Highlights from the Builder Show (IBS)
New Appliances and Plumbing from IBS
Coming Soon to Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center
The 2013 IBS – International Builder Show was held in Las Vegas on Jan. 21-24. Over 60,000 builders and trade related customers attended. Here are a few of the new appliance and plumbing items that were shown at this annual expo. Some are available today at UAKC, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. The rest will be arriving within a few months.
GE Appliances
Within a few months, GE will launch a new look in its successful Profile appliance line-up. Here is an sneak peak of an exciting new Wi-Fi Enabled Profile Wall Oven. The lighted red line on the photo below vanishes as the oven timer counts down, giving the cook a strong visual indication from across the room of how much time is left. The appliance can be operated from a wi-fi enabled iPhone or Android device, and features a unique convection system with a fan that surrounds the food with preheated air even from the top.
GE's new twin evaporator Profile French Door Refrigerator has an all new dispenser system that even dispenses HOT water – great for soups or hot tea.
Kohler Plumbing
Not to be outdone by their appliance friends, Kohler introduced their Moxie shower head + wireless speaker that plays music while you shower. You can pipe the music in from any bluetooth enabled device. Now when you sing in the shower, you can do a duet with Tony Bennett.
Best Range Hoods
Thermador Appliances
Thermador displayed their recently introduced Thermador Pro Grand Commercial Depth Dual Fuel Steam Range. It's a powerful professional range, with a separate steam convection oven, and warming drawer. The range top has 6 powerful burners and an interchangeable grill/griddle. Buy this range and Thermador will throw in a free dishwasher. The Thermador Pro Grand Range is available now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center.
