Save on KitchenAid at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterRebates of up to $1500 on KitchenAidKitchenAid made its name as an innovator many years ago with the first automatic dishwasher. For decades the KitchenAid name was synonymous with dishwasher. Today, of course, Kitchenaid is a leading brand in premium major appliances. It's a category that I refer to as "affordable luxury", or high-end appliances without the luxury appliance pricing.Outside of the dishwasher, KitchenAid also has some superb cooking products being a leader in convection technology, and an early adopter with induction cooktops. KitchenAid also introduced the first French Door model Built-In refrigerator/freezer. Also an innovator in style, KitchenAid has recently launched the black stainless steel collection of appliances. Here's what KitchenAid has to say about this new collection:THE COLOR OF CREATIVITYBlack stainless steel makes a bold addition to any kitchen. The soft, brushed metal of the black stainless is offset by chrome details and satin-textured handles. And with a PrintShield™ Finish that resists fingerprints and smudges, your appliances will stay as stunning as ever.THE FIRST-EVER BLACK STAINLESS STEELThe premium color of KitchenAid appliances is a softer, warmer alternative to traditional stainless steel. Designed to blend with other black and stainless appliances, it makes a bold statement and complements the kitchen design. Now, your purchase of KitchenAid appliances at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center can also earn you rebates totaling up to $1500.

Should you buy a trash compactor?Trash compactors first became popular in the 70's. Today, trash compactors are part of the lineup for most appliance manufacturers. The pros of buying a trash compactor include: 1) the convenience of having fewer trips taking the trash out, and 2) the benefit of a smaller footprint at our waste disposal sites by compressing your trash 5 times. However, there is the thought that recycle bins are more environmentally helpful. It's worth pointing out that these solutions are not mutually exclusive. In fact, if you typically recycle, you might consider using a compactor exclusively for recyclables. How trash compactors work.Trash compactors have a powerful motor that will compress trash as much as 5:1 when activated, compressing loose contents into a small package. Typically, compactors will fit in a standard depth 24" deep cabinet, and at 34 1/2" tall will fit nicely under a standard 36" countertop. The most common width is 15". Most compactors also have a deodorizer or charcoal filter. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center can help. UAKC sells all the major trash compactor brands, as well as the premium and luxury brands, from the popularly priced Whirlpool brand to a luxury Viking brand compactor and everything in between. One super-premium brand, Jenn-Air has just launched a new compactor. Below are the details on Jenn-Air's new compactor:Efficiently reduce your trash by up to 80% with the Jenn-Air® Trash Compactor. It's equipped with Anti-Jam and Tilt Sensors for smooth operation on large waste products. Features:5:1

Colorful Salute to the New YearCranberry Champagne CocktailHeres a great adaption of the traditional glass of champagne to bring in the New Year. Not only tasty, it's a colorful departure from tradition. Tyler Florence - Food Network 1 -ounce cranberry juice (sweetened)1 wedge limeChampagne or sparkling wineCranberries (frozen)In a chilled Champagne flute add cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. Top off the glass with Champagne. Garnish with 3 or 4 cranberries. This is one of my favorite ways to convert Champagne into a delightful holiday drink. It adds just a tad of sweetness and color. Feel free to adapt this. Substitute a cube of sugar instead of the cranberries. No lime wedge? Use an orange slice. It's your party. You make the rules!If you need something to store a few bottles of wine or maybe Champagne, check with the professionals at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center.
