The World's Finest Coffee Maker?
Most Unique Coffee Maker EverTopBrewer available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center There are many fine coffee makers available today. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center carries a complete selection of built-in coffee makers as well as the very fine countertop European brand, Nespresso. Built-in coffee maker brands include big names such as Bosch, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Gaggenau, Jenn-Air, and most recently Wolf. However, the unique and exclusive TopBrewer brand is certainly worth writing about. Truthfully, there is just nothing like it. The coffee maker itself remains hidden under the counter and the tap that delivers the coffee or espresso or cappucino is the only thing visible to the user. If you had to guess where a coffee maker with such a minimalistic design would come from you'd probably have Denmark near the top of your list and you'd be right on the mark. Here's what the makers of this amazing luxury product have to say about the design:Simply RevolutionaryThe beautiful, patented stainless steel tap is designed to be built into any tabletop. The simplicity of the TopBrewer fits elegantly into any surroundings...the TopBrewer brews a perfect cup of fresh-bean coffee – every time.TopBrewer can be controlled remotely from an iPhone or iPad, and will deliver exquisite coffee, latte, cappuccino, machiatto, or even just hot water for tea. Whatever you order, the machine delivers your drink, made from scratch, in 45 seconds or less. If you didn't know better, you'd swear that there was a barista -

Many Major Appliances are Made in the U.S.
Where are cooking appliances made? Customers often want to know where an appliance is manufactured. A surprising number of major appliances sold in the U.S. are manufactured here also. Let's take a look at cooking products. Here are where the Big 3 appliance manufacturers in the U.S. (Whirlpool, Electrolux/Frigidaire, and GE) make their ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Whirlpool Corporation also includes Amana, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Maytag brands. They have a large facility (one million sq. ft.) in Cleveland, Tenn. where freestanding and slide-in ranges are built, as well as cooktops and wall ovens. In addition, they also build some ranges in their Tulsa, Oklahoma facility. Headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Whirlpool is the largest appliance manufacturer in the world. Over 80% of the appliances that Whirlpool sells in the U.S. are manufactured here. Whirlpool claims to employ more U.S. workers than all their competitors combined. Electrolux/Frigidaire has their range factory in Springfield, Tennessee, and has build a new cooktop facility near Memphis. It's worth noting that the Swedish firm Electrolux is the 2nd largest appliance manufacturer in the world, and has a major U.S. presence. GE makes ranges and ovens in their Roper facility in Lafayette, GA. GE also has strong ties to Mabe, a Mexican appliance company that builds GE's gas ranges. In spite of GE's affiliation with Mabe (GE has a 48% stake), GE is a leader in "insourcing", and has been adding appliance manufacturing jobs in the U.S. for several years. In addition, GE is quite proud -

Under Counter Ice Machines and Ice Makers
Choosing an Ice Machine or Ice Maker at UAKC If you find yourself going through more ice than your refrigerator's icemaker can produce, it may be time to consider getting a separate unit to make your ice. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has Southern California's best availabilty and lowest prices for undercounter ice machines and icemakers. There are two basic types of ice producing appliances available. Undercounter icemakers work on the same principle as the icemaker in a refrigerator. They are actually downsized freezers that have an icemaker built in. The icemaker consists of a tray that fills with water. The water freezes into cubes, and the icemaker "harvests" the cubes by dumping them into a container in the bottom of the freezer. The process repeats itself until the container fills with ice. Then the icemaker quits making ice until the ice level in the container starts to drop. The ice cubes are kept frozen by a cooling unit in the icemaker. An ice machine has a metal mold or cold plate. Water is continually sprayed upward onto the cold plate and freezes. Contaminants in the water fall off leaving clear ice. Heat is then used to separate the clear cubes from the mold or plate and the cubes fall into the bin below. Unlike an icemaker, an ice machine has no separate cooling unit to keep the ice cubes frozen. The ice machine continues to replenish the ice -

New Refrigerators Inside at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center
What's Inside Your Refrigerator?Materials used inside today's refrigeratorsThe interior of a new refrigerator is most likely to have a sturdy plastic liner made of material called ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Between the ABS liner and the metal exterior of the refrigerator is foamed polyurethane. Some refrigerators may be made with metal interiors such as stainless steel. Once standard for refrigerator interiors, porcelain is no longer used to line the inside of refrigerators. The latest trend for the inside of your fridge appears to be new colors. Visit Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center to review all the new refrigerator interiors and options. Below are two of the latest innovative colors in refrigerators from KitchenAid and Jenn-Air.New Colors Inside RefrigeratorsRecently, KitchenAid has launched a refrigerator with a Platinum interior, and Jenn-Air will be launching an Obsidian color in some of its built-in models.KitchenAidKitchenAid® 29 Cu.

Dishwasher Cycle Times
Dishwashers to get your dishes clean quicklyAvailable now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterOne of the most common issues that comes up on dishwasher reviews is the amount of time that it takes for a dishwasher to complete a full cycle. Customers report their frustration with dishwasher cycle times that can exceed three hours.Over the last decade dishwashers have radically reduced the amount of energy that they use, the amount of water that they consume, and at the same time dishwasher noise levels have dropped dramatically. However, these fantastic improvements have not occurred without tradeoffs. For example, instead of washing dishes in both racks simultaneously, several dishwasher brands now have spray arms that alternate washing dishes on the top rack and then switching to the bottom rack. With only half the dishes getting washed at any given time the sound levels go down, but naturally the wash times go up.So now, to address the consumer complaints of extended wash times, some dishwasher brands have quicker wash cycles for lightly soiled dishes or glasses.Jenn-Air touts a one hour wash for quick cleaning on the new Jenn-Air Trifecta™ dishwashers.Frigidaire's new dishwashers with the OrbitClean® wash system include a 30 minute Quick Wash.Miele trumps both Jenn-Air and Frigidaire with a 19 minute cycle on its model G7859. How can they get dishes clean with such a short wash cycle? Well, this Miele model is a commercial dishwasher that works on 208v. It's really designed for a community center, a day care facility, etc. -
