I entered the appliance field in 1992, starting as a technician. In 1996, I opened my first retail showroom, Best Maytag Home Appliance Center, in Los Angeles. In 1997, I opened a second store in Sherman Oaks, followed by The Maytag Store in Northridge in 1999. I established Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center in 2000. Starting as a small shop with only two sales staff in Sherman Oaks, CA, we have expanded to two showrooms with a vast selection of products, including appliances, plumbing fixtures, water filtration systems, and outdoor grills.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Great selection of appliances. Great staff! MD was a great help in organizing our order and was easy to work with during our construction delay. The installation team was prompt and professional. Even though we are in Long Beach, I would still go up to Calabasas for any future appliance needs.

Service was great. Delivery was prompt. Installation was flawless. Price was unbeatable. Very pleasant experience from shopping to installation. I would definitely recommend them to any one in the market for appliances.

Great price on my GE Cafe dishwasher. Salesman was very concerned that it would not fit my undercounter space. Took a little convincing but finally got him to sell it to me. This might seem like a negative at first, but he made me make sure that it would fit and he was very concerned that I would be happy with my purchase. I definitely am and installation went very well.
I feel this dishwasher is one of the best appliances I have purchased.

Outstanding appliance selection. Great sales staff that was professional and helped us find our dream kitchen. We will do business with Universal again... probably when we upgrade are kitchen fixtures. Thank you Universal!

We walked in today to Universal Appliances on a hunt for new appliances for our outdoor kitchen and were well taken care of by Justin. He gave us a full tour and even went into some of the history of the different brands. His knowledge and experience with the products was super impressive.
With our budget, he customized all the different parts, getting creative with the different brands.
The prices were fair and very competitive with other stores we had shopped around at.
Great experience! Will definitely be coming back when we redo our kitchen! - which is our next project!!

When I needed a service call for my Jennifer Air dishwasher, this is the 2nd time for this dishwasher, it's only 4 years old, they cancelled my appointment without my authorization. They claimed that I had called to cancel; why would I do that when I've been without a dishwasher for almost 2 weeks. It's the customer service AFTER the sale that's very important, it's how they will take care of you when you have problems.

Absolutely the best place to buy all your appliances for your home. The showroom is big, clean, beautiful and fully stocked with all the best brands and full range of appliances. Tim has been a dream to work with, incredibly knowledgeable - he knows about every brand and gave us great recommendations and also provided product comparison information. I highly recommend Universal to anyone looking to buy any appliance for their home, and I am truly grateful for all the kind assistance they provided me. Special thanks to Tim and Igor for helping me fully furnish my new kitchen with gorgeous Italian appliances!

Very happy with our purchase and follow up service.
I like that they have there own technicians and delivery personnel.
Delivery and set up went very smoothly.
Our salesman Long was very accommodating and followed up until the range was installed and working properly.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Universal, both with the sales person and with the delivery and installation team. I had an urgent project and no idea how to tackle it and the second Long answered the phone, he completely put me at ease that this was an honest place that cares about their customers. I was a challenging customer because I had to keep calling to make changes based on certain constraints of the project and Long did not mind at all. He was always helpful and patient. And when the delivery team showed up, they were professional and nice as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for appliances, especially if you need guidance and flexibility. Thank you, Universal!

We called Universal Appliance at 5:00pm on a Saturday after having been ignored for 20 minutes at Pacific Sales. Tim answered the phone and was so friendly and so helpful that we decided to get back in the car and head out to Calabasas right then.
We ended up getting the whole package of appliances for our kitchen remodel (refrigerator, range top, wall oven/microwave combo, hood vent and dishwasher) and are very happy we went to Universal Appliance and worked with Tim!
He even stayed 30 minutes past closing to give us time to decide on our brand choice and work with us in pricing.
