Why Universal Coolers is the Best Brand For New York City Restauranteurs

It doesn’t matter whether you run a pizzeria or a convenience store — the equipment you use to store food and beverages will have a direct impact on the customer experience, the quality of your food, and even whether you stay compliant with health code regulations.

Needless to say, choosing the right equipment could make or break your kitchen operations. You don’t want to leave this important investment to chance.

Because of this, food vendors in New York City turn to brands like Universal Coolers. While having a great reputation for consistently manufacturing quality products plays a key part of this decision, there is another factor that plays an important role: Universal Coolers, like Kitchen & Bath Authority, is based out of Brooklyn.

Even in a time when online retail is becoming increasingly dominant, the option to buy from a local supplier can make a big difference.

Why Shop Local?

There is no denying that online shopping has completely transformed the way most of us look for and purchase products. It can be incredibly convenient to place an order from the comfort of your own home, using online customer reviews to have confidence in your purchase — and these days, you can buy almost everything online.

But when it comes to commercial refrigeration equipment, checking an online review isn’t always enough. Private label online companies don’t always give you the option to come into a showroom, where you can touch and feel the units. Nor do all private label companies allow customers to post reviews to their website, which can leave you hard-pressed to determine whether a particular product actually delivers on its promises.

In a showroom (like you would encounter at Universal Coolers’ or Kitchen & Bath Authority’s Brooklyn warehouses), you have the opportunity to inspect the products you are interested in first-hand. There is something different about being able to open storage drawers and test out other elements for yourself that can give you a much better idea of whether a piece of equipment is the right fit for your facility. For many, this tangible experience is far more beneficial than an online review could ever be.

An in-person inspection also allows you to see just how big a commercial refrigeration product is, making it easier to imagine how it would fit into your kitchen or a customer-facing area. 

Another area where Universal Coolers’ local status gives it a distinct advantage is shipping. While you can get free shipping from both local and online retailers, the level of service the shipping company is able to provide can vary. 

After all, unloading large refrigeration units isn’t easy. Tasks like un-palleting a refrigerator, installing casters, and disposing of excess packing materials can be quite time-consuming. If you’re no equipment expert, attempting this work on your own could even lead to accidental damage of the unit you just spent thousands of dollars on.

When you shop from an online-exclusive retailer, you will likely need to hire an additional contractor to take care of installation work. On the other hand, equipment retailers with a local presence understand the importance of building a strong relationship with their customers. This extends to all aspects of the purchase, including shipping. Faster shipping with additional assistance during the installation process will make it that much easier to get your new equipment up and running.

With both a brick-and-mortar location in Brooklyn and an online retail presence through Kitchen & Bath Authority, Universal Coolers provides customers the best of both worlds — the convenience of online shopping, and the confidence that comes from buying local.

The Universal Coolers Difference

Of course, not all local brands are created equal. Many who find themselves in need of commercial kitchen equipment shop online simply because there aren’t any quality manufacturers or retailers in their area. For them, buying online is the only way to have confidence that they are getting a quality product.

Thankfully, this isn’t a problem with Universal Coolers. The brand has operated out of New York City since 1982, and is still run by its original owners — and there are several reasons why the brand has stood the test of time.

For one thing, Universal Coolers sources only the highest quality parts to ensure that each of its products exceeds expectations. Equipment is made from durable materials like aluminum and stainless steel, that are designed to stand up to the rigors of a commercial kitchen. Each Universal Coolers product is made in the United States, so you can have confidence that it will operate efficiently while minimizing potential maintenance and repair needs.

The Universal Coolers team also brings extensive experience with the restaurant and food service industries to their products and services. Their team uses their industry knowledge to help customers find the best products for their needs based on factors ranging from power usage to available space. If you’re not sure what you need, you can get valuable input from a knowledgable professional (similar options are available when you shop online through Kitchen & Bath Authority).

This expertise even allows Universal Coolers to produce custom commercial refrigeration equipment. This unique service element isn’t something you would find through an online private label brand. Skilled craftsmen utilize the latest design and manufacturing tech to ensure great outcomes for standard and custom equipment alike, whether you need a Pizza Prep Refrigerator or a Sandwich Prep Table.

Universal Coolers continues this dedication to customer satisfaction through the delivery process, offering a “white glove delivery” that includes unpacking, inspecting, and setting up the equipment in the desired location, as well as disposing of excess packing materials.

The brand’s dedication to producing high-quality commercial refrigeration equipment, paired with stellar service, has played a key role in establishing its partnership with Kitchen & Bath Authority. Here at Kitchen & Bath Authority, we only work with the most trusted and experienced brands in the country. After conducting thorough research, Universal Coolers’ amazing pedigree made them an easy choice as an addition to our commercial equipment line.

Universal Coolers Products

So what products does Universal Coolers have available? Here is a closer look at some of the products that you’ll see at restaurants, delis, and even convenience stores throughout New York City — and across the country. Ease of use is a key consideration for Universal Coolers products. The vast majority of these products don’t require any kind of plumbing hookup, allowing you to place the equipment wherever you think is best with minimal fuss. A wide variety of user-friendly design elements make it easy to care for your equipment and keep your kitchen operating at peak efficiency.

Pizza Prep Refrigerator: A pizza prep refrigerator is the perfect equipment solution for a fast-paced pizzeria. This horizontal unit features both a work table space and refrigerated storage compartments. The lower refrigerated compartments keep perishable pizza ingredients and dough pans at a safe temperature — Universal Coolers products can maintain temperatures ranging from 33 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Tabletop food bins with a hinged top add even more storage space, while the 20-inch wide marble table surface is ideally suited for kneading dough or cutting and assembling pizzas. The Universal Coolers SC-117-PPT 117 Inch Pizza Prep Refrigerator is designed for the largest and busiest of pizzerias, with an oversized compressor, a refrigerated rail that can hold four full-size pans, and added conveniences like an integrated door light. Smaller models are also available in widths ranging from 48 to 96 inches. All Universal Coolers Pizza Prep Refrigerators use 134A refrigerant and an easily-serviced compressor for reliable performance.

Sandwich Prep Table: Universal Coolers’ Sandwich Prep Tables are ideally suited for any sandwich shop. Even the smallest available unit — the Universal Coolers SC-48-BMI 47 Inch Mega Top Sandwich Prep Unit/Cooler comes with intuitive features like rounded corners and a removable magnetic door gasket for easy cleaning, a self-closing door that can stay open at 90 degrees, and automatic defrost. High-tech additions like an LED digital temperature display and error codes for diagnosing any maintenance issues help further modernize your kitchen. Better still, the temperature and defrost settings can be customized according to your preferences. Of course, you will also find the same sandwich prep essentials that you would expect from any other sandwich table. The lower refrigerated areas offer a climate controlled space for sandwich or salad ingredients that can hold up to 18 small pans or three large pans. An insulated storage area on top of the cabinet ensures easy access to prepped ingredients so you can speed up sandwich preparation. In addition, an 8-inch wide cutting board extends the entire length of the table to create an easy to use workstation.

Display Cases/Coolers: Universal Coolers offers a wide array of display cases and coolers that are ideally suited for convenience stores, delis, and more. For example, convenience store owners could select between an open display case such as the Universal Coolers OPC-10 120 Inch Remote Open Display Case/Cooler or the reach-in Universal Coolers ADM-3 78 Inch Three Swinging Glass Door Reach-in Remote Cooler/Freezer. Regardless of the size or style you need, Universal Coolers has plenty of options that can fit your space and the preferences of your customers. Vinyl and PVC-coated shelves, high-output fluorescent lighting, and a mix of stainless steel and aluminum exteriors and interiors ensures that these refrigeration units are easy to maintain and provide an attractive display case for food and drinks. The ability to hold temperatures between 33 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit keeps drinks and food products cool, ready for your customers to grab and go.

Deli Displays: Delis and bakeries have their own unique display needs, and Universal Coolers has these New York City staples covered with an array of custom-manufactured equipment. For example, the Universal Coolers BCI-48-SC 47.2 Inch Bakery Display Case utilizes heavy duty glass shelves and exteriors to create an attractive display for your baked goods. The addition of a self-closing sliding glass door and a “no stoop” lower shelf make it easy to provide prompt service after your customers make a selection. As with other Universal Coolers products, reliable refrigeration helps preserve baked goods. Deli owners can’t go wrong with products like the Universal Coolers FCI-82-SC 79 Inch Counter Height Deli Display Case/Cooler. Double pane glass helps this refrigerated cooler maintain temperatures between 32 and 43 degrees Fahrenheit. This specialty cooler also uses a gravity coil refrigeration system, specifically designed to create the high humidity environment needed to keep meats and cheeses fresh for your customers.

Ice Cream Freezers: With summer on the way, more and more New Yorkers will be looking to cool off with a scoop of ice cream or gelato. Universal Coolers produces several ice cream freezer displays to help your customers find their favorite flavor. For example, the Universal Coolers AGD-10 Slim Line 54-3/4 Inch Gelato Ice Cream Freezer With 10 Stainless Steel Containers features interior LED lighting and a front glass defogger so your ice cream is always presented in the best light possible. A wide selection of wood veneer styles (or a basic white aluminum front with black sides) allows you to coordinate your freezer with the rest of your shop’s decor to create an inviting atmosphere. Features such as adjustable legs, automatic defrost and condenser evaporation, and a programmable thermostat make these products easy to use and maintain.

Chef Bases: A quality refrigerator or freezer is essential in any restaurant. Universal Coolers has dining establishments of all types covered with an impressive variety of products. Chefs that are short on space could benefit from products like the Universal Coolers CBI-52 52 Inch Chef Base Refrigerator/Cooler. This chef base unit helps keep frequently-used items fresh when they need to be used for food prep, while the cabinet top can be used for other tasks, such as meal preparation of additional storage. The top is made from reinforced stainless steel and utilizes a raised “V” edge to prevent spills when working on the surface. Heavy-duty casters and a more compact design make chef bases ideally suited for catering, as they can more easily be taken on the go. This way, you don’t have to worry about whether the event location has adequate equipment for your food prep needs. The low height of a chef base also makes it easy to store under a table or counter, giving you a convenient refrigerated space for storing some of your most-used perishable ingredients.

Commercial Refrigerators & Freezers: Of course, larger standard commercial refrigerators and freezers are also available from Universal Coolers. For example, the Universal Coolers RIFI-81 81 Inch Reach-in Stainless Solid Door Refrigerator/Freezer provides an impressive 72 cubic feet of storage space. Designed with frozen food preservation in mind, this unit can maintain temperatures from -8 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and features self-closing doors to conserve power consumption and keep your kitchen running smoothly. Rounded corners, adjustable shelves, and an easy-access condenser coil allow for easy cleaning and maintenance. Adjustable temperature and defrost settings, customizable shelving configurations, and a “no stoop” bottom shelf will enable you to adapt the interior layout of these refrigerators and freezers in accordance with your own unique food storage needs.

Each of these products are available online through Kitchen & Bath Authority — and New York City residents can also check them out at local warehouses to get a first-hand experience with their quality and ease of use.

The Best of Both Worlds

Going into a local showroom to inspect commercial refrigeration equipment in person isn’t an option for everyone. But when it is, there is no denying that taking this extra step in the buying process can go a long way in helping you make the right selection for your business.

When you shop for Universal Coolers products from Kitchen & Bath Authority, you get the best of both worlds. Local customers in the New York City area have the ability to test out products in the showroom, but all customers can enjoy online pricing, free and fast shipping, and a dedicated support team that wants to ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase. We even offer affordable monthly payment plans that make it easier for you to upgrade your kitchen! Whether you need a Pizza Prep Refrigerator or a Sandwich Prep Table, we have you covered.

When you buy from Kitchen & Bath Authority, you can also have confidence that you will be getting a quality product. We conduct extensive research prior to choosing brands to offer on our site, so you can have confidence that each brand has been thoroughly vetted based on the overall quality of its equipment. You don’t have to take our word for it, either. With online reviews, you can see what others are saying about Universal Coolers and the many other brands available on our site.

Make an investment for your business that will stand the test of time — and that will help you work more efficiently and deliver better service to your customers. Place your order today, and experience the Universal Coolers difference for yourself.

Fresca vs. Robern Vanities — What You Should Know

When it comes to combining functionality and style, few bathroom features get the job done quite like a vanity. Whether you need some extra space for storing towels, toilet paper, and other bathroom necessities or a simple pedestal to support your sink, there are countless bathroom vanity styles available.

Two of the biggest bathroom vanity brands on the market today are Fresca and Robern. While both brands are extremely popular, homeowners may find themselves wondering which option will be best for their needs.

Robern is an American brand that was founded in 1968. What started with railing designs quickly spread to cabinetry, a background that made the transition to designing bathroom vanities and medicine cabinets that much easier. Fresca is a Chinese brand that has gained popularity in recent years thanks in large part to the sheer variety of vanities that it produces.

The good news is you can’t really go wrong with either option. Both Fresca and Robern produce high-quality products that are built to deliver quality performance for many years to come. However, understanding the different features and styles available from each brand will help you determine which one best matches your preferences.

Here is a closer look at some of the key attributes of Fresca and Robern vanities. 

Theme

Do you prefer a sleek, contemporary design or something more traditional? The general appearance of a bathroom vanity is typically one of the first features most homeowners will consider when making their selection.

Fresca vanities are available in contemporary/modern styles, as well as traditional/classic and transitional styles. Robern vanities, on the other hand, are almost entirely focused on helping you create a contemporary/modern look for your home.

So what do these “themes” mean? A contemporary or modern vanity utilizes design elements from the late 19th century to today. There is an emphasis on functionality over intricate design, so you won’t see intricate carvings or patterns inlaid in the vanity itself. Instead, a contemporary or modern vanity will have flat, smooth surfaces. A modern vanity will typically have a square or rectangular shape with hard, straight edges. Contemporary vanities tend to be more rounded, taking on a curved half-circle appearance.

Examples of modern vanities include the Robern VF60PDCNPWM V14 60 Inch Vanity W/Center Sink & Plumbing and the Fresca FCB8430WH-I Valencia 30 Inch Glossy White Free Standing Bathroom Vanity.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are traditional bathroom vanities. As HGTV explains, “Traditional bathroom vanities are generally thought of as maintaining the old-world European feel of ‘furniture-style’ vanities. This means that they often feature an ornate design with delicately carved tabletops, intricate molding, and elegant hardware. Drawers or cabinets are common, and the most commonly employed material is classic, solid hardwood. Colors run the gamut, but many traditional bathroom vanities use common tones like whites, beiges and other light, airy colors.”

Traditional vanities are often designed to look more like a dresser or another piece of furniture. Great examples of this style from Fresca include the Fresca FCB2305GR-I Manchester 30 Inch Grady Traditional Bathroom Vanity and the Fresca FVN2302WH-CMB Hartford 24 Inch White Traditional Bathroom Vanity.

Finally, there are transitional vanities. As you might expect, transitional vanities fall somewhere in between traditional and modern styles. Design elements may be more subdued than in a traditional vanity, but not to the point of being as sleek and seamless as a modern vanity. Once again, Fresca is the brand of choice if you are interested in a transitional vanity. The Fresca FCB31-3030ACA Formosa 58 Inch Wall Hung Double Sink is a great example of this style.

Colors and Materials

The right color or finish — as well as the materials used in construction — will further define the look and aesthetic of your bathroom vanity. Both Robern and Fresca models offer a diverse range of color options to help you match your vanity to existing bathroom decor or add a splash of color. Finish options include blacks, browns, chromes, whites, yellows, reds, and even glass.

Thanks to its emphasis on modern and contemporary styles, Robern vanities come in a slightly larger range of colors, with blues, gold tones, and patterns also available.

Of course, a key part of the color and finish of the bathroom vanity are the materials used to construct the vanity base. As previously noted, the traditional vanities from Fresca are generally constructed from wood, though contemporary styles such as the Fresca FVN1019 Ovale 24 Inch Modern Glass Bathroom Vanity W/Frosted Edge Mirror combine a glass basin with a jewel tone chrome stand.

Robern offers even more unique finishes. For example, the Robern VF24TDCNPA7320 Adorn II 24 Inch Vanity is primarily built from aluminum. This material choice doesn’t just create a unique modern aesthetic for your bathroom. It also maximizes the durability of the vanity thanks to aluminum’s moisture and corrosion-resistant properties. Other material choices include wood veneers, which utilize a stylish, moisture-resistant finish.

Countertop materials are another important point of consideration. Most Robern vanities come with a standard stone countertop. However, many vanities, such as the Robern VM36H1D21P10N Cartesian 36-1/8 W x 7-1/2 H x 21-3/4 D Inch Slim Drawer Vanity With Plumbing Drawer, don’t come with a pre-installed countertop. Instead, buyers select from Robern’s line of countertops to complete their vanity. While some might find it inconvenient to purchase a vanity countertop separately, this can give you greater control over the final design of your vanity.

Robern vanity tops are available in a wide array of materials and styles. Stone, glass, and engineered stone designs ensure that you can get the exact custom look you desire, including modern white or black countertops.

While Fresca offers a greater variety of countertop materials, there is generally less flexibility toward fully customizing your countertop. For example, the Fresca FVN2260AC Kingston 60 Inch Antique Coffee Double Sink Traditional Bathroom Vanity With Mirrors comes with a gorgeous marble countertop. However, other countertop materials aren’t available for this model.

This isn’t a bad thing at all — just something to consider as you try to find the right style. With available countertop materials ranging from resin and acrylic to ceramic and quartz, the Fresca line gives you plenty of options to choose from so you can find the right match for your tastes and budget.

Cabinet Type

Another factor to consider when deciding between a Robern and Fresca bathroom vanity is the type of vanity you need. Bathroom vanities come in one of three styles: free-standing (or cabinet-style), wall-mounted, and pedestal.

Both Fresca and Robern offer a wide range of free-standing and wall-mounted vanities. Free-standing vanities typically use either a legged furniture design or a kick plate to create a solid look that also offers more storage space. Examples of free-standing vanities include the Robern VB42H2D21P10N71 Balletto 42 W x 15 H Inch Single Drawer Vanity With Plumbing Drawer and the Fresca FVN2302BL-CMB Hartford 24 Inch Black Traditional Bathroom Vanity.

Some free-standing Fresca and Robern vanities also utilize an open shelving space below the standard pull-out drawers to create a more airy feel for the bathroom. Generally speaking, free-standing models are most common in traditional vanities, though many modern vanities also follow this design pattern.

Wall-mounted vanities are especially common in contemporary and transitional designs. These vanities are mounted to the wall, leaving an open area between the vanity and the floor. Vanities such as the Fresca FCB31-123612ACA-CWH-U Formosa 60 Inch Wall Hung Single Sink Modern Bathroom Cabinet or the Robern 30119400TB00003 Cartesian 30 Inch Three Drawer Decorative Glass Vanity help evoke a sleek, modern style that helps the bathroom feel more spacious.

While a wall-mounted vanity can lend a great modern touch, it is important to remember that these models typically can’t support as much weight as a free-standing vanity. If you have young children who like to climb on the countertops, you may want to consider a free-standing vanity instead.

While both Robern and Fresca offer a fantastic selection of free-standing and wall-mounted vanities, only Fresca offers smaller pedestal vanities. Perfect for half-bathrooms where space is extremely limited, pedestal vanities forgo many features such as storage drawers. Instead, the sink is paired with an attractive pedestal base to conserve space. Examples include the Fresca FVN1053 Vitale 16.5 Inch Modern Glass Bathroom Vanity W/Miror and the Fresca FVN5023WH Parma 24 Inch White Pedestal Sink W/Medicine Cabinet.

While a pedestal vanity likely won’t be ideal for a master suite, it is a great option for bathrooms where space is at a premium.

Added Features

A base cabinet is expected for practically any non-pedestal bathroom vanity. But Robern and Fresca vanities both have additional options that could make all the difference for homeowners trying to maximize the functionality of their bathroom.

One feature that is offered by select Robern and Fresca models is a night light. Whether you need help navigating the bathroom at night or some extra lighting for working through your morning routine, this feature can prove surprisingly useful. LED lights are available with models like the Robern 24219100TB00001 Cartesian 24 Inch Decorative Glass Vanity or the compatible mirror for the Fresca FPVN7832CB Platinum Due 32 Inch Glossy Cobalt Bathroom Vanity.

Each brand also has unique additional features that are available for certain models. For example, the Robern VB30H1D21P10N71 Balletto 30 W x 7-1/2 H Inch Slim Vanity Base Unit With Plumbing Drawer comes with an organization kit featuring adjustable drawer dividers. This allows users to further customize their bathroom storage. This same model also features several hidden storage options that make it easy to keep items organized and out of sight. This may seem like a minor addition, but it goes a long way in creating a cleaner appearance for the bathroom.

Other Robern vanities feature side kits that allow for a slight extension of the vanity width for an even more luxurious design.

Fresca bathroom vanities also come with a wide array of available features to give homeowners more options for how they decorate and organize their bathroom. For example, the Fresca FVN62-3612GO-VSL Torino 48 Inch Gray Oak Modern Bathroom Vanity W/Side Cabinet & Vessel Sink utilizes a linen side cabinet with three extra drawers to provide more storage space. Open shelving underneath the standard drawers of other vanities also creates more versatile storage.

Many Fresca bathroom vanities also come paired with a matching mirror or medicine cabinet to further complete the look and functionality of your bathroom. The included medicine cabinet can be especially useful for smaller pedestal-style vanities, allowing homeowners to still enjoy additional storage space in their bathroom when a full-size vanity simply wouldn’t fit.

While an included medicine cabinet or mirror can create the perfect stylistic match for a Fresca medicine cabinet, this additional feature isn’t always necessary. If you love your current bathroom mirrors, an extra mirror would likely be nothing more than a waste of money! Of course, there are plenty of Fresca and Robern models available without mirrors and medicine cabinets, and both brands offer a variety of standalone mirrors and medicine cabinets to better match your preferences.

Warranty Information

Another factor prospective buyers may wish to consider is the warranty offered by each company. Though professional installation should prevent most problems, having a quality warranty can provide much-needed peace of mind should an issue arise with your new bathroom vanity.

Robern offers a limited one-year warranty on all its products. This warranty addresses significant material and workmanship defects. The brand will repair or replace defective vanities as necessary, though the customer is typically responsible for installation costs. Certain “operating components” — like the opening devices and hinges found in vanity drawers — have warranty coverage beyond the initial year.

Fresca offers a three-year limited warranty to address workmanship or material defects, including all bathroom vanity parts and finishes. Fresca provides customers with any parts needed for repairs or replacements. It should be noted that this warranty coverage is only valid if your vanity is installed by a licensed professional.

With both warranties, damage caused by product abuse, using improper cleaning products, or poor installation will not be covered by the company. This also includes any attempts at DIY repairs using your own non-branded parts. 

If you are concerned about the possibility of future maintenance issues, you should carefully review the warranty information for your product of choice so you will not be denied coverage. Paying for professional installation now could help you save money in the long run.

Which Brand Should You Get?

Ultimately, the decision of whether to get a Robern or Fresca bathroom vanity comes down to your personal tastes and the needs of your bathroom. If you are remodeling a small hallway half-bath, a pedestal vanity from Fresca will likely be your best option. If you are upgrading your master bathroom, however, you can choose pretty much whichever Fresca or Robern vanity will best fit your space and usage needs.

You should also consider how you plan to use your bathroom on a daily basis. For example, if both you and your spouse will be getting ready in the morning at the same time, you will likely benefit from a vanity with additional counter space or even double sinks. Be aware of how much storage space you will need from your vanity, while also being mindful of the options provided by medicine cabinets, shelving, and other available storage options.

The location of your current plumbing outlets will also affect the size and style of vanity that will work best for your bathroom. Getting precise measurements of the available height, width, and depth will help you narrow your search to the Robern or Fresca vanity that is best suited for your layout.

It will also be helpful to consider the rest of the decor in your bathroom. For example, if you are in the process of remodeling your entire bathroom and are using Robern products for other fixtures, selecting a Robern bathroom vanity will help you create a more cohesive, unified design.

Even if you are not remodeling your entire bathroom, you should take the current design features of your bathroom into consideration when choosing between Fresca and Robern vanities. You don’t want your new vanity to stick out like a sore thumb! Choose a style that will be a good match for your current fixtures and decor.
