U-Line Appliances: A Tradition of Innovation

(0 comments)

U-Line offers a range of commercial and residential appliances engineered to combine efficiency, quality, and innovation. For over five decades, the company has consistently raised the bar for in-home and commercial refrigerators, chillers, and freezers. If you’re looking for top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, U-Line deserves to be on your list. 

U-Line Appliances: The Story

Founded by Henry Uihelein, Sr., in 1962, U-Line Corporation was originally an extension of the previously established Ben Hur Freezers. The brand started out being sold door-to-door, primarily offering the first residential undercounter ice maker. 

Today, U-Line kitchen appliances have expanded to include a range of products, including:

  • Ice machines
  • Refridgerators
  • Freezers
  • Wine coolers
  • Beverage dispensers
  • And more

The brand’s commercial kitchen appliances include pass-through refrigerators, prep tables, and other cold-storage appliances. 

Who Owns U-Line Appliances?

The U-Line Corporation was acquired by Middleby Corporation in 2014, adding to the publicly traded company’s extensive portfolio of residential and commercial foodservice brands. U-Line joins CookTek, Market Forge, Holman, and more than a dozen companies operated by Middleby. 

Where Are U-Line Appliances Made?

The majority of U-Line kitchen appliances are designed, engineered, and assembled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the same city where the company was founded in 1962. The brand is one of the few truly USA-made appliances and is an important employer in the Milwaukee area. 

Why Shop U-Line Appliances

The brand has long been synonymous with quality, durability, and exceptional customer service. Its 1 Class and 5 Class beverage centers are among the best in the industry, while the 3000 Series is among our top-selling undercounter refrigerators. 

U-Line Appliance Service and Support Is Top-Notch

U-Line appliance repairs are handled by local service partners like Max’s Service in Traverse City. Once your product is registered, you’ll be able to find a servicer in your area, receive troubleshooting support, and get friendly customer service from the manufacturer and your local repair contractor. 

U-Line appliance warranty is on par with today’s industry standards, including a one-year limited warranty and a two-year limited warranty on 5 Class products. Second and third-year warranties are also available on most residential products. 

Are GE Appliances As Good As U-Line?

U-Line is generally considered to be higher-end and more durable, but it’s tough to compare brands. 

  • U-Line specializes in a relatively small catalog of undercounter refrigerators and freezers. 
  • GE Appliances offers a full catalog of kitchen appliances, as well as washers and dryers. 

Trust your Max’s salesperson to help identify the best brand and model to meet your needs and your budget.
