Appliances Purchased

Ok! Back from a mini vacation in Wisconsin. We got most of our appliances and I would like to share what we went with. Keep in mind that we have not used them yet. I will write another report once we start using everything. We decided to go with stainless steel because of our toddler and pets. We are hoping they will last longer and clean easily.

Stove-

Summit TNM11027BFRWY

Brand: Summit

We found good reviews on this model. We decided to go with gas because we wanted to spread the resources. We want to be sure we have multiple options for heat and we don't want to put to much strain on the solar power. 

Furnace-

The Hobbit SE stove (DEFRA Approved)

This furnace was reasonably priced. See more details here.

We are excited about the wood burning stove vs propane because, as stated above, we want to balance our resources as much as possible so we don't depend on one resource more than others.  It is back ordered till October so if you think you may be interested it is best to purchase this first. 

Refrigerator-

Danby Energy Star 9.2 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator- Spotless Steel

We liked this fridge because it is relatively large and I do lots of cooking of fresh veggies and meat and I prepare meals on Sunday for the whole week. We also liked the freezer on the bottom which makes a big difference as far as efficiency. Not sure how it will do solar wise but hoping it is manageable.

Air Conditioner/Heater

KLIMAIRE KSIN009-H115 9000 BTU 15 SEER DUCTLESS MINI SPLIT DC INVERTER AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT PUMP WITH LCD REMOTE CONTROL, 3 FAN SPEEDS, AUTO RESTART AND ANTI COLD DRAFT IN WHITE

Our contractor recommended this one and we are excited to test it out. We are hoping with all the extra windows we won't need to use it much because it will take a lot of solar to run. 

Dishwasher- 

DWP61ESEdgeStar 6 Place Setting Countertop Dishwasher

We found good review on this. We are hoping to save water by using it. We are hoping to get it in the cabinet vs on the counter. 

Shower-

We haven't purchased this yet but we are probably going to get it. We of course would rather have a nicer shower but after looking critically at tiny house budget this is a great place to cut costs.

Washer/Dryer Combo-

We went with white here because it will be in the bathroom. This got good reviews. We are thinking we may line dry in the warmer months and use it as a washer only. If it does well with solar then we will use it more.
