Compact dishwasher

You may know dishwashers to be quite significant and take a lot of space. However, dishwashers aren't always large space-consuming appliances built into your kitchen. Much like refrigerators, there are compact dishwashers that will be perfect for your small home and still be as efficient as the regular-sized dishwashers. These small or compact dishwashers can be 18" or 22" wide, and some can even be used on countertops. The most notable downside to using compact dishwashers is that they are often noisier than the regular-sized dishwasher. But it can be totally worth it because they save space. They are also easy to install and use. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient compact dishwasher that will save you a lot of space, you should consider; SPT 18 Inch Dishwasher.

Compact washer and dryer

When you have a small space, you should consider only highly essential appliances. A washer and dryer will certainly be on the list of important appliances in any small home. When planning your small home design, you should definitely go for a compact washer and dryer. We'd recommend even an All-in-One washer and dryer! They are very efficient and will certainly make your life a lot easier. Combo washers and dryers are also space-saving, often only 24 inches wide. Plus, we'd recommend getting a ventless version! This will help with placement of when you can put your unit, and you won't have to worry about venting, which can be a big pain in a small space. When looking for a good washer and dryer combo unit that is ventless, you should definitely check out;

It's only 24 inches wide, saving you three inches of clearance versus the standard 27-inch washers and dryers.

Be aware though, most of the cheaper washer / dryer combo units will not fully dry your clothes. We'd recommend either being prepared to hang dry your clothes to fully dry them, or go with a better quality combo unit.

Handheld vacuum cleaners

Living in a small space, it's important to keep your home extra clean. So, when it comes to keeping your home dust-free while saving space, you simply can't go wrong with handheld vacuum cleaners. Just like regular vacuum cleaners, handheld vacuum cleaners are very efficient. They can be used for a variety of surfaces. In addition, they are light, which is just what you need for quick clean-ups, and they can be stored just about anywhere. They can also reach places a regular vacuum cleaner could never do. A good Handheld vacuum you should check out is;

Top things to consider when picking a small appliance for your home

Size of your home

The first thing to consider when buying a small appliance for your home is, of course, "Just how small is your home?" Just because you hear the word compact doesn't mean you can get the appliance. Compact appliances, although small, still come in different sizes. And for some, a compact device may just be what they need, and for others, even specific compact sizes may be too large for your home or the specific space you have, so don't just buy any small device. Always be sure to measure the space of where the appliance will go and pick a compact appliance just the right size. Again, we can't stress enough the importance of planning your tiny home.

As they say, planning makes perfect!

The pricing

When buying just about anything, you need to have a budget. The fact that these appliances are small in size doesn't mean they have a small price tag. Some compact machines are more expensive than the regular-sized model, due to the supply and demand issues, while others are not. So before you go out to buy an appliance for your small home, first look up the prices and create a budget for yourself. Don't, of course, settle for just any appliance because it's cheap. You need to also consider the efficiency and quality because you don't just want a space-saving device, but something that does as good a job as the regular-sized models.

Pay close attention to ratings and reviews. We've found most compact appliances don't actually work as well, and reviews definitely show it.

The energy efficiency

Your home appliances will use up a significant amount of energy in the house, and the types you choose will determine just how much. Although it is easy to believe the smaller the size of the appliance, the smaller the amount of energy used, that is really not the case. Small-sized devices can use up just as much energy as regular-sized models. So always try to find out the energy efficiency of an appliance before you buy. Most energy-efficient appliances can be costly but are a good investment and will undoubtedly save you a lot of money in the long run.
