5 Appliances for your Air BnB Unit
(Updated-April 24, 2020) In any interior design projects I have encountered, my clients would often discuss with me the appliances they wanted and what things I would recommend inside their unit, and time and time I have memorized the things I would often choose for a rental unit as and allowing them to decide which ones they would go for. Below are the basic appliances I often use for a rental property and it makes a lot of sense how these things make wonder for both me and my client.
Top 5 Appliances you should have in your Rental Unit
Television
I recommend you invest in a Smart TV about 43″ because it gives an illusion of wider space. Also if you have an internet connection, you might as well use this kind of perk. 32″ LED TV is applicable if you want to have a Pre-loaded Cable TV and no internet inside your rental. The purpose of having a TV is to let them enjoy small perks of entertainment.
Aircon.
The aircon will depend on your unit as provided by your developer. In most cases, there is a window type allocated by the developer. Use 1.5 HP Remote Control, Either you go for the Basic or Inverter, it matters on how long you plan to use it or the usage by your rental as it has different effects on your billing. For the basic aircon, it is good if this is used in less than 8 hours while Inverter Aircon mostly works after 8 hours continuously. In other words, you’ll benefit from the low cost of your invert after 8 hours of continuous use. The judgment is on you whether use the inverter or the Basic Aircondition. Just use the Remote type for convenience.
A 7 Cubic Meter Inverter is a recommended Refridgerator it’s about 1.2 -1.5m tall, just enough for your basic usage where you can maximize the use of the upper part as your storage. This type of Refridgerator is enough to store food for a short-term vacation and if it’s a month-long, it will still fit depending on the purchases. Inverter Type of Refirdgertor is very efficient in terms of electric usage since its 24/7 usage and avoids plugging and unplugging it for maintenance.
Range Hob
A Built-In Range Hob is economical, you can ensure that living in a small space can still be efficient and economical. The price is similar to a tempered glass dual plate induction. I recommend you to use a hot plate because it works with different types of cooking pans. Compared to induction, you have to choose a cooking pan that will work for induction, the same goes when you are using a stone pan or equivalent. If you want to keep your hob still useful in the long haul and to avoid a burnt cooking pan, you should be aware of the different types of pain that can be used for your cooking hob. If you are not that particular, they better save you the hassle by choosing a hot plate induction built-in hob.
A range hood is recommended when you buy a range hob, that’s because you have to filter out the air coming from your cooking, avoid the odor coming from the food, to avoid the smell inside your space and the hot temperature while you are cooking. I use this often especially when I cook on dishes that I am not familiar with and I end up burning the food, which will help to suck the burnt odor. Whether you are good at cooking you should have this, you don’t know who will be renting your space either.
Bonus:
Microwave
For people on the go who avoid cooking, I recommend you to have a microwave, but not just any microwave, use an oven-type microwave because it’s better when your food is being cooked. When I was working on a food chain, we were asked what type of microwave you should use and what is the difference between a microwave and an oven. None of us got the right answer. As I can recall, the Microwave when heating is heating the food from the outside while the oven is heating the food from the inside. The result is different because if you use the microwave that is where you’ll get food that is hard on the outside compared to the oven which still retains its texture and taste.
Electric Kettle.
Electric Kettle is a must for those who love coffee, hot milk, or tea. This is no question on why you should have an electric kettle, never mind the coffee machine because if it’s not for the rental you can have it, and if you are in the luxury rental, why not?
Before you purchase appliances, please ask for construction guidelines and read them well so you can identify which are their recommended specifications for your unit, especially on the electrical usage (wattage and volts).
