Checklist of Must-Have Appliances for First-Time Homeowners

You are about to move into your first home – finally. But before anything else, you have to check whether you have all the essential home appliances you need. It can be intimidating to list all the appliances a home should have. However, you don’t have to struggle, as this post will give you a hint of all the household appliances to start your life as a homeowner.

You can also find some semi-essential home appliances in this post. These appliances are perfect if you’re looking for a housewarming gift for a friend or a family. You might also need some tips on making the most out of your space, which helps when positioning your kitchen appliances, laundry appliances, and others.

Big appliances

cooktop•   Range/cooktop– Cooking appliances like cooktops and ranges are must-have items for first-time homeowners. However, if you prefer something sleek and minimalist, a cooktop fits the description well. A cooktop has a flat surface, and you can integrate them into countertops. Meanwhile, a range combines a stovetop and an oven.

•   Refrigerator-  You need a refrigerator unless you can survive on food take-outs or drink tap water. A refrigerator can help preserve food. It allows you to extend the freshness of vegetables, fruits, cold foodstuff, and more. You can choose from various refrigeration appliances depending on your space and needs. For small homes, small-sized fridges, dorm-style refrigerators, and drawer refrigerators are ideal. Bigger families, on the other hand, require large-capacity refrigerators.

Washer and dryer•   Washer and dryer– If you don’t have a washing machine yet, it is time to invest in one. Being a first-time homeowner, you have to have your washer and dryer. Unless you are planning to get it done at the laundromat forever. Having your washer and dryer at home can help you save time and money doing laundry. Meanwhile, some people prefer hand washing their clothes. However, it isn’t easy to handwash clothes, particularly when washing towels and beddings. That huge and heavy stuff needs to go in a washing machine.

•   Television- Television is not required but is a must-have appliance for your entertainment setup. The living room would feel empty without a TV, so consider buying one if it’s within the budget. Choose the size suitable for your space to avoid buying an unnecessarily large TV. For example, a 40-inch flat-screen TV is ideal if your chair is six feet away from the television. If your seat is 7.5 feet away from the TV, choose a 50-inch flat-screen instead. A 60-inch TV is a minimum for seats 9 feet away.

•   Lawnmower– You might not have considered buying a lawnmower before. However, you are a homeowner now, and it’s your responsibility to maintain your yard. Of course, you won’t need this appliance if you’re living in an apartment or condominium.

Smaller appliances

•   Rice cooker- If you’re not accustomed to cooking rice on a stovetop, a rice cooker can do the work for you. Rice cookers have different capacities. So, choose one that can make enough rice for your meal in one go.

•   Vacuum cleaner- You also need a vacuum cleaner, a handy cleaning tool that can remove dust, dirt, and debris from surfaces in the most convenient way. Consider buying a vacuum cleaner that could handle the flooring your home has.

•   Toaster and microwave- It would feel like something is missing without a toaster on your kitchen countertop. The same is true without a microwave. So, save some space for these small appliances or buy smaller versions if you live in a small home.

Coffeemaker•   Coffeemaker- Another essential kitchen countertop appliance is a coffee maker. It is a must-have, especially for coffee lovers.

•   Blender- You’ll also need a blender for your morning smoothies or evening margaritas. It’s also an appliance you’ll need for making milkshakes and baked goodies. If you often make sauces, soups, or juices, invest in a good-quality blender for your kitchen. A blender is not similar to a food processor, so don’t be confused.

Having your own home is exciting and intimidating at the same time. There’s so much to prepare and buy. Aside from that, moving into a new home involves a lot of work. Hopefully, this list helps you get the home appliances you need for your first ever abode.
