Oven
Most tiny homes skip the full-size oven and use a compact benchtop or a multi-function combo that does several jobs in one. It saves space, weight and power. Pricing is shown per country; regions marked "being researched" are coming soon.
Oven options
Compact / Benchtop Oven (20–30L)
A mini version of a full oven that sits on the bench and plugs in. Bakes, roasts, grills and toasts — the tiny-home sweet spot for one or two people.
Advantages
- Cheap and no install — just plug in
- Frees up cabinetry space
- Bakes/roasts/grills
- Lower power draw than a full oven
Disadvantages
- Small capacity (dinner for two at most)
- Takes bench space when in use
- Not for big-batch cooking

Advantages
- Microwave + oven in one unit
- Saves a whole appliance worth of space
- Preheats fast
- Cheap to run for small meals
Disadvantages
- Often max ~200°C
- Can be bulky at the back
- Learning curve for combo modes

Advantages
- Crisps with little oil
- Many functions in one box
- No install
- Great for one or two people
Disadvantages
- Bench space when in use
- Capacity limited
- Quality varies a lot by brand

Full-Size Built-In Oven
A standard wall/under-bench oven. Best capacity and baking performance, but big, heavy and a serious power draw — a stretch in a small off-grid home.
Advantages
- Full capacity — roast a whole chicken
- Best baking results
- Familiar to use
Disadvantages
- Big and heavy (weight on a THOW)
- High power draw — tough off-grid
- Eats cabinetry space
- Costlier + install
