Transformed Motorhome Kitchens with These 6 Energy-Efficient Appliances
In the world of motorhomes and caravans, finding the right appliances that are compact, energy-efficient, and user-friendly is essential. Here's a roundup of some top picks for your next adventure.
**Low Wattage Air Fryers**
For strict low wattage (around 1000 watts) suitable for campervans, the **Dash Compact Air Fryer** stands out as the best balance of size, power consumption, and basic usability. It fits well for one or two people and is portable with a small footprint. Larger capacity models like MaseiKar or Ninja offer more features but consume more power (1500W), which might not be ideal without robust electrical setups in campervans.
The Dash Compact Air Fryer boasts basic analog dials, automatic shut-off, and a cool outer housing, making it a practical choice for tight campervan spaces. However, it may cook unevenly sometimes due to its lack of presets.
On the other hand, the **MaseiKar 6.2 QT Air Fryer** provides a larger capacity but with a higher wattage of 1500W. This model offers 10 preset programs, an LED touchscreen, a viewing window, and a non-stick basket. It's versatile and large capacity, but the higher power consumption may be less ideal in campervans without sufficient electrical capacity or generator support.
The **Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer** (similar to the Ninja Combi Multicooker) is another option with a multi-function design, including roasting and slow cooking. However, its typically around 1500 watts may not be suitable for campervan use with limited power supply.
**Soup and Smoothie Makers**
For family meals or batch cooking, consider the soup and smoothie maker with a 1.2L double-walled stainless steel jug. Models like the Tefal Easy Soup and Smoothie Maker come with built-in keep-warm and self-clean functions, making them convenient for long journeys.
Current deals include the Tefal Easy Soup and Smoothie Maker, now on sale for £47.49, a savings of 63%.
**Toasters**
A compact toaster is essential for quick breakfasts on the go. The Tefal Soleil 2-Slice Toaster is currently on sale for £19.99, a savings of 43%. Its high-lift lever helps safely remove smaller slices, and the removable crumb tray makes cleanup quick.
**Coffee Makers**
Start your day with a fresh cup of coffee in 3-4 minutes using a coffee maker like the Salter One Cup Coffee Maker. Now on sale for £21.49, a savings of 23%, this coffee maker comes with a 420ml stainless steel travel mug and a reusable filter that's easy to clean and eco-friendly.
**Heaters**
Stay warm in your van with a portable heater like the Spear & Jackson 38355 Ceramic PTC Heater, currently on sale for £18.99, a savings of 27%. The heater features a fast, energy-efficient PTC heating element and safety features such as overheat protection and a tip-over switch.
**Slow Cookers**
The Crockpot Lift and Serve Digital Slow Cooker is currently on sale for £44.99, a savings of 35%. This slow cooker features a 4.7L oven-safe ceramic bowl, a digital timer, auto keep-warm function, three heat settings, and dishwasher-safe parts. Its hinged lid makes stirring and serving easy with less mess.
