For the smallest of countertops, this gas cooktop is a great option. It features an electric ignition and an off-the-grid feature that allows the two burners to be lit by a match in case of a power outage. The top burner has a max power of 8400 BTU, while the bottom burner has 5800 BTU. The stainless steel surface, with heavy cast iron pot stands, is durable and stylish.

“I’m highly satisfied with this product!” says one Amazon reviewer. “Very good contemporary look. Adapted it to a studio conversion and it looks phenomenal and highly attractive and it’s built with great quality.”

This compact, 3.1 cu. ft. appliance is one of the best fridge/freezers for areas like dorm rooms where space is a major issue.

The freezer and refrigerator are separated, which is better than having one door and a small freezer area within the fridge. Plus, the freezer is “true zero-degree” for maximum freezing capability. The fridge features an adjustable thermostat which allows you to set the ideal temperature between 34 and 60 F. The doors are reversible and there is an interior light.

“Looks great, works great, very quiet, keeps ice cream frozen and makes excellent ice,” says one Amazon reviewer. “It does all of this and uses practically no electricity. I couldn’t be happier with this fridge.”
