The Smart Buyer’s Guide for Condos, Apartments, and Tight Corners

Living in a condo, apartment, or any compact space doesn’t mean you have to settle for small performance.
But it does mean you have to shop smarter.

At Emcor, we help space-savvy Filipinos find appliances that maximize comfort without crowding their home. Here’s how you can do the same—without sacrificing power, features, or style.

Step 1: Measure Everything (Not Just Floor Space)

Before you add anything to cart, measure:

  • 🔹 Floor area for the appliance
  • 🔹 Height clearance (especially under cabinets)
  • 🔹 Entryways, stairwells, and door frames (for delivery!)

💡 Pro Tip: Leave at least 2–4 inches of breathing room for ventilation around aircons, fridges, and ovens.

Step 2: Pick Appliances That Punch Above Their Size

Here are our Emcor-approved picks for small spaces:

Appliance Ideal For Smart Space-Saving Pick
Aircon Condo bedrooms, studios ✔ Portable or 0.5–1.0HP inverter models
Refrigerator Solo living, small families ✔ Slim single-door or bottom-freezer models
Washing Machine Apartments, laundry corners ✔ Top-load compact or front-load slim models
TV Condos, bedrooms ✔ 32″–43″ Smart TVs, wall-mounted options
Microwave/Oven Tight kitchen counters ✔ 20L–30L digital compact models

All available with installment plans + nationwide delivery at Emcor.

Step 3: Go Multi-Function Where Possible

Look for appliances that do more with less:

  • 🌀 Washer with air-dry = no need for drying racks
  • 🔌 Microwave + convection oven = one appliance, multiple uses
  • 📺 Smart TV = built-in Netflix & YouTube, no need for extra boxes
  • ❄️ Aircon + dehumidifier + purifier combo = 3-in-1 cooling

One unit. Less clutter. More power.

Step 4: Wall Mount It or Tuck It Smartly

  • 📺 Wall-mounted TVs = floor space saved
  • 🧺 Stackable washers = better laundry zone
  • 🧊 Slim fridge next to pantry = clean kitchen layout
  • 🪟 Portable aircon = movable cooling without installation

💡 Emcor offers installation services in select areas—ask us how to maximize layout when you buy.

Final Tip: Function > Size

Don’t just choose the smallest appliance—choose the one that offers the best function for your lifestyle.
