- Today we're gonna be looking at five
tiny manufactured homes on Amazon.
And as a bonus we're
gonna be taking a look
at this one right here.
So get your Internet ready
'cause it's time to do
a little Prime shopping.
Let's get started.
(soft electronic music)
Before we jump online,
did you know that tiny houses
started in the mid '80s,
but they really didn't grow in popularity
until the millennium,
and of course, then it
became quite a craze.
But most of the reason
that most people like
tiny homes is because of the price.
Just like this one on Amazon.
Okay, so this is going
to be one of our tiniest
tiny homes that we look at.
It's called the Allwood Escape Cabin
and it's $5,350 of course
with the free shipping.
And it's only 113 square feet.
Remember, these do not have installation.
And the weight of this
cabin is 2,300 pounds.
Let's take a look on the inside
which is adorable
'cause I love this natural wood look.
They have some really nice
pictures of the inside
that are provided by other people
that have gotten them off of Airbnb.
But it is a very, very tiny cabin.
I can't imagine spending
a long period of time
living in one of these.
I know lots of people do it,
but not as many as people
probably really think.
Here's a full floor
plan that they give you
of this particular tiny home.
So, the next tiny home we're looking at
is probably the most modern
looking of all of them
that we're gonna be looking at today.
This one they're calling
a Studio Garden House.
So let's take a look at it.
It's $9,990 and of course
it has the free shipping.
The description of this
particular home says,
it's an ideal home office,
it's a contemporary urban styling.
Large windows allow
abundance of natural light,
suitable for environments
where the classic cabin
style does not fit.
It has two ratings,
so let's go ahead and click on those.
It said it was a great value.
"I would definitely change
things up a bit for bath and
"small kitchen for guests
and possibly stretch ceiling
"to eight feet."
Oops, this one's a bad review.
"I sold my 300K house just
to try out something new
"and this wasn't worth it.
"Now I need to buy my own house."
Why would you sell a $300,000
house to live in a tiny house
that doesn't have installation?
That wasn't proper prior planning.
And it's literally 200 square feet.
Who helped them to make the decision?
Okay, anyways,
let's move one.
(laughs)
Alright, here's an interesting question
that somebody asked,
"Are they hurricane proof?"
Meaning, are the kits hurricane proof.
I don't even know of a house
that is hurricane proof,
but here's how they answered it.
"While these structures are
resistant to wind speeds,
"technically they do not meet
the latest coastal Florida
"wind and hurricane codes."
So, that's something to know if you live
on the Florida coastline,
that it does not meet the hurricane codes.
The roof pitch is two degrees
and it supposedly is easy to assemble.
And if you're anything like me
and if you've ever been in IKEA,
nothing is easy to assemble.
(laughs)
Another main reason why
people decide on tiny homes
is they want to downsize their stuff.
- That's all your house is,
your house is just a place for your stuff.
If you didn't have so much goddamn stuff,
you wouldn't need a house.
(audience laughing)
you could just walk around all the time.
That's all your house is
is a pile of stuff with a cover on it.
It seems that we all have a
a little bit too much stuff.
So maybe this tiny home on
Amazon might work for you
and less stuff.
Okay, the next one we're
gonna be looking at
is one that is under
40,000 but it doesn't have
the free shipping.
But it's still on Amazon.
It's called the Jackson Tiny Home.
This house is a four bedroom tiny home.
So it's 275 square feet
with a 119 square feet
for the front porch.
The weight of it is 6,693 pounds,
and that makes the shipping
cost for this $3,350
which is pretty high.
But of course that keeps
it under the $40,000,
but if you're expecting a free shipping,
not on this one.
But I wanted to show it,
because it was super cute.
Let me show you the
floor plan really quick.
But it does have four full rooms
and I did like the fact
that it had a little porch.
That would be really cute for someone
that's looking for that
tiny home life style.
This is the loft,
this is where people sleep.
Did you know that there's
estimated 10,000 tiny homes
throughout the United States.
I thought that the number
was going to be higher.
But year after year there's
about 700 tiny homes
that are built by commercial builders.
And there's another 700 that
are built by private residents
that are trying to build them themselves.
I thought it was an interesting fact.
If you're thinking about
building one yourself
you might be interested
in this one on Amazon.
This is how much room it gives me.
Next tiny manufactured home
we're gonna be looking at
on Amazon is a a little bit
pricier than the couple of
the other ones that we've looked at.
It's called the Allwood Avalon Cabin Kit
and it's 540 square feet.
It does have four ratings,
which gives it a four and a half stars.
It doesn't have a floor plan here,
it does seems that you
could live in this space
a lot easier than you can
in some of these smaller
tiny homes that we looked at.
Here's a full blueprint of the house,
it does look really nice and big.
Each of the bedrooms looks like it has
about 120 square feet.
The living square footage
in the living room area
is about 215 square feet.
The kitchen is about 45 square feet.
The bathroom's 40 square feet.
And then the front porch
they're giving you about
176 square feet.
This home does have a loft to it.
They say you can put two beds in there,
but I don't know about you,
I hope you don't wanna be
around people that snore.
'Cause I certainly don't
and I can't imagine sharing a room,
a tiny room with another two people.
Unless it's my kids,
I can handle that.
When they snore, they're cute.
It's nice that they
provide some extra pictures
that are not just cartoon pictures,
drawing pictures.
And it is adorable.
I love the high ceilings on this.
This is something I could live in
for a long period of time.
I don't know if I could
live my whole entire life
in one of those things,
but definitely this feels
much more like a home
than a cramped space that you can only
spend a few hours in.
I think I'm just too claustrophobic.
But that bathroom's adorable.
Please note, 'cause I've
read some of these questions,
the shower and the plumbing,
and the electrical doesn't
come with this house.
But it does come with free shipping.
Still all these houses
come with the free shipping
except for a couple.
So, that the Allwood Avalon Cabin Kit,
540 square feet.
You know, I'm thinking
this particular tiny home
would make a perfect
YouTube studio for myself.
I bet you're wondering how
much this particular one is.
We're gonna find out in just a little bit,
'cause we have two more tiny
homes from Amazon to look at.
Like this one.
Alright, the next one
we're gonna be looking at
is the Allwood Timberline.
This house is 483 square feet
and it's considered a cabin kit.
It's $34,900 but it does
include the free shipping.
I know I keep telling you that,
but it is something to know.
The inside floor area is 354 square feet,
a loft is 129 square feet.
It does have a snow load capacity
which is something we
don't have to worry about
here in Louisiana,
but if you are worried about it,
it says 40 pounds.
The wind load capacity is
up to 120 miles per hour,
and you can add factory
protection against termites,
which is something that
we have a major problem
here in Louisiana.
They say there're two types
of homes in Louisiana,
ones that have termites
and ones that are gonna get them.
That's what downstairs would look like
and this is what the
upstairs with a loft in it
looks like you can fit
two regular twin beds.
Here's a full blueprint.
This is the part I found
really interesting.
"This model comes with
steel storm rods for
"all four corners.
"The rods hold planks of
each wall tightly together.
"This can also be anchored to the ground."
So, that's really good for
people that are thinking about
definitely keeping these intact.
All of these tiny homes
that we're looking at today
are not ones that can
be rolled down the road.
They are ones that
intended to stay in place.
Ooh, one of the other
main reasons why people
decide to live in a tiny home
is because they're wanting to leave
a smaller carbon footprint.
And they're wanting to live off the grid.
So let's go take a look
at this particular house
on Amazon and see if we can put
some solar panels on the roof.
So I think this particular
tiny home will be perfect
because of the slope of the roof
and it'll be perfect for solar panels.
This house is listed,
not even listed...
See, I'm talking like a real estate agent.
This house is for sale,
not even for sale.
This is how much it costs, $19,990
and it's 259 square feet.
It's called the Allwood Ranger Cabin Kit.
And the main area is
259 square feet.
It's milled from slow grown Nordic spruce.
The roof area is 451
square feet and it says,
oh look, it even says,
ideal for solar panels.
Just like I thought.
And it says that they're
gonna need about 45 days.
So I want you to look
at the amount of time
that it takes them to ship it.
So if we were to order this today,
according to Amazon it would come in
on January 13the through the 29th.
So, you probably have like two months
so if you decided to do this now
it's gonna be a project for the future,
don't expect it to show
up at your door next day,
like most Amazon orders do.
This one takes a little extra time.
This part cracks me up.
They have this little rendering here,
and I wanna know where they found
this weird looking family.
Like the woman looks like
she's wearing a slip,
the woman they drew on there.
This is the weirdest
rendering I've ever seen.
So this is inside floor
plan of the Allwood Ranger,
it's 259 square feet on one side,
the loft is 168 square feet.
So that gives enough space to put in a,
maybe even, a double bed,
if it's pretty tight.
This model does have
that tongue and groove
with the steel rods that
gives it that extra security
to hold into the ground.
These are all the things that
it comes with in assembly,
I hope it comes with really
awesome instructions.
And again it has these
pictures that show you
how you can go ahead and
have the hose plumbed.
Okay, so that's the Allwood Ranger Cabin
that's 255 square feet on Amazon.
It's also perfect for solar panels
and you can have it
delivered to your house
in about a couple of months
for you to put together
by yourself.
Remember, it doesn't come assembled.
Okay, so that's all five
tiny manufactured homes
that you can get from Amazon
for less than $50,000.
But now that you've waited all this time
you're probably wondering
how much this one is.
If you remember a while back I did a video
about the five myths
about manufactured homes
and we met with Gary Millet.
Well, he went ahead and let me show you
this particular tiny home
and it is $39,900,
that's with setup and air conditioning.
So sometimes Amazon doesn't
have the best deals.
My name is Kristina Smallhorn,

and I tell you all this
because you matter.
