| Heads up, folks; we at Oasis Montana
anticipate that the coming onslaught of import tariffs
will raise the cost of most, if not all, solar
components, and also anything that involves steel,
aluminum, chips and other electronics. So, likely
starting early next year, the cost of most solar-related
components (and the appliances we offer) will increase
in price…just another fact of our current existence. Be
prepared. |

| Due to the effects of climate
change, the growing number of severe wind storms and floods have
increased many people’s desire to have battery back-up for critical
loads. Such a back-up system becomes much more affordable if your
electrical loads are minimal. THAT is why we offer efficient
appliances; the cheapest power is that which you do not use. Our
latest find is a full size (21 cu.ft.) upright freezer; the UF22W
uses an average of 1500 watt-hours per day, and is $1599 before
shipping costs. It can easily be configured as a refrigerator or
freezer; frost-free, with adjustable shelves that can be arranged as
needed to accommodate any size items. 100% CFC free; exterior finish
is textured white. It can be used as a freezer in temps as high as
110ºF (note: the refrigerator function will only stay in range when
the temperature is above 38ºF). This offers a one year parts &
service warranty, and a five year warranty on the compressor.
Dimensions are 33”W x 30”D x 77”H; width with door open,
33.75”. Let us know if you need more information on this excellent
efficient appliance! |
Gas Range for Off-Grid Use
Most of our off-grid customers utilize
propane for heating loads; here’s a 24” wide battery ignition LP
range, model #WLM610P. A simple 9V battery operates the DC
electronic ignition, and this model comes pre-set for LP use. Cost
is $910 before freight. The white-only design offers four 9000BTU
burners, and broiler compartment for separate broiling with even
heat distribution. Push-to-turn knobs offer easier and safer access;
oven has two wire racks. Dimensions: 24”W x 40”H x 24”D; oven
dimensions 14”H x 19”W x 19”D (2.92 cu.ft. capacity).
 
Made in the USA of porcelain and steel construct.

QUOTABLE QUOTES
The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity and arrogance they
have. All these fools, however, find other fools to applaud them.

atrocities. – Voltaire
In a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in
politics, “holds office”; every one of us in in a position of

we get depends on how we fulfill those responsibilities. – John F.
Kennedy
When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. –
Franklin D. Roosevelt
