Hi Dave; The last couple times I speced dishwashers for off-grid clients, I ended up doing it right from EnergyGuide ratings. No longer have to order expensive stuff from Europe or Australia, some USA-made models are right in there.
Battery spark ignition propane ranges are still very limited -- Premier/Peerless is OK, so is Summit Appliance, but with Summit customer service and spare part availability are dismal. Unique OffGrid (Canada) looks really nice, but I'm waiting for someone else to try them before I recommend them. I may guinea pig myself on Unique. Everything else I've tried has been just plain awful....oven thermostats that need replacing every couple years, leaky valves, etc. They are cheap and intended for cheap apartment landlords who buy them 30 at a time. I require sealed burners, and a solid burner great is awesome. If your client doesn't need an oven, there are plenty of fancy expensive drop-in cooktops at the high-end foodie kitchen stores, but all the wall ovens I've found there have a glowbar. Finally, there's marine galley stoves and ovens. But very pricey, and tiny ovens. You're paying for gimballed mounts that you only need on a boat. Best of luck.....
