Apart from the prices -isn't it simply amazing how the prices of microwaves, DVD players, and the like have dropped- on this side of the pond, most of our appliances are quite a bit larger than those pictured in the ads.
As an example, one ad shoes a "large" refrigerator that looks to be only slightly larger than the hand-cart that delivered it. Contrast this to what folks here are buying...400 Kg behemoths that have two doors, a freezer drawer big enough to wash the dog in, 1 meter wide, two meters tall, and 80 cm deep.
Likewise, the typical clothes washer looks to be about double the capacity of those shown.
The cooker shown is about 2/3 the size of our "usual". I have one that size- and had the devils' own time finding it!
