Reminds me of a large fridge in the Electrolux catalogue. I don't remember the exact wording, but it went something like:

"Please note that this product is designed for the North American market. It is therefore noisier and less energy efficient than other products" [Linked Image]

(I usually detest the bashing of American stuff, but if the manufacturer puts it in the catalogue...)
