Britain, do you really want to compare appliances?
I could put most of your fridges in my fridge.
I could put the whole bayuex tapestry in my washing machine.
I don’t even know if y’all can fit scrooge’s Christmas bird in your ovens.
I’m kidding around but the one thing y’all definitely have is better kettles that’s for damn sure.
Are the things you listed supposed to be positives? It’s so weird to me that Americans like everything to be gigantic.
Yes, I’d like to be able to keep a longer run of groceries on hand. I’d like to be able.to wash curtains or duvets. I’d like to be able to easily cook the main course of a popular holiday.
I have a 20 minute drive to a grocery that has everything I need, so I want to do it less frequently. I use my duvet every night so it needs to be cleaned weekly.
Appliances are to do things. I want to do more things more easily.
Fridges store food. I don’t want my appetite to dictate the size of my fridge, but the freshness of vegetables and such.
Washing machines wash things. I want to be able to wash all the things I regularly use without any loss of performance.
You can’t tell me, that all things being equal, you’d prefer a smaller washer. Or that you want to think / guess about the available space in your fridge if you’re at the store and looking at a purchase at the grocery. “Hmm I want this for a meal, but I don’t think I have space for it” is not and ideal statement.

Americans need giant fridges because their city planners suck at their jobs.
That’s the problem - I only have to walk 5 minutes for my groceries. There’s really no need to stock up on anything.
Making better kettles is easier when your entire electric grid is optimised for it.
Seriously, 220 volts will just always get you a faster boil than 120. It’s physics.
We have 400V/16A, three phases, in kitchens for the proper stuff. That’s 19kW, if I remember correctly. Your strong power is like our standard power (240V/16A).
