    Washing machines are heavy. I recently had to take one apart and there were 2 concrete blocks in there, I assume to keep it stable while the motor flings your clothes around.

        Haha maybe not that heavy, it depends when you were seeing those ads and what inflation was like. I reckon in the 90s it would have had £-lb washing machine parity at some point.

            Oh yeah, so less inflation but a much more expensive appliance with less built-in obsolescence! I bet they were heavy AF back then.
