I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it’s a deep freezer that is only opened occasionally, and I guess is pretty well sealed as long as it’s closed.
The kitchen appears to have one of those built-in fridges that matches the cabinets:

I think that might be one of those fancy steam appliances to steam/press clothes, especially with it being next to the washing machine. I’ve seen them around Costco.
Couldn’t it also be a drying cabinet?
Pretty sure this is one of those fancy dry cleaning/steam cabinet things.
Sorry everyone but you’re all missing the obvious. You see that APPARENTLY there’s no WC in the bathroom? Well there you go. When you’re done, close the door, and it’s nicely mimetized as a drying cabinet 😎
Sure storing food there would be…problematic.
But you don’t find the prospect of a cold beer within reach while having a shower or taking a shit appealing?
Problematic for me, man.
Suddenly every shit is a beershit.
If there is not enough space in the rest of the house and this is the only place where it fits, well, that’s it then.
I would do about everything to avoid that, primarily because of the hygienic aspects but also because of the above average air humidity in a bathroom.
Showerbeers
I like the way you think, also, that thing is enough for the whole family to have showerbeers, or they live really remote and need 3 months supplies.
The height of that shower head hurts my soul.
He’s a pretty tall dude
That’s a sperm bank. Where else would you beat one off, in the kitchen? 😂
Is this that much weirder than the widespread British practice of putting washing machines in kitchens?
Yes, putting an electrical appliance in the bathroom is weirder than putting an appliance that requires both power and plumbing in the room that always has both power and plumbing.
We have to. Have you seen the size of flats over here?
Kinda have to, if the building is older than widespread home washing machines.
The houses I grew up in were both Victorian so bathrooms were built in only the 80’s or sometime like that, so they were on the ground floor and quite large. Both had the washing machines in the bathroom and not the kitchen due to this. The bathroom acts as part utility room.
More modern places I’ve lived lack any form of utility rooms. In my current flat the washing machine is in the kitchen, there isn’t plumbing and space anywhere else for it.
Where else would you put it? Might as well just place it next to all the other appliances. We do it in Germany too, pretty sure it’s just a European thing.
My family/me (in and around berlin):
Me: WM in the kitchen
Parents: WM in the bathroom
Brother: WM in a little nook on the corridor(? Flurnische)
Another Brother: WM in the basement (benefits of a house)
I think in the US we typically prefer for them to be out of sight. Houses here often have a small laundry room specifically for the washer and dryer. Barring that, they are usually tucked away in a closet (apartments or smaller houses) or in the garage or basement.
I wonder if this is one of those things the US benefits from having most of our homes built after indoor plumbing. A not insignificant portion of European homes were built before prolific indoor plumbing, no? So when homes were retrofitted for plumbing, it made sense it keep it all located in one place and then it became the style for all homes.
