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.
This was 1978, back in the days when many people in the UK would rent appliances!
Oh yeah, so less inflation but a much more expensive appliance with less built-in obsolescence! I bet they were heavy AF back then.
