In the US the tumble dryer requires a 30 amp service at 240vac, washing machine requires a 20 amp 120vac isolated circuit. I don’t know how y’all do it or the current on the dryers and washing machine in the UK
I think your appliances are a bit bigger than ours, if I understand it correctly you normally have them somewhere other than a kitchen?
Our standard washing machines or dryers are often in the kitchen and designed to fit into a standardised kitchen unit size. Usually this is a 600mm(~2') wide space. Consequently they require less power to operate as they wash or dry smaller amounts of clothes each time.
