    You know where you notice this? As an American buying appliances in Europe. You can buy a front loading washing machine for 300€, including VAT. A refrigerator? 400€. Three years ago I paid 1800 for a fridge in the us, and last year bought a scratch and dent special washing machine for $600

    Edit: and US prices are not including Tax.
