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.

    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?

      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.

      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.
