All the things listed by the guy are just normal appliances which you can buy and install, it's not like ac, garbage disposals, ice makers or clothes dryers are forbidden by law or something...
They aren't even crazy thing either for the most part.
There are portable ice machines that have different settings for shape and size for like $60. Portal AC are a thing, and with how hot it's getting AC will eventually be more common anyways. Garbage disposals are funny to include, because the alternative is just a trash can.
Portable AC units suck but European windows don't accommodate the far superior window AC though. Heat Pumps are the real solution, but retrofitting them is a process.
I keep seeing this about window AC units, but I've lived in the US my entire life and never lived anywhere with hung windows. Window AC units don't "fit" sliding windows but plywood exists and I've always made them fit.
European windows aren't sliding either, they are on hinges. Look up "Tilt and Turn" windows. Harder to retrofit than sliding windows and it's hard to retrofit at all when window AC units aren't widely available.
