In the fifties and sixties it was not uncommon to import American machines in Europe. I remember neighbours having an American topload washer and other neighbours having an American GE dishwasher. When European appliance makers offered enough for Europeans to choose, importing American appliances stopped. IIRC Maytag had some 220V models that were sold in Europe. But that is quite a while ago. I guess with appliances becoming cheaper over the years, the cost of transportation are too high to make importing American machines interesting.
