Indians React to American Homes vs European Homes I 8 Differences I American Things You NEVER see 

France had oer 5k deaths during the 2023 heatwave. AC would have reduced the number of deaths

TVs are not very expensive in the US. That is why we have so many.

I live in a small town in Florida. Lots of ice is a must for a couple of reasons: 1) Summer is 11 months out of the year. 2) Fishing, boating, tailgating, etc. requires lots of ice for coolers. 3) Hurricanes. When the power goes out, all that ice keeps the freezer colder longer. A day before the storm, I will often empty a lot of items in the refrigerator/freezer cooking it all up. Then empty all my ice into bowls so the ice maker has room to make more ice. Power goes out, move the bowls of ice to the refrigerator. More cars than people does happen but generally because of work vehicles, car collectors/restorers, or the family will keep a "beater" which is a car that is old, but well maintained for emergencies or out of town guests to borrow. Multiple TV's happen usually for a few reasons: 1) new tv bought/ kept the old one. 2) keeps the peace because no one can agree on what to watch so go to another room to watch what you want. 3) Hobbies. I love to cook, so I have a tv in the kitchen because I spend so much time in there. TV in the bedroom. (old but kept it). TV in the garage because I tend to yell a lot when watching football and I am not allowed in the house when I watch the game. As for the rest of the video, most is really common as far as my experiences living throughout the South and East coast as far north as New York.

never enough ice. more ice, Ice ICE!! 6 TVs is a bit too much, I agree. they have more money than they know what to do with, so buy more TVs.

Regarding the ice. Her morher diesn't live alone. Damilies need a lot of ice. And if her husbands into fishing or other sports they have to fill up portable coolers too.

Mail boxes at the curb are usually only out in the country, not in town. My mailbox is affixed to my house, and I open the front door and there is my mail box right there; I don't even have to step my foot on the cement slab at my front door, or on the porch for those who have porches. There is a curved piece of metal that you can attach your outgoing mail to and the postman picks it up when he delivers mail to your mailbox. No going outside.

Tons of ice is great if you entertain a lot. My parents only have the ice maker in the freezer drawer, and we always forget until the last minute to send someone out to get ice for holidays like Thanksgiving when we have around 20 people there all day. My parents have 9 TVs in their house [garage and laundry room (both old small ones from bedrooms that we moved instead of throwing them away when they were replaced with flat screens), master bathroom (tiny one), den, 3 bedrooms, and 2 offices].

I am one person, but i have two (used) cars, because having a car is essential for many tasks like grocery shopping or transporting anything large or getting out of town to see nature. I have one very old utility vehicle, and a newer basic vehicle. But that way if one vehicle is in the shop, it doesn't impair my ability to funtion normally.

No, not all Americans have all the gadgets. There is a difference the rich and wealthy and hardworking Americans who like to live in a nice home. You don't have to be rich to have that home. However, in today's market, the value of that house has increased greatly.

The garbage disposal doesn't flush it, it grinds food into a little tiny pieces so it can go out the drain pipe. And while it's true some people have more cars than people, that is more of an exception than the rule Most homes have 1 car per driver, not person, (i.e. kids don't drive). Most of the people that have more than one, the second one is often a work vehicle.

Ice.... If you just put a couple of ice cubes in a warm drink the warm drink melts the ice and you have a watered down warm drink... You have to have a lot of ice to bring down the temperature of the warm drink.... Laws of physics... Surface area. Thermodynamics.

I like a TV in a nicely made, custom laundry room. When you are spending hours steaming, folding, ironing; having a show, movie, or RU-vid playing is nice.❤

It should be noted that this particular home has some of the latest and most high end appliances (especially that refrigerator and the garbage disposal), but this video generally documents common home features here in the US very well. And yes, outside of major cities the public transport in the US is not very good, and that's partially just from how things developed here in the US, especially with the advent of the Model T. Cars can make the distance negligible, but a 10-to-15 minute drive into town to could translate to anywhere between 6-7 miles / ~10 kilometers. Which is a considerably longer distance on foot! There are also some places where your nearest neighbor could be ten miles away, depending on how rural you're living. As a result, it's much more practical for all household members of driving age and ability to have their own vehicles.

Her mom is affluent. However, while I'd say 6 tvs and 2 icemakers and 4 cars is not typical for most 2 people households, you will normally find more tvs, cars, and ice in an American household than a French one, so it's not exactly a misrepresentation either. Also, I'd say having a garbage disposal is maybe 50% of households. Not uncommon, but not "absolutely everyone" either. I've never had one.

This neighborhood looks decidedly suburban. Suburbanites usually have to drive. If you are able, watch a tour of a brownstone or row house.

I'm in the US and we are like the opposite of this video. -have a front yard fence -Only 2 TVs -no ice maker (use a single ice tray) -1 car -Don't run the AC too much

But most houses have built-in air-conditioning units, better known as HVAC, which is also a part of the heating system. But some older houses and apartments you will find window air, conditioners or built in the wall air conditioners. It does get humid and hot there in the summer. sometimes it’s 100% humidity and it’s 100 degrees or (37.8C) which is hot but here in the upper Midwest it has had a feel like for a whole week of 110°F and it’s very not fun

The lower ice maker is great when you have a party. My son has it.. and comes in real handy. I wish my ice maker was bigger. We have TV in living room.. one in bedroom.. one outside on patio.. one in guest room. I don't think everyone has these things, but many do.

Almost everyone has more than one tv.

I have the same refrigerator shown in the video. You can control how much ice is generated.

The window screen have saved me so much time running around trying to kill all the bugs that gets in especially at night time. And never enough ice 😂 but that is a lot of Tvs

She is at her parents' house, and they seem to be very well off. Not every home has all these things. Not by far. 😊

fyi, most persons in the US don't have 6 TVs, but 2 or 3 are common.

In US an average person can afford these things because cars and electronics are comparatively very inexpensive

Not everyone has that many tv's ....i have a family of 5 and we 4 tv's. We do love our ice...it gets very very hot and humid in certain places of the USA... SO the ice and the Air Conditioner are a must...or you can just die of heat stroke if you choose 🤷🏻‍♀

Her parents seem like they are very wealthy. I've never met anyone who had two cars per person in the house. I have also never seen someone who had two ice makers. Also, garbage disposals are common, but I have only lived in one place that had one. So it's not like it's in every house. I've also never seen anyone with TVs in every single room. Most people have them in the living room, and then some people also have them in their bedrooms, but nobody has them in their kitchen

I only have one TV and it is never turned on. I'm American but I guess not very American.

Too many TV units that we no longer use as much, since, most of the time we use computer monitors and tablets to watch videos and other multimedia files. From more than 6 cars to less than three to cut back on expenses and labor. Heating and A/C is everywhere, but usage drops due to reducing cost and not being in the home for long periods. Sending mail is often based on the mailman you have. Kitchen sink design gets too diverse with waste disposal, filtered water, multi-sink options, and water stream settings that can have more than one water output. Fences are much rarer compared to more isolated or gated communities. Even with all the ice makers around, I still believe no one makes enough ice when special occasions call for a lot of ice.

Not everyone like's to watch the same show's so they go to their rooms and watch what they want to. and ice we like our glasses full of ice for ice tea we love cold tea and coke's cold juice just cold everything.their is big family's to so you need lot's of ice for everyone.

Almost every house in the US has ice maker some people have extra small ice makers on the counter

It's not flushing. The garbage disposal grinds ut away then flushes it dowm.

We have all those things except we only have 5 tvs in-house and I have one in my shop. We are also 2 people, but we have 11 cars. 4 of them are old, 60, and 70 muscle cars that we don't drive all the time and one I am currently restoring

I live in a two person household. We own only 2 cars. And, we have three tvs.

If it’s too much ice……melt it….can’t have too much water

We have 2 people,4 cars,2 utility trailers,and a motorhome....and that is only because we cut back.

Public transport is just not feasible as a country wide thing in the U.S. for many reasons.

Even the poorest Americans have multiple vehicles.

Not everyone has that beautiful lake outside in the yard. We do have a nice river and pool. Ice 100% agree 🧊

Don't know what she was talking about cars per person. I think that is specific to her house. I don't know a single person with more than one car.

Lots of ice is nice but I'm the only person who uses ice so I only have a couple of ice trays. It's just me and my dad so we only have 2 cars (one for each of us) and 2 TV's (one for each of us)

People i know who have more than one car per driver is because of the weather. In nicer.months a car that gets better gas mileage butight not be great in snow. And then a car that is great in snow but more costly to drive. Anither i know has a regular deiving car but then a pick-up for pulling her horse trailer.

Actually, that houses pretty common. When it comes to, too much ice, there was never too much ice. We use all our iced pretty much in the whole day. But the ice maker keeps making ice . Plus my refrigerator's front door has a screen so i can see what is in their by touching it .

Not every American has four vehicles and that many TV’s or even that big of house. This is an example of a upper mid income family home.

What you see is not rich this is normal typical middle class if you want it could be a little bit upper middle class but not middle class and I have all those things I have four TVs I don't have six

Also we will have a 'family car' for the whole family (usually 4-6 people) to go on road trips. 1 Car that would seat 4 comfortably, usually used to drive to work maybe errands, a TRUCK to pick up large items, including lumber etc... The disposal doesn't 'flush' so much as it grinds the food waste... "Everyone' is an exaggeration, but it's fairly accurate I'd guess for at least 50-60% of households. I'm in the center section of Ohio - Near Columbus. (Central Ohio) I have a TV in the Livingroom, bedroom, & kitchen. I'd LIKE one in the bathroom IF I had a tub instead of a shower... but just the shower, so no point.

We have only one TV and that’s because we don’t need our kids to be watching in their own rooms and being isolated from the rest of the family. Plus they may watch in the middle of the night when they should be sleeping-already an issue with phones and teenagers. As for air conditioning, it depends on where you live. Definitely in the Midwest and south it is needed in the summer. But if you live up in the north or in the mountains where the temps are cooler in the summer, no need. Recliners are pretty common and of course, I haven’t been in a house without screens. I am always shocked when I travel in Europe in the summer and see places without screens. It is really silly that Europeans don’t have screens to keep bugs out. Also, if your house is on a septic system and not town or city sewer, you shouldn’t have a garbage disposal. It isn’t good for the pipes and septic tank. People never put bones and fruit pits, etc. in a garbage disposal-it can damage it. I personally don’t like them and we have a large yard where we can compost our fruit and vegetable waste and put it on our gardens after it is composted. All that food waste going to landfills produces a lot of methane which is bad for the air.

The US has many brick homes. I live in a brick home and many of my friends do too.

3:03 It is not that public transport is bad in most US cities of any size.......it is that the judicial system does little to stop the violence and crime of some of the people in the US who frequent public transportation. Thus, if people can afford it, at all.....if they can find any way of affording it, they will jump at the chance to NOT make themselves a potential victim of violence and theft. People talk about the number of incarcerations in the US, but if you look at the violent crime that takes place as a part of daily life in many of these large, densely populated cities....they need to double the number of prisons. People should not have to fear daily about violent crime, and the govt should not allow it. If people cannot live in a civil society without committing violence or theft against innocent citizens, then they SHOULD be separated from that civil society. There are exactly zero valid excuses although....people who lived in secured, walled communities with security guards will argue that it is societies fault that these poor robbers, muggers, r@pists and violent attackers are forced by society into their actions and they vote for politicians and parties who support slapping the hands of the violent people who prey on innocent citizens. We could have a great public transport system that is used by most people in large cities.....but the politicians aren't doing their jobs to make the streets safe for innocent citizens.

That lady is pretty well off or in a lot of debt to have 4 cars.

Hi from Georgia,USA. Im single and I have 3 TV's 🖥

Southern europe doesn't have much but desperately needs air conditioning though.

We would use that ice in 2 days

that's incorrect. it's just as hot and muggy in europe during the summer as in the US except in britain and the nordic countries and even hotter and muggier in southern europe.

Hahaha, I never thought of the garbage disposal as a "flush". AC depends on location. I grew up in northern Minnesota, and AC was NOT common in households.

i will say many Americans do not have that big /nice of a home it depends on location and finances what you get here.

U need a lot of ice bc people have people over 4 a cookout or dinner.

So what, I have 7 tv's in my house 😁

po boxes a number of postal services like fedex do not deliver packages to them.

Hey react to the movie trailer (civil war) it comes out next friday .... I think u will enjoy its very crazy its about a civil war in usa now

No, that’s definitely a fairly wealthy person’s house. As someone who has lived in America my entire life any household I’ve lived in there was never more vehicles than people, never had a fridge with an ice maker, never had a garbage disposal, never had more than 3 TVs in my house no matter how many people lived there, and a lot of the gadgets she didn’t mention that I saw that I’ve never seen outside of movies and tv.

More money than sense.

Once again you're wrong about Americans Americans have cars because they like it and they can afford it things aren't as expensive in America as it is in India and so if you don't know something don't understand something about America and Americans don't guess or use your intellect just ask an American or Google it

Cars are required because US cities are more spread out than European cities

She’s gotta be out in the country. Probably in the south

This is not rich....do one on American mansions

That many TVs is not really that common. Almost all houses have them in the living room. And many houses also have TVs in the bedrooms, especially in kids' rooms. But TVs in the kitchen, the bathroom, the dining room, and other places are not really that common. Only people with too much money and who watch way to much TV might have TVs in rooms other than the living rooms and bedrooms. The 6 TVs in the house in this video is not typical. And multiple cars for one person is not overly common either - again, only with more moneyed people would that maybe be the case, or maybe with someone who is a car enthusiast. It is true that each person who is of legal driving age in a house often has their own car. So, if there's a family of four with two driving age teenagers, then the house would have 4 cars - 1 for each person. Occasionally a family might have an extra vehicle that is specialized in some way - like the father might have a pick-up truck in addition to his regular car. Or, the family in general might have a recreational or sporting vehicle of some kind for everyone's use.

Its Common for a couple to have a Work car they use to drive to work and a personal car for everyday use.

She's not talking about "typical" in America. Some homes have 9 people and ONE family car. Also, she explained mailboxes wrong...then I gave up watching. 😂

Here in US, if you go on vacation and want to hold mail from being delivered. You go online fill up your address and name and dates. The postal service will hold your mail and bring it back when you return. You can also tell the police to keep an eye on your home while you are away.😊😊😊😊

at the moment i don't have a car, but when i do i usually have two cars of the same color, make and model. that way i can switch parts or take the tags off of one and put it on the other. this way i always have at least one working vehicle no matter what.

Public transportation in US is good. I have personally expanded or started rail and transit in various US cities. US has world’s largest railway network

There’s 3 people that live in our home. We have 8 TVs on our home🫠🫠
