My small, or at least unremarkable, oven is 4.8kW, also 230V. It's from about 2006, iirc.

Electric tumble dryer is 5.6kW at 230V. It's from 2017. Maybe yours is gas, and 600W is the motor?

I have a smallish 1900sqft 1950s house with average or smaller appliances.

I love doing appliance comparison with European houses, though.

My dryer is 8 years old and similar to the second one -- half the power of yours, and I'm still not sure what the 24A from above would mean.
