A deeper tub makes sense for being able to sit and soak, rather than recline and soak. Might even use less water that way.
One can get tubs in the US that are almost as big as "hot tubs" and probably use a hundred gallons each time. IMHO decadent and wasteful as hell unless two people bathe at the same time and then wash their dogs in the same water. (Oh my, in some parts of the world that would be blasphemous in all kinds of ways!)
The Panasonic FLs you have there are an older version; the new one comes in colors (I think including light purple if I recall correctly) and has a slightly more rounded shape at the edges. Looks like the one you have there is a washer/dryer with a 6 kilo wash capacity and 3 kilo drying capacity (as per the usual practice where these combined units only dry half as much as they wash).
Interesting that they also make (or used to?) countertop dishwashers. Putting it on a rolling cart is a nice idea to save counter space, though I'd hate to see what happens to that in an earthquake (as in, tipping over due to high center of gravity). I'll be getting one of those Danby countertop units in a week or so, will probably have to put it on a cart one way or another (all 76 lbs.!).
