Another round of "what is this?", fancy house edition

In playing Real Estate Scavenger Hunt, we've come across yet another item we have no clue about. There are more in the butler's pantry. Any ideas?
I'm betting the stacked ones are drawer dishwashers.
Heck, the vertical one also looks like a dishwasher.
Rich people love dishwashers.

I think they're all refrigerators, given the vent at the bottom. Probably set to different temperatures.

On the left side of the main kitchen is a "proper" AGA stove, with the rounded doors on the front. These mystery AGA appliances in the foreground appear to be AGA dishwasher drawers and maybe a trash compactor, but I can't find them sold anywhere that look like that. -- on preview, others got it!!

Yeah, the Aga is the giveaway. Aga stoves were in vogue a few years ago.
You owe us all money for assaulting our eyes with this monstrosity of a house, btw.

Best answer: This Aga Undercounter PDF brochure reveals all.
Refrigerated drawers on the left (with the horizontal handles), ice maker on the right (vertical handle with vents at the bottom).

The butler's pantry also has the undercounter refrigerator, and what seems to be a dishwasher.

Recreational defenestration. Alternatively, bravura opera practice.

Double Drawer Refrigerator. Couldn't find it in the same color but it looks like this model. They don't appear to make them anymore.

Yeah, apparently drawer fridges (& camouflaging full-size fridges as cabinets) are trendy: In the Kitchens of the Rich, Things Are Not as They Seem (NYT via archive.org, August 2021)

Fun story, my uncle has a rich people house, not nearly on this level but he's still got plenty of dumb stuff.
In his inside kitchen, he's got a trash can in a drawer right next to his sink (well, one of the sinks, lol). In his outside kitchen, he's got an ice maker in a drawer right next to his sink. He entertains a lot, hence the assumed need for all these kitchens and sinks.
Of course what this means in practice is that people who come to his house and aren't familiar with his house hear both "trash is next to the sink" and "ice is next to the sink" and end up expectantly bending over a trash can with a fresh glass, or worse, tossing garbage in the ice.
✨💸 just rich people problems 💰✨
