a laptop = household

a hot drinks dispenser = professional
an electric or electronic dispenser, meant for the sale or provision, via self-service, of primarily chilled and/or heated products, which operates by means of entering a coin, a bank note, a token, a card/key or in any other way
a photocopier 35 kg or less = household

a photocopier more than 35 kg = professional
