    This nonsense keeps getting reposted, when it was discovered previously it was a router reporting error

    This particular homeowner is baffled that anyone would buy a washing machine that needs an internet connection. I’m all for smart appliances, but a smart washing machine is a solution in search of a problem.

      Idk, in my particular situation I would like a smart washing machine. I have a smart fridge, that is essentially useless, but a smart washing machine would tell me when my laundry was done so I can switch it into the dryer. That actually seems useful in my particular situation.

    This is an old article and iirc this was a reporting issue with their router. The wash machine was not using that much data.
