The only possible reason for an Internet connected washing machine is to provide alerts when it is done or when it has failed.
Mine just beep loudly when that happens, no internet needed.
Yeah, it beeps loudly. Once.
I love the notification on my phone that the wash is done. If I had to leave the house while something was in the wash I can leave the notification until I get home. Even if I’m busy working and want to deal with it later it’s a great reminder. I was awful for leaving clothes in the wash for hours and sometimes overnight before I got a wifi connected washer and dryer.
If only there was a way for something on your phone to remind you of an event that you know the precise time off.
My friend, have you used a washing machine before?
Mine spends 30 mins on 10 mins left
