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.

Precise? That's...not the word I'd use. My washing machines concept of time is vague at best and actively working against reality at worst.

My friend, have you used a washing machine before?

Mine spends 30 mins on 10 mins left

Meanwhile I set my dryer for 45m and it's "done" in 20. So it takes a few tries before anything is actually dry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mine was doing that. Turned out my dryer vent was installed badly by the previous owner. Was made of flexible hose instead of rigid and was too narrow in some spots. Built it right and the dryer doesn't need multiple runs anymore.

Huh, interesting. I'll look into that, thanks!
