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.

For me it isn't about knowing when it's done, it's about it continuously annoying me if I still haven't flipped it an hour later
