RockBottomHomeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day
Who buys a washing machine with WiFi?
It can actually be a little hard to find models from major brands without wifi. That said, there is no reason that you have to give it access to your router. I worry that they’ll start saying that a wifi connection is mandatory at some point, though.
I bought a new washing machine a year ago, I really had no troubles to find a “dumb” one
Huh, what brand? Having a smart one didn’t bother me so long as it didn’t require a connection, so maybe I didn’t look THAT hard.
It’s a Bosch WAN282H3 I bought for 440€, it’s a really nice device so far.
Thanks! I’ve been frustrated by my LG and won’t buy one again. I’ve disassembled it twice to clean out mold. I think I’ll try Bosh next time. I love my Bosh dishwasher.
You are going to get mold in any washing machine especially if you leave the door closed.
We always leave the door open. The amount of mold has gotten awful at times and I even live in a pretty arid climate. I never had this issue with top loaders.
From what I’ve whitnessed, front loaders seem more susceptible to mold/ mildew growth than top loaders. How often do you use the tub clean function with washing machine cleaner? I know LG recommends every 30 washes.
I’ve gotten in the habit of wiping away the moisture on the door and gasket with my clothes after a wash cycle is complete.
