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.

Yep. However, never will it be phrased like that. Not mandatory, some things just won’t work without it 🤷

Mafia talk.

Mmm. It’s going to be a bit of an uphill battle for manufacturers, though - not everyone has wifi signal in their laundry, that’s not a part of the house that you usually hang around in.
