My washing machine doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
It's a feature that I would regret.
I just need a way to wash my pants.
Not show them to the Internet.

My oven doesn't need Wi-Fi.
I'd value that least of all.
It's already shielded from getting too hot.
It doesn't need another firewall.

My fridge does not need Wi-Fi.
That is just not useful for me.
I want a place to chill my food.
Not chat via TCP/IP.

@neil the funny thing is I find it very useful to get notified when something's done or being able to tell if the dishes are still clean or having my fridge inventoried and empty items added to my grocery list... but they're not selling us on real features, they're selling us on the idea of features and then under-delivering. (My dishwasher lets me start it remotely, something I can't imagine anyone needs, but it doesn't tell me if the dishes are clean, something my childhood washer did)
