Yes! A washer doesn't need AI or wifi. It needs power, water, detergent and dirty laundry. Had a guest the other day pull out their phone and go Oh my dish washer is out of surfactant. Why the fuck do you need to know that, when you're 20min away by car?

I will pay more if an appliance isn't internet connected.
