In 20 years of appliance repair doing on average 5 orders a day I have met maybe two or three clients that used the smart features in their appliances. Otherwise they are totally useless.

I remember reading an article from GE a while ago where they were complaining that very, very few people were using the WiFi features on their washers and dryers.

No one asked for WiFi, no one needs Wi-Fi on their appliances.

I only want to get an alert when the dryer finishes. The places I usually sit and wait for it to do the thing, are all too far away to hear the frilly "end chime" it quietly plays at the end of the cycle.

My late father's dryer had a very loud buzzer that you could hear almost everywhere in the house.

The dryer in my home just plays a little ditty through what I can only describe as a 486 system speaker. I can't hear it one room over.
