Actually, if you’ve looked at washers and dryers these days, you’d see they have the same apps as a phone and often cost many times more.

Why do all these new appliance need apps? Whatever happened to set it and forget it?

I've got a "smart" oven in the Reno house. I do like that I can turn it off from my phone. I've been known to leave an oven turned on a time or two! It's been awhile, but I have set more than one kitchen on fire. There's a good reason I gave up smoking the funny stuff.

These can be avoided, but it takes some deep shopping. When we bought our new house, it included a fancy washer and dryer. The dryer was fine, but the washer was so busy trying to save the planet that it refused to use enough water to actually clean/rinse the clothing. ESPECIALLY poly, which, as all skiers know, requires thorough rinsing.

So, after watching a bunch of youtube videos on how to "trick" the machine into using more water, it was time to shop for a replacement.

I explained my position to a nice appliance guy. Halfway through, he put up his hands in a stop motion, and said "stop, you're me, buy these". The new machine allows me to choose the water level for the wash and rinse. Just like the olden days. Woulda thunk?!

And they were cheap enough that we came out hundreds of dollars ahead after selling the fancy, lightly used ones.

My husband made me stop cooking decades ago. I can't say I minded.

That's one way to get your steaks well done. Pass the ketchup, please.

No way. Apple is the Miele of phones, so no.

 

[raytseng]

To be fair though, the reason people need to use machines at a laundromat isn't because they are choosing between a phone and the appliance; it is a financial problem at least 500x bigger. They can buy the washer, but tell me, where does it go?

 

[Tom K.]

I guess I was just saying that I paid less for our current washer and dryer set than the cost of a current, top of the line, iPhone. Fact.

 

[KingGrump]

In the laundry room, of course.

Ah, of course, next to the maid's quarters and wine cellar I presume!

Yes, but are they the current top of the line Miele washer/drier with eleventy gazilion useless functions? This combo costs like 5-6 iPhones if not more. Or so I am told.

Holy shite, you aren't kidding -- $3,600 on sale, no less.

I had no idea.

Yep. Not pretty.

Would never put the maid's quarter on the same level as the wine cellar. Maids are people too.

Red Neck tile job, but it is water tight. Looks like a lot of mold around that tub.
