This particular homeowner is baffled that anyone would buy a washing machine that needs an internet connection. I'm all for smart appliances, but a smart washing machine is a solution in search of a problem.

I guess it can notify you via your cell phone when a load is done. I could see that having value.
Mine plays a loud jingle when it's done, which seems to be enough for me.
Yup. There are two situations here:
- I'm in my house and can hear the sound
- I'm not at my house and don't care when it finishes
If I'm at home and won't hear the sound for some reason, I'll just set an alarm on my phone. My washing machine tells me how long it'll take, so there's no guesswork here.
