    I actually can’t believe anybody would be stupid enough to think that Wi-Fi ever needed to be on a washing machine. That is literally a idea designed to milk extra money from sucker’s.

    We bought an “analog” washer and dryer for my wife and I when we moved into our first home. Hasn’t failed us yet. Her parents have a fancy set and they’ve had to get it fixed a few times already. Seems like the simpler the better for home appliances

    How does one wash wi-fi? Any special detergents or temp settings?

      you put the router in the washing machine. of course, you have to poke a hole for the cables, since the router has no wifi when its turned off.

      then, you turn the washing machine on. water should be enough but if you want to be safe you can put salt.

      when the machine beeps you’ll have successfully washed the wifi away from your router.

    I want a Speed Queen. They’re way more expensive than your standard machines, but there’s a reason you find them in laundromats everywhere. They’re built to be abused.

    What do people even do with their wifi appliances? Throw the load in and say Alexa start the washer? How is that easier than setting it yourself?

    I bought an “analog” washing machine (I can’t believe I just wrote that) because of simplicity. The more complicated something is, the more difficult it is to repair, and the more potential points of failure there are.
