You have to use an outlet capable of handling the max instantaneous load. That way you don't end up welding the relay in the on position.
As an example, my window air conditioner takes 600 watts to run, which is perfectly fine. But during startup, it takes 1800 watts. The plug i have can handle that quick spike, but its really not designed for it.
Right, the max instantaneous load is the max load I was speaking of.

Yes, but a couch doesn't stop functioning as a couch if the smart functions stop working.
Neither does a smart washing machine.

Oh yeah, as long as it can handle that, then you're fine.
I feel like a lot of people wouldn't necessarily know the difference and might end up starting a fire or something without meaning to.

Am old, don't get any of this. 4-5 hour dry times? Did I read that wrong? Mine does a load in 50 minutes, tops. The end of the cycle is fairly easy to figure, since you set the minutes yourself.
Every dryer I've ever had, you also set the time for it... But it still did whatever the fuck it wanted. Set it to 50 minutes? It takes 2 hours. And none of them have even been modern "smart" devices.

Only a few more years until I can overclock my couch!
I overclocked my clock and now I'm never late!

That's weird! I've had a dozen dryers over the years, all timed exactly as they said.

I suspect it's because they had moisture sensors so it would extend the dry time if it was still wet inside beyond a preset minimum of moisture. Most laundrymats this hasn't been an issue. The ones in my apartment are, tho. The washer runs exactly for 25 minutes. The dryer says it will run 45 minutes, but when I come back an hour later it's still going and now the timer says it has 20 minutes left.

Interesting read, really like their writing style.
I've got one coming and really can't figure out any meaningful benefit to having the WiFi enabled

If the motherboard takes a shit? A washing machine will absolutely stop functioning entirely. A couch is still a couch.

That could happen to the washing machine whether it's "smart" or not.

A proper older washing machine doesn't have a motherboard.

Yes it does

I guess you'll need to go back at least 40 years. Even so, if the belt or motor breaks then the washing machine doesn't work either.

Well sure, but my original point was that a "smart" couch still functions perfectly fine as a couch with or without its "smart" features.
-
Yes it does
And there's my point. A couch is still a couch, smart features or not.

And a washing machine is still a washing machine, smart features or not. Every washing machine is going to have a controller board that can break.
