    Houses are easier because standardization and regs (safety, really).

    It’s appliances that are getting all the BS, and I hope we’ll always be able to buy non-smart appliances.

      My parents recently got a new washer/dryer set; they had to buy commercial (though available to consumers) units to get non-smart units.

        Oh, I’m in the same boat. I was like, “$1000 for a ‘smart’ washer with shitty plastic parts or $2000 for a Speed Queen? I think if this washer breaks, I’m just going to buy the commercial washer.” They last forever.

          Speed Queen is the brand in the commercial used space. Can’t beat them. Parts always available.
