I love technology, but prefer my appliances to be fairly dumb. I depend on them to do their basic functions and the less that can go wrong the better. I do like the auto dry sensor on my dryer, and the dirt sensor on my dishwasher. I don't need to run my appliances with my phone, saw a washing machine into Lowes the other day that you can control with your phone...

Same here, bakechef. I'm seeing commercials lately about a washing machine that has a built in hand washing sink in it. Seriously? Just one more thing to break and possibly mess up the main function of the washer. I sure don't want or need anything that can be controlled by my phone.
I sometimes think it would be nice to have one of those Breville all purpose blenders/food processors - the one with the whisk, immersion stick and all...but in all reality I would probably only use it a couple of times a year....
Are you talking about https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smartypans#/story? That looks like a cool toy, but I think it's probably a good idea to use a measuring cup with this gadget.Omg !! This post is bang on for what I was looking for to share my experience with a new product, I just purchased. I always wanted a utensil that helped me cook smart. I am an extremely lazy person who is awful at cooking. I wanted to get rid of all my measuring cups and so I got a SmartyPans. I am super excited about it and can't wait to start using it !!

Lot's of things should have a manual override.I also prefer dumb appliances. All smart appliances should have a dumb overide.

YES! Cars, too. I hate when an appliance goes off on its own as programmed and I have no option of overriding it because it is being stupid.I also prefer dumb appliances. All smart appliances should have a dumb overide.
Although I am neither endorsing nor supporting this idea, I CAN see how it might appeal to some shoppers. When we moved from OH, where each time we built a house a utility tub was part of the washing area, here in MA that wasn't the norm. In fact, the builders who offered a separate laundry room (rather than installing hook-ups for the appliances in the half-bath) did not have any tub in the laundry area.I saw the commercial for that washing machine. I was also wondering how useful that would actually be. I'd rather save my money and use the sink, I have plenty of them in my house...
Also handy for items that one hand washes. I hate hanging it to dry in the bathroom and I don't want to carry it wet to the basement where my washer and dryer and drying rack are. Sometimes, it can be handy to hand wash something and put it in the dryer. I have seriously considered having a laundry sink installed. I don't even have a way to get water in my basement without unhooking the washer.YES! Cars, too.

Being accustomed to a utility tub right by the washer, we added one. That danged $60 tub ended up costing $600 by the time the builder got done with crunching numbers! Still, it went in. Very handy for the laundry that needs a wee bit of hands-on pre-washing before tossing into the machine.
