    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.
