  I worked a 20 year career in IT and I wouldn&apos;t consider smart appliances in my own home. &nbsp;One more huge downside you missed - you expect your brand new appliances to last 15-20 years at minimum, but the smart technology will be out of date in 3 years and be unsupported in 5-8. &nbsp;The apps and the servers will either be taken down or won&apos;t support your old hardware anymore and now you&apos;re stuck with smart features that don&apos;t work. &nbsp;Depending on what those features are that might be an inconvenience or it might turn your expensive appliance into a useless brick. &nbsp;(Do you need the app to turn it on and off?) &nbsp;It&apos;s just one more piece of planned obsolescence to force you to upgrade

  Most important item in a shower is the Safety Hand Rail . If you’re gonna injure yourself in a home it’s in the shower where it’s wet slippery and you’re naked and there’s no soft surfaces to land on

  the day my friend got stuck with a bricked oven because his wi-fi failed for 5 minutes while they had a half-baked turkey in there... and it took 5 days to get a technician to fix it for them while the door was locked.<br>lmao, I swore off any and all smart appliances. What do you mean you can&apos;t even OPEN the door?!<br>I know there are some dryers/washers like this too. Where I live, it&apos;s not uncommon to have like... 3-4 days of power loss in the winter because the storms are getting worse... somehow I still heard stories of people being locked out of their washing machines for days with wet clothes inside! And I&apos;m like : huuuuuuuuuuuh... shouldn&apos;t there be a fail safe mechanism that releases the lock if the power fail?! 🤦‍♀️<br>&quot;smart&quot; is a misnomer, is what I am saying.<br>(and all the privacy issues)

  In the 60s, my carpenter grandpop put in solid birch kitchen cabinets.<br>In the 90s a later owner turned that antique house into a 1700s masterpiece.<br>Those cabinets are still there.

  I live in the country and have pets. &nbsp;I love my vinyl flooring! It&apos;s beautiful, &nbsp;durable, &nbsp;feels great under foot, and cleans like a dream

  Thrilled to hear someone say &apos;Function First&apos; as if the function is not priority you end with cheap fixes.

  I wanted a pot filler over my stove until my husband asked how the pipes were going to get there. &nbsp;I thought about it and we don’t have a pot filler.
