Smart Appliance Pros and Cons

[Teqwer]

Hey folks! I’m considering upgrading to smart appliances in my kitchen and laundry room. I like the idea of convenience and saving energy, but I’ve also heard they can be glitchy or not worth the cost. What’s been your experience with smart appliances—worth it or not?

I’ve got a mix of smart and regular appliances, and honestly, the smart ones have been a game changer—especially the thermostat and washer. Being able to monitor cycles and energy use remotely is a huge plus. That said, they do rely on a good Wi-Fi connection and app updates. Not every model is created equal, so it helps to install them properly.
