You wont be the target audience, no offence.
Are you calling me an old git? Shocking.
A mobile phone that does it all makes sense. It's functional and fashionable and they're constantly evolving with ever more tricks.
A washing machine just sits there and washes stuff. I'm sure the iWash would attract a few psycho die hards but it's solving a problem that doesn't really exist and introducing potential problems that really don't need to exist.
If the future leaves me behind with my ancient utensils, then so be it.
I'm with you. In fact we just purchased a new washer/dryer. 95% of the models for sale were the front loading "efficient" over-priced piles of junk. Luckily we found some good ol' fashioned top loaders which happened to be on sale. They clean better and will cost way less to fix if they ever break, unlike their "new and improved" cousins.
