Does everything have to be connected to a smartphone ?

[Miss Demeanour]

So at the weekend our washing machine died after a long period of suspecting this was going to happen at any time soon.

So the search began for a new one.

The man started to look online and there then followed a huge tirade about why on earth a washing machine needs to be connected to your network or smartphone ...as many of them offered this 'feature'  . This then escalated into a torrent of abuse about the NASA type controls on some of these machines and the 3001 options to get clothes wet , churn them and whizz them fast .

Anyways I take over and ordered what I thought was a happy compromise in terms of quality and the potential for confuslimication.

Next day delivery and installation all went without a hitch.

He has just put his first wash on , managed without a grumble.

But then the greatest of sins was committed. At the end of the ever so quiet cycle the machine announces it has finished by playing a little tune.

You would have thought Air Force One had landed in our garden from the reaction of the man 

Storms off into the utility room and starts swearing at the thing for daring to be cheerful and providing a feature he had not asked for and according to him is "totally fffing pointless"  " how much extra does that cost " etc etc etc

Bless him

Can you programme it to do fanfares or annoying earworms?

I'm sure it comes under the technical department and therefore a silly ol wumman like me wouldn't understand such things

Miss A has an LG direct drive jobby in Sarf Africa which seemed to work a treat... She asked me to stop it playing a bleddy overture every time it stopped but I couldn't find the manual...

Both of ours were combined washer fumble dryers and everytime it went fumbling it left more fluff in it's drying pipes and eventually it shut down.  Engineers various sucked teeth and went 

But as a washine machine it were brilliant

No worries

It can't last too long the luck that you have with such things. We can then recommend the whistle while they work variety to you
