Anybody know anything about this new GE washer dryer combo?

Any appliance with an internet connection is a no go for me. Some pointless BS that will eventually be used to sell more crap to me or force a subscription of some sort for updates. I’m sure they’ll find someway to monetize the data they’re collecting.
Yeah, feel the same way. I wouldn't say absolutely no go, but I don't think I need it.

And it seems like it's the add-ons that end up breaking the unit and not the basic parts.

Sort of like how ice makers are always the first thing to die in refrigerators.
