Do you really need to buy a smart washing machine?

Keep your old washing machine, you'll save hundreds of euros for a feature you're gonna use twice. Basic models do exactly the same job and last just as long.

It's not really a pointless luxury thing if you keep an eye on your water and electricity bills. Connected models often use less because you can start cycles during off-peak hours, and that's straight-up cash in your pocket every month. That said, it doesn't actually change how clean your clothes get, so if you just want to save money without overthinking it, a basic one does the job.
