Do we need our washing machine connected to the internet? I don't have a Wi-Fi router at home and am glad. But my main reason for saying no to Wi-Fi is to lower the amount of microwave radiation in the house. That washing machine was active all day sending wireless signals into the house, increasing the exposure of anyone living there to electromagnetic radiation in a frequency range that could cause adverse health effects.
