    But how will LG know my usage patterns to better nickel and dime their next model down to bare minimum standards if my device isn’t checking in with the cloud every couple minutes? My device needs weekly software updates so it can notify me when the pump mysteriously quits after an update and the washer has already booked the service visit and shared my credit info with the repair company.

      correct on all fronts with exception to the service visit… that wouldn’t happen, they just tell you to throw it out because the pump somehow costs 3x as much as the machine

        They tell you to throw it out after their certfied technician bills you 3 hours to tell you its not worth fixing.
