Gregory's Server@hamatti We really should redefine "smart device" to mean "device that actually does something to make life easier" like this one Japanese combo washer/dryer I saw in a video a few months ago: not only is it a combo unit that eliminates the "transfer soggy clothes" step, it has an automatic detergent dispenser so you don't need to think to use it: just toss clothes in, select the mode, hit go, clean clothes come out later.
However, I'm somewhat reluctant to merge the two devices, as it is possible that internal redundancies and fault isolation may be subpar, which would mean that a failure of the drying system may affect the ability to wash clothes in general. An unacceptable performance degradation, I can still air dry things perfectly fine and shouldn't have to suspend my ability to do laundry (other than by hand) due to such a fault.
That being said, *maybe* they didn't skimp on fault isolation, but I'd need more information for certain.
