My first thought about a washer with wifi, was, "Why, why would I need this, why would I want this?"  I bought it anyway because of the beautiful, modern and sleek look to it and my previous washer was an LG which I had a long, very good experience with, so I wanted another LG.  This works as good, if not better than my previous washer and I do use the wifi.  The LG ThinQ app lets me know how much time is left, when to run a clean cycle, clean the lint filter and sends an alert to my phone when it's finished, among many other useful features.  When not in use, the washer's digital display shows the date and time.  I also bought the matching front load dryer and the matching pedestals to complete the look and functionality.  It's a beautiful looking and beautiful working machine!
