Because now manufacturers are tying the last year of their warranty to having the devices connected to their stupid information harvesting apps.

Ugh! Now that you say that we are probably not far away from WiFi enabled ranges being a feature… that WHEN enabled will allow you to:

  • Cook uninterrupted or at any time of that day
  • Get discounted prices on gas
  • Get discounts on home/renters insurance
  • Receive discounts on range/oven cleaners
  • Enable the back burners
  • Enable broiling capability
  • Allow in oven light to be turned on and off
  • Claim warranties (as you suggested)
