Yeah I don’t need Bluetooth in my toothbrush either.

Reddit has great information on vacuum's. The community has curated lists ranging in prices, and education surrounding the subject. According to them, you don't want to go bagless.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

Who asked for this? Did y'all ask for this? I don't remember asking for this.

Looks around room in confusion

Even better:

Even better, if you’re doing the wash and left your phone in the other room, Samsung’s added touchscreens to its washers and dryers, including the new Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo washer / dryer ($3,099). This lets you answer a call directly on the built-in 7-inch LCD screen.

You can take calls with your clothes dryer!

There is no world in which the barely marginal convenience outweighs the additional cost (and near certain privacy invasion of a microphone equipped dryer).

not to mention, why would you even want to start a conversation that could run on indefinitely and keep you hostage in your laundry room. nothing about this makes sense if you think about it for 5 seconds.
