Mine connects, specifically to allow Alexa voice control. It actually comes in handy once and a while (or should I say, handless...)

The one appliance I have that has internet capability that I don't understand is my dishwasher. It has the ability to be remote started. I can't think of a single use case for this, since you need to load soap to use it, and it has a delay feature. It's a great dishwasher, and I bought it in spite of the silly internet option, which I've never enabled.

This sounds like an awful idea. you'll have a kid somewhere mimic their parents, throw their plastic fruit in the oven, and tell alexa to cook it (starting a fire)
