When they came to set up our Sleep Number bed, the delivery guy asked for our wifi password. HUH? I don’t think so.
When we moved into our house in 2023, the prior owners had left a washer-dryer set, not even a year old. The washer wanted our wifi password for a few reasons, one of which would let me know when the cycle finished. A loud “beep!” has worked just fine for me.
We GAVE the set to the handyman who helped us after the move, and installed our old set.
You made the right choice...you are blessed.
