Are Smart Appliances Worth the Investment?

When you choose to buy an appliance, your decision is derived from one of two things; necessity or convenience. Some appliances you would need, such as a fridge - so your food doesn’t spoil. Smart appliances, on the other hand, are investments you make mostly for the sake of convenience.

But what exactly are they?

Smart appliances are essentially appliances that can be controlled wirelessly by the owners via smartphone or other smart device. This feature stems from devices using linking sensors, apps and connecting to the Internet (your home network) through your WiFi. These smart home devices can communicate with other compatible smart devices and accomplish your commands remotely.

For example, you can connect your lights to a Google Home system and tell your Google Home to turn off the lights from the comfort of your bed - and it will! You can mark down expiry dates of the food items in your fridge, and when your food is approaching the expiry date (or has expired) you will receive a notification from your smart fridge to your smartphone about the fact. There are so many things one can accomplish with smart appliances.

So The Question Becomes, Are Smart Appliances Worth The Investment?

The answer depends. Sure, smart appliances are most certainly a big convenience. Not only do they save you that extra effort, but they also save you time and money. Are they a necessity? Probably not.

Shortcuts and features that anticipate your needs and allow you to control them from your bubble of comfort are definitely a great addition to your routine if you can afford them. Bear in mind that most smart appliances aren’t expensive. A smart coffeemaker is fairly affordable compared to a smart fridge. However, a smart fridge is a good investment if you find yourself throwing out spoiled food frequently. As long as the smart appliances’ features have value to your life, a smart appliance is worth the investment.
