He'll be out of business in a years time!

Seriously a great idea though. I'd buy all their stuff.

If you want this today, SpeedQueen has decent models that last forever and are very simple.

I'm not against it having an open API to allow it to be controlled by some computer system, though don't even bring up the word "cloud".

The problem is they start including features no one wants. Like my dishwasher has an app, why?

It's not like it can fill itself so I can put the dishes in the dishwasher and I can start it remotely, but since I have to put the dishes in the dishwasher it's pointless to then not immediately turn it on, it's not like the dishes will care if they're sat in the dishwasher for a few hours. What is the point in me being able to remotely turn it on from my phone?

The app also lets me set a start time, which is a doubly pointless feature because I could just remotely turn it on with the app whenever, if for some reason I cared about that.

Imagine how much better the dishwasher would be if the people who'd spent the time building the world's most pointless app, instead worked on literally any other aspect of the dishwasher.

Similar to my idea called to make a clothing brand called “brandless”

No logo, no graphics, no distinguished designs

Just plain basic clothes in basic colors, using fabrics that last.

No itchy washing label either. All product information in detail available on site. At most a product number printed or sown on the inside.

Its very hard to sell a product based on it being "reliable" and "good quality". This is because everyone fucking lies in their marketing about those exact qualities and its inevitable that you will get breakdowns and your customers will complain about those breakdowns and destroy your reputation.

Everything is fake now. Its just a matter of using marketing to tell the customer your product is exactly what they want.

I want to produce boxed recipes under a product line named "Jamaican"

  • Jamaican a pie
  • Jamaican mac and cheese
  • Jamaican chicken with mushroom gravy

I also wanna make a perfume line named "Eureka," following the same general idea but with awfully generic scent names

  • Eureka flowers
  • Eureka citrus
  • Eureka chicken with mushroom gravy

And easier to repair, too.

A GE washing or drying machine from 30 years ago has easily removable panels, about 4 to 6 screws each and large easily identifiable parts, but one from a couple of years ago requires the top to be propped up or secured and the panels removed in a specific order such that you can them remove the internal plastic panels through which wires need to be dismounted around the drum with like 8 or more screws each of varying sizes and when it comes time to put it back together I hope you've got more than three arms because fuck you thats why.
