Well you haven't been looking too closely then, because there are a ton of washing machines on the market that are WiFi-enabled and have apps.

There must be for sure, but I opened bestbuy and I can't find any on the first page[1]. There are always some buyer who are attracted by technical terms so there is some market for those.

    Where does it say that it has wifi? Smart is just a marketing term here.

      It's definitely not just a marketing term.. If you follow the specs on that model - you'll see a, "Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi" If you go to the product page on Samsung.com (https://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/front-load/4-5-cu-ft-front-load-washer-with-vibration-reduction-technology-plus-in-white-wf45t6000aw-a5/ https://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/front-loa...) "Smart Care - Easy troubleshooting from the convenience of your smartphone.* Smart Care interacts with your washer and dryer to perform an immediate diagnosis and offer quick solutions."

        There is no "Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi" in specs at least in samsung's site. It does display the troubleshooting which seems something like QR for machine status, which I really doubt it will troubleshoot anything and it is just there for false assurance.

      You may be right, Best Buy says it has WiFi but it isn't mentioned in the manual. Still, a bit further down the results this LG definitely does: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/6419621.p?skuId=6419621 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/6419621.p?skuId=6419621
