I don't know. My washing machine beeps three times in increasing intervals, so it isn't that intrusive. The display shows me unique error codes that I can look up when someone happens. And I can set the machine to finish in a set amount of hours, so it will start just in time to be done when I'm back. All without WiFi

    Mine is in part of the house that I'm very likely to hear it when in most.of the rest of the house.

    But I agree in general, and I wouldn't use it. And I have way more home automation stuff set up (and a dedicated non-infernet-connected network for it) than most people.
