Their support is also absolutely awful. I had one of their washing machines. Purchased about 18 months ago. The dispenser drawer broke.

I have been very lucky with a washer/dryer pair from Samsung that have only needed two minor repairs in 12 years of near-daily use. A heating element for the dryer.

Disconnect it and buy any streaming device. An Apple TV is nice.

No-name android boxes are a concern, too - and they might not have the honesty to spell out their spying in the ToS
