As I am never done saying (being at the sharp end I *know* these facts
to be true ;)):

The more you pack into a box the more and more likely to go wrong it is!

Extremes of temperatures and electronics are good bedfellows.

Steam and condensation along with electronics is a no-no!

How do I know this, because I replace so many chuffing PCBs in frost
free fridge freezers and in washers when they get a slight bit of
condensation on them. So would I recommend any appliance like this,
nope!

Cookers it's mainly elements that fail, electric ones at least, and in
microwaves its transformer, PCB then magnetron in that order in the
main.

TBH though, what possible reason does anyone have for an internet
enabled appliance? LAN access for timers or warning I can cope with but
the rest just appears total stupidity IMHO.
