    I have yet to understand what the value proposition of an internet-connected refrigerator is.

      It might be nice to email me about errors and warnings. But at least my fridge will post errors on the temperature displays, and it's usually the same error (compressor is running too long; better clean the coils).

      Plus, since it's a Sub-Zero, it's got a pretty cool finishing move.
