The good news: GE Appliances is one of the biggest US appliance makers, and Haier is one of the biggest in the world. Your appliances work as normal appliances even without SmartHQ.

The bad news: Remote control, alerts and smart features depend on the app and the company’s cloud, with little or no local control.

If you own GE Appliances (SmartHQ)

  • Treat the app as a bonus: the appliance works on its own.
  • Keep the app updated, since appliance features change through it.
