YES. The worst is my new Bosch dishwasher. It has capacitive touch buttons.
Seriously. Who thought it would be a good idea to use buttons that don't work properly with wet fingers...on a dishwasher.
- voakbasda 5y agoYou think that’s bad? I have been upset at Rubbermaid for months, because I bought some $6 buckets that cannot pour more than a trickle without spilling their contents everywhere. That brand used to be a favorite of mine, but I now plan to avoid buying any of their products for as long as I can remember that they hire obviously incompetent industrial designers. It sounds like I should proactively add Bosch to my list of companies that demonstrate dedicated leadership in the race to the bottom. I will still consider their brand and products, but more as a cautionary example than as a viable option.
- EL_Loco 5y agoMy last dishwasher had the analog buttons go bad twice, so when it was time to get a new one I went with the capacitive touch button one, just for that reason (no moving part to break there). Been about 12 years, not a single problem, and the buttons work all the time. Granted, I know a well spec'd/designed hardware button can last a lifetime, but that one didn't even get close, so for me the capacitive's been a pretty good choice.
