I try to avoid "smart" appliances and if the manufacturer forces the "smart" stuff, I never enable it. Even my induction hob would like to connect to wifi (no idea what that would be useful for), but that's just not happening.
- Macha 3mo agoMy washing machine advertises its remote start feature to try get people to use the app and it’s like… I need to physically load laundry into the machine so I’m already going to be standing there when I want to start it.
- fl0ki 3mo agoExactly. That said, it's nice to get a notification when it's done.
- knolan 3mo agoWe don’t have smart appliances but I’ve recently switched to an electricity plan with a really cheap night rate for charging my EV (1 cent per km!). We often fill and then schedule our Bosch washing machine and dryer to come on at 2am. No app required.
- Macha 3mo agoMine is a Bosch (but I guess a few generations newer?). Definitely requires an app for scheduling.
- rogerrogerr 3mo agoDo you have wet clothes sitting in the dryer until 2am? Curious how you deal with that.
- yencabulator 3mo agoThey said "Bosch washing machine and dryer". It's a combo unit that dries after washing.
