It can actually be a little hard to find models from major brands without wifi. That said, there is no reason that you have to give it access to your router. I worry that they’ll start saying that a wifi connection is mandatory at some point, though.
Saw someone a few years ago recommending shopping for “commercial displays” apparently they are more expensive, but they exist. Try that out in your preferred google machine.
Sceptre still makes dumb tvs, as far as I know. I’ve heard quality is hit or miss. Mine works fine after 7 years, but others have said colors don’t hold and similar.
Thanks! I’ve been frustrated by my LG and won’t buy one again. I’ve disassembled it twice to clean out mold. I think I’ll try Bosch next time. I love my Bosch dishwasher.
We always leave the door open. The amount of mold has gotten awful at times and I even live in a pretty arid climate. I never had this issue with top loaders.
From what I’ve whitnessed, front loaders seem more susceptible to mold/ mildew growth than top loaders. How often do you use the tub clean function with washing machine cleaner? I know LG recommends every 30 washes.
Mmm. It’s going to be a bit of an uphill battle for manufacturers, though - not everyone has wifi signal in their laundry, that’s not a part of the house that you usually hang around in.

I bought a new washing machine a year ago, I really had no troubles to find a “dumb” one
Any tips for finding a ‘dumb’ tv? One that switches on from power off in seconds, instead of a two minute loading screen?

Lol. That might have been me. Else I’ll keep my plasma until something else comes along.

Huh, what brand? Having a smart one didn’t bother me so long as it didn’t require a connection, so maybe I didn’t look THAT hard.
It’s a Bosch WAN282H3 I bought for 440€, it’s a really nice device so far.
Edit: What I had problems with was finding a washing machine that only has physical buttons, I couldn’t find one.

You are going to get mold in any washing machine especially if you leave the door closed.

I’ve gotten in the habit of wiping away the moisture on the door and gasket with my clothes after a wash cycle is complete.
Yep. However, never will it be phrased like that. Not mandatory, some things just won’t work without it 🤷
Mafia talk.

You’re right, but I’m sure they’ll find a way. If not next year then in ten years. Always an evaluation of customers lost vs. income gained.
Some devices cannot be properly configured without a working network connection nowadays.
