Nice write-up by Jeff.

Things are getting out of hand. It’s time for a change. Only buy equipment with local access.

    That dishwasher runs perfectly fine without connecting to an app. Been using it that way for half a year.

    People are so obsessed for nonsense features. Just set normal mode, auto air, start. Done. You know when it finished because the red light shining on the floor turns off, it beeps at you, and auto air opens the door so it can dry faster.

    Guess what? You just had a machine wash dishes for you and you didn’t even hear it running the whole time.

    Check the trash filter occasionally, which is a physical part you can pull out from the bottom and wash in the sink. Clean the gaskets occasionally to keep a clean seal like any dishwasher.

    I will probably open it up at some point and see if I can damage/remove the radio so it can’t ever connect to anything.

    It’s a dishwasher, it doesn’t have to massage your plates’ backs. Nothingburger rant.

      Rinse, delayed start and eco mode are unneeded features? Delay start is one of my most used features, many power companies charge less if you use electricity in the middle of the night. Rinse is incredibly useful for if water got stuck on/in some dishes, and eco mode saves power and water. How is a high-end dishwasher not having things that many people use daily “a nothingburger?”
