Dishwasher, like most appliances, are getting too smart.
Many Bosch recommendations here, but beware that they are not above locking specific dishwasher features behind an app.
I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud - Mar 24, 2025
My honest advice is to go with the absolute simplest one you can find. I have a cheapo "Edgestar" washer from China that works without a hitch. It has 4 buttons. It has no wifi. It has a 3x 7-segment displays for communicating everything.
Dishwashers have been around, and mostly unchanged, for something like 120 years. No amount of fancy silicone trays, wash modes, microcontrollers, wifi, alerts, error modes, etc... can convince me that modern companies have actually thought of anything new in this space.
This turned into a rant.
TLDR: a cheap one
Is there no bosch version without that bullshit? I will absolutely not connect any appliance to the internet. Nor do I want a screen.
I got a Bosch a few years ago that has no app connectivity. Probably 4 or 5 years old at this point.
