"I went to run a rinse cycle, only to find that that, along with features like delayed start and eco mode, require an app.

Not only that, to use the app, you have to connect your dishwasher to WiFi, set up a cloud account in something called Home Connect, and then, and only then, can you start using all the features on the dishwasher."

It's my understanding that the smart dishwashers by Bosch still have all of the same offline features they've always had, but have additional cloud stuff. Like there should still be the basic 2 or 4 hour delay buttons that is typical, but erg the app you can set specific times?

Or we're about to see appliances go the way of the BMW pay monthly for your heated seats BS
