"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."

I think, OP meant to link this post: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dishwasher-your-stupid-cloud

Basically, they only found out after 4 hours of installing it and they desperately need a dishwasher, so they won't try to return it, but they were angry enough to write a blog post about it.
