Comment on No more Bosch for me..
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 days agoAs the video explains, if it was optional to add features, that’s fine. But you can’t access basic features like rinse only without connecting your dishwasher to their cloud service.
It’s offensive. I got a Bosch last year because my other Bosch is good. I saw the cloud requirements and got enraged too. I should have sent it back. But I had the higher end version that put only the more obscure features behind their cloud revenue extraction.
The line between “optional add”, and “base features” will differ per user, so personally, mine can do everything I need it to on the controls, and the cloud stuff is value add.
My only complaint with Bosch is that my washing machine from the same vintage doesn’t have any remote start features, so i can’t run it via homeassistant.

Have you considered buying a dishwasher without this connectivity nonsense? They still sell them, you know.

As I said, I didn’t know. I bought the exact same model that I bought the year before. I considered returning it but I have kids and dishes to do. I spent hours installing it.
