    Huh, what brand? Having a smart one didn’t bother me so long as it didn’t require a connection, so maybe I didn’t look THAT hard.

      It’s a Bosch WAN282H3 I bought for 440€, it’s a really nice device so far.

      Edit: What I had problems with was finding a washing machine that only has physical buttons, I couldn’t find one.

        Thanks! I’ve been frustrated by my LG and won’t buy one again. I’ve disassembled it twice to clean out mold. I think I’ll try Bosch next time. I love my Bosch dishwasher.

          You are going to get mold in any washing machine especially if you leave the door closed.

          I’ve gotten in the habit of wiping away the moisture on the door and gasket with my clothes after a wash cycle is complete.
