Our Bosch is real nice also...very quiet.
10yrs old and doing well.
Internet connected stuff can be really cool. Problem right now is that appliance makers are just dropping wifi in there without any software people in the room to talk about things like security and what not. But there’s some really neat stuff you can do with net connected things.
Looks like your AIO is pneumatically controlled...
>>I am very utilitarian about appliances and like. Do the job you were built nothing more nothing less. Superfluous features just mean more things that can break.<<
If you look at microwaves, you will note that they were getting so complex that you damn near needed an APL programming manual to heat up a bowl of soup.
They learned their lesson and now are a lot easier to use.
Vehicle integrated everything centers OTOH have become so difficult you would think they were tied into NORAD. Up until not too long ago I rented cars weekly. All I want to do is listen to AM radio. More than a few times I had to go to the booth and ask “how in the heck do I freakin TURN ON THE G-D RADIO??”
Even the owner’s manual (if present) doesn’t usually say. The nav-center takes up about a third of a 1/2” manual!
I hate to drive in silence and I don’t care for music when I drive so I need AM radio to listen to people talk. I usually can find a conservative talk station somewhere pretty quickly. IF I CAN TURN IT ON.
I have the cheapest 5-cup Mr. Coffee. I figure that if I can’t roll out of bed, put in the water and filter and measure two scoops of coffee, I don’t DESERVE my morning cup.<<
In Mexico I just use one of those $3 timers. At home I just press the button.
Ice makers take up WAY too much space in the Fridge.
You forgot bedwarmer.

“I always buy the dumbest appliances...................”
Ha! I thought I was the only one to buy a flowbee.
You can operate all those from the same remote. Get a Logitech Harmony. With those you can even operate remote control fans and a lot of other stuff. They’re pretty cool.
Oh...I can think of bunch of other tasks that model seems suited for.
ping!
My washer and dryer date back to 1991.
My refrigerator dates back to 1993.
My TV back to 2000.
Dishwasher to 2003.
Car is 2001 and pickup 2000.
Nothing connected to anything else or the internet.
Just the way I like it.
Next time get a bunn. On off switch. Beautiful coffee. Durable as hell. 3 minutes from pour in cold water to steaming hot pot. (It keeps a reservoir at about 195 degrees 24/7) I like their thermal carafe version. It does cost more but it is worth it.
I now use a hotspot, hand me down now wifi only smart phone, and bluetooth speaker as my universal car radio. No need to change stations no matter how many miles are covered - except for a few places without phone network coverage (US 191 and US 212, I’m talkin’ ‘bout YOU!).
I’m a machinist, which means I get really dirty and oily sometimes when I’m out in the shop. We use to have an old washing machine that agitated up and down instead or twisting, and that was back in the late 70’s, early 80’s. Kept that thing until it fell completely apart and we couldn’t get parts for it.
It has been the only machine that could actually get really dirty clothes clean when it comes to greasy, grimy work wear. The newer machines, especially the front loaders, just plain suck for getting serious dirt stains out.
Those wimpy flop around agitation spins they make coupled with removing the phosphates from the soap and we have taken two steps backwards IMHO. Next washer I buy will probably be an old, old machine and pay my repair guy to replace anything in it that it needs and just stick with that until the assisted living center worries about it.
I did.
And now I’m bald....................

OMG! I used to feel so confused and helpless when Yi would start yelling at me in Mandarin!
