Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

[phillymatt53]

I'd get their most budget model. I didn't need stupid wifi.

Don't let the Millenial crowd hear you say that!

Why do people want everything WiFi ? It's stupid. Why are all dishwashers in Europe and down under built with complete cabinets?

The social disease of WiFi has been spread as a so-called "convenience" among the masses to suppliment the "wireless" trend which first started decades ago when the first "cordless" telephones and remote control tv's were available.
It's basically a Marketing tool that corporations know can bring them more revenue, while conditioning society to become lazy and less active.
Flop your ass down on the sofa and enjoy a bag of potato chips while scanning through the channels.
Lay in bed with your laptop while you browse "convenient" internet shopping on Amazon.
You've now become accustomed to The New World of Doing Things!
Everyone's doing it! - even people on treadmills in the gym can now text their eyeballs off or check out porn sites.

This "conditioning" has been successful enough to gain revenue for those corporations, while making people a lazy crowd of sheep.
But you're not supposed to realize that.

And Matt just what do you think this website is!? You seem to be on it quite frequently yourself, not that I should talk either. LOL

But the point is just because a technology is “new” doesn’t necessarily make it a plot to poison minds and cripple people by confining them to their beds and couches.

I appreciate the days of yore just as much as anybody else that peruses this website, maybe more because I’m old enough to remember lots of this old memorabilia from the first time around.

Face it Wi-Fi and the internet at here to stay. But that being said I’m in total agreement that having your washers, dryers and DW’s Wi-Fi capable is totally unnecessary but then I’m a Boomer not Gen Z. Time marches on.

Thankfully, all of my appliances that I treasure are within listening distance while running. No wifi required.

The difference is semiconductors and wifi have a practical application in personal computers, servers, and in the most of data delivery. They do not however have any practical application in appliances.

Oh, but Chet, they DO have a practical use in appliances!
For the manufacturers!
A big ole weak spot in design, prone to failure, to boost sales revenue.

Oh, yes indeed.

1) Advertising bait. Screens, jingles, features, ect make the customer feel like they are buying something better than their old machine.

2) Profound cheapening. Manufacturers can do away with advanced suspensions, material, quality parts, self regulating designs, deep sumps, intelligent engineering, ect ect because the programming will take care of all the shortfalls. If the electronics can spend an hour trying to balance a load and abort it altogether at the slightest centimeter of tub displacement you can do away with the robust suspension that previously handled it without a hiccup. You can make a dishwasher sump that is so shallow with such a cheap tiny motor that the control can afford to spend half an hour burping bubbles out of the sump and revving the motor up and down in real time to prevent dry cavitation.

3) Obsolesce. Electronics have a finite life expectancy. If they can make it past the 1 year warranty but fail after 3 years that is a new machine scored.

And that system is one that works well for manufacturers.
I've often spoken about society's "conditioning", and that's one thing that manufacturers count on.

Silence is consent. But that is what people have been conditioned to do. Be quiet and let others do the thinking for you. Its working. It has never been an easier time to be a trillionaire but has never been harder to be 1/10 of a millionaire.
