Is this so hard in your locale? When I browse the top three recommended washing machines on a popular Dutch appliances seller, only the third (Samsung) actually has some app functionality. The other two (Bosch, AEG) are just normal washing machines.

(The division there is currently 64 with app, 43 without. The models without appear to score higher in the reviews.)

Interesting, I was sure they would all have some kind of wifi these days. I think my parents have the Bosch, it's pretty good. I just find it weird that they have two input methods, the turning wheel and tip touch buttons that don't really respond well.

Mind you, I have 'regular' buttons that don't respond well either.

Agree with the Bosch touch buttons - the wheel works well but you need to use both input methods...

Coolblue?

Coolblue has good service and installers and stuff, but I find they have a (probably intentionally) limited range of stuff they sell. But that's fine, I really have no interest in e.g. the bottom of the price range for appliances.

Tweakers.net probably has more specialized filters I'd imagine.

Coolblue in this case, and they do have this specific filter:

I find it quite ironic you suggest Bosch as normal considering https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dis... (although that was admittedly for a dishwasher)
