When our oven gave up the ghost last year, I bought one with WiFi connection. Installed it, then discovered that the smartphone app that goes with it is horrid, borderline unusable; moreover, oven programs (pizza/cake etc.) are only available on the app. Finally, when WiFi is on, the oven cannot be operated through its front panel.

We are left to using it in the most basic way, with its capacitive touch buttons, a downgrade from the previous oven…

Also, its interior lighting is on when door closed, but shuts off when we open the door. Who designs such things?

My guess would be MBAs, via compliant PMs.
