CAFE by GE for those who are wondering.
We are renovating our house including all new appliances. I have told my partner to make sure we get non smart appliances. This is why.
Yes I can setup a VLAN for it to be on but that's not the point.
Thanks for the additional insight.
A coffee maker, I'd just return. But a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, etc would be a huge hassle I'd want to avoid. I think my best bet, like you said, is to just look for one that has absolutely no mention of w-fi or "smart".
