Wifi on a dishwasher........why would you need it

All sorts of appliances are now available with wifi, including kettles.  Can anybody really be so desperate for a cuppa when they get home that they'd rather pay upward of £100 than wait a couple of minutes for the thing to boil when they switch it on?

I don't get it either....

By the time you have grabbed a mug , put coffee and milk in it , the kettle has boiled anyway!

I always use fresh water too , can't stand the taste of reboiled water so I have to be at the kettle to fill it

Thorganby: Not necessarily. To me, 'activating' a connection is not the same as 'disabling Wifi'.

Hasbeen: My post was, and still is perfectly clear. Obviously you do not possess the information i require.

Page 34 of the manual has a setting to turn WiFi on/off.

Curious as to why you’re buying a WiFi dishwasher when you don’t want WiFi. Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier to just get a non smart model?

You load the dishwasher after dinner, put a tablet in, set it off, by pressing the buttons on the front. I can't see why you'd need wifi for that. If I then set a 45 minute wash - it's going to be ready in 45 minutes. I don't need it to tell me it's done as I have the capacity to work out when 45 minutes is from when I press the button. Am I being daft in wondering why you're even need wifi on a dishwasher? (And as for the question - I'm not sure why you're looking for a wifi dishwasher if you don't want to enable wifi in the first place?)

neilmcl: Thankyou, i missed that.

likearubberball You are curious? Then i shall enlighten you. I like Bosch products. I'd like a 45cm Integrated dishwasher.

Maybe you are on the Octopus Agile electric tariff and you have programmed your Raspberry Pi to switch the dishwasher on when the price goes negative at 3am. Maybe you have solar panels and want to use the electricity you are generating in the day while you are out. 

You don't *need* wifi. You don't *need* a dishwasher. It's about convenience and adapting to the changing world we live in.

The people who 'need' wifi enabled appliances are presumably the same people who 'need' the latest tech the moment it's released.  Generally more about oneupmanship than anything else.  There's a difference between that and an appliance having functionality you neither need or want, but otherwise satisfying all your requirements in the product.

There some strange posts here. We all have gadgets with functionality we don't need or have use for, I have a 3D TV for example that I've never felt the need to use the functionality but I bought it because it was the best TV I wanted at the time. The OP may not want to use the wifi functionality but he does want a Bosch appliance and it just happens that the only models that suit their needs happen to have this.

Yeah, I've been looking for a replacement slimline Bosch dishwasher but they all come with WiFi now.

I don't need WiFi or want it and it's only another thing to go wrong around the hot and damp workings of a dishwasher. So I think I'm going to have to look for a different make.

 No problem my advice was to look at the instruction book and set Wi Fi to off?
Obviously I did not posses the information you required.

Sorry about that LOL
