Eh, its a very easy way to avoid smart appliances and a surprising amount of people don’t know they exist.

If it’s not for you, that’s okay, but someone else might find it useful and maybe wants that aesthetic.

Oh these are modern appliances with a retro aesthetic. Everything inside is all brand new including energy efficiency…just minus the smart features

I got a “retrowave” in mint green. It’s dumb, uses a turn dial to set the cook time, stands on little feet like it’s from Rocko’s Modern Life, and looks like it’s from the 50’s. Have a matching toaster and eventually want a matching fridge.

It’s been 4 years and no issues which is more than I can say about a lot of other new appliances we’ve gotten for the house.

For dumb appliances with a fun aesthetics look up 'retro (name of appliance here) and you’ll get all the brands who make stuff like that. It’s the only way I’ve been able to avoid smart garbage so far.
