   In India where people buy the devices with lowest possible cost, i have never seen a smart washing machine so far and rarely a smart fridge. The cost of the smart module doesn’t offset the cost of spying yet i guess.

      Me, in the US, tried to buy a non smart oven a couple years ago. I could not find one (that fit the space the old oven was in). I also did not see any with knobs that I could turn for less than $10k. They all had the plastic covered membrane buttons.

         I don&#x27;t know the US but in the UK quite a good thing is to go to Argos and select the cheapest stuff which usually lacks fancy buttons etc. Like here&#x27;s an oven for £128 <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.argos.co.uk&#x2F;product&#x2F;9418569" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.argos.co.uk&#x2F;product&#x2F;9418569
