Ask HN: Any resources for finding non-smart appliances?

My washing machine broke down. I need a replacement. I must avoid getting a "smart" one though. Are there any lists of products that arent "smart" so I can know which models are viable options to buy? Or other resources? I'm based in Ireland.

Try searching Reddit, I just found some lists. I’ve given up and instead just don’t allow things on my network. My “smart” TV begs me to see the network but I just use a Roku instead. I fear it’s come to this where we have to circumvent our own devices desperate need for connectivity.

For the moment my big ass LG oled TV still works fine without agreeing to it selling my soul and listening in on my living room, but if it ever does cause issues I'll look into jailbreaking it and hooking up an external media player.
