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.

The BuyItForLife subreddit is a good source for products that are high quality, repairable, and built to last.

It's not exclusively aimed at non-smart stuff, but there tends to be a pretty strong overlap between the two - so it might be worth taking a look at.

BIFL often says the same things though, when it comes to appliances they'll say Speed Queen (US) or Miele (EU).
