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.

Our stove insists it can't implement several advertised features unless we let it at our wifi and "enable" the features. Fukdat, a stove does not need to be a network citizen, it needs to bake cookies. For me.

Then again, maybe I could hack it to host a Mastodon instance or run Doom.

Doom might be dangerous, though.

Could you provide the make/model so we can avoid this monstrosity?
