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.

I feel you. The moment I see a "smart" product, I walk away. With that in mind, I stick to the most basic of home appliances. Given that you are in the EU, you might wanna consider something like Gorenje - a Slovenian company, they make plenty of "smart" appliances but they also offer the good old analogue stuff. All my appliances at home are from them, nothing smart, nothing wifi connected, awesome build quality, good looking, reliable and an awesome value for money. Oven, fridge and washing machine combined set me back less than 2k. The downside in my case was that the ones I got were not the most efficient in terms of electricity but I can live with that.
