That's what I always want -- all of my appliances should look like the ones we got in the 90s/2000s. Some Chinese companies should take this niche or maybe not-niche field, sell at a premium, which hopefully is still cheaper than smart ones.

A friends dad sold his existing business and has been making $$$ in semi-rural texas importing and selling Chinese skid loaders. This market already exists.

Yeah but I don’t see many dumb appliances nowadays TBH.

Using my friends Speed Queen washer/dryer was such a revelation. I hate my Samsung washer/dryer.

I bought a LG one back in 2018 and so far it's working fine. I hope it can last more than 10 years.
