Every dishwasher I've seen has a time-delay feature. Regardless, if this is a Miele, it will be so quiet that it definitely won't prevent anyone from sleeping. And isn't the dishwasher supposed to dry the dishes itself?

I totally forgot that feature existed.

My wife starts work earlier than me, so goes to bed sooner, but takes a shower before bed. She often asks me to start the dishwasher after she finishes showering (So the water temp in her shower doesn't fluctuate while the dishwasher fills), and then I forget all about it.

I need to just hit that Delay button.

I had to chuckle at that too, my dishwasher is almost too quiet, I can barely tell if it's on without listening to it closely it looking at the controls.

Time-delay does not require remote control at all.

on the other hand I'd rather pull my nails out than input a start time on a washing machine or oven. The UI are always atrocious for this.

It is super easy on all I have seen. There is button which adds either 30min or 1 hour (depending on model) to delay when I press it. That is it, press it until delay is what you want.

> press it until delay is what you want.

yes and then it accelerates and you go over the time you wanted and you have to wait for a whole 24:00 loop to reach the correct time again

That did not happened to me. Not even once. Also, the one who had 30 min delay shift reset after 12 hours. Which was sufficient literally every time. Also, you can turn it on and off which resets delay to 0 too.

I mean this 100% seriously: this is super easy to configure. No reason to fiddle with wifi, phone, app nor website.

Is this a real problem? You generally need 1-4 clicks, do you loose count?

Mine is just a dial that you turn until the correct hour. Like increasing or decreasing the volume

I know it doesn't negate that use case in the moment, but it's a poorly designed building where neighbors even know your dishwasher is running.
