I mean hell, my oven died a few months ago. We don’t have gas so induction is really the only way to go.

We current had induction and didn’t want to go back to radiant

Between all the appliance stores in my area we found a single unit that was in stock. Everything else was two months out.

Unfortunately it is a smart oven. Good thing is that it just nags is about adding it to WiFi but doesn’t force it.

But either way, we had no damn choice on a new oven due to supply chain issues.

Same. Need a double convection oven to replace our failing one. Shocking how few are available without wifi.

As has been said in other threads about connected TVs, if a few companies would just make dependable, serviceable, not-effing-internet-connected appliances, i for one, would buy all their products.
