Great video! We are about to buy new kitchen appliances. Three of the four will be non-connected but the fourth, unfortunately, only comes with “home-connect” (Bosch refrigerator). Know of anyway to disable the transmitter?
Here is a video on a smart refrigerator. Typically, this will void the warranty, so be careful of that. I would encourage you to get a refrigerator that this can easily be removed, disabled or that does not even have a transmitter.
I don’t have a fancy meter to check for EMF, but I have found that my old school transistor radio tells me exactly where the EMF sources are in my home. I get nothing but static from it near my dishwasher & new refrigerator!
Aargh. I hope I can find a way to disable these appliances. Thankfully my other major appliances are “un-smart”: an old reliable Maytag washing machine, an older Kenmore freezer, a gas dryer & a gas stove.
Hi. So are you saying there is no way to push an option and disable these things??? How frustrating. My washer keeps disrupting my WiFi connection ugh!!!!
It typically depends on the appliance. Some allow you to disable the connection. For others, you need to physically take out the WiFi antenna, which can also void the warranty.
Best to purchase appliances without any wireless transmitters in them (they still exist).
I have heard from clients that they exist. You have to work with a sales person that knows their products and have your own RF meter to test (preferably in the store). Here are my suggestions:

Do you have any recommendations on which appliances DON’T have wifi transmitters in them? We are having an extremely difficult time finding any.

And, you can buy used appliances that are a just a few years old.
