Looks like we got lucky. My unit is a couple years old and has physical buttons, a display, and no wifi. It's been discontinued. Looking at Bosch's site now, there are no models without wifi. The cheap ones (mine was in the "300 series") now lack a display, have touch buttons and require wifi.

I have button and LEDs, and it works fine without wifi for "basic functions", but for "advanced functions" like washer deep cleaning I would need to use their website.

I just bought one and yes, mine also comes with WiFi but it's 100% optional: all features are available in menus or physical buttons too. (Including the infamous rinse cycle the blog post mentions)

It's a European model ("SMV4HAX48E", I'm in EMEA) so it might differ by markets.

You could have really helped everyone here by simply posting the model number in your original message itself.

Same, my mum got a new Bosch Series 4 last year and it doesn't have wifi at all. Everything is on the control panel.

Could you post a model number or something?
