The only thing I have ever heard about Bosch major appliances is that people hate them.
I don't know where you've heard this. As a European when I hear Bosch I think reliability and quality. I'd much rather buy a Bosch dishwasher/washing machine over any other brand, wifi or no wifi.
I love my Volkswagen which has plenty of Bosch parts in it.
I don't hear about Americans with Bosch appliances very often, but every time I've heard (I suppose until today) it was a very negative review. Maybe the American versions are different, or perhaps I've just run across a few dissatisfied people randomly.
Their washing machines and dryers are best in class IMO. At least in Europe they still have a reputation for quality.
