Surprised to love the wifi…

This oven has been a huge upgrade in our home I keep affectionately referring to it as “our spaceship oven” to friends and family. There are some things that don’t make sense to have wifi (like my toothbrush???) but I am consistently pleased with the internet integration on this oven.
1) I bake sourdough and it’s ridiculously satisfying to get a 10 second video condensed showing my bread rising – also it automatically does the recording every time, I just have to decide if I want to download it or not. On top of that, I don’t have to open the oven door to check on my bread which means I don’t experience intermittent losses of heat during the baking process!
2) Phone/watch alerts are just amazing for my ADHD brain. I get them when my oven has finished preheating. Also when you start the oven you can actually set a cook time which means you can get a phone/watch alert that your food is done cooking too. Even better, if you don’t enter a cook time (because maybe you forgot or you aren’t sure how long it will need to cook) once it’s done preheating it starts to count upward. So if I forgot to check what time I put my food in, or forgot to set a timer, I can at least look at the oven and get an approximate elapsed time. Sounds small but like… it’s amazing.
I have a lot of products in my life with worthless wifi integration and this is not one of them. The camera thing is 9 parts fun and 1 part functional, but the alerting feature is a serious quality of life improvement (I am thinking you could probably also do an integration with any of the smart assistants and have the alert sound out through a smart speaker if you wanted). I can also imagine that if you often have that terrible “omg did I leave the oven on???” moment while away from the house, being able to check your app and see that it is indeed off might be kind of nice (or if you have kids or something and want to know when they’re using the oven etc.).
Additionally, on the subject of sourdough, the fact that it has a steam clean function makes me feel better about pouring boiling water into a pan when I throw my loaf in – since it’s obviously made to withstand steam (and honestly I was going to do it anyway because the spring on the bread is worth it). Oh and the bread proof setting is so good. I live in the pacific northwest and finding a warm sunny window to proof my bread in is impossible for 5 months out of the year.
