You know, This kind of shit happens so frequently anymore that if you're dumb enough to buy things that, for absolutely no reason, requires an internet connection and/or an app.. Then you deserve what you get.

It's sometimes hard to find, I needed a new stove, all the ones I could afford and that had what we needed had a fucking internet connection. I fucking hate it.

Find a scratch and dent place near you. Thats pretty much where I get all my appliances. Often the cosmetic issues are not even noticable, and if they are, they are often in a place that you wont see since they'll be hidden by cabinets or what have you.

I'm quite remote, there aren't very many options where I am, otherwise that would have been a great option. But whatever it was, it would have had to be compatible with propane which makes it a bit trickier.
