Has anyone experience how bad the proriatary software is on such machines? For Kenwood there is an app (Kenwood World App) which apparently guides you through the cooking-process. Does anyone have a idea for how long this app or other apps from similar machines will be maintained? Does anyone have experience of using such a device without an internet connection?
I am sure that there wont ever be a simple foss app which can connect to such a device, but how bad is it? I am worried that the new Kenwoods wont be as durable as the old one I had (had it handed down, was around 30yo), because the software will be discontinued.
Looking for people with experiences with such machines and their software-side.
I mean, integrated recipies seem helpful, as it can tell you what when to add and with the scale already integrated it seems convinient. No? And some models have an integrated induction heater (up to 180°) so they can cook as well. So if you are alone and cooking a onepot or sth. you dont have to get out the pans or use the oven. I even heard of a device which is connected to a recipie database and an shopping-list-app. It seems convinient if everything is connected.
This is just another thing to break and to be monetized.
The scale and cooker feature sound useful, but the recipe DB is a stupid gimmick.
Screens and apps are just things to break. Buttons and dials last forever.
