CAFE by GE for those who are wondering.
We are renovating our house including all new appliances. I have told my partner to make sure we get non smart appliances. This is why.
Yes I can setup a VLAN for it to be on but that's not the point.

At least an integrated modem wouldn't set my local network at risk. They might still collect sensible data with microphones, cameras and share usage profiles etc. But from my perspective that's at least technically decoupled from other devices.
Not if these appliances come with Mesh networking capabilities (something commonly found on IoT devices). Technologies such as Mesh allows devices to connect between them, essentially forming a "mesh" of interconnected devices.
That's a valid point indeed.
