Here in Ireland and based on my time living and travelling in Germany I'd say in most of Europe, its hard to get a microwave that isn't just wattage and timer.

Here in Ireland and based on my time living and travelling in Germany I'd say in most of Europe, its hard to get a microwave that isn't just wattage and timer.
Here except for a few things like phones and tvs, smart electronics aren't as easily available as my home country, India.
I speculate this is perhaps related to the age of the population.
- jacobush 6y agoRather, richer markets are pickier.
- devnonymous 6y agoI'm not too sure about that because if that were true the online shopping experiences in these richer markets in Europe would be better than India which is quite demonstratively not the case. Hence my assertion about correlation with age of the population.
- kossTKR 6y agoHow is online shopping in India better than in Europe?
- devnonymous 6y agoThe UX tends to be more sophisticated. The mobile experience is way better. The payment options are many and well integrated. The choices are better. Search is better. Delivery (time as well as tracking) is better.
- mrmonkeyman 6y agoUh, no.
- fluffy87 6y agoWhy Edge? Being “critical” about products depends on how educated a population is. I just asked to a bunch of friends (we are having breakfast in Europe) if they know about smart microwaves. They all know they exist, but asked “why on earth would I want that?”. They just want two knobs to set time and power. The discussion now moved to smart Toasters, where everybody just wants one knob... In my experience, people here buy stuff either because they need it, or because they find it really cool and just love the technology. I don’t know anybody that finds smart microwaves or their technology cool. Same applies to smart toasters or smart TVs.
