Sounds not so much like a Bosch problem as a retailer problem. It was the retailer that lied to you about the machine.

Requiring internet for features that don't need the internet is a manufacturer problem, no matter what any retailer says or doesn't say.

I'll grant you that, but many other manufacturers are doing that too. I avoid buying those models. If it says "wifi", I avoid it like the plague.
