Kitchen Appliance recommendations?

My other half is dragging me kicking and screaming through a kitchen remodel. I care more about function than form so I'm not putting up too much of a fight when it comes to the layout and cabinet choices and all that fun stuff. I do get to pick the appliances though!

Is there any advantage to having smart appliances in one's kitchen? I mean, we're just talking dishwasher fridge stove and microwave. We haven't had any smart versions of those before, but maybe I'm missing out? I would love to hear from some of you fine folks who have smart appliances in your kitchen and whether it's worth it.

I am already running home assistant and have Zigbee stuff over the place. Bought an LG smart washer later last year but because it required internet connectivity I never really set it up.

TIA!!!! 🙏
