I'm not sure how true that is, but I set by VPN Dublin, Ireland and did some shopping to see what brands are avaliable.

Lot of interesting brands I ran across:

    BEKO
    BOSCH
    CANDY
    HOOVER
    HOTPOINT
    INDESIT
    LIEBHERR
    MIELE
    NORDMENDE
    NORKO
    POWERPOINT
    SIEMENS
    TCL
    WHIRLPOOL

Really surprising to my that a Bosch / Miele can be had for less than $1000. In the US, it’s hard to find anything less than $3k in those brands. I have seen some places around here sell Beko, but only in white.

There’s more of a difference than just smart/not-smart, though. US tends to have those giant two-door fridges, we usually have single-door, stacked, fridge-freezer combinations.
