Siri set a timer for *looks at washer screen* minutes
My dryer will straight up lie to me and say “20 minutes” for anything between 0 and 60 minutes. I think it realizes the clothes are still too damp and just keeps running, but whatever differential equation it’s using to predict time remaining seems flawed.
When that happens to me, my solution is to pause the cycle, clear the lint screen, and resume. Lint screen is always cleaned before a cycle, but sometimes a single load produces enough lint to be a problem.
And having written that out, now I want a notification from my dryer when it’s not making progress as fast as it expects…
My dryer timer is reasonably accurate, but on my washing machine the last two minutes are like the last two minutes of a football game.
Yep - ours seems to take 0-10 minutes longer than it predicts at the start.
My washing machine is a liar, I'll start a 3 hour program and in 10 minutes it'll say 2h20min remaining. Sometimes I check up on it and it says 20 minutes remaining, but it then takes another 30-40 minutes until it's actually done.
You are still dependent on a smart gadget but with less quality.
