minus-squareViper_NZ@lemmy.nzcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoI have a front loader that takes anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on water temperature, load size etc. It may tell me 2 hours when I start it, and still be going 2 hours 20 minutes later. The dryer next to it is even worse when it comes to guessing duration, so having a notification pop up next to me is helpful.
