I occasionally do a washing load before bed that I know I might not wake up for to put into the dryer. Fortunately, my machine has an "extended tumble" cycle of sorts that will keep the clothes fresh all night at the expense of a bit more water, but while saving my bedtime routine. We end up with a lot of these nighttime loads because we're toasted all day watching kids and we prioritize laundry off-peak electricity hours. Love my Electrolux, but I imagine many brands have a comparable feature.

I use the Delay feature. It will wait to start the wash for a settable amount of hours.

Ooooh, I need to see if I have this one! There's a companion app, but I've opted not to set it up yet. Don't really need my appliances in wifi.

The equivalent on mine (a Bosch) is to wait to start anything at all until 1 cycle-time less than ten specified number of hours. Churning all night instead seems a peculiar design choice.

Does your machine not have a delayed start function? I’m standing in front of about 40 washing machines right now and they all appear to have this function.

Often a button labelled ‘Ending in’.

My Chinesium washer uses 0.4kWh per load. 4 cents worth of arbitrage.
