Aren't all washed cycles the same time? Can't you just use a timer? That's what I do. My washer always takes 44 mins

My washer has this 'Eco' mode, that is supposed to optimize time, water, and energy usage based on load weight and how dirty my clothes are. It finishes anywhere between 30 to 50ish minutes. Same settings an d all.

Then you set your alarm to fifty minutes ? Surely the max twenty minutes the laundry spends in the washing machine won’t make a difference.

>Aren't all washed cycles the same time?

No, not at all. It's not really possible unless you're using an extremely basic washer with no spin (Or a very poor spin) cycle. A lot of the reason washers are terrible at estimating how long a wash cycle is going to be is because they spend a variable amount of time balancing the clothes before the spin cycle.

My speed queen is always the same. But that might be because it's a commercial offering

[ProfessorLayton]

It's likely because of a much slower spin cycle, which is typical of commercial washing machines.

Not only does my washer have different cycle times but I get lost in whatever I’m doing and hours pass lol.
