The whole wash was estimated 72 minutes when it started.

It weighs the clothes by inertia in the beginning, I didn’t overload, and the water (hot and cold) comes in fast through thick pipes, so there’s no excuse for this.

How dumb must the program be to estimate one minute left in the beginning of the rinse cycle with two rinses and a spin cycle to go?

The building and presumably the machine were made 2018, and the maintenance log on the side says many repairs have been made since, so the software must have been updated many times already.

  • I have the same problem with the machines at my apartment. Actually, I think it’s worse because it’s not supposed to be an estimate; you pay based on time and you set the time yourself. I set the dryer to 45 minutes and it sometimes takes up to an hour and a half. At least it isn’t charging me for the extra time.

      I lived in an apartment complex like this. Management didn’t bother to ever clean the dryer vents, so it would take for. ev. er. to dry. It’s a wonder the laundry building didn’t catch on fire.
