    Wait: Do the times listed on the screen of your washer/dryer actually reflect reality

    My dryer will say it’s got 20 minutes remaining for like an hour and a half. And yes, I clean the lint screen and vent regularly (all the way up to the roof!).

      Washers usually give better estimates than dryers. How long something takes to dry depends on the material used. The washer doesn’t care about anything but weight.

      You don’t really need an accurate timer. If it says 2:30, just set an alarm to 3h and you’ll be fine most of the time.
