      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.

      Modern machines don’t display accurate cycle times at all. They use sensors to detect when to finish.
