If it was a dryer I could understand it from a functional standpoint, I feel like my clothes are rarely dry after the first cycle so it would be cool to be able to start the second without needing to be in front of it. But I’m both stretching and lazy
I use it as a notification as well. When is the last time you cleaned the vents and lint trap?
Lint trap literally before every load. I was instilled from a young age with the absolute fear of a fire starting from the lint trap. Real or imagined, that shit stuck in my head to this day.
That's cool. The real money is in the vents. At my old house, the dryer was terrible when I first moved in. The vents were pretty much packed with lint. I had the lines replaced without all the undulations the old one has. And then twice a year, I'd pull back the dryer, jam a leaf blower in and blow all the crap out.
