This is what your phone timer is for

The time on the display rarely matches the time the machine actually takes to complete in my experience, especially for dryers.

Man, I like the ancient washer/dryer in my building. Wash = 45mins (every time) dryer is 1h (every time) good old reliable tech

In my building it's exactly 2 minutes less than on the display, probably because it saves the laundry contractor money without being enough to spark complaints. It's condominiums, so complaints can cause the Board to change companies.

I think some home machines use sensors which would make the timing less accurate.
