My washing machine over-estimates at first, it drops nearly an hour after it gets going. However, it will underestimate later on.
Also, it does this thing where it beeps that it's starting, doesn't do anything, then unlocks the door for a few seconds, then locks it again and actually starts. That's been a life saver for catching that one sock that got left behind and didn't make it into the drum.
Exactly. It is critical to learn what the machine means when not under time pressure.
