pandarilla Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Does anyone else have a washing machine with a completely mental timer?We thought that would be a great wee addition - but the fucking thing is nowhere near accurate. It says 1 hr 40 mins and 2 hours later the display says there's 18 minutes to go. It stays on that for a good 4 or 5 minutes, before eventually crawling down.We were waiting on it finishing today before going out and it genuinely had me shouting like a lunatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a washing machine, but our tumble dryer is like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you reading the display correctly? Does it maybe say 140 minutes? That would tie-in pretty closely with the figures you’ve mentioned in this post 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s maybe overloaded or the filter clogged, meaning the water doesn’t drain as it expects so tricks it into taking its time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's to do with either fuzzy logic i.e. the machine knows better than you how long it needs or water pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, 45 minute quick wash turns into an hour and a half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Three, the phone company. 5/6 years ago they had the best coverage in Inverness hands down but since then the other carriers, particularly o2 have blown them out the water and Three's prices are fucking Ludacris. The wife is with o2 and she has full 4g everywhere, I struggle to get a signal at all as soon as I leave our house WiFi range. I've swapped to Sky Mobile (who use o2) and the improvement in signal is tremendous and my tariff has been halved from what Three were charging me with 3 times the monthly data allowance. Three are robbing bastards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of referees have watches like that, when Celtic are losing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
