Mechanical kitchen timer will suffice. You usually know the duration of most used programs. Doesn't need a hundred taps in the phone to get it working. Mental effort to set the timer is lower than with phone timer. You dial it and carry in a pocket. Zero distraction when you set it up or get notified -- you won't sink into the timer scrolling for half an hour. And in the end you'll get the notification.

- msrenee 3y agoI was wondering what was going on in their life that the alert sound from the washer and dryer weren't sufficient for the purpose. My GE dryer sings a happy "laundry's dry" song when it's finished. You're right though, this way is more fun.

- culebron21 3y agoA big house, with a separate room for laundry machine, I guess. Or maybe it's in the basement.
- msrenee 3y agoMine's in my basement and I hear it fine. I'm sure plenty of people on this site have bigger houses than mine though.

- theshrike79 3y agoI would need to remember to set the timer every time. This solution is fully automated.
