that is my house! I liberally use do not disturb rules during the workday (I wish I could also gate the notifications to when I'm actually home -- an alert that the washer is done when I'm at the office isn't very helpful!)

or forgetting to set a manual timer when you start the load.
I also have these hooked up to our Google smart speakers and displays, so half a dozen things throughout the house announce when the loads are done as well. (might be overkill)

my units are almost 8 years old, I don't know if they even have an AI wash cycle. loading any cycles from the app is super tedious and annoying so I never do it. I just want the notifications!

I generally agree with those that are tired of every appliance getting questionably useful "smarts", but I legit love getting a push notification when our washer or dryer is done. now it's also including tips based on local conditions, which is neat! (it was really humid out today)

I was in the mid Atlantic DMV area last week and it seems like Walgreens is really popular there. so many people wearing hats with the Walgreens logo on it!
I'd rep Duane Reade myself but I can't find a hat with the logo on it
