Why do washing machines often say 1 min left, but that 1 minute lasts 5 or more minutes?

Question

Why lie about that

In: Technology

Answer 1

I have a drier that stays on 40 minutes for a whole hour. Yes, I remove the lint after each cycle. It’s one of those highly efficient heat pump driers which take about 3 times longer to dry then regular driers but are somehow 3x more efficient.
