    Everything else aside, you need to clean your washing machine. Cloths shouldn’t be smelling like mildew after less than a day in it.

    A bit of exaggeration to make a point. :)

    Modern washing machines are also pretty quiet.

    Not when they’re a room away from the master bedroom. Having it start up in the middle of the night would be either annoying, terrifying, or both.

      Fair enough. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know you need clean them occasionally and think it’s normal for stuff to go terribly wrong really quickly. :)

      I got a new washer relatively recently and it’s quiet enough that it’s not really audible from the next room unless you tell it to do a really aggressive spin cycle with a big load.

      In any case, I think the point of the timed wash features are to make it so your laundry finishes Right when you get home rather than overnight.
