So you can trigger the washing to complete soon before you arrive home,
giving it less chance to crease in the drum. And so you can come home to
a hot but not burnt dinner?


Sigh. In the 50s that was called 'a wife'



Today its called the delay timer fitted to even the cheapest of washing
machines and ovens

There is no delay timer on any of my convection ovens.

And that is useless if you dont know what time you will get home anyway.
