And with laundry machines there's never a standard. Like dishwashers always work generally the same and most brands will clean about the same. For laundry it's all across the board. The side loaders never clean or dry as good as the top loaders. Some brands take longer than others, or have different options.
Plus I hate that with clothes every type of fabric has a different type of cleaning too and not all laundry machines have those options. Like oh I need this thing washed on cold water on a hand-dry equivalent setting but my machine doesn't have that for cold water and only does it on hot water. Stuff like that. And I hate that even combination washer/dryers never seem to operate at the same time. The dryer always takes longer or the washer might take longer because of different settings. I'd honestly love if they both took like 90 minutes just because it would mean I can do a few loads in quick succession, rather than letting the wash sit there while the dry conitinues for 45 more minutes.
edit: Like if I want to do the dishes, there are some dishes I might need to hand dry but I think all "normal" dishes just go in there and you just turn it on and let it run. I never need any special settings and I don't need to transfer to another machine because my dishwasher does some drying.
I don't have a dishwasher. I haaaaate doing dishes.

Yeah my last place I lived didn't have one and it was such a chore. My new place has one and it's really nice but it still sucks with how long it takes. I haven't timed it but it's like 2 hours even on the quick option
