I guess it can notify you via your cell phone when a load is done. I could see that having value.
Then again, a simple timer on your phone could do the same thing.
Wait: Do the times listed on the screen of your washer/dryer actually reflect reality‽
My dryer will say it's got 20 minutes remaining for like an hour and a half. And yes, I clean the lint screen and vent regularly (all the way up to the roof!).
You don't really need an accurate timer. If it says 2:30, just set an alarm to 3h and you'll be fine most of the time.
