    My 10 year old machine can do that. No need for internet. Just set an end time. I would think basically every washing machine could do that unless you get the cheapest model around?

      I feel like every washing machine I’ve used in my conscious lifetime has had an end timer.

        On the Uber budget end it’s not an option.

        And while I haven’t been shopping for one, the few times a glanced inside the home center over the last year, they all were WiFi connected.

        Even my living room TV, if I don’t hook it up to WiFi, has an annoying blinking light asking you to hook it up.

        It’s an industry problem, not a consumption problem.
