All I want is a machine with a button to start it washing, a large amount of water to be used (so that the clothes actually become wet - I consider this an important part of the clothes washing process, but it would appear that modern washing machine designers don't agree with me), and as high as possible spin speed (everyone knows that the high speed spin bit is the best bit).
In summary it needs three controls.
- a start washing now button
a stop in XXX Minutes button
a button marked very fast spin.
I wouldn't go for all that rotary dial business - a prime example of far too much control offered.
Anyway, enough about my ideas, what about the professional designers - they love rotary dials, and dreaming up as many options and names for fancy wash cycles they can.

I kid you not... I 'snipping tooled' it from my own PC screen.
What are they thinking of?
Following the recent fuss in the US over keyless cars that don't switch themselves off when the driver walks away form them,
and legendary cases such as the drying of pets in inappropriate kitchen appliances and crashing your RV because you believed that being in cruise control meant you could leave the driving seat and go into the back to brew coffee...
I can only see this ending badly!
