Why are washer minutes and dryer minutes not the same?

If you read the post before this, you know that I have been doing laundry today so that I don't fall too far behind. I started the washer and dryer at the same time. Within the same minute or two. They were set for the same time. The cycles were the same time length. But the dryer finished 15 minutes before the washer. Make it make sense?! It's like football time and real time.

I use the washer and dryer of my dad, and half the time I don’t let my things finish drying. The dryer makes the worst noise that even my partly deaf father can hear. It drives us all nuts.

Chris mom's dryer is super hot, and I always set it it to low heat and then have to run it again. But at least our stuff doesn't shrink like it had been.

It's probably cause the dryer eats all the socks. That changes the time lol

Some of these gadgets have a sensor that senses when they are dry and cuts down the time.

That wasn't the point. Cause they weren't dry when I stopped it .

You can still do it? How did you end up in Daytona from Lativa? and how long have you been in the states?

My washer will say it has five minutes to go and 10 minutes later it might finish. Very strange.
