I’m okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I’m gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don’t have to scream “Mary had a Little Lamb” at me.

My current dryer has an annoying tone for everything. Change mode? Gotta beep as you click passed each one! Oh, you wanna adjust the time and heat? We’ll make it chime with every increment instead of just when the button is pressed! Clothes done? Song of my people! Opened the door? Second verse!

Samsung? We got one used and it’s great for the drying part, but when I went to research how to change the “melody”, and I’m being generous here, to a chime or something else…nope. You get that, or silence. So we use silence and listen for the sound of it stopping. That song is terrible, and for there to be no options at all in a modern appliance…why was this a good idea on the drawing board?

Part of my wife’s rationale for getting an Ecobubble was that it played the little song, and she loves it. (Also the whole low power and water usage thing)
