> doesn't offer any programs that soak for a noticable length of time

Again, wouldn't it be great if we could program the washing machine? A display and a couple of buttons would be enough.

Something like:

Menu ->

New program ->

(automatically assigns it a number, e.g., "14"; no need for fancy names and a keyboard, just write it down) ->

Enter first cycle ->

(gives you options like "let it soak", "rotate", "dispense soap", "remove water" or whatever) ->

(gives you sub-options like temperature, RPM) ->

Enter second cycle ->

(and so on).

I don't know much about washing machines, but it seems doable.
