Is it the cheapest in its range? I'd be surprised if it is. Microcontroller based controllers, are so much cheaper to make!

Sorry, the specifications and price don't mean much to me, as they're in US units.

Yes, the cheaper ones are electromechanical.  If you want digital, you pay more.

That's surprising. I suppose there may be other factors I haven't considerer: the timer is only a small part of the machine and software development?

Is this just in the US? I haven't looked at washing machines before. Most of them in the UK are font-loaders and have digital controls.

"Just in the US?"  Good question...don't know.  As to SW development...as I am sure you know...that cost is in the development bucket and is not directly attributed to per-unit costs.

I, like you, feel like the digital solution would be cheaper.  Perhaps it is just marketing.
