Abstract
A method of treating a load of articles in a wash basket of a washing machine appliance includes determining a load size of the load of articles in the wash basket based on an image. The method further includes estimating a drying time for drying the load of articles in a one-step wash and dry cycle and predicting a demand for the washing machine appliance during the drying time. The one-step wash and dry cycle is recommended based on the determined load size less than a load size maximum and the predicted demand for the washing machine appliance during the drying time less than a maximum demand. The method further includes drying the load of articles in the wash basket during a dry portion of the one-step wash and dry cycle by rotating the wash basket within the washing machine appliance for the drying time.
