Collating the reccommendations:

$2/hr: buy an automatic dishwasher, assuming the dishwasher breaks down as soon as the warantee expires, and saves 30mins/day

$4/hr: buy a smartphone, assuming it costs $1/day and gives you 15 mins of useful time per day

$7/hr: getting laundry done professionally

$10/hr: eating dinner out

That cost rating is optimistic for a smartphone I think (in the USA) although not too bad for upgrade of smartphone from dumbphone.

Does laundry really take that long? It always seems pretty quick to me.
