An appliance having a drying chamber for performing a drying cycle, a capacitive sensing arrangement within the drying chamber and configured to generate an electric signal indicative of a degree of humidity of a load contained in the drying chamber, and a control unit arranged for carrying out at least one among: estimating a mass of the load; estimating a residual humidity of the load; estimating a residual time to the end of the drying cycle, and detecting an end of the drying cycle according to the electric signal.

A washing machine appliance or agitator may include an impeller base and an extended post. The impeller base may define a rotation axis and include one or more impeller fins and a mating collar. The mating collar may be disposed radially inward from the impeller fins and extend along the rotation axis. The extended post may be removably attached to the impeller base to rotate therewith. The extended post may include a base body, an auger fin, an overmolded bottom bracket, and a connector bolt. The base body may extend between a bottom end proximal to the impeller base and a top end distal to the impeller base. The auger fin may extend radially from the base body. The overmolded bottom bracket may be disposed on the base body. The connector bolt may attach the extended post to the impeller base.
