Some times 10 minutes does not seem like enough, and for heavy dirt or greasy clothes, I will stop it and turn the dial around again for another 10 minutes...or at least a soaking period....

WASH TIMES
I may be old school but when I invest in wash water, detergent and heating costs I almost always use the max wash time available, maybe a lower speed at times but I like my dirty clothes to be in the washing solution longer than 5 or even 10 minutes.

I agree! I want my stuff clean.

The enzymes in the detergent are all done after 5 minutes anyway.
I'll give a load of jeans 7 minutes or so. The only load I wash for a full 10 minutes is white underwear. That way the enzymes are done by the time I add the bleach at the 4 minute mark.

Enzymes
I recall reading a report somewhere that the optimal time for enzymes was between 45 minutes to an hour to completely get the benefit from them.

Kenmore's Enzyme Soak cycle was 30 mins, followed by a 4-min prewash.
“The PowerFin can be very hard on clothing especially if loaded heavily”
That may be true if it’s jammed full, but since I usually loosely load my Maytag A806 and A606, never have had a problem with anything getting damaged or showing excessive wear.
