Never read CR but heard very unimpressive opinions.
It can be quite rough if one starts "Sanitize" with max soil level - it's 1.5h of aggressive tumbling in *HOT* water.
Even normal goes up to well over an hour total with higher soil levels.
Stain Treat as true profile wash proven semi-successful.
Heavy Duty, Normal soil, hot; Fresh Rinse, Max Fill, Stain Treat selected
1:05 start of wash, filled with 65F water
:55 - 72F
:45 - 82F
:36 - 92F, end of wash, drain.
If max soil was selected (and maybe Max Fill off) am positive the machine would have reached the 120F considering it's approx 1 degree a minute.
BTW, it spins for 16 mins on Heavy Duty, other cycles are 5 mins (Delicate 2 mins).
