There is nothing like the slow, gentle, rythmic hum of a Maytag with helical drive. The gentle speed oscillations are better suited to my needs. I find 10 minutes a bit long and gratefully there is the warning 60 second pause before hitting the revolutions. Never made it 10 minutes and wonder why so many compalin about the short wash cycle on Maytags. Perhaps you should change additives if you're not satisfied by the end of the cycle
