Its a curious thing you know
There are often complaints about how long modern washers take to do a wash what with energy saving and water saving, but when I look back up the thread many of the washers seem to take a fair while too - the one that struck me straight away was the Servis Mk41 which is 1hr 45mins. My Miele (2004 model) takes 1hr 46 mins on its hot cotton wash and it is cold fill only compared to the H&C of the Servis. Most of the other machines seem to take around the same time.
I appreciate that many of the complaints about time taken come from US members comparing top loaders with front loaders (and let me be clear I am not making any judgement on the validity of those claims) which are not strictly comporable, but many of the above in teh thread are top loaders too using Hot or a mixture of H&C.
I suppose it may be that, with the benefit of heaters "our" hot cotton wash might be hotter than a US hot cotton wash (85C or maybe more) and with the volume of water involved that may be part of the apparently extended wash time (effectivly giving the clothes a soak) as the machine comes up to temperature. The one I will be really interested to check out when I get home to see the full report is the Frigidiare which I am guessing is about the only directly comporable model.
