Hope everyone had an enjouable holiday weekend, I most certainly did as the weather was great here in Indiana. 
I needed a few clothes washed for a trip we took this past weekend and so I put my Whirlpool direct drive washer on the quick wash cycle instead of my usual normal, in order to save a bit of time. I've had this machine for nearly a year and I realized that, although it's not actually much quicker, it does have a slow agitate, fast spin combination and I did not know this.
I know a lot of you are fans of the style of washing and it would seem beneficial. It is quieter, probably less wear on components and certainly less wear on clothes. Glenn/DADoES in particular seems to prefer this combination of speeds when using a DD washer. The problem is, it only goes up to 10 minutes of wash time on that cycle. Is this sufficient for most loads?
Is there really any instance under which the fast/fast combination should ever be used?
Just curious,
Ryne
