Nor would most
consumers care. Longer cycle times is a negative selling point.
I can tell you several people I know say keep your older machines over high efficiency ones for that reason alone.
Sort of like a water saver shower head vs. a non saver. If it takes longer to shower and rinse off, how is it saving? Now lower amperage draw and or some water use over several households may add up to real energy savings, but it's an inconvenience.
Then again, using ten amps for an hour, or 20 amps for a half hour. or a gallon per minute for 5 minutes vs a half gallon per minute for 10 minutes is apples to oranges.
