[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, to the PP who said it takes 1 - 2 hours per load, is that for wash and dry or just wash?  That seems like a really long time! [/quote]

That was me, and that was for wash only.  Normal wash takes about 58 minutes.  If you add in prewash and stain treatment it'll take up to 2 hours.  There's a Power wash that can take 2 to 3 hours depending on if you run it on hot or warm/cold.  There is a rapid wash setting that's only 30 minutes if you need something clean in a hurry.  But like I said the dryer makes up for it:  normal dry is only 40 minutes, and half the time- depending on the load size- the clothes are done around 30.  If I have to wash something that needs the Power wash or prewash/stain treat, I'll load the washer and set it to run around 4 in the morning.  That way when I wake up at 7, it's done, and if for some reason I can't get to it right away, it has a fresh spin cycle that will occasionally rinse your clothes to keep them from getting musty for up to 12 hours.   I don't use that cycle very often.  Unless my kids have thoroughly destroyed their clothes, I stick with normal wash.

With the top loader normal wash starts at 59 minutes, soak and pretreat adds an half an hour to that.  The dryer takes around an hour on medium to get things dry, and often times, I have to give it another half an hour because the load size is so much bigger.
