The wash cycle takes a lot longer, 2 1/2 hours as opposed to 1 1/2 on the old machine,
but it cleans much more effectively so I guess that's OK, especially as I put it on at night mostly.

The 2-hr+ wash cycles are common among US brands.

Makers should add a manual timer that us bill-payers can control.
