Series 5 Washing Machine WW80TA046TH/EU Wash Cycle Time

[Beechtree]

Could anyone tell me if the total wash cycle time can be reduced on this washing machine other than the 15min quick wash?

The manual gives a minimum cycle time of 2hrs 25min for a cotton 60 degree wash. But can this be reduced to say 1 hour by using any other settings?

Thanks.

Yeah, if the settings are on your particular model , try the 'mixed load' and if available set it at 60c - the recommendations are for 2kg or 4kg instead of 8kg but the time should be reduced to around 1hr to 1hr20mins something like that. - even if you put more than 2kG of laundry in the drum if the clothes are not heavily soiled you might find that they wash still perfectly well on a shorter wash even if the mixed wash says you cannot use more than 2kg in the drum - try it out.
Obviously if the items are heavily soiled or really dirty then you will need a long wash.
