To be honest, I have only had 4 days with my new washer. At this point I can only say that it takes a bit to long to wash just regular loads of laundry. Even longer if you use the super water level(2 hours). I feel that's a bit excessive. One other thing I noticed was when i set the water level at auto-regular load- normal soil, that when my clothes began to wash, they weren't even wet all the way. Unfortunately that's all I've been able to get so far.
