I find the timing elements very confusing. I pick a cycle and the clothes aren't dry. Then I add a 'timed dry' option and they dry well. I guess I'll have to go back and read again. It shouldn't be so hard...pick heavy bedding and sheets etc. should be dry. They're not. Pick mixed load...again, not dry. Minute settings show up as 43 minutes and run only 10 or so. I don't get it. Ultimately, my clothes dry nicely, but it's a mystery to me why it takes more than one try to do this. Yes, my lint catcher is always clean. I haven't even tried the 'fancy' settings as they aren't necessary for most of my laundry. This machine is incredibly confusing!
