Not sure if you're joking, but no, that's not the reason. At some point I hooked up an electricity consumption meter, and it was a surprisingly short timespan that the machine used for heating. The draw was around 1-1.5 kW during the heating phase.
Your machine has longer and shorter programs, my 60C wash takes about 3 hours by default while a quick was is obviously considerably faster.
- 8xde0wcNwpslOw 8y ago"Industrial" washing machines are typically faster (for reasons) than domestic ones, and the difference is pretty much that they simply use more water.
- xxpor 8y agoNope, not joking. I just know that euro machines are way slower than what we have in NA.
- gambiting 8y agoI just find this broad statement incorrect - sure, my washing machine has a default cotton program that takes 3 hours, but it has a variety of other settings which are much quicker and just as good - I always use "mixed colours" setting which takes 1:20h, or if I'm in a hurry there's a "quick" setting which takes 60 minutes - surely that's not long by any standard?
- xxpor 8y ago60 minutes is reasonable. IIRC my mixed colors setting (what I use except for bedding or towels) takes 45 min. I don't have an eco mode. Since we don't have a water heater in the washing machine itself, the only thing that would really save any electricity would be to turn off the spin cycle, but I like dry clothes so that's not gonna happen ;)
- krageon 8y agoMy "fast" cycle takes 40 minutes. How is that slow? Sure, if you set it to ultra power saving mode (in my case this is the default) it'll take hours, but that is just the environmentally conscious thing to do. Not to mention it's better for your wallet.
