Front loader cycle times
I was just about to buy a new Panasonic front loader, but decided we better research cycle times. We measured out an average load weight and the cycle time came out at almost 3 hours! Gasp! Ridiculous. I know it's the nature of front loaders, but surely there are faster ones out there. So how long does it take to do a full load in your machine? What's the brand and how do you find it? I was thinking of an LG or Electrolux but the consumer site says, one is EXTREMELY noisy and the other hammers the water pipes. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you for your responses.
