Could it be that your old machine filled from the hot and the cold water supply, and the new one is cold fill only? They all seem to be nowadays and this does add time to the cycle, as obviously it has to heat the water up from cold before it starts.

You're lucky if yours only takes 115 minutes - a 40° program on mine takes two and a half hours if I want an extra spin :eek: .

I never thought of that :doh: i just didn't like the idea of it using loads of electric cos it was on for so long, that's why i was looking for a shorter cycle! I've found a 40deg one that takes 55min-i just have to give it an extra spin, so i'll use that one for towels etc i think
