aeg washing machines: time taken to wash

sunnth

My indesit washing machine died yesterday and after just 2 years its only fit for the tip:mad: so I want to replace it with a better quality machine. I am thinking of a bosch wfo2466 or an aeg l62600 or l54600 all of which I can get for about £250. I am having trouble finding how long an aeg takes to wash a load. Can anyone help me to find out how long roughly they take to wash a load as I don't really want a machine that has a very long wash. I have found the bosch only takes just over an hour. Also any opinions on which would be the best buy?
Thanks.

Thanks Poppy9. I've just read through the threads and it seems both are good brands so I'm just down to how long they take to wash to decide between them.

Actually this is quite an important thing to note these days as I used to live at a place which had an Ariston and the bog standard 40 oC wash used to take about 3 hours!!!! I think this is all to do with the environmentally friendly drive these days of using less water etc.
I was also told the other day that my friends new Candy machine only has a cold water supply due to it being better for the environment if the machine heats its own water. Personally I think thats rubbish and is alot more expensive.

I think you will find that most machines now on sale are cold fill only.

We have an AEG 52600, the 30 degree wash is 64mins, the quickest wash is for wool & Silk 52mins. There is a time saver setting for shortening the wash, we use it but have never timed it. The other timings are out of the handbook.
