How do you choose a washing machine that washes quickly?

You want clean laundry within 1 hour. Choose a washing machine with a full quick wash cycle. This washes a half-full drum in a short time. For example, you can wash 5kg of laundry in 49 minutes with PowerWash from Miele. Thanks to QuickDrive technology, Samsung can run a cycle in 39 minutes. AEG takes a little longer with ÖKOPower: 59 minutes. ASKO Pro Wash and Siemens with powerSpeed also take this long. With TurboWash from LG, you can wash in 59 minutes. Some washing machines even take just 39 minutes.

Almost all washing machines have a short refresh cycle of up to 30 minutes. This allows you to freshen up a couple of shirts which smell stale and are slightly dirty. The display of each washing machine shows you which wash cycles are available. Do you want to know if there's a short wash cycle, how short this is, and how many kilograms it can wash? Check the manual on the product page. The name for the short wash cycle can vary per brand.

Brands like Bosch and Siemens have a time saving button to shorten a regular cycle. With Bosch, you can shorten some cycles up to 65% thanks to SpeedPerfect. This cleans your laundry faster. Siemens washing machines have VarioSpeed which allows you to shorten the cycle up to 60%. AEG has the 'save time' button, which cleans your laundry faster as well. There are other brands that have this as well.
