Hi guys
Don't know if we have had a thread about this before but was curious to see how long most people's dishwashers take to do a full cycle on a normal 65degree wash I timed mine today and it took 58 minutes from start. Is this the average? I do have mine connected to a hot feed as my boiler is two feet away. Here's my ten year old hotpoint that's never broke. Touch wood |

Omg that's really long. This is one of the things that has put me off buying a new machine. It seems ridiculous having to wait over two hours for dishes to be cleaned. Mine come out spotless every time. It's only the rare occasion I have had to re wash and that's been my fault for not loading the machine properly. My machine works off the hot feed cos I forgot to buy a Y connector and over time I just left it

We have no problem with that at all as we turn on the machine at 7 o'clock in the morning, and when I return at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it is finished. Surley, with hot water connected, it would take shorter, but I don't know if the Auto load sensors will work further at hot water connection! |

Oh, OK. Didn't know about that! But I more thought of the load sensing routine which uses the temperature increase per time during the heating stage to measure the size of the load. Is this affected by either the hot water option or a standard hot water hook-up? |

But it's still a "tall-tub" that holds a lot. 2008 model. I have timed it to be about 90 min. for "heavy-duty" cycle, 60 min. for "normal" and 45 min. for "light". I do not rinse, just scrape and load. I use store-brand detergent with a little boost of STPP. Never use heated dry, as I usually run the machine when I go to bed. Everything air-dried in the ayem.
OK, if it's something nasty-ass like a burnt-on pasta casserole or greasy roast pan, I'll soak for awhile in regular sink detergent and hot water. Then scrape, dump, and load. Done. |

Scrape the plates before you put them in? I've never done that ever I leave all sorts on lol. Never had to clean the filter either as it's self cleaning. Think I touched lucky with my machine. I know it uses just on 23 litres of water for a cycle as I have a water meter under my sink and I was curious how much it used as some newer models claim to use 7 litres a whole cycle

Bosch from 2009, cold fill.
Inital time displayed in hrs./ with speed mode / with sanitize / with extra wash for the lower basket
Intensive 70C: 2:15 / 1:30 / + 0:05 / + 0:05
auto 45-65C: 2:30 / 1:19 / + 0:10 / + 0:10
Eco 50C: 2:55 / 1:27 / + 0:10 / + 0:10
Intensive Eco 45C: 2:15 / 1:30 / + 0:05 / + 0:05
Fast 65C: 1:00
There are also Half Load and Extra Dry options but I rarely use them. The eco + speed cycle is usually 20 minutes shorter and the Fast cycle is five minutes faster than initially displayed. The Intensive cycles + speed change the water five times, which is nice. |

Light wash--50 minutes Normal cycle Average 90 minutes with sani-wash, no heated dry Heavy wash--2hrs ish with sani-wash- no heated dry Pro-scrub option adds about 20 minutes to Normal or Heavy wash, not available on Light or 1 hr wash Just scrape, never prewash, always everything comes out clean. I have been extremely happy with this machine. |

Hi robliverpool, I'd say that less than an hour for a normal everyday cycle is, by modern European standards, below average. Good to know that it still cleans and dries well in such a short time!
The Hoover dishwasher has all cycle lengths... these are obtainable by tweaking the various options... yet my favourite is the 1 hour and 10 minutes daily program at 55 degrees or the 1 hour and a half 65 degree (both with cold prewash). If there's still room left inside it, and I want to set it to go anyhow, I'd then opt for the 55 minutes cycle at 55 degrees. The shortest program is a 30 minute complete cycle, but I never use it. I always set the dishwasher before I get to bed to start an hour before I rise and shine... then, I open the door in the morning before going to work and I leave the unloading job for someone else to do ;-) |

I had an AEG Öko Favorit in the past. That dishwasher did the normal cycle at 65*C in 78 minutes.
Now I have a Miele G4210SC. It has a Turbo button, that speeds up the cycles. Automatic cycle: 2.29 with Turbo: 1.41 Glass 1.52 with Turbo: 0.39 Eco 3.00 Turbo not available Light soil 1.40 with Turbo: 1.27 Pots and pans 2.48 with Turbo: 2.06 I often use the Automatic cycle without the Turbo function. I don't use the dishwasher every day since I'm living alone. Often I turn the machine on after dinner, open it later in the evening and let the dishes dry overnight. |

My Blanco (Beko) dishwasher takes just 1 hour on the Daily cycle which runs at 60 degrees celcius. I use this cycle the most but on occasion usually after hefty cooking or if we have taken a long time to load the dishwasher I will run it on Intensive 70 degrees which takes 2:16. The Half Load function cuts a bit of time off the cycles but not much. It also eliminates the pre rinse on the Intensive cycle.
This dishwasher is one of the best I have ever used. Very rarely do I have to re-wash anything even after being loaded by my less than careful partner lol.. Matt |

Mine takes about 2:30 hrs or a little bit less. It depends on the water temperature on each fill. |

On these newer Dishwashers that take longer to wash dishes, The Water Pump uses significantly less power & energy to operate, as well as much less water (to fill up with). And Since there's less water, there is less water for the heating element to heat up, plus, there's even less water being drawn from your Hot Water heater, meaning even less of an electric bill.
They do take more time (because there washing one rack at a time) but, I can attest, they are saving money. Probably about 10-20 cents worth a load, vs previous machines. |

This is from our latest consumer magazine's dishwasher test. It gives power, water and time consumption values for the tested cycles (Eco, Sensor and a fast cycle for capable of washing a full load).
Bosch Eco: 3:19 hrs. - 0.69 kWh Eco + Speed Perfect: 1:07 hrs. - 1.36 kWh
Miele Eco: 3:19 hrs. - 0.81 kWh Eco + Turbo: 1:31 hrs. - 1.25 kWh |

Mich they might save you money on heating the water or using water.BUT these new machines don't last like the old ones not even close.My Brothers Whirlpool runs for 5 hours this just runs the machines in the ground.When you add it up replacing a dishwasher every 4 years instead of 15+ years like they used to.I think in the long run it costs more because, more of them are going to the dump.I am talking about normal price dishwasher's Miele is a different story.I have a K-Aid KDS-21 and a KDS-20 and the normal wash cleans great on them and is done in less than a hour. |

isn't BOL, but it's certainly far from TOL. It's from 2005, so it's over 9 yrs old now.
I always use pots & pans because it rinses twice instead of once. I use hi-temp wash, no heated dry, and it's about 90 minutes.......I think normal wash is 70 minutes with no heated dry. It also has light wash and rinse only but I've never used those so I dunno. I never use heated dry because the dishes are almost dry if I open the machine right away after it's done and let them dry for about 30 min's. |
