It takes 30 minutes and does at least two rinses. However, according to the book if you choose light soil it says the cycle will be reduced by 10 minutes. I have not used that cycle so not sure if that reduces the rinse to one.
We have machined softened water and I use about 1 oz. of soap per load when I don't use the TwinDos system. I have the Ultraphase1 set to 20ML for the wash and 15ML for the Ultraphase2. That seems to be the magic number for us given how soft our water is when I use the TwinDos. |

My WCI360 was the same which was somewhat disappointing. Though honestly mine had SingleWash and QuickPowerWash, so I got 40-60min cycles regardless. Which model do you have? |

A miele wsg663. Wish I'd spent a bit more to get singlewash and powerwash (and a 1600 spin tbh). As it stands my quick cycle is cottons with short, about an hour 15 |

Easy Care with short might be a good variant as well. Or AutomaticPlus. The "New Items" cycle of you have it should be a nice short wash as well. Since you got a 1-line display model switching to 1600rpm should be easy in the service menu, but that would void the warranty. |

Ooh switching to 1600 you say? Do tell. Though I would be worried it would break immediately and then I have no warranty. I remember once reading there is hardly a difference in the actual motor between a 1400 and 1600 anyway |

On these machines, no, not really any difference. Tub construction, motor and motor controller are the same basically. |
