    The only time I have 2 hour cycles is if I'm doing white towels and choose the sanitary heavy soil option.
    I’m excited about the Turbowash! Curious- why an extra rinse?

    I always do an extra rinse. We have sensitive skin here and I just like to make sure ALL detergent is rinsed cleanly out. And for a FL it's not a lot of extra water to do an extra rinse. The LG allows you to add up to 2 extra rinses and I will add both extra rinses for heavily soiled loads where I use extra detergent.

    If I had a SQ, I wouldn't do the extra rinse because so much more water is used for the rinse to begin with.

    Default speed queen inputs needed

    We have the old model Speed Queen and have had it for 5 years and are super happy it. It fits a lot of stuff like the others have said. I use the extra rinse when I use bleach or I accidentally left a load of wash in the washer over night and want to do a rinse/dry cycle only. My Speed Queen cycle takes about 30 minutes. I mainly use regular wash for everything.

    We do have an Electrolux dryer and other than it being huge (front to back) it has been awesome we have had it almost 7 years.

    If I buy another front loader I will buy an Electrolux (mainly because the Speed Queen front loafers are cost prohibitive at $2000 iirc).
