How do you get a short wash cycle? It seems the speed cycle takes 50 minutes for a few towels.

If you are using the towels and sheets cycle it uses a soak cycle. Try a different setting.

I'm in Europe right now so I don't have it with me. I guess how I remember, u push ones it's for 1 min if you push twice its for 2min and if u push 3 times in a row that's the one that has no timer and u can wash as long as u want with it. That's what I think.

Gentle cycle wash, and NO HEAT or FLUFF dry (5-6 times depending on dryer) comes out perfect! Must use dryer or wont fluff up. Wash and dry alone. Enjoy :)

gees, sorry! I guess you may have a problem BUT, there are several different variations. Maybe you could try one of those. I think the smell is delicious and I can acyually smell it on my towel for a while after showering :)

there's spray cleaners with bleach. a few spritzes, rinse and you're set. (the wash machine doesn't cut it!)

You have to drench the towels & set the timer 15 minutes before you want them. It works great, but the towels wont stay hot for long. But thats typical with any towel warmer I've ever used.

It is good to get them going in hot/warm water to speed the release of soap but not absolutely necessary. For a very large or dirty load I usually soak them in hot water a bit before I add them. Some times I'll just stick them in the washer let it run a little warm water and then put the clothes in before I turn it on cold and start it so they had a minute to warm up. But actually I went a year just throwing them in the cold water load directly, I guess I just started heating them when I read something suggesting it but they always worked fine before and lasted longer. I try to make a concentrate sometimes but then I use way more than I need too and waste it because it seems weird to only need a spoonful :) do keep in mind if you get stains you will need spot cleaner, these do general cleaning well but stains need a little extra effort.

My husband uses small towels and at end of the week he throws them on the washer machine. You can buy at 99 cents store for packs of 3 or 4.

Janet, it doesn't take too long once the warmer is heated up. Like an iron or oven, you have to turn it on and let it warm up for 15-30 minutes before you put your towel in. I usually get up, turn it on, plan my outfit, make coffee, etc. then put my towel in right before I take a shower. Then after the shower it's toasty warm. Overall, I've been pleased with it.

I don't have a dishwasher so I AM the dishwasher. It takes two minutes to wash by hand!

I've used the washer and dryer. It's not as soft as it was but I think that was probably inevitable. Nowadays I can't pull it away from my daughter long enough for a full wash cycle so I just give it a quick hand wash with a tiny bit of all free and clear, rinse well, ring it out- and give it back a little damp. It air dries fast.

Hi DR....The washer has 22-44 min. cycles. You can choose the water level for very small washes as well. 2 wash/rinse each. Hope this helped...I love this unit.

No, they dry quite quickly actually. Sometimes I will want a mop effect. I have to go over the same spot about 6 times then.

Wash towels tend to sour quickly. I can just rinse these out or toss into the dish washer. They can be washed over and over again. They can not be put back on the roll once removed.

the cycle is about 10 minutes or so. the trick is to use the tower ASAP after the cycle is complete. too soon not warm, too late the condensation makes part of the towel wet and clammy and two towels in there the way its pictured is not going to work too well. all in all, i gave mine to my sister, hope she has better luck

Very quickly, less than 5 minutes, maybe. I also "recycle" them, I put 5 in my hair, and start taking them out as soon as I finish the fifth one. I put them back on the heat one by one and reuse them immediately.
