The machine is quiet especially the spin cycle. No turbine noise. The "Speed" function cleans excellent. Time with me 25 minutes. Probably by the frequent change of settings during operation. One should not play around, as I have made it so. The door is locked when you start with an audible "click". The remaining duration appears rather precise At 800 rpm spin cycle and "anti-crease function" dress shirts have come back from the machine with little wrinkles. Socks losses were not to complain. The machine runs smoothly without vibrations ..
