Washing Machine with shorter wash times?

[Buster57]

Hi all we are in the process of looking to buy a new washer,we have at present a Hotpoint ultima 7kg (4-year old) and we are wanting something on similar lines as to wash cycles times and spin speed (1600) we also want if possible for the washer to be able to be programmed by the user and not the machine in regards to the spin speed temp and length of the cycle (30m-1hr).

Most makes we have looked at have ridiculous wash times. Up to 3hrs wash cycles and set max spin speeds for different wash cycles that can have the spin reduced, but not increased and some don't give any times.

Most washing machines now take a long time to wash ( why are wash times so long? )
