Talk about a very slow Washing Machine - 25-hour cycle

The CHOICE Shonky Award for a 25-hour cycle applies to the Hisense HCF8I1215HB washer-dryer combo, which was called out for taking over 25 hours when running its energy-efficient "Eco" wash and dry settings back-to-back.


Why the Cycle Takes 25 Hours

• Eco Drying Cycle: Takes 13.5 hours to dry clothes on the Eco program, which Hisense nominated to qualify the appliance for an 8-star energy rating.

• Eco Washing Cycle: Takes 728 minutes (over 12 hours) to complete the matching energy-efficient wash program used to claim its 5-star energy rating.

• Combined Time: Running both of these specialized, manufacturer-nominated eco programs together results in a total runtime exceeding 25 hour
