    On ours, the display says 220 for the normal mode. No idea if that's 2 hrs 20 mins, or 220 mins, which works out to be 3 hrs 40 mins I think. It's a pretty new bosch. Is yours accidentally stuck on an intense setting or something? I'll put a load on now (thanks for the motivation) and let you know if it's 2 hrs or almost 4 hrs. Five hours does sound like quite a long time...


    ETA: Well, a glance at the display shows it actually says 2 hrs 20 mins.

    Mine does a quick load in about 45 mins. A normal load in 1hr 15 mins. Heavy duty (saucepans etc - everything here goes in the dishwasher lol) is about 2 hrs.

    Five is definitely too long. Hope your REA gets back to you soon!

    Our heavy duty wash takes 2 hours. I REALLY stack mine, so I use it less often, so that's the only function I use.

    Hope they get back to you soon

    We have different options on ours - from fast 30 mins - to heavy 70 mins.

    Whoa..5hrs is definitely not normal.
    We have different cycles on ours and economy setting as well. So anywhere from 39min up to 2hrs for really dirty things (I have never used this setting).
