Yes, according to the manual the standard running time is longer than older machines. It's more in the 55-60 minute catagory. My old one only took about 40 minutes, so I was a little surprised. It has to do with settling and balancing the clothes between wash phases... which is a good thing. It does a good job on getting the clothes washed and rinsed.
