It will recalculate the time needed and may take an extra hour or so if you decide you really need to fill up the drum.  I had expected to be able to do more clothes and in essence I am doing less wash taking more time.  The latest problem is washing flannels and fleece.  If you try to wash it on a shorter cycle ofr delicate it will come out sopping wet!!  tHE HIGH REVS MAKE THE CLOTHES VERY TANGLED AND A TRUE MESS TO TAKE OUT.  </p><p>I have the machine on the second floor and in doing reasearch they said this is very quiet.  It is quiet however when the wahser spins the whole house shakes.  I have tried using shake away pads but it really hasn't helped much. ...</p>...
