I am looking for a domestic washing machine that does a 60 degree quick wash (60 minutes) but can’t find this information in the specifications on any of the appliance websites. Can anyone recommend a washing machine wit this facility please?

Query about finding a washing machine with a 60°C one-hour quick wash

The problem
The poster wanted a domestic washing machine that offers a 60°C quick wash of about 60 minutes and could not identify this from retailer specifications.
Likely cause
No specific appliance fault was discussed. The accepted reply indicates that quick-wash programmes generally do not heat the water much and are not intended to provide a full 60°C normal wash performance.
What fixed it
No specific washing machine model was recommended. The accepted advice was that quick-wash cycles are generally unsuitable for normal washing, and that modern machines tend to use longer, lower-temperature programmes to reduce electricity use. The exact model or programme meeting the request was not confirmed.

Quick washes don't usually heat the water up much at all. That's why they are inappropriate for normal washing and won't clean properly. Modern trends are to use less electricity so all wash cycles take a long time at lower temperatures. The quick washes are usually very poor at washing and only fit for refreshing very lightly worn items.
