European (German) front loading washers take longer than American machines. But. They use less water and they (usually) spin faster and longer, leaving the clothing less water-logged. Which means the drying time should be a lot shorter.

A normal cotton load with water at 30 or 40c in my AEG takes about 120 minutes. After the spin cycle completes at 1400RPM the clothes are almost dry enough to wear. Ok, not really, but I'd call them more "damp" than "wet."

My AEG machine has a quick option which will lower the time to about 60 minutes if your clothing is only lightly soiled. It's also got a refresh setting which is even quicker (about 30 minutes), which is great for washing brand new clothing before wearing them for the first time.

Anyway, the wash times seem perfectly normal for this type of machine. Miele machines will be similar.
