the "cotton" (delicates) program on this machine is a 3hr 4min program by its own preset, so usually stuff like bedding or softer clothing, or generally just things that I want to be washed same-day (that also won't survive one of the more rapid washes, or just requires an actual thorough wash) because it'll prevent me doing something otherwise. Issue is the machine is constantly recalculating how much time is left, seemingly based on stuff like the temperature or weight of the load or something like that, so when it starts on 3 hours, it can be four hours until it's done in 30 minutes, and then it sits on the last 5 minutes for over 45 minutes. I've waited six hours for my bedsheets, a blanket, and some pillowcases to wash before! It truly is one of the washing machines of all time.
