LG WM6700HBA front loading washing machine doing a full AI Wash Cycle with Warm/High Speed spin settings. This machine has the AI DD 2.0 system, that detects load, clothing type and soil level to adapt the cycle's drum movements, amount of detergent and cycle times.
This particular AI cycle was done with a single king size bed spread 100% cotton. I thought this was going to be a challenge for spin balancing, but it didn’t. The AI didn’t understand it was a single big item/sheet and it sometimes curled it up in to a sausage. But in the end it all came out clean and there were no odd noises or drum imbalances.
Check out the chapters/timecodes below if you are interested in some specific part of the cycle.

My comments:
Initial AI Wash cycle duration estimation 27 mins; final cycle duration about 32 mins. About 5 mins extra are due to load balancing before the spins.
The machine is on a second floor laundry room with non-tile flooring.
TurboWash is on by default for this cycle and cannot be disabled.
Soil level cannot be changed as it is sensed during the AI Wash cycle.
When the water is loaded for the main cycle, the "filtering" DD motion is used as clothes are quickly tumbled to be wet evenly with soap and water.
Before the 1st sensing of the soil level, the TurboWash sprays are turned off and used after that instead. I don't know why they are not used before the first sensing.
Balancing attempts for this particular load took, on average about 2-3 mins before each spin stage, which is, unsurprisingly, longer than usual.
During each spin, a short amount of water (about 5 secs) is sprayed in the drum to, possibly, improve rinsing efficacy.
During the drain of the rinse water, the top jet is used actively to add clean water and dilute further any soapy water still in the load.
