Normal cycle stain removal: 99.9% · Tough cycle stain removal: 99.7% · Express Wash cycle time: 74 min · Normal cycle time: 2 hr 40 min · Tough cycle time: 3 hr

On the Normal and Tough cycles, the KDTM404KPS put up some really impressive numbers, removing 99.9% and 99.7% of stains, respectively.
The KDTM404KPS achieved all of its impressive cleaning performance while remaining very quiet.
We clocked the Express Wash at 74 minutes. We’d expect something closer to 60 minutes for this type of cycle, especially considering the results were below-average.
