Hmm. My kitchenaid dishwasher from that time period has an express cycle. Maybe it wasn't a new model at the time?

You should double check if the express cycle actually attains the same cleaning performance, because that would be pretty surprising.

I did see examples when shopping that were in advertisement only. i.e. the 'express cycle' skipped something, the drying stage, or rinse stage(s), etc.
