So I've always used older models and this was my first to have a new dryer. I will say I'm not used to the sing song when it done but it's nice actually, because I can check to make sure all is dried and if not run a shorter cycle on it. Just like the washer, this also has a fast dry cycle, really convenient too when in a crunch and you need it vs waiting an hour. I do like the filter check, something to get used to for sure. The wrinkle release and damp dry is something I'll use quite often, more so with heavier clothier and comforters.
