Sorry I didn't get the model that could turn off the buzzer. Heavy loads usually need to go through the process twice to get dried. If the lint tray gets too full (from one load) when you open the door bunches of lint fall to the fall. Also, small pieces of lint go out through the exhaust. Some loads need the lint tray to be cleaned half way through and then again at the end of the cycle. It is not too noisy. The large dial to select the drying cycle is hard to turn. The door must be slammed or pushed with force to shut. To open the door you need to pull hard. And maybe our floor is uneven, but the door moves to the closed position if it is not opened all the way.
