This model replaces my 12 year old Bosch.  This one is even quieter than my previous very quiet model.  This one has panel lights on the front, so there is no red beam on the floor, you will need to look at the panel to see that it is on, but you can see how long is left on the cycle, so that's nice.  It also hooks up to the interweb, you can check your phone if it's running, and if so how long is left.  This one does a better job of drying plastic than my last Bosch.  All the panel buttons are back lit, except the two that you need to use, the "Power" button and the "start" button are not back lit.  I guess they think you should remember where those are, but the first time or 2 you use it, that is awkward.
