This is my first electric dryer.  I  find the boost option very useful to drying time.  This is a big help, although it might not be as energy efficient.  However, time is precious.  I especially like how easy it is to clean the lint from the first decent lint collection or shield filter as it is identified.  The steam cycle does seem to make the sheets less wrinkled and
 soft.  I hope the dryer continues to perform well.
