My old machine was ok but seemed to take a long time to dry things.  What I like on my new Electrolux:  The interior light.  The easy-to-handle lint trap that catches more lint than old-style traps. Clothing seems to dry more quickly than in my old machine, without using higher heat.  Maybe the drum is larger than the old machine?  I'm still getting used to the function choices, but they are not over-computerized (as they are in so many new machines - the ones with lots of bells and whistles that don't really upgrade function), and that's a plus. So far so good.
