Filament Dryers (self.3dprinting)

So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it's picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.

What's the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who's fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?

I have the Sovol 2 roll dryer and it works well. Only complaint is the touch display, needless. I print in my garage, mostly due to the particulate matter from FDM, so I usually dry my rolls before a print.
