I like it a lot man! I honestly cannot tell the difference between what it does and any of the traditional methods of drying by hang drying in cool temps or otherwise.
I've never been one to subscribe to dogma or get so stuck in my ways I cannot learn something new or adapt to new ideas. Change brings fear in some and that fear often reveals itself in ridicule. To those living that fear, fuck 'em.
If anything what people don't understand is that it's not a food dehydrator and doesn't even work like one. Might look like one but that's where the similarities end
I'm most impressed that it does not flatten out buds which has always been an issue with rack drying and why I preferred hanging over anything.
The terps, the THC profiles, the density, smooth smoke are all there and I'd welcome anybody to take the Pepsi challenge to tell me which are hung and dried slow compared to in the dryer and done in 4-5 days.
It does not turn buds crispy or dry too fast.
My PLCG dried in this machine tested at 24% THC so no loss on potency either
After testing it out and realizing it was legit, capacity was my only concern so I've modified mine with xtra racks to hold a lot of weed...

I think there I had like 5 plants loaded into the thing.
The upper green racks don't have screens so I can actually hang dry large colas in it too.
I do want to see if I can open it up and see what's all in the base. I have a feeling it's just a warm running PC fan but there could be a peltier device in there and if so, then the wires can be reversed so it uses cool air but doing that may need a drain for any condensation.
No regrets at all on this buy and I'd buy it again. And yeah ambient conditions will influence it. I think anything at normal room temp will do fine. My RH is usually around 45-70 and it does well in those conditions. Even on the low end of RH it still took 4-5 days and I haven't needed to use the shotglass of water in the bottom rack
