I have the sunlu one which was around £35, seems to work quite well. Couldn't believe that the PETG I bought was 58% humidity when it arrived, sure enough it did spit and split until I dried it to 20%ish, worked perfectly afterwards.
I'll probably buy another one at some point.

Ah thanks, do you know what model one you have?
I might hold out to see if one comes up on Black Friday anywhere.
If you're in the Bambu eco system then the AMS HT is always an option
I didnt even know about that, is that a single standalone unit that dries but also would allow my A1 mini to print another colour?
I started out with the Creality Filament Box Pro drier for my P1S, which is a single spool machine. Very simple to use and did the job - however the viewing angles on its LCD were poor and since I had it situated on the floor (at the time) I had to bend down to see the display. I have this stashed away when it's replacement below dies.
I then realised I really needed a twin drier so I grabbed the Creality Filament Pi Dryer Plus unit. It has a waaaay better display that annoyingly has pressure sensitive buttons so a bit finicky in use. Functionality wise both machines did the job well and both are frequently on sale.

Standalone unit that dries (including ABS and stuff that needs a higher temperature) although needs the AMS Hub on A1 series printer.
I don't think it allows a 2nd colour, as I think it would replace the existing external spool (but I may be wrong)
AMS Hub - A1 Series

(It is forward/cross compatible with all the "bigger" printers e.g. P2S etc so if you did upgrade later it's still compatible)

Ah ok, ill have to take a look at that! Thanks for the suggestion
@Armageus do you use the HT? Need to grab a dryer and plan on adding the HT to a future A1 upgrade, if I grabbed to HT now can it be used as a standalone dryer?
Thanks mate, guess I'll need to get that upgrade sooner....

I just use the cheap single spool Sunlu dryer, does the job no problem and has been reliable.

Received my Bambu Labs PETG Mystery Box today
1 Yellow Refill
1 Grey with Spool
1 Matte Avocado Green with Spool
1 Translucent Light Blue with Spool
£32.99 paid, £46.47 value
Have you any ideas what to print with the Yellow spool?
I bought 2 if them with the intention of printing a Minion, but changed my mind.
Need to use them up.
We've a genuine need for yellow at work as have been using it for printing our own bespoke CCTV related signage, so we get through plenty anyway.
However we've also printed some of these in various different bright colours, to hold our little "fun" prints (key rings, coasters, ducks etc) that staff can help themselves to when in our office.
