I have the Sunlu one, the OG one without the fan. It seems to work fine. It is silent... because it has no fan. I run it with its lid propped slightly open, about 1/8". Otherwise I figure any moisture cooked out doesn't really have anywhere to go.
I jiggered it to feed directly into my printer, which involved drilling a hole in the lid and threading in one of those press-to-unlock tube fittings and some Capricorn tubing. It wasn't too difficult, not least of which because my current Qidi printer would normally accept filament feed via Capricorn tubing anyway, but from its dumb rear-mounted spool holder thingy.
I use this one too. There’s a print that you can use to feed the filament through and it props up the lid but to be honest the print itself is a nightmare to get working right.
