What filament drying setup works best for you? Sunlu vs dehydrator vs tote?

Let’s keep this one simple and practical. Sunlu dryer, food dehydrator, or sealed tote with desiccant. If you’ve tried more than one, which ended up being the best value, and which one felt like a waste of money for your needs?

What’s your typical environment, like humid garage, air conditioned room, or basement, and how did that affect your choice? If you have a quick routine you follow, like drying before every long print or only drying when you hear popping and see stringing, share that too.
 
If I start hearing popping or seeing random stringing, that’s when I’d probably step up to a dryer or dehydrator. Right now I’m treating the tote as a cheap baseline that at least keeps spools stable.
