65 degrees Celsius isn't hot enough for nylon or ppa-cf. hard pass
Well, technically you can, but you'd need to leave the filament in for quite a while. It will be pretty difficult to find a dryer that goes to 80 degrees near this price (at least I couldn't find one). I initially purchased the Sunlu S4 which goes 70 degrees. I was using it for Nylon but it took longer than I liked. Then I got the SpacePi X4 as it can hit 85 degrees. Then I wanted something that I can print from in my limited space so I got the Polydryer when it was on sale. So now I have 3 dryers lol. The one I would get rid of (will probably gift my nephew who just started printing) is the S4 as the Creality covers everything it can do.
Sure, but why buy a filament dryer if it can't handle most common filaments.
I'd disagree about the filaments you mentioned being the most common ones. They are from the harder filaments to print and most people starting off aren't using them. From filaments that generally need to be dried, I'd say PETG and TPU are far more common.

I have Bambu ecosystem so I went with the HT. It's obviously way more expensive than this, but it connects to my AMS system so I justified it that way. The SpacePi is a great choice and you did exactly what most people do (myself included - staring at S4 now). I just hope others don't make the same mistake of buying so many stepping stone filament dryers. Just put your funds into something that will dry everything or use a toaster oven.

BTW: Nobody ever said it dried every filament known to man.
Thanks OP for the heads up, don't need it myself but not knocking it.
