The touch screen isn't all that great, requires hard long presses to register and not super intuitive but not difficult to use either.
So far I've only used it to dry separately before putting filament in my AMS1 (which now also has a sunlu heater lid mod)... So I haven't tested printing directly from the sovol while heating, though it does have the little filament ports in the front to do that if you want.
The main annoying part for me is the venting isn't very well thought out. There is one tiny plugable hole (same size as the filament ports) meant to be used for venting the moisture as it heats but even with that open as well as the two filament ports open it's not enough to let the moisture fully escape. So you are required to prop the lid slightly open using the latch to have the humidity lower in a reasonable time. And then you'd need to manually latch/seal it after it's done heating to keep the moisture from getting back in. From what I can tell, a common issue with most budget heaters in general.
Overall though I feel it's a decent 2 spool dryer for less frequent drying needs, especially if you can get it for around $30. I wouldn't pay much more than $50 though, but unless you want to spend over $100, not a lot of other great options.

The only bit I'll agree with from the original comment is the noise. Most of these manufacturers use a tiny blower fan with no sound dampening, and the whine is annoying if you have to be in the room with them. There are easy mods you can do to fix it, though. It's no louder than most modern printers, but the pitch is annoying.
Also, for anyone buying one: the tiny vent hole in the top is nowhere close to large enough for humidity to escape properly. The humidity will just recirculate and take too long to dry. The fix: just prop the lid open slightly by resting it on the latch. With the lid slightly cracked, it dries incredibly well.
Here's a good review of the dryer. He can be a bit too technical for some people, but he's very thorough. You can just skip to the conclusion at the end for the bullet points.

You can buy a sealed box to store your filament and add dessicant to prevent your filament from absorbing water over time. This is helpful even for PLA.
