Best filament dryers ?

Sorry I'm sure this gets asked often, I am getting strings etc while printing, mind you I printing PETG primarily. Humidity stays around 55/60% give or take. I'm well aware that most of the hygrometers that you get from Amazon etc aren't super accurate, but it's my only reference.

Throughout my house/barn/garage/basement the moisture is roughly about the same. Although it'll spike out in the garage/barn when it rains.

I keep all of my filament in sealed with desiccants beads, same with printed desiccant holders in my ams filled. It normally takes a couple weeks before I have to swap the beads out in the ams, sealed containers last the beads last a little longer give or take.

So I'm looking into a filament dryer that others have used and had great luck with. I have a p1s with ams and a a1, sometimes if I have issues with one, I'll print with the other to see if it does the same thing. I've went through a nozzle in both machines so far maybe 500+hrs combine between both machines. It could also be that i normally just print straight from whatever file I download/get from bambu handy. I just notice when the nozzle starts to get filament stuck on it, I'll scrap it off when it's heated up and go from there. But almost seems like I have no issues when I install a new nozzle, then after 60+ hours I start to get strings and or notice it on the nozzle/insulated boot.

Thanks in advance and guidance.
