I would recommend the medium size as the smallest to go. I went in with my sister and mom in getting it and we now wish we spent a tiny bit more on the Large size. Also pay the extra and go for a oil less pump, as some issue are coming up with the oil pump. Some are breaking down and some people are having problems finding the oil for their pumps. Buds will come out feeling like styrofoam and so I would throw them into a paper bag to regain some moisture over a 2-5hrs. They still come out feeling like styrofoam but the smell/taste is just amazing. It’s dried and cured in only like 17-20hrs. Go the 20hrs if your buds were just washed, especially the big gals. I did have a few buds that didn’t completely finish their dry as the sublimation process didn’t finish properly. Had some bigger buds still with frozen stems inside which needed more time back in the FD, and you need to wait an hour before you can restart the drying. My big downside in some ways is that they don't shrink and need extra jars/containers for your harvest. I’m like 5 dozen plus jars and 20+ 1G food saver bags for my outdoor harvest.

still, I can’t argue with the results i got with this first go with the machine. Dried weight result worked out better then my old paper bag drying method too. My outdoor harvest yielded 5.3lbs dried from 8 plants and 3 smallish clones I grew

Thank you for that rundown. That sounds like a great way to get your outdoor outta the way.
Yeah, the oil driven pump is a little weird to me in something that is basically going to be in a kitchen. I read about the oil less, quite a bit more in a cost. In a few years, the cost of these will probably be down. I'll have to mull this one over. Thanks again

no problem. The one, well 2 things I forgot to mention is that the pump/machine can throw off a bit of heat in the sublimation process. Have ours in the basement and kind of got my tent a bit warm, especially during the warmer months. Plus the pump gets a little loud during that period as well. Good luck with whatever way you go with this decision
