SR300 vs SR340 vs SR500

I know there is the SR700 that could be compared but I'm not interested in data logging, if I was I would mod out my popcorn popper. I also am not interested in spending the time, nor the money for a frankenstine unit, to build up the automation portion of the popcorn popper. I have listed the main comparison points of the 3 units in question, I think i'm leaning towards the SR340, I'm not too sure if the L/M/H switch for the heat control is worth the extra money, but then again its only a $30 cost increase which is marginal at this price point. Is the variable heater control something that many of you guys use? SR-300 SR-340 SR-500 Price $130 $150 $180 Load Size 3.5-4.5oz 3.5-4.5oz 3.5-4.5oz Heater Control On/Off On/Off L/M/H Variable Fan Control No Yes Yes Timer Yes Yes Yes

It is in this section post #50. https://forum.hom...post_58024 Edited by MPSAN on 07/01/2017 9:55 PM "If it Ain't Broke, Fix it 'til it is"!

Haven't roasted those beans specifically, but here's what I'd try as a starting point. Use 3 scoops of beans (about 90g). Set temp to LOW and fan speed to HIGH. Run for 2 minutes. Set temp to MEDIUM, leave fan speed on HIGH and roast for 5 minutes. Enter cool cycle at that point. That should put you near your desired target. Then empty your roasted beans into a colander to cool to room temp. Enjoy!
