I had used my original model Z & D roaster for several years. I replaced
it with the original model iRoast. I am still using the iRoast even
though it is showing its age.
What are the current experiences with the supposedly new and improved Z
& D, Nesco roaster?

I was an earlier adopter of the Z & D roaster and never had a second
generation one that was branded as Z & D.
We were pleased Nesco chose to continue to market and support the
product -- the latch / hinge on the top cover along with the
improvement on how the chaff filter were the two improvements we
noticed right away, but I believe that was done with the Z & D 2nd
generation.
I would hesitantly say that the roasts are slightly quicker ( maybe
quicker by a max of 5 minutes ) -- but I have no data to support that.
We switched brands on the cleanser I used to use to clean the screen
and it's getting clogged a little which might be the real reason the
roasts are shorter. I hope to get Oxi-clean this week and get the
screen back to normal
We're still pleased with the roaster --

According to Sweet Maria's, the new one has a slightly more powerful
element, enough to shorten roasts by a minute or so. Still best for
relatively light roasts, but quite good for those.
Best,
