Dries things out

Great value for the price. It was a Christmas gift for my daughter.

It got to me broken. I returned it of course. But I didn't order another, because I figured it's just made too fragile.

Me parece que es buena pero se demora mucho todo tiene su manera

my first dehydrator. been using my air fryer, but it could only hold 1/2 apple at a time and apples take approx 6 hrs to dry, so wanted an actual dehydrator to be more efficient and give my beloved air fryer back for other uses.love the size of this machine as its reasonable on taking counter space. light enough I could stash it on top of fridge if I wanted. warns about keeping not setting it on non-heat resistant counters , tables, etc. the sides get warm but it is only a bit warm on my counter, so no problem.I sliced a medium apple for each of the 5 trays so as not to over load a given tray. I did rotate the trays half way thru, but didn't really see a need to do so (at least not with apples....may depend on what is being dried).the manual is very detailed except for suggesting what temp to use for different foods. I just set mine on high. the air appears to be circulating well. the machine is very quiet. I will gently hand wash the trays rather than risking them in dishwasher.so, while I am no expert on dehydrators, I am extremely pleased with this machine. looks nice on my counter , and I am sure it will get a lot of use. I am not planning on doing meats, fish, jerky or fruit leather. mostly fruits for me.

Max temp is overstated. Most I can get the temp internally is about 145F. Probable still fine for most food dehydrating operations, but if you are using this for 3d printer filament drying it may not get high enough for some materials.

I bought this dehydrator to replace an old one that had worn out. The operation is similar but I have to say, I am really enjoying the clear design of this one in comparison. Before, I was always lifting trays to check on the progress of dehydration, but with these trays I’m able to see. I don’t need to waste heat by constantly opening it to check anymore. I still do occasionally lift and rotate trays for long dehydrations but that is more out of habit than necessity. My old machine wasn’t as balanced in its drying and needed that. This machine is so much more consistent. The only thing that I wish had been included is solid trays for making fruit leather. I had some from my old machine that fit. They can be bought separately if you want them and I will probably do that to upgrade to more modern silicone. Some things I like about this machine are the adjustable temperature and number of trays included. I find dehydrators work best, the more trays I have inside, which is probably why the heat is so even in this one. The trays are dishwasher safe, which is a help, especially if making something messy like jerky. Because of the large diameter, I lay them flat on the top shelf to do so. It is a very nice dehydrator. Perfect size for pretty much everything I need. Good for making dehydrated meals for camping, preserving stuff from my garden, making jerky and fruit leathers, etc.

Great little machine. I love it.
