Elite Gourmet Food Dehydrator, Stainless Steel Trays Food Dehydrator, Adjustable Temperature Controls, Jerky Herbs Fruit Veggies Snacks

I bought a spinning one with five layers, and it was round. I bought it used maybe 12 years ago, and it's been busted and can't spin for the last 2 years because a bad kid decided to play with it! Since it took longer, like 12 hours to 14 hours to do the five rows of beef jerky, I chose to buy this digital one. I'm not sorry, wish I had bought it sooner. It's fantastic! I put it for 8 hours, and the top two rows and the very bottom row got heat first and finished first, so I moved around the other two. It still took about 9 hours to do all five racks, but I got a lot of beef jerky out of it. It took as little as just over 3 hours to cook the first row, which is crazy because my last one took a minimum of 6 hours. I love this thing, even though I've only used it once. Once you take the top off, even if you're just looking at the meat, it pauses the operation. Once you put it back on, it starts again immediately from where it left off. It's not very hot, but warm enough at 158°, which is perfect for creating jerky that's not too dry. It's very compact and I actually used it in my bedroom while I slept, so I didn't have to keep going down to the kitchen to check on the meat. It's not loud at all, although at times when it was first going it made some high-pitched sounds, but afterward, it was very quiet. My room smelled like beef jerky, but I could think of worse things for it to smell like! LOL. The racks are also easier to clean and are dishwasher safe, and they can fit in the standard sink, something my last one couldn't do because it was round and oversized. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves beef jerky as much as I do because it makes it quickly, especially the very thick pieces, which is what I use, cubed beef.

I am so surprised how awesome this little affordable dehydrator is. I’ve been able to use it for absolutely everything, from drying gourmet mushrooms for later cooking, fresh cut herbs and medicinals from the garden, as well as making my own “sun dried” heirloom tomatoes! It’s nothing fancy, very compact, and works really well. Great bargain and I’ve put it through a ton of cooking and it’s still like new

It works and dehydrates things like its supposed to while looking good instead of being an eyesore, which gets it 3 stars for basic functionality and aesthetics. However, I do have some complaints with the product. Although the product claims you can adjust the temperature from 95-158F and this is technically true, in reality you can increase this in increments of 9, which only gives you the option to choose between 8 presets: 95, 104, 113, 122, 131, 140, 149, 158. Also, the unit is a lot smaller than you may expect, as shown in the picture with bananas for scale. Additionally, the machine beeps annoyingly whenever any setting is changed. If you try to change the temp from 95 to 158, it will loudly beep 7 times. Once the timer is up, it will beep and keep beeping until you turn it off.

Damn nice dehydrator i would buy again. Has temp set and air flow fan. Works great on fruits and meats. Small size for small batches and ez storage

I'm using this to dehydrate sourdough starter and I is perfect. Small and compact so it doesn't take a lot of room on my counter. Very easy to use and works perfectly.

The Product Appeared to be Decent Size . When it Arrived it Was Very Tiny , way smaller than a microwave.

So while picking out dehydrators I decided I wanted one with metal trays and possibly components. See I know from experience that plastic gets brittle when you subject it to heat, and had read complaints about trays breaking on Every Single dehydrator. I found this one and I’m so glad I did, it’s All metal inside and out, which honestly is pretty amazing, no VOCs or other contaminate worrry, and no worry about any parts breaking with wear/age. It fits A Lot. Yes it is a smaller dehydrator, but one tray can fit 1 1/2-2 bananas for banana chips, this tiny machine can dehydrate a whole 6-8 bunch of bananas in one go! I love that it’s small, I can tuck it away in the cabinet when I need to, and unless you’re creating like Batches of something this is the size any normal person would want and be happy with. Adjustable temp allows me to dial in the drying time, and the outside of the machine stays remarkably not hot. Really surprised me. For the price, quality, the metal trays and body, this right here can’t be beat. If you’re looking/comparing dehydrators you can put away your notes and just get this one, I did all the homework and it truly is the best deal, will last the longest, has the most customizations, perfect little machine for all your dehydrating needs!!

This is the first time I’ve ever used a dehydrator. I got it to make healthy pet treats, and also people treats. I absolutely love how tiny it is, I was looking for something very small. So far I’ve made beef jerky for my dogs and cats, (both loved them) I also made homemade fruit roll ups aka fruit leathers, and everything came out perfect. I ordered the silicone dehydrator mats for keeping the shelves clean. I bought a pack and cut the down, and they worked great, and are easy to clean. We are very happy with this dehydrator. 👍🙂
