COSORI Food Dehydrator Machine for Jerky, 5 Trays with 165°F Temperature Control and 48H Timer, 350W Dryer for Fruit, Herbs, Meat, Veggies and Dog Treats, 50-Recipes Book Included

I recently purchased the COSORI Pioneer Food Dehydrator with 5 BPA-Free Trays (Model # CFD-N051-W), and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way! Firstly, I used this dehydrator to preserve the mangoes from the tree in my front yard, and the results were simply amazing. The dehydrator worked flawlessly, leaving me with perfectly dehydrated mangoes that tasted just as delicious as the fresh ones. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. One of the standout features of this dehydrator is its temperature control. It was incredibly easy to use, allowing me to adjust the temperature to the perfect setting for each batch of fruits I dehydrated. Whether it was delicate fruits or heartier vegetables, the temperature control offered precise adjustments, ensuring consistent and thorough drying. Cleaning the dehydrator was a breeze as well. The 5 BPA-free trays were easy to remove and clean, and the materials used in its construction made the whole process hassle-free. This is a big plus for me, since I prefer spending more time enjoying the results of my dehydrating efforts than on tedious cleanup. Another noteworthy aspect of this COSORI food dehydrator is the noise level. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it operated. I could barely hear the machine working, which was a significant relief compared to some other kitchen appliances I've used in the past. This makes it perfect for dehydrating overnight or during quiet moments when I don't want to disturb the household. In conclusion, I highly recommend the COSORI Pioneer Food Dehydrator to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly dehydrator. Its excellent temperature control, ease of cleaning, and quiet operation make it a top-notch choice for preserving fruits, vegetables, and more. I can't wait to explore more dehydrating possibilities with this wonderful appliance!

I've been using this nonstop since I bought it and love it. Dried fruit, herbs, even dried spruce and cranberries for simmer pots all done perfectly. Dried banana slices are like candy bites! Easy clean up and it dosen't take up a lot of counter space. I purchased two extra trays so I could do more apples at a time. Can't recommend this enough especially if you have a smaller kitchen.

I love this dehydrator. It is very easy to use, and it is easy to store. The recipe book is very helpful. I use it primarily to dehydrate chicken and beef for my dogs. They LOVE it!

Works very well! super simple, set the temp and time and let it do its thing. Not only that this unit is less than half the cost of most of the other dehydrators that I have found on here. Also, this one is expandable; we added 5 trays, which just makes it taller and still works the same. Top shelf seems to get the same treatment as the bottom shelf. I think we typically have 8 trays/shelves going at the same time. Primarily for me, it's jerky, my wife makes strawberry leather from real strawberries minced with a blender and whatever else, which are very addictive, and we end up eating all of the leather in just 1 day.

Works very well, great value for the money, the plastic material is light weight yet sturdy enough to handle very warm/hot air blowing for 12+ hours straight. This is a fairly quiet unit. Because is has several layers, you're able to dehydrate many fruits/ veggies/ meats at a time. The size is fairly compact because it's stacking.. I use this to make liver dog treats for my dog. Have also tried dehydrating apples, pineapples, beets, etc. Would recommend getting the item(s) you want to dehydrate as dry as possible first. This will cut down your dehydrating time.

I am using this food dehydrator for 2 purposes - 1) the same traditional way most people are using it - for dehydrating fruits, veggies, fruit rollups and making jerky - for this unit is excellent, precise (temp & timer - temp checked w/ calibrated 4 temp probes placed on every other tray including top & bottom -very close temp range between each tray) , easy to use/program, a breeze to clean - trays are dishwasher safe - I chose not to expose then to the harsh dishwasher temps/ detergents - they are coated so food releases so easily even the fruit rollups sticky thick liquids come right off w/hot water & a sponge. 2) Audiophile/Videophile - Analog/digital magnetic tape "baking" to fix "Sticky Tape Syndrome". I own many analog tapes (reel to reel, cassettes & video VHS, Betamax etc..) Ampex brand tapes in particular (not only this brand), made between late 60's to early 90's have tape formula problem that allows moisture from humidity to cause the glue binder in the tape to liquify causing tapes to literally come apart while playing in your machine - tape particles stick to heads, capstans etc.. ruining your precious audio, video tapes & potentially causing damage to Tape player, VCR, video camera or best case, a mess to clean off all that brown residue that peeled off of tape - BTW that residue was once sound or video so it is now gone forever - imagine an important family event on VHS now parts stuck to your VHS player head - ruined tape. You can tell if you have sticky tape if tape squeals / screeches when you try to play, or if machine jams or is sluggish when rewinding/fast forwarding - playback either sounds flat - no high end for audio or video that is grainy or full of "noise" lines then usually starts getting stuck pouring out on floor. STOP immediately, remove tape - hand wind if necessary & proceed to "baking" (don't try this with conventional gas or electric ovens even convection types - they are not made to maintain PRECISE low temps for long periods with constant air flow - u will possibly melt tapes or not remove moisture like a dehydrator was designed to do - low even temp, air flow & long bake time 48 hour minimum - REQUIRED). By "baking" the tape in the right type of food dehydrator @ 120 to 130 Degrees F for 24 to 48 hours & a 24 hour cool down after (Cosori has large enough trays to bake several 10.5" reels & multiple VHS, cassette, 8 track tapes on different trays as many as you can fit lying flat). Tapes may need a second bake if badly sticky, if so, "rinse & repeat". I checked Cosori for stray magnetic fields from blower motor & heating element with a lab grade magnet-o-meter and there were none even @ bottom close to motor, so no risk erasing your recordings. It works - that is why I tested temperature regulation on each tray to make sure there were no wild temp swings from tray to tray. Once baking is complete tapes will play as new but may need treatment again if stored in humid environment - keep tapes in air tight container w/ humidity absorbing packets you can buy @ Amazon or locally - keep box in temperature controlled dry environment. There are several internet & youtube articles/videos explaining this "sticky tape syndrome" & how to treat specific formats/tape sizes for Video (VHS, Beta, mini type "C" VHS even data storage mag tape media), Audio (cassette, 8-Track, Reel to Reel) if you "google" it. The Cosori model# CO-165 FD is HIGHLY recommended for this purpose because of it's large diameter trays, space between trays, great temperature and timer regulation and fantastic price for this level of quality. As a food dehydrator also excellent for same reasons above - included cook book/recipes excellent primarily for its General Food Dehydration Chart - which lists dozens of fruits, veggies, herbs, flowers and meats providing time and temperature guidelines for "safe" minimum standards to properly dehydrate & store various foods correctly - which require refrigeration or air tight room temp storage after dehydration - fewer inedible dried up tidbits and no "food poisoning" risks from bacteria from improper dry times or storage.

Esta deshidratadora produce gases tóxicos y podría incendiar tu casa. Todo se debe a un error de diseño y una elección de materiales baratos, las charolas gotean a la respiración principal, que posteriormente lleva el agua al motor y la tarjeta madre del dispositivo. Mi unidad se detuvo a los minutos de empezar a trabajar con un fuerte olor a plástico quemado, al abrirla me di cuenta de que la placa estaba llena de líquido amarillo, que justo coincidía en que había deshidratado mango un día antes. Mi recomendación es que no la compres ni el nuevo modelo ya que comparten el mismo diseño de charola de goteo deficiente. No te pongas en peligro ni a tu familia.

I bought this to take with me to Jordan to use because buying things online/shipping is so difficult and expensive here. I was so excited to read the reviews and try the dehydrator. The first use was fine. I dehydrated bananas, fruits and apples and even though it wasn't crispy like the pictures, it did the job. I wanted to try it out again and about 7 hours later, it stopped working. It won't turn on period. I am so disappointed because I do not even know how to return this. I have to ask a friend to take it when she visits NL but it might be too late to return. I really wanted to like this product but only on my second use, it died on me. What a disaapointment.

buen producto

Dans l'ensemble, la machine remplie son rôle, pas très bruyante (équivalent d'un ventilateur). cependant le bip de départ et de fin est extrêmement fort et strident :S Pour l'instant je la trouve assez efficace. Juste un gros point noir par rapport au livret tout en anglais et non disponible sur le site (erreur 404 ou "pagina no existe") J'ai contacté le service client Cosori pour obtenir un livret en français, ça me semble être une usine à gaz...... donc pour le moment, je lance mes prépa "au pif" :S

Very good dehydrator. Recommended. I use it to dry meat and it works fine.
