WORKS GREAT
Was looking for an inexpensive Food Dehydrator for an idea I had - didn't want to buy an Excaliber if the idea didn't pan out - this Dehydrator worked great - fan is on top for even heat distribution no rotating the shelves is needed, pretty quiet and best of all - it did the job! As soon as you plug it in - it starts up - no built in timer so I bought a wall timer for $5 - set the time, plugged the unit in then into the outlet - worked like a charm. I would definitely recommend this unit and the price can't be beat especially for a product that works beyond it's price point.

Smartest Investment!
This makes great tasting dried food. I already owned square model from Nesco, the same company as this model. They are both wonderful. A temperature control is essential feature. I once ordered one without temp control and it took me 4 days to dry apple slices 1/8" thick and it wasn't even dried fully. This particular model would take about 6 hours to dry apples of the same thickness. I know what I'm feeding my family (no additives) and that's very comforting. I would suggest you to get extra trays, at least two layers.

Great Dehydrator
I had a very old dehydrator and only used it a couple of times. It took 3-4 days to do, what this dehydrator did in just a few short hours. I love it!!!! Now I am dehydrating everything, from fruits to veggies. I know exactly what is in my soups and snacks, because I did it myself. I am really looking forward to using this with my garden this year along with canning.
