RUIE Food Dehydrator Machine with 6 Stainless Steel Large Trays,400W Fruit Dehydrator,24H Timer and 194°F Temperature Control, Food Dryer for Jerky, Herb, Meat,Beef,Fruit and Dog Treats,Silver

This small dehydrator works good. The machine is 12 inches across by 12 inches deep, and 10.5 inches high. It comes with 6 trays, finger protectors, and it holds more food than I thought it would. I sliced %26 dried one cucumber, 1 pear, 7 kiwis, an apple, and I had a tray leftover so I filled it with fresh snap peas. We didn't add any oils, vinegars or seasoning to our batch. It comes assembled so all you have to do is screw on the door handle. It didn't come with detailed instructions but it is super easy to work. It does come with a dehydrator book for dehydrating your stuff. I didn't mix my fruits/veggies on the trays, because some dry faster than others due to slice thickness, water content and density. When a fruit/veggie was ready I was able to just pull that tray out quickly and reclose door. On the pictures I did mix them for the photos, the kiwi and apple dried perfectly (apple is the one on the left), the pear needed a bit more drying. We ate the Armenian cucumbers before taking a pic, they were delicious. The snap peas turned a bit brown, we will need to do some homework on those, and we also ate them before taking the pic. At 4 hours into the dehydrating process, I flipped the fruits/veggies on the trays to help with the sticking. Washing the trays was super easy, then I patted them dry and placed them in the dehydrator to finish drying with the pears that were still drying. One thing that I noticed is that the fruits/veggies that were not completely ripe actually held up better than the ripe fruits/veggies. These dehydrators come in several sizes so do your homework as to what size your family may need. I can see buying fruits/veggies when they are in season and dehydrating them for later use.
