    Decent Dehydrator for the price

    Overall, the dehydrator is decent and gets the job done with very thinly cut food. When I was using this it seems it could benefit from a drip tray and be more uniform in temperature. It took days to dehydrate citrus even when very thinly cut. I ended up using the oven at the end to finish.

    I tested it on bananas, wound up letting it go a little longer than suggested but I was happy with the results. It's a manageable size and very user friendly. Am looking forward to trying more things.

    Nice size. It's small enough to fit under the cabinets but still large enough to make it worth your time. We've only made a few things but so far so good.

    Does not have a timer on it so you have to attach a timer to the cord if you want it to only run for a set amount of hours.

    We absolutely love this dehydrator! We make jerky every week now, it works very well! We've never used another one to compare, but it worked great for us so we didn't have to try anymore.

    Horrible plastic odor

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So the directions address the odor by saying to wash everything, run it for 30 minutes, and then wash again. Well I did this, AND ran it for an additional 3 hours and washed a third time, and the odor is still terrible, as the heat rises up through.....And I'm not overly sensitive to smells, but I can't imagine putting food on these plastic "racks". It was so bad I put it on my basement to burn off and it stunk up 1400 square feet of space! It is also a very thin, brittle plastic that looks like it will break if you look at it wrong. It's going back, after a 10 day wait!

    I bought this dehydrator for my wife who wanted to experiment with making dehydrated foods. OMG I love it, she has made a beef jerky that is better then anything that I've ever had store bought, she has made dehydrated fruit that the grandkid's love and various vegetables made into power form to add to spice up our meals.
