    Works well! Dehydrated some chicken feet for my dog. They came out nice and crunchy. It’s not super loud… but i’m not sure how the noise level compares to other options. Overall, pretty good!

    I was looking for a dehydrstor with enough power and in a rectangular shape (for easy storage). This one was exactly what I looked for. Also, I love Hamilton Beach brand. I used to sell some of their products and the customers were very pleased with them. So I gave this a Dehydrator a try. I made dehydrated fruits with it. I followed instructions that came with the machine. My family loved them. It made some noise but that was not too bad. I just put it in the room away from the living room. Sometime I left it in the kitchen and went to bed. In the morning, the dehydrated pineapple was done perfectly. It was very easy to use and very durable.

    Food takes a lot longer to dehydrate than the instruction booklet states. The dehydrator is loud similar to a fan. Not sure this is worth the cost for electricity due to time. The picture of the bananas are after 3 days.

    We’ve used it multiple times, felt like it took longer OR a higher temperature than instructions say. It works good. A little loud, set it up in laundry room.

    This is a great dehydrator. After reading reviews and comparing prices/ wattage/ functions, this is the one I went with and I could not be happier. It is very easy to operate, good size trays for holding a lot food and very easy to clean up. Being completely encased, the food dries in half of the time of my old dehydrator!! LOVE IT!!

    This dehydrator works well right out of the box. Instructions and suggested drying times were a little short as the time required to dry the herbs took a little longer than expected.

    I have had a few dehydrators in the past and this dehydrator is the best. It has a digital temperature adjustment and time. This option make dehydrating so much easier, especially when doing several different items at the same time. It is super quiet and I love that it comes with a tray for drying herbs and a tray for making fruit leathers/rolls. The price is also nearly half of some of the other digital food dehydrators with these options.

    I love this Food Dehydrator. I have used it several times drying Apples, pears, mushrooms, and mangos. Excellent product. Works great. If I want my apple slices crispy, I put them in the oven at the lowest temperature for about an hour. They are not leathery but crunchy.
