    Nesco - Snackmaster Pro 600-watt Food Dehydrator Is very easy to use and clean. It has total of 5 trays for stacking up. It comes with a guide to teach you how to make dried fruits and jerky. The only feature I wish it had was the auto off timer.

    Bought this for my significant other and he loves it. Uses it weekly. Easy set up and easy to use. He does bananas, apples, strawberries, pineapple and more. It does take a while, which is normal. Grapes take too long, in my opinion, to turn to raisins, but all other fruit has been great.

    I have always wanted a dehydrator, but couldn't afford it. Until bestbuy put this model on sale. So for a first time dehydrator owner, this is perfect. I've dehydrated fruit leather made with kombucha scoby, dried herbs from my garden, plantain chips, citrus peels which I use for teas and skincare. I've dried garlic and ginger and pulsed to make powder, the smell is out of this world delicious. Dehydrating saves space. And if you buy things in bulk, dehydrate them and store in airtight bottles. There's no need to buy a bigger unit, this works well for small projects. I line with parchment paper sometimes instead of the liners that came with it. This is a fantastic product to own.

    Our original dehydrator bit the dust after years of making jerky, drying herbs, apples, peppers, and tomatoes. Our new dehydrator is serving us very well and we are happy to have it!

    Way too loud. Plenty of food drying trays, including 2 for making fruit leather.. Dries fairly quickly. Good how to manual with approximate times for drying different food items. Manual also includes suggestion for preparing foods for dehydrating. Decent value for the price.

    This dehydrator works well with whatever fruits or vegetables I decide to use. I use it almost on a daily basis and would recommend it to my family and friends anytime. The price was very decent and would purchase another on for a gift if I had someone who would use it.

    Works great. I overdried my jerky the first time. But learned how to time it by checking after 2 hours and it comes out very good. Very easy to use. I mainly bought it for jerky but will try drying fruits for a trail mix. The fruit roll looks easy also.

    I used it to make 10lbs of beef jerky and apple rings .. It heats evenly throughout layers with no need to rotate racks. Surprisingly fast cook times. It is by no means loud, its actually very quiet. Im very pleased with my purchase. Im not pleased at how fast my jerky disappeared lol.. Pros. Very easy to clean, easy to use, quiet, cooks evenly, detailed instructions and recipes included. Cons. Wish it came with 1 more rack/level. But you can purchase them seperately.

    Got this from Best Buy so that we could make our own beef jerky at home, and it is a wonderful product. Very easy and intuitive to use, cleanup only takes a few minutes. Now we can make our own beef jerky instead of spending a lot of money in stores on packaged jerky. And as a bonus, we can control how much sugar and other ingredients we put in. Great!
