NutriChef Electric Countertop Food Dehydrator - Professional Multi-Tier Food Preserver - Dehydrates Fish, Meats, Mushrooms, Fruits & Vegetables - 5 Easy to Clean Stackable Trays., One Size, Black

my first dehydrator. been using my air fryer, but it could only hold 1/2 apple at a time and apples take approx 6 hrs to dry, so wanted an actual dehydrator to be more efficient and give my beloved air fryer back for other uses.love the size of this machine as its reasonable on taking counter space. light enough I could stash it on top of fridge if I wanted. warns about keeping not setting it on non-heat resistant counters , tables, etc. the sides get warm but it is only a bit warm on my counter, so no problem.I sliced a medium apple for each of the 5 trays so as not to over load a given tray. I did rotate the trays half way thru, but didn't really see a need to do so (at least not with apples....may depend on what is being dried).the manual is very detailed except for suggesting what temp to use for different foods. I just set mine on high. the air appears to be circulating well. the machine is very quiet. I will gently hand wash the trays rather than risking them in dishwasher.so, while I am no expert on dehydrators, I am extremely pleased with this machine. looks nice on my counter , and I am sure it will get a lot of use. I am not planning on doing meats, fish, jerky or fruit leather. mostly fruits for me.

Good size for what I needed it for. Easy to use.

It is very big, a little loud, used a lot of electricity, and it took forever. I am renting so it wasn’t convenient to have on the counter top and kept getting unplugged. I’m sure it’s great for others who live alone, but for me it wasn’t manageable sadly. Worked though just took forever which is expected

I can finally make my spicy Asian style beef jerky. It came out great and although it took some time, the dehydrator never felt super hot that worries me. The wire was fine and not hot to touch.It was easy to clean even though it got greasy. With the non even surface, do have to soak and rub it a bit to get all the spices off.

It really worked well with my recipes for bison, jerky, and Venison jerky.

Simply for dehydrating dog jerky and dried fruit. Comes with 5 trays and very easy to clean. I suggest getting liners. Pretty quiet too.

Maybe it’s all dehydrators, but the idea of this was way better than actually using it. It’s fairly quiet while running, is a pretty decent size (not too big), made some nice dehydrated strawberries on the first use, and a seemingly great price. BUT it’s not dishwasher safe (not easy to clean), takes FOREVER to dry things out that aren’t sliced paper thin, and started sounding a little weird after the first use.

Great quality I've used it to dry some meat and fruits and they have turned out amazing!

I've used it for veggies and fruit and it does that OK but requires a lot of time, however I made some chicken jerky and it only took around 8 hours which was nice. Very good.

This seems to work well and easy to use and clean. However the reason why only 3 stars is the condition that the boxes where in when got it. Seems to have been slam into a door on the edges. The machine itself seems okay thought.

I proshased foe my produce and when I took out of the box I heard a piece hit the ground. When I inspected I found 2 piece broken off the tray. I would return but have produce that will go bad. Would love a reacement tray for the broken one

Idéal pour déshydrater fruits et légumes. Par contre je n'avais pas remarqué que les degrés n'étaient pas inscrits.Il y a 2 façons de déshydrater. Pour la viande j'aimerais essayer un autre modèle.J'aimerais en parler sur ma chaîne YouTube que je suis en train de mettre en place.

I love that it has its own temperature control. It is so easy to use and very eady to clean.
