Elite GourmetEFD319 Food Dehydrator, 5 BPA-Free 11.4" Trays Adjustable Temperature Controls, Jerky, Herbs, Fruit, Veggies, Dried Snacks, Black

Great unit, No noise, I need to buy more shelves, Great design! Made 1/8" jerky in 6hrs, You can't beat the price! All machine washable trays! We love it, does it all, comes with very good cooking instructions, temps, times , how to, all in their booklet that comes with it! Worth every penny! Super fast cleanup!

The trays feel a bit flimsy but they stack well, just don’t abuse the poor thing and it will last well. It’s works for everything I have put in it: meat, veggies, fruit, mushrooms, etc. all turned out great! Comes with a guide book for various foods as well. I just put the items in at night and it’s done in the morning for most things. Fairly quiet, but occasionally it beeps.Decent size and I like that you can choose how many layers to add so it doesn’t feel like you’re wasting space. This is the first one I have ever owned and I have been delightfully pleased with it, but that also means I have nothing to compare it with. For a noob, I’m pretty happy!

The stacking is nice and it doesn’t make a ton of noise compared to other dehydrators that I’ve used. Airflow is good.The heating could be more even, that’s the main drawback. The bottom two trays heat fine but the top ones not so much, so you have to be careful to not dry too much at once or rotate the trays periodically while the drying cycle is going.

I love dried fruit. This dehydrater works really well. I've tried mangoes and pineapples and it comes out delicious. It's a great healthy snack! Great treat for the kids too.

Dries quickly and well. Easy to use and clean. Very good value and product. Quite and good design.

I haven't had a dehydrator in a few years but recently I've been growing a lot of herbs hydroponically. I needed something that I could dry the herbs on, as well as excess fruit. So far it has worked great. I haven't tried making jerky yet, but that's on the list.This has 5 trays that are semi adjustable. If you just set the trays on top of each other, there is enough room for most herbs to dry. If you set them with the teeth lined up, then there's more room. Sufficient for most fruits and likely meat for jerky. I've dried several different herbs, apple and pineapple. I would recommend getting some mesh inserts if you're going to be drying herbs, especially herbs like Dill. The grate for each tray aren't too big but smaller herbs will fall through without an insert.Overall I've been happy with it for what we use it for.

I wish I wasn’t too busy and too exhausted to return this because it was totally cracked and broken when I opened it seemed to work OK though

Inexpensive and works fine for what I need.
