Works well
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!

Overall I really like it
I’m new to dehydrating and needed a “starter” unit. I’ve used it about a half dozen times now, for vegetables/herbs (peppers, carrots, snap peas, basil). It seems well built, and does the job. It generally takes longer than the manual says, but that seems to vary a lot based on how the food is prepared (e.g. size of pieces, blanched vs, not, etc). So far the size seems adequate, for example it was able to do 13 bell peppers (cut into 8 strips per pepper) using 3 of the 5 trays. My impressions:Pros:- Compact yet holds a good amount. The grid on the trays was tight enough that nothing fell through even cut up fairly small.- Feels sturdy. Trays stack solidly in either high or low position, and have shown no sign of wear so far- Easy to clean. I quickly wiped rinsed trays after use, but to be honest nothing stuck to the trays and I didn’t even feel a rinse was necessary.- Did what it needed to do. Would have liked it to be faster, but I get the feeling that’s the nature of the beast with non-commercial dehydrators.Cons:- I think the highest I was able to get the temp was about 140F, I don’t feel like it can reach its supposed max of 158F.- The actual temperature it reached didn’t usually match the set temp, and seemed to vary a lot, perhaps based on the number of trays, amount of food, etc. I would say you pretty much need a thermometer (preferably a point and shoot laser one) and do some trial and error to be able to properly manage the temp on this thing- The “dot” on the temp knob that shows you what temp you are setting is extremely hard to see. I fixed this by applying a dab of white nail polish.Overall, I would recommend it if you are someone who dehydrates occasionally in moderate amounts

Works great
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.

Dehydrating food is fun, easy and it saves money by preventing wasting food (not eaten fast enough)
This dehydrator is so easy to use that I went from wondering how to use it to wondering how I could get it wrong. I have sliced up apples, bananas, and strawberries and coated them with lemon juice and put them into the dehydrator. They taste great and the hamsters like having a steady supply of treats. Anything explicitly marketed for pets seems to cost a lot more and I can control what goes in their mouths.

Great starter unit!
I was looking for a cost effective starter dehydrator and this item surpassed my expectations. It does not have a timer or accurate temperature setting but for the price you really can’t complain. The unit is fairly quiet and performs well over a 12hr period fully loaded with fruit.

I received this broken
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

i wanted a food dryer to take advantage of all the half priced fruits and vegetables in the stores, and more so, to make wholesome dried treats for my dog, like dried yams and things. I found this unit on amazon, decently priced at 54 dollars, and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is a great little unit. i say little, but it is almost 12 inches in diameter, and has 5 trays, so there is a lot of surface area. The dial has 3 temperature ranges, from 95 to 150 degrees, in a continuous setting, so you can set any temperature between the two. the dial is analog, not digital there is no display but who cares. I don’t need to control it from my smartphone. the booklet is very helpful, tells you all the drying times necessary. It was a pain at the start when i unboxed it, because you have to wash up everything, then run it for a minimum of 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residue, then wash it up again. It compares very favorably with units costing up to 2 hundred dollars. some of them, more. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this unit, being made in China and all, and would definitely buy it again.
