  • Had 9 years now. Works great!
Style: Dehydrator
I bought this in February 2013 (so in less than 2 months, I've had this item for 9 years). I bought it and use it mostly for dog treats. I cut thin slices of any type of muscle meat, or organ meat, and dehydrate. So much better and lower cost than buying those types of dog treats in the pet store! Machine has been used probably 100 times at least and has no issues. I got it for about 30 bucks, very good investment. If you want a simple, yet quality, dehydrator for a great price, this is a great choice! ... show more

  • Dried Fruit Turns Out Dry
Style: Dehydrator
So far have made jerky, dried fruit, and mint tea using this and they all worked great. Not too loud, but could get annoying if you have it in the same room for hours. Was worried it would be too small, but I often have problems filling it all the way. Really easy to clean so far. So far my favourite thing has been dried oranges. ... show more

  • Produces perfectly dried garden produce
Style: Dehydrator
If you have a garden or fruit trees or buy in bulk, then this Nesco food dehydrator is a must in your arsenal of kitchen must haves. We have several apple, plum, pear and peach trees and although I can and freeze as much as I'm able to, I wanted another way to preserve what we produced. I had been reading about drying foods but was a little skeptical on the quality I would have. I purchased this Nesco as it had good reviews and I haven't been sorry I did. I did have a couple of trial mishaps to start with as I cut the fruit either too thin, which left me with almost nothing after it was dried, or cut the items too thick which made them never dry to what they should have and then tended to mold. The most successful item I have tried is, of course, the apple. I found that I didn't have to peel or even core the apple, just slice it, dip it in a fruit fresh solution, pat dry and then lay on the trays. It doesn't really take long at all to dry a dryer full if one is diligent about rotating the trays from top to bottom. I found a jar of apple slices that I had dried three years ago and they were as good as the ones I was currently drying. I experimented with a light sugar water and cinnamon to dip the slices in and they were delicious. These needed to thoroughly dry! I place the dried produce in quart glass jars and either cap the jar with metal lids and rings or the white ball plastic lids and put a piece of tape with the contents and date listed. Just store on a pantry shelf. These are great to snack on, low calorie and very satisfying. I have tried peaches but find that the smaller peaches work best if they are not peeled or sliced. Just pit, halve and place the halves on the racks after dipping in fruit fresh and drying. Zucchini is also a nice item to dry, adding it to soups in the winter. I'm not too wild about strawberries but must admit I didn't give them more than one try. One is only limited to ones imagination. There are recipes for fruit leathers and dried jerky which I haven't ventured to try yet. This dryer is quite easy to operate and has a nice instruction booklet with it. There is some noise involved but as it placed it several rooms away, it didn't bother us much after we got used to the sound. The trays are easy to clean up and if there is any food stuck on, just a little soaking in hot soapy water will do the trick. I did purchase two more trays to increase my productivity with each load and they stack quite nicely. I place the whole unit, extra trays, booklet and all in a kitchen trash bag and tie to close and this keeps the dust off and makes for easy storage. ... show more

  • My work horse!
Style: Dehydrator
It works. Too hot for tender herbs. For that you need a more expensive model that has temp control. This doesn’t. But for simply drying like meat or beans or rice, it’s just fine. The new trays are a tiny bit different sized than older model. It still works. But you have to check which add on you get, because some overlap and others stack inside edges. This one stacks over the next lower tray. ... show more

  • Really cool!!!
Style: Dehydrator
I have never used a dehydrator before and I didn't realize how many creations could be made using this simple device. There is no temperature control, but if you follow the booklet that comes in the box, there is no need to change temperatures, only the amount of time something is dehydrated.I contacted the Nesco company to see if it was safe to leave on all night and they said it was a personal preference. Apparently there are two safety mechanisms that prevent it from catching fire. I also questioned how long it can be left on without giving it a break and they said 48 hours. Just thought I would share that information since it is kind of important to know. I have been leaving it on at night since it seems pretty safe. The heat created isn't even hot enough to even burn you. I heard that it reaches between 90 to 130 degrees F. Oh, and I am making a peanut butter banana gram cracker tonight. I have never tried it before so I'm not sure how well it will turn out, but if you are interested, here is a link to the recipe ([...]). One more thing. I have read many complaints about how loud the machine is. To give you an idea, it kind of sounds like one of those small handheld vacuums. It will get annoying if you are in the same room for a long period of time, but its not loud enough that you will have to shout to have a conversation. If you are in a separate room, you probably won't hear it at all and if you do, it will sound like a quiet buzz in the background. ... show more

  • Treat Yourself - Great Price and great product!!!
Style: Dehydrator
I was very hesitant to purchase a dehydrator... I have wanted one for so long but I didn't want another kitchen gadget sitting in the basement. Ultimately, it was the price that pushed me to buy. I looked at Kohl's and other stores and Amazon's was at least 15 dollars cheaper. I looked everywhere and found this to be the best price. It is lightweight and is very easy to clean. I hand washed everything easily. I would call it dummy proof because there is a one switch to turn it on and off and that is it - easy breezy. It is easy to assemble and is okay to touch while using - there is little to no heat to it's exterior. I received this last week and have only made some jerky and it was awesome. There is a light hum to it. I would compare it to the air pop popcorn maker. It does push the aroma out and we could smell it upstairs all night while we cooked the jerky (10 hours total). The jerky came out great and husband is more excited now that I purchased after trying the finished product. I got this mostly to make dried fruit and I am looking forward to try it. For this price, I think that this is a steal. I would recommend this to anyone interested. ... show more
