Description

The NESCO FD-79 Food and Jerky Dehydrator provides the drying power that generates maximum speed and quality for dehydrating your favorite foods. The adjustable digital temperature control (90°F -160°F) gives you the flexibility to achieve the best results when drying different foods that need varying temperature settings. The digital timer is programmable for up to 24 hours of drying time and includes an auto off function. This dehydrator comes with four (13 1/2" diameter) trays and expands up to 12 trays so you can dry large quantities at once, with no tray rotation needed. Additional Add-A-Trays sold separately. The quiet, powerful Converga-Flow fan forces heated air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray. The air flow then converges in the center for quick, consistent drying that is four times faster than other dehydrators. The top mounted fan eliminates liquids dripping into the heater chamber. Includes two fruit roll sheets, two clean-a-screens, a sample of jerky seasoning & cure, and a 52-page recipe & instruction book. The BPA Free NESCO FD-79 Food and Jerky Dehydrator ensures even drying from top to bottom offering perfect results.

    • Love it
Style: Dehydrator
I’m simply loving this dehydrator it’s running more often than it’s not. I’ve done jerky, I make all my puppy treats, fruit vegetables, marshmallows so many possibilities. It’s easy to use Unobtrusive it comes with 4 racks but you can buy more to expand the capacity. It cleans up easily. Some complained about racks breaking easily but that has not been my experience. *** 5 month update*** I’m using this little gem 24-7 taking out one load and starting up the next. Fruit veggies, precooked beans, and herbs are so simple. I’m loving how well my cabinet is stocked since I got this wonderful little machine. ... show more

Makes great jerky and trail mix from fruit. Mine is several years old and still going strong.

    • Wonderful snacks, made easily and inexpensively
Style: Dehydrator
The best features: The FAN is housed in the top position. Long years ago, when I bought my first food dehydrator, the machinery was in the BOTTOM position. While that might have some advantages for balance, it meant that whatever dripped or fell down impacted the piece with moving parts. Consequently, clean-up, PARTICULARLY of grease drippings, was difficult, as you can't immerse the unit in hot water. I really like this design. The time and temperature controls are easy to use. A helpful guide to temps for different snacks is printed on the control unit, so I don't have to remember. It also makes it possible to get a batch going that will be finished in the middle of the night, and not have to set an alarm to wake up and turn it off. Very quiet. I was running a batch in the room next to where I was having a meeting, and it presented no problem at all. I have even had a conversation at the kitchen table while to machine was running, and I didn't have to raise my voice to be heard. A new development, and one I haven't tried yet, are the tiny grid Clean-a-screens. I'm going to try dehydrating nectarines today, and that might be the way to go. My 16-year-old son Kenneth is fascinated by the process of seasoning and applying the beef to make jerky. ... show more

I received this unit on 15.Mar.22 upon inspection and use I note the following... 1)...adhesive used for the label is useless, it can't withstand the heat generated and slips off during use. 2)...not sure if this chipped off during shipping, but it didn't appear to be an issue during use (2nd photo) 3)...maximum temp setting is 160 degrees, had to increase drying time by 30 minutes, compared to the other dehydrator I have. I can set max temp at 165 degrees. 4)...noise level is minimal and tolerable, relatively quite... Overall, it's not a bad dehydrator. ... show more

    • Fun
Style: Dehydrator
I have only been using this dehydrator for a week now, but love it. I have done radishes, mushrooms, tomatoes and Hatch peppers. There is a learning curve because, while the machine is easy and rather self-explanatory, there are variables in the food, how thick you slice them, ambient temperature and humidity, etc. So you have to take a peek now and then to see how things are going. However, that's easy to do and the instruction manuel suggests you use a journal to keep notes. I found that very helpful. My only complaint is how to position the top piece (the heater) when I am taking a peek. It doesn't sit flat. Not a big deal, but a better design would make it so you could place it aside and not have it roll on the pivot/heater mechanism. That being said, I definitely recommend this dehydrator as a good buy. I'm loving it and think dehydrating is a lot of fun. ... show more

    • The top is great, but the trays are cheap and flimsy
Style: Dehydrator
I bought this mainly for the top, needing a spare after my 12 year-old FD-75PR burned out the thermal fuse (2nd time) and was difficult to reassemble because of warpage. I like the digital feature, and hopefully being 600W it won't get so hot that it warps like my old unit. The trays are another matter entirely; cheaply made and fragile- I doubt I'll buy another Nesco dehydrator unless they bring back the sturdier trays. ... show more

    • Works for multiple purposes
Style: Dehydrator
Review Image by Jan Wieck Jan Wieck
Got this to replace an older version (the one with the dial for temperature control), which had failed after over 10 years of loyal service. The "food" dehydrator is running more or less constantly as a 3D filament dehydrator in my case. There is the occasional use for making jerky or dried tomatoes, but mostly it is used as pictured. ... show more
