ROVRAk Food Dehydrator for Jerky, Fruit, Meat, Herbs, 12-Tray Stainless Steel Dehydrator Machine, Double-Layer Insulation, Adjustable Timer, Temperature Control, Overheat Protection (67 Recipes)

I compared a lot of dehydrators before settling on this one. Previously I had one of those round ones with stacking trays that just blows semi-warm air and takes forever and is in no way convenient to use. Comparing that old round dehydrator to this one is like comparing a horse drawn cart to a Lamborghini. My primary reason for purchasing any dehydrator was to save money by making my own jerky and dried fruit, and to control what ingredients go into my food. The fact that this unit has 12 trays was also appealing, so I could make large batches and take advantage of seasonal produce sales, meat sales, etc. The dehydrator has handles on the sides for easy carrying and moving. The instructions say you need 12" of clearance behind the unit for proper air flow. Due to its size and this requirement, I didn't actually set it up in my small kitchen, but on a card table in the spare bedroom. Even at the hottest setting, the outside and top do not get so hot that you can't put your hand on it. It is definitely an oversized appliance because of the dozen racks, so if space is a consideration, maybe go with something smaller. Operation is simple and intuitive. You plug it in, press the power button, and adjust the dials for time and temperature. If the unit is plugged in but not on, the power button blinks constantly. That kind of bugged me so when it's not running I just unplug it. If you don't have OCD, you can probably ignore it. Testing the temperature with a remote probe, I found the unit ran about 10 degrees cooler than the set point. Because of this, I just set the temperature 10 degrees higher. It certainly gets warm enough to dehydrate foods effectively. Putting in the maximum number of racks vs fewer doesn't appear to have any effect on performance, so feel free to load it up. Food is dried evenly with the two fans and aside from my own mistakes recipe-wise, the dehydrator has produced good quality food. The full size window in the door allows you to monitor progress. It would have been a bonus to have a light inside, but I just shine a flashlight through to keep an eye on things. I recommend getting some silicone trays along with this dehydrator to make fruit leathers. By making jerky and dried fruit myself, I reckon this thing is going to save me a ton of money over time. This was a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who wants an efficient, large capacity dehydrator, and has the space for it.

Awesome machine. Most of my garden ran through this last year. No problems and a fairly quiet operation. Dehydrated vegetables and used to make fruit leather

I am beyond impressed with this food dehydrator! From the moment I started using it, I could tell it was a high-quality, well-designed machine. The 12 stainless steel trays give me plenty of space to dehydrate everything I need — from jerky to fruits, herbs, and even veggies. The adjustable timer and temperature control are super convenient and allow for perfect results every time. I love that it has overheat protection — it gives me peace of mind when using it for long drying sessions. Everything comes out evenly dried and full of flavor. It’s also surprisingly quiet and easy to clean. The included 67 recipes were a delightful bonus — I’ve already tried several and can’t wait to try more! If you’re serious about dehydrating food at home, this machine is a must-have. I’m 100% satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone!

I'm not really a review writer but this machine is a keeper. Three weeks of using so far and I like how this dehydrating machine is working, and the racks clean easily. With my old Presto, the machine worked just fine but hard to clean with the racks being round and plastic. I've been drying sliced figs, herbs, lemon rings, peaches slices, onions and bell peppers for years. But the racks being plastic, the sliced figs especially, would be a mess and I'd have to soak them regularly and the stackable racks being round were hard to soak. BUT with this new machine, the racks are square with rounded edges, with silicone sheets (included). Racks being square soak easier and silicone sheets, being on the soft side wash like a dream. I wish I'd purchased this machine sooner. I love how you can open the glass door and remove just the rack you want. Very convenient. Cons: It's a beast. I can lift it and move it but it's awkward. I'm 125 lbs., 75 years old and in good health. I'll keep mine in the garage on my work bench. Even though it is very quite it still takes up space whereas the Presto, when not in use, stacked to about 10 inches and could be stored and lifted easily. Is it more efficient than my old Presto? Too early to tell. but I do like that you can see the racks easily with the glass door, remove just the rack you need and not have to remove the racks above to get to the rack you desire like on my Presto. Would I buy it again? YES. It's a keeper!

I am so glad I invested in this food dehydrator. I have made lots of apple slices, pineapple, mango, bananas, strawberries, bell peppers, onions etc. Our favorites are the apples (I put in lemon juice and then sprinkle with cinnamon prior to drying), and pineapple. There are so many more things to try! My husband has even used it for beef jerky. I am really happy that I opted for this larger dehydrating capacity with 12 shelves, because I can do big batches at one time and save time. If I am doing a small batch, I leave an empty shelve between each full shelf. The quality is great, and it is very sturdy. And it's very easy to set the time and temperature. There is no problem with the airflow when I have all of the shelves full. I keep mine on top of my dryer in the garage, but I do notice that it is quiet enough to keep inside the house as well. I expect to be using this appliance for many years. I tell all of my friends they need one.

It is hard not to love this dehydrator! It's not much larger than it's internal size, so for it's volume it takes up less space than you would think. I have used it 3 times so far and it has worked great. The fans and the design of it makes it so you don't have to rotate trays which is so nice. I had the really nice nesco round one before this, but wanted something with more volume and more durable as one time in the dishwasher and those plastic trays will melt or warp, expensive lesson learned. The steel trays are very nice, light, and easy to clean. It is amazingly quiet, unless you are in the same room you wouldn't know it was on other than it smelling amazing in the entire house. The only complaints I have about this unit are that the door feels cheap, and when you wash the trays be careful as the design allows for water to be trapped on the bottom of the square if they were standing up when drying. I soaked myself with them the first time I hand washed them haha, so just watch for that.

The box arrived damaged. You can see in the pic of the box that it came with a hole that had been taped up. That's ok as along as the contents were ok there's a slight dent also pictured. Functionally the thing works like a charm. The dials are super easy to turn and the operation is straight forward. In my first batch I dehydrated 6 bananas, 6 apples, 7 kiwi and 3 pounds of blueberries. That's a lot of fruit in one dehydrator. I made some rookie mistakes had the heat set too high which made the fruit a little "burnt". My second batch went differently. I fit 6 bananas 2 pounds of strawberries 6 apples and 6 large oranges and my result is much better being patient. It's a well made appliance all stainless steel 2 fans and the grids hold a lot more than you'd think. I can't wait to do jerky and some other things I have planned. 4 stars cuz the box was damaged but 5 stars overall. Nice.
