## Description

The NESCO FD-1018A Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator is 1000 watts of pure drying power. With the Converga-Flow technology, air is forced up and across the trays to the center, providing quick, even, and nutritious drying of your favorite foods. Each of the 8 trays are BPA-free and can be expanded to 30 trays. A 95°F-160°F adjustable temperature control accommodates a range of food items. You can dry more food faster with the NESCO Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator. This model includes 8 Fruit Roll Sheets, 8 Clean-A-Screens, a sample of Jerky Seasoning and Cure, and a 52-page recipe and instruction book.

## Features

- 1000‑WATT DRYING POWER WITH CONVERGA‑FLOW AIRFLOW SYSTEM delivers fast, even dehydration without tray rotation, helping home users preserve fruits, vegetables, herbs, and jerky efficiently after gardening, hunting, or bulk grocery trips.
- EXPANDABLE DESIGN FROM 8 UP TO 30 TRAYS lets you scale drying capacity as needed, making it easy to prepare large batches of jerky, fruit snacks, dog treats, or pantry staples in one session instead of multiple runs.
- ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT (95°F–160°F) allows precise temperature selection for different foods, ensuring meat dries safely, fruits retain flavor, and herbs maintain potency across repeated batches.
- EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION WITH TOP‑MOUNTED FAN prevents uneven drying and overheating, reducing spoilage risk and removing the need for constant monitoring or tray rearranging during long drying cycles.
- INCLUDES ACCESSORIES AND EXPANDABLE PLATFORM CAPABILITY (fruit roll sheets, clean‑a‑screens, jerky seasoning, recipe guide) positions this unit as a long‑term food preservation system rather than a basic entry‑level dehydrator.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many trays come with this purchase?**
A: This comes with 8 drying trays, 8 fruit roll liners, and 8 mesh liners for drying herbs. This is a great product and works very well.

**Q: Is it still made in the usa?????????**
A: Yes made in the USA.

**Q: Is the top open in the middle? wanted to make sure i wasn't missing a piece. i've used friend's nescos and excalibers and both were closed. thanks!**
A: Yes. Every tray and the top has a hole in the middle. That is where the air escapes from.

**Q: how much does it cost to run?**
A: It is correct that is is a 1000 Watt device, and electricity here in Central Wisconsin is 11.5 cents/kilowatt hour.  So if it was running full-tilt for one hour that would be 11.5 cents.  BUT, this is thermostatically controlled and the temperatures are variable from, what?  95 degrees to 145 or something like that?  And you can expand the number of trays up to 30 from the 8 you are provided and you don't need to use all 8 trays.  So the answer is that your mileage will vary.  A lot.
But the worst it could possibly be running it for 24 hours with a bunch of trays full-tilt would be  $2.76.  Only way to know for sure is to use it and connect it to a Kill-A-Watt or some similar meter and record how much power it actually used.
