Food-Dehydrator Machine 8 Stainless Steel Trays, 500W Jerky Dehydrator for Meat, 190ºF Mushroom Dryer, 24H Timer Fruits Dryer for Herbs, Veggies, Yogurt & Dog Treats

For the most part it works but I had to set the degrees a little higher than suggestions in manual. I tried to follow what was recommended by the manual it came with but i noticed I have to turn it up a bit more for it to dry fruit of vegetables correctly. Not a deal breaker, it gets the job done still. Might depend on humidity in you region or etc maybe.I bought this mainly due to the fact I hate wasting stuff I buy for my kids. My kids love certain fresh fruit or vegetables but I feel a lot of the times they start to go bad too quickly. So if by the first two days they havent eaten all of it, I dehydrate the stuff and put them in freezer ziplock bags and store it in our freezer. This works out for also making my own ramen noodle toppings. I like to buy some bigger bulk items at the store when it comes to fresh fruit and vegetables so having this has helped out a lot. I have dried bell peppers, green onions, carrots and etc. I have even dehydrated baby marshmallows. My kids love eating them every so often but again they dont get used up as fast and once you open that bag, if they sit to long they stick to each other. So dehydrated them and my kids are able to have those at random times for snacks. They turn out sort of close to the marshmallow pieces in cereal but they still have a little more chew. My guess is stuff in cereal is freezer dried more so than dehydrated but its still nice to know it can be done so less waste.

This is my first upgrade in 30 years. What used to take 2 days took 4 hours. Don’t hesitate because it’s efficient, easy to clean, with sturdy construction. I dry a lot of meat for Pemmican. I can proceed much more often.

This dehydrator is great! The trays are a close mesh that does not allow herbs to fall through when dry. It has a list of suggested temps for different foods right on the top! And it’s nice and big. I have other dehydrators that are way less convenient.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round. For today, I have witnessed a miracle in kitchen technology that has singlehandedly transformed my life, my pantry, and my ability to snack without guilt. The stainless steel food dehydrator. A machine so perfect, so wonderfully efficient, that I’m considering starting a support group for people who’ve just realized they, too, need one.Let me begin with the exterior. Stainless steel. I’m not saying it’s better than every other material on Earth, but if the moon was made of stainless steel, I’d be packing my bags to colonize it. This dehydrator gleams like the promise of a perfect, crisp apple chip and honestly, I think it makes me look cooler when I use it. It’s like I’m the Gordon Ramsay of drying fruit, except with zero culinary skill. The sleek design complements any kitchen décor, and by "complement," I mean it dominates the space, subtly telling everyone that you are not just dehydrating food , you are dehydrating it with style.But here’s where things get truly mind-blowing: it works. I know, shocking, right? You'd think a machine this flawless couldn’t possibly live up to its reputation. But, oh my friends, it does. It dries food so evenly and efficiently that even the pickiest of fruits and vegetables have no choice but to submit. I’ve tried everything! Apples, bananas, mangoes, even the most stubborn blueberries and every single one of them emerged perfectly dehydrated, as though they’d just taken a little vacation to the desert.The temperature controls are intuitive, and the timer? Well, let’s just say I’m setting it up to dry things while I’m asleep, and waking up to a kitchen that smells like a farmer’s market except better, because it’s all snackable. I’ve had so much fun experimenting with this machine, I’m considering using it to dehydrate my problems. “Oh, a stressful day? No worries, I’ll just set that anxiety on ‘low heat’ for six hours.” It’s that good.If you think a dehydrator is just a gadget for kale chips and jerky, you are sorely mistaken. This is a gateway to a world where food never goes bad, where fruits and veggies are preserved in their ultimate form and let’s not forget, where snacks are so deliciously healthy, you’ll be tempted to dry EVERYTHING. Yes, even the leftover pizza (don’t judge me).In short, I cannot recommend this stainless steel food dehydrator highly enough. It’s the culinary equivalent of finding a $100 bill in your coat pocket or discovering that your favorite show has been renewed for ten more seasons. It’s life-changing, and frankly, if you’re not already buying one, I’m not sure what you’re doing with your life. Get one, thank me later, and prepare for the most delightful, crispy, dehydrated future imaginable.Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a batch of problems to dehydrate away.

I bought this to make jerky and let me tell you this is so much better then the round style cheaper dehydrators. I make about 20lbs of jerky every time and it takes less time and dries it out better than my old one. It only take me about 3 batches to do all 20lbs and I make mine really thin and dry. If you do thicker you can probably do 2 batches. I would of gave it 5 stars but the 1st batch I made it stuck to the trays so I had to kind of pry them off on the 2nd batch I coated it with a little oil and it worked perfect it all came right off. Another bonus is the for the size of the machine it is fairly quiet to my old one by a good 50%

This dehydrator works great. Plenty of room for jerky and fruits. Does the job.

Works well. Seems to be good quality.

Great so far with fruit! Used them for some cocktails. Want to try flowers and other recipes!
