"I like it, but...." 2009-10-08
By Happy Vintner (Los Angeles, CA USA)
The dryer does a great job of drying while keeping bugs etc. away from your food. I plan actually to buy another one of these.

HOWEVER, the supports that hold the trays can (and do) easily slide out of the support straps in the process of moving it around. Meaning the whole thing can easily basically come undone and then you have to put it back together again. Until you get the hang of it, it takes FOREVER to slide the loops back on and put the thing back together. After fiddling with it for over an hour, I can now reassemble it without too much time, but when this first happens you want to fling the whole thing into space.

If it weren't for the fact that this device easily disassembles itself, I would say it's perfect. It does just what I need it to do (for a reasonable price). With some practice you can learn to handle it so that it doesn't come undone too often and put it back together quickly if it does. If there were a better-made, similar item I would buy it, but I haven't been able to find anything that does the same thing at a reasonable price.

"Food ryer works great" 2009-05-04
By drdave (SLC, Utah)
We use this a lot. We use it to sprout wheat and to dry fruit (fruit leather or just dried apricots, apples, etc) and vegetables. Last year we dried some peppers and we are still enjoying them.

We have had our dryer for about 8-10 years.

"I'm so sad" 2007-10-10
By garden hoe (Atlanta GA)
I bought this machine last summer to dehydrate my harvest and LOVED it. Even bought extra trays. Took it out this year and after a few dryings - it stopped working. I thought from other reviews this was the affordable workhorse of dehydrators.

"Shocking" 2009-04-16
By Wm J. Milosh (Oxford, MA United States)
I ordered what I thought were at least five sheets for the five tray dehydrator I ordered at the same time. Like the previous reviewer, all I got was one sheet - for $8 plus shipping and a 10% drop ship fee. It came by mail. I kept checking the envelope for more sheets because I couldn't believe it. I double checked the listing and it does say one sheet, but it doesn't state it all that clearly. DEBNROO should be ashamed of themselves. For one sheet this is a rip off. I wish there were minus stars.

"Good, but too expensive" 2007-06-18
By Amanda
This item is great, but you only get one and the shipping fee is $10.00 so I paid over $20 for one sheet.

Drying food is fun! The Excalibur Dehydrator allows you to dry anything evenly and efficiently. The unit can dry all fruits, vegetables, meats, and more! Make fruit leathers and home-made jerky - FRESH! The Excalibur has a trademarked horizontal-airflow drying system which dries foods perfectly evenly on all the trays.

Dehydrating is a great way to add a new way of consuming foods without damaging valuable nutrients which may be lost during high heat cooking! Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they hold almost all of their nutritional value and flavor.

This unit differs from other dehydrators because of its unique horizontal drying system in the rear of the unit. This provides a sure way to provide an even dehydration process as the warm air removes moisture and is pushed out the front of the machine.

"Absolute Junk" 2009-03-10
By kayyoga (USA)
I don't have a lot of space and thought that this 4 tray dehydrator would be the perfect solution. This thing is JUNK!!! The temperature control is completely inaccurate. On top of that, it only worked about 10 times before the heat failed completely. I tried the reset instructions to no avail. I then called the company and they made some excuse about the "rare" need for fuse replacement. The rep convinced me that it was a fluke and that the machine would most likely never need another fuse. I wanted to protect my investment so decided to chance it. It cost about $20 for the fuse/shipping. Installation instructions were fairly straight forward though it took some hassle to get everything back in place. I used the machine about 8-10 more times before it died again. What a complete waste of money--- I wish I had never purchased this product. I called the company and they offered (at full charge) to send me another fuse or I could send the product to them for repair. The cost to ship there and back plus the outrageous repair fee would equal close to what I paid for the thing in the first place. When you look inside, this thing is built like one of those light-bulb-on-a-battery things you throw together as a kid. That would be a bonus if the parts and repair were priced in accordance. This company knows how to make lots of money. I wish they had the same ambition when it came to making a decent product. I'm going back to the $30 model at my local store. Those round tray versions get a lot of bad mouthing by this company. Maybe that's because they actually LAST and they also cost (for the entire unit) only slightly more than the puny fuse in the Excalibur. Don't fall for the marketing hype like I did. This company does not stand by its product.

"Total crap" 2008-07-25
By M. Stone (San Antonio, Texas)
If you do a Google search, which I should have done up front, you will see that the temperature control on these units is awful.

I have to crank mine up all the way to 145F to get the internal temp up to 100F (not even warm enough to dry without spoiling.)

Older Excaliber units were very good. As is the case with so many companies today, manufacturing has gone down hill. Fewer and fewer new purchasers are pleased with this product. I wish I had kept my shipping material. Lesson learned.

"What a waste of money!" 2007-11-29
By Camp Chef
Okay, I thought I would save some cash and buy this dehydrator over a different brand that was more expensive. One side of the tray will dehydrate much faster that the other so you have to keep checking it and rotate the tray every now and then to regulate the air flow. Try checking it every couple hours when you're drying something that takes about 16-20 hours! I thought that was the most annoying thing that could happen, but it got better! Apperantly the side that dehydrates really fast is also MELTING the plastic tray! If I mention the other brand this is going to sound like I'm trying to increase sales for the other guys, but I'm not so just do the research and get a better (yes, probably more expensive) dehydrator that will work properly!

"Don't waste your money" 2005-10-10
By steve (CT)
I used this one time and it stopped working. The one time that I did use it, it took forever (3 days) to dry hot peppers which I had quartered. I'm sure it probably burnt out.

I'll probably get another one with a little more power - probably starting at 1000 Watts. I advise you do the same.

"best of the best" 2009-12-17
By R. Jensen
This food dehydrator is sooooooo good. Comes with a great full sized book with drying times and lots of receipes for the dried foods.

My house is solar and the Excaliber doesn't draw too much electricity to be a problem.

I have saved more food from my garden this year then ever before. All that produce that you can't find time to can - dry it. Takes less space and you don't have to kill all the enzymes so you are eating "better".

"Dang buzzing drives me crazy" 2009-12-14
By Ethosian (Earthquake Zone, California)
My mother got me hooked on dried persimmons, but she passed away last year, so since I have a couple of persimmon trees I decided to try making some dried persimmons of my own. We made a ton of them and the great thing about this dryer is that there is quite a bit of room so we can make a fairly large quantity in each batch. We used most of our persimmons to make jam and still had enough persimmons to dry about five batches - it's amazing how many persimmons you get from two trees! We look forward to trying it with tomatoes and some of the other fruit from our garden next year.

The only real problem we had was that the lid pushed the trays into the safety screen which rubbed against the fan making the most annoying buzz - probably wasn't too good for the fan either. There isn't any way to adjust the height of the fan, so I used some pliers (took three attempts) and bent the screen so it's a little more square instead of rounded, and it is much better. Even so if you push the door closed too far - BUZZZ!

The manual suggests you can use this thing when making bread to create a warm spot for the dough to rise so I tried it, but it's a rather impractical suggestion. The dehydrator fan runs whenever it's on so it's noisy even if it isn't buzzing and I think it wastes energy to leave it running for hours while bread rises -- better to warm the oven and stick the dough in there to rise (just my opinion).

"The best dehydrator for raw fooders!" 2009-07-01
By Evalina (Palma Sola, FL USA)
I purchased my White 9 tray Excalibur 3000 series 2 years ago and I'm so very pleased that I did!

I purchased it directly from Excaliber and not through Amazon or any of its third party sellers. At the time, Excaliber/KBI direct was the only way to purchase the 3000 series white model but the price was good, shipping free, the service excellent ~ plus, and a big plus with me, a free 10 year warranty!

As it is quite a large(but light-weight)appliance, the white is less imposing than the black model in my small white kitchen. It has worked exceedingly well to meet the requirements of my raw vegan diet. It did get a lot of use the first year that I had it, more so then than now. I have been eating less dehydrated food so don't use it as often as I first did but still I find it easy to use and handy when I do need a dehydrator and I'm glad to have one.

My only problem, and it's a minor one, is the noise. It is not especially quiet but I still give it 5 stars. I have remedied the problem easily enough by simply moving it to another room when I am dehydrating an item that requires a longer drying period, such as the tomatoes I'm dehydrating right now which have been drying for 3 days at low temperature.

If you are shopping for a good dehydrator, Excalibur is the one to buy. I recommend getting the 9 trays too. You'll be glad to have them over the smaller ones. And do shop around for the best price and consider Excaliber for that warranty.

"Outstanding and Addicting!" 2008-12-29
By Pescetarian (DFW, TX)
I researched dehydrators for almost 3 months before making a purchase, and asked a LOT of people what features they liked or disliked about their dehydrator. I discovered that the round ones, although seemingly popular (and cheaper) will not dry evenly because the fan is at the bottom, so if you have too many things on the bottom it will not let the proper amount of air above to dry the things on the upper levels - which is a MAJOR drawback! Also lots of the smaller kinds of dehydrators do not have self-timers, which I really wanted because when you're drying something for anywhere from 8 to 24 hours, you don't want to have to remember to check on it to turn it off! Another thing some people mentioned were that some smaller types can be quite noisy, which I wanted to try to avoid as much as possible. There were a few other drawbacks to the smaller and/or cheaper models, but I can't remember them now as it's been several months. One of the things that really caught my attention on the Excalibur was the fact that many people had them from the 70's and they are STILL running - reminds me of a Kitchenaid mixer...

SO - I finally decided that an Excalibur would work best, as they have built-in timers, a very varied temperature range, and the fan is located in the back of the dehydrator instead of at the bottom (which someone has already mentioned). I was also very happy to discover that the trays are dishwasher safe, and very easy to wipe down, otherwise, as well! Well, I finally broke down and clicked the 'purchase' button, and ever since then it's been no regrets!

I have used and used and used my dehydrator for 6 months now and I still have not run into one thing that I dislike about it! It's not very noisy at all - my family often mistakes it for a small fan or the air conditioner blowing. I LOVE the self timer and I don't think I could ever live without it! I can put something in when I go to bed and not have to wake up at 6AM to keep it from over-drying. I just set the timer and 'click': off it goes! I have used it for a whole week, 24 hours a day, 7 days in a row, once before and it ran fine and kept a consistent temperature. My model came with 2 Paraflexx sheets included, and I love those as well, although in some cases I believe wax paper or parchment paper would do just as well.

I have used this to dry rawfoods recipes (although I'm not a rawfoodist, I do enjoy the recipes!), for fruit leathers, made some veggie 'chips', made some strawberry-banana granola, to re-crisp stale chips, to preserve produce that is going bad from the fridge, to make yogurt, to dry sprouted beans and grains... I'm sure there's more... :-) Once you dehydrate something you will be hooked!

Trust me - if you purchase any Excalibur dehydrator you will not be disappointed in any way!

"Fantastic!!" 2008-09-21
By James E. Axsom
The Excalibur far exceeds my expectations! I have been using the "round" dehydrators for years, and while they a great for the price, you get what you pay for. I generally like to make a lot dried foods at once, with round dehydrators I was constantly swapping trays in an attempt to get everything to dry at the same rate. With the Excalibur the process is simple, about half way though the drying process I rotate trays 180 degrees and it has always come out perfect. I could not be more satisfied.

"disapointed" 2008-08-11
By Dale Short (northern Va)
I was not happy w/ the Excalibur 5. It wasn't constructed well. It was loud. It also took up a lot of room. I had to return to the manufacturer who charged a restocking fee. So I would never purchase from them again. Be certain you want it before you buy it.

"works great" 2008-04-11
By lunalee
I have had mine for several years and use it frequently and it works great. Never had a problem. I like it because it takes up less room than the much larger excalibur.

"food tray melted, electronics crapped out, can't contact company" 2007-07-25
By Aa
It worked great, until after about 20 batches, the bottom tray melted and electronics crapped out. With a 12 yr. warranty and ~$140 purchase I expected I'd have a dehydrator for life, wrong. I tried all the phone #'s, even a Canadian one, all the email addresses and they are all bunk/disconnected or don't even exist. Interesting the site appears to still be selling items though, hmmmmm. If anyone has had success with an issue like this, I would love some suggestions. -Aa

"excellent product" 2009-10-11
By Brian N. Chase
I have put animals and fruit through this thing since I bought it. Wonderful product. easily cleans, and makes fruit role-ups, dried fruit, and animal jerky. I do suggest taping a small metal screen over the hole on top. Flies can get in and lay eggs on your meat through this opening. Hey, more protein for me. According to Bear Grylls, pound for pound, insects have more protein than beef. My dehydrator has not stopped since i bought it (because I am using it). Conservatives will like this for preserving meats and foods for the family. Gay hippy liberals can dry their organic granola and pigeon feed on it thus making it a fine product for everyone.

"fantastic dehydrator" 2009-01-18
By Mitsuko Fredrickson (Ukiah, California)
I have been dehydrating tomato, banana, apple, kiwi, herbs,and beef jerky since I purchased this. My friend who suggested to get one with fan and tempreture control is responsible for choosing this product. And she was right! There is nothing I can think of the cons on this product. I am very happy to use Nesco dehydrator and can recommend it to my friends.

"Great value & great product!!!" 2008-03-18
By Laurie Miller (Seattle, WA)
I bought this item rather than the FD-1010 model because it includes 8 trays, 8 roll-up sheets and 8 screens. I think this was a great deal. I originally thought of just waiting to see if I would actually need that many screens and roll-up sheets and then buying them separately later. I'm glad I decided against that because my first drying recipe involved a total of 6 trays, each with a roll-up sheet.

The only downside to this item is that it doesn't include a timer. However, in all my research, I wasn't able to actually find a dehydrator with a timer. I just use a Christmas light timer instead. I don't find this item too bulky either. I store it on top of my fridge when not in use. I've been using it to prepare RAW foods and am happy with the lower temperature settings that are available (as low as 95 degrees). I am hoping to find a way to dry meat without having to purchase the preservative sold by Nesco (I'm allergic to the spice packet ingredients and don't need the spice packets sold along with the preservative).

"This fits the bill" 2008-01-07
By D. E. Hardy (Denver, CO)
The important aspects to look for when looking for a good dehydrator are accurate temperature control, good air flow, and adequate space for the amount of food that you want to dehydrate. I strongly feel that this machine does a superb job fulfilling each of those criteria.

I've had this dehydrator for awhile now, and have pretty much put everything I have in my kitchen into it. I've made tons of beef, elk, and deer jerky with great results. I've dried carrots, peas, corn, tomatoes, garlic, onions, star fruit, pears, strawberries, grapes (into raisins), bell peppers, jalepenos, and various garden herbs. I've even made my own chicken base with this thing. It's great.

In a home kitchen, some may complain about it being a little loud. That should be expected seeing as it is nothing more than a fan and a heating coil with a bunch of plastic trays stacked on top. I think it takes up too much space to keep in the kitchen or living room anyway, so I store mine in the basement where it can make all the noise in the world without bothering anyone. I have used this at work in the professional kitchen, and with the humming and whirling of the vents and ovens and other noise makers throughout the kitchen, it seems virtually noise free.

I've had it running non-stop for as long as a six weeks straight while drying out my garden in preparation for the winter, and have not noticed any problems with over heating or wear. As simple of a design as it is, it seems to be built fairly solid. I'm definitely happy with my investment.

"Service - What A Joke!" 2009-07-17
By Joe Babic (Riverton, UT USA)
I received the L Equip FilterPro Food Dehydrator on July 3. The weekend of the 4th I started drying some apples. Everything ok. A few days later started drying $25.00 worth of apricots. About 11 hours after starting, the unit turned off and would not restart. Called the 800 warranty number and had to leave a message. No return call. Since I am about 20 miles from the importer in North Salt Lake, Utah (the unit is made in Korea)I called their 801 regular number. Was greeted by a "Good Morning, service department" individual. I explained the problem and asked if I could just bring the defective unit in and have it repaired. "we don't repair defective units" was the response. He was willing to send me a new unit! Only problem was he would not have any in for THREE TO FOUR WEEKS!

I replied that maybe I should return the defective unit to Amazon and order a competitive brand. He replied "That's probably a good idea"!

Buyer beware if you are concerned about timely warranty repairs.

"Upgraded dehydrator" 2009-07-11
By K. R. Ness (AZ)
We've been dehydrating foods and making beef jerky for years and decided it was time to upgrade. We've now used the LEquip FilterPro several times and are very happy with the use and results.

"Not As Advertised by Amazon" 2009-07-03
By Sondra @ Just Clucking Around (Plano, Tx)
Well, I haven't used it yet because it just got here and does not have all the trays promised by Amazon. Their description says it comes with 20 trays. The extra trays is what swayed me toward this model and manufacturer over the Nesco American Harvest. They also claim to have a 10 year warranty on this unit but the box I received says it has a 6 year warranty. Will Amazon honor the other 4 years? THIS IS JUST SO DISAPPOINTING. Amazon doesn't even have an avenue for complaining about such things. I feel that I cannot trust the seller (Amazon) any more since I based my decisions on what they told me about the products they are selling.

"happy with my purchase" 2009-06-27
By Amanda (seattle, WA)
I was torn between getting the L'equip and the Excaliber. Since I'm a novice in the dehydrating realm, I wasn't sure which one suited me better. In the end, I went with the Excaliber because if the LED timer/temp setting, the long warranty, the good reviews, and the ability to purchase many more trays if I need them. I found a slight glitch in mine upon arrival and the company immediately sent me a replacement within a couple of days by UPS. Their customer service is top-notch. They even sent me some yogurt recipes by email when I wrote that I needed a good one. It works well. If you only use 4 trays you don't need to rotate. 6 or more and you do - but that doesn't bother me (as I like to check periodically on them anyway). I've made great jerky, fruit leathers, and apple chips that my family enjoys. When the fruit is drying my house smells like an orchard. I recommend this one.

"L'Equip FilterPro Food Dehydrator" 2009-03-10
By ROADHAWG (Medway, MA)
Nice unit, smartly designed and easy to use. I'm primarily making beef jerky, and trying different recipes is a lot of fun. I got unit for Christmas and have made 5 batches of jerky. Loved doing it and the jerky was I have to admit is very good.

That last batch of jerky was where my problem started, about an hour before the jerky was finished the dehydrator started completely losing power. Fan would shut off, the LEDs went off, but a rap on the side would get it to run for a while. I had to do this a couple of times got that batch of jerky finished.

I called Kitchen Resources (the number on the enclosed warranty information) and told them what was happening. They told me they would send me a new base (it was all I needed the rest is trays, lid, etc., no moving parts). Well a few days later a whole new units shows up, I swapped out the base units, (I really fought the urge to take additional trays). Retaped the box, used the supplied prepaid UPS shipping label and sent it back.

Kitchen Resources could not have made this any easier. With a 12 year warranty that is truely honored. Kitchen Resources should be proud of themselves and their products!

"Great Jerky Maker" 2009-02-08
By T. Williamson (Boston and VT)
This is a great dehydrator, perfect for beef jerky. Having the heat and fan unit on the top makes for much easier clean up. This unit replaced my old Gardenmaster, which had the fan on the bottom. They both worked perfectly, but the old one was difficult to clean. The new unit also has added features such as a digital temp gauge, and a digital timer. Both are great features, and help add to an already great product.

I highly recommend.

"Best of the Best" 2009-07-20
By Rev. Dr. Cyn (Bay Area, CA United States)
This machine is the simplest when it comes to storage, use, and clean-up. It fits easily on my pantry shelf (sideways), though I have to say, I use it more than store it. I highly recommend buying the model with an automatic timer -- this way, you can turn it on and walk away.

The shelves are easy to load, insert, and eventually clean. The unit is quiet and uses very little electricity.

"too loud!" 2009-09-20
By E. Magoon (Vermont)
We used this dehydrator a lot in the fall to dry apples and herbs from the garden...it worked well for what we needed it for, except it was very loud. Loud enough to not hear the TV over it! It also seemed like it got very warm, and I didn't dare to use it anywhere but on the ceramic stove top. It also didn't last very long, I think we had it for 2 years.

"Loud but good" 2009-08-31

"Almost perfect!" 2009-11-05
By gettin' older
This is an nice alternative to the expensive ones out there. However, the plastic trays are not as durable as the expensive ones and would break a bit easier. I ordered non-stick sheets from Amazon also. The top tray doesn't get adequate coverage from the fan, but I've found that to be true in other dehydrators as well. One thing I really love about this product is that it comes in a choice of three sizes: 6, 8, and 10 shelves. And the price is right!

"Expensive Fan -- be careful" 2009-07-15
By S. Muchovej (Owens Valley, CA)
Perhaps it was just the unit that got sent to me, but this item could not dehydrate things even in a desert. literally. I live in the high desert of California, and once I got the dehydrator tried to dehydrate some cherries from my tree. After THREE DAYS in the dehydrator, they started drying a little. I suspect it was a broken heating element, but I've returned it nonetheless and will go for a more reliable brand. I would rate this item poorly, but I do rate Amazon's return department very highly.

"Solved the Problem!" 2009-03-30
By T. Guymon (Pensacola, FL USA)
I've tried dehydrators before, the cheapies you find in thrift stores, but they never worked. I finally did a little research and learned that the horizontal airflow type is best, and I looked for something inexpensive. Knowing "you get what you pay for," I was a little nervous that the Weston 6-tray dehydrator was so cheap, but I bought one. Wow! I am delighted! It dries sliced tomatoes perfectly. Sliced bananas become little bonbons. I even tried drying potato slices--blah, they're not potato chips, they're crumbly and bitter. But that wasn't the dehydrator's fault. Everything I have put in, it has dried perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

"Silly design, burns food" 2009-11-21
By TA (Chicago IL)
The food will be dried at different speeds, not just because this is a tray tower and the heater is onj the bottom but it also manages to burn food on one side of the circle while the other side remains not dried. Also the towering of trays is odd, trays seem to fit but then you will realize they are not quite mounted.

"Endless possibilities!" 2009-03-25
By Beverly Drennan
I started out just using the dehydrator for making beef jerkey but am using it for all my backpacking food needs. I love to dry fruits and make leathers! I can dry salsa at home and rehydrate it on the trail for a wonderful treat. Dried soups and spaghetti sauce also work out well.

"Great product" 2009-12-21
By E. Woodbury (CA)
Had this for 5 days and I have already made raw granola, dried fruits and fruit rolls for my kids. Easy to use and fun to try new recipes.

"Not worth time and money" 2009-09-14
By S. Gross (PA)
I bought the dehydrator primarily to dry herbs. The reviews made it sound great. 20 to 24 hours to dry some herbs. I understand it does not take much power, but that is too long for me to run electricity. You had to make sure your scheduled permitted you to be home when it was time to turn off. My herbs were never dry after 24 hours. The herbs did not crumble like they should have. The instructions were not very good. Never mentioned you had to use all the trays. Plus alot more the manual never told you. I called Nesco at least three times. They were very helpful. I do not recommend this product. I am unable to return it and very unhappy with the product. I will give it away.

"Great Dehydrator for the Price!" 2009-08-16
By Gray Lady (Upstate New York, USA)
Was looking for a dehydrator to dry my spices, parsley, basil, etc. Bought this based on other reviews I had read and I am not disappointed. Comes with 4 trays and 1 tray for making fruit rollups, jerky. However, did not come with plastic mesh screens, which keep small spices from falling through the racks when they dry. Had to purchase those separately. Found them for $5.99 for 2 at Bed Bath and Beyond. Have not yet made anything else with this, but can't wait to try banana chips.

"Nesco Dehydrator" 2008-11-30
By lola mola (los angeles)
Absolutely met our expectations! Our old dehydrator used one, 100 Watt light bulb and took up to 18 hours for two trays of beef jerky. We can now do twice the amount in 1/3 the time and clean up is easier, too. Bananas came out good, too. We're still experimenting...are very pleased right now.

"Fantastic Beef Jerky" 2008-11-30
By mydogsnameisgunsmoke (So California)
I love Beef Jerky! I sometimes go thru a bag (8oz) in a day, and such a habit can get kinda expensive. Also the store bought stuff is rather tough sometimes, and different brands vary greatly in quality. Frankly, some are down right awful.

I borrowed a dehydrator from a friend and made 2 batches. The first batch tasted very good, but they came out like little sticks of wood. The 2nd was much much better, but it was a lot of work as the unit had a bottom heating coil, and no fan/force air. I had to turn and rotate and pull meat off at different stages. Still it was a huge success and it let me know that Beef Jerky ala a dehydrator was the answer.

After a few days research, I settled on this make and model for it's top heating and fan blower feature, and I am very happy with the selection.

I've spent several days now making about 8 to 10 lbs of Jerky. Mesquite Jerky, Dry Rub Jerky (several of these), Honey Teriyaki Chicken and Beef Jerky, Pepper Jerky, Hawaiian Jerky, etc.

The fan really speeds up the process. 2 lbs of meat fills not quite 3 racks, and is complete in 3-5 hours.

If you love lean, high protein, delicious, easy, fun and creative jerky making, this is your next purchase.

Finally a tip. Whatever you marinate or season your jerky with will be concentrated in the final edible finished state. If you try some liquid smoke a little bit goes a long long way. For marination, add 50% water to cut down on the wet feel of jerky if you like your jerky to be soft and easy to chew.

"Absolute Junk" 2009-07-16
By kayyoga (USA)
I left a review for this product back in March but somehow it was moved to another listing. I'll attempt leaving the review again with the hopes of saving another unsuspecting buyer from wasting his/her money:

I don't have a lot of space and thought that this 4 tray dehydrator would be the perfect solution. This thing is JUNK!!! The temperature control is completely inaccurate. On top of that, it only worked about 10 times before the heat failed completely. I tried the reset instructions to no avail. I then called the company and they made some excuse about the "rare" need for fuse replacement. The rep convinced me that it was a fluke and that the machine would most likely never need another fuse. I wanted to protect my investment so decided to chance it. It cost about $20 for the fuse/shipping. Installation instructions were fairly straight forward though it took some hassle to get everything back in place. I used the machine about 8-10 more times before it died again. What a complete waste of money--- I wish I had never purchased this product. I called the company and they offered (at full charge) to send me another fuse or I could send the product to them for repair. The cost to ship there and back plus the outrageous repair fee would equal close to what I paid for the thing in the first place. When you look inside, this thing is built like one of those light-bulb-on-a-battery things you throw together as a kid. That would be a bonus if the parts and repair were priced in accordance. This company knows how to make lots of money. I wish they had the same ambition when it came to making a decent product. I'm going back to the $30 model at my local store. Those round tray versions get a lot of bad mouthing by this company. Maybe that's because they actually LAST and they also cost (for the entire unit) only slightly more than the puny fuse in the Excalibur. Don't fall for the marketing hype like I did. This company does not stand by its product.

My husband has become the "jerky" king of our town and he has been complaining about having to wait so long before putting another batch in to dry. The new trays now bring our total tray count up to 12 which is the maximum. Now he can do all of the jerky at one time by just rotationg the trays every so often. It is a great product!

"Prefer it over the Excalibur" 2009-10-09
By Love's Body (Ashland, Oregon)
I use it for Raw Foods dishes. I do think everyone in the Raw Foods Community is a little brainwashed by Excalibur. I don't work for L'Equipe. I just like this better.

Advantages

1) quieter

2) heat only the trays you are using

3) less expensive

4) looks better too, on your counter, etc.

Disadvantages

1) some people might consider it a disadvantage that there is a hole in the middle of the tray. This could limit making a single size large Raw Foods pizza, instead of several smaller ones. That's the only disadvantage I can think of.

I bought it hoping it would be quieter, and because all Excalibur's price controlling was irking me. I am happy with it :)

"Great product" 2009-10-08
By Ditah (PA United States)
About a month ago, I purchased this model.......dehydrator from you, and it's been running constantly. I have dehydrated all kinds of fruits and vegetables with it, and have gotten very good results. I have also made bread and banana bars, and they were delicious. Overall, I am very please with this machine.

"GREAT VALUE" 2009-09-28
By Bostarius (Columbus, Ohio USA)
I make beef jerky 2-3 times a week. This dehydrator can't get enough. I use one tray or all six trays and each tray drys evenly. I've had other less expensive dryers before and either the trays warped beyond use or the fan gave out. This machine has been very stable. Great Value and highly recommended.

"Works great but needs rotated often" 2009-09-13
By John Rosa (Pittsburgh)
The dehydrator works as advertised with the exception of the rotating...You need to rotate a couple times to keep the fruit and meat evenly dried....The only other negative I would give it is that there is no timer....But I knew that when purchasing but it would be nice to have an automatic shut off....I find myself not drying as much as I would like because of my schedule and the fact that the machine cannot turn itself off....I guess I could get a 3rd party timer though....Cinnamon and lemon juice on sliced apples makes your house smell like a Thanksgiving morning Apple Pie.....))))

"fruit roll up trays" 2009-12-03
By Susan Paoletta (brecksville, ohio)
These are great. My kids love to come up with new flavors of roll ups and I do not mind them having them knowing that they are made with real fruit. Their favorite kinds are peach and pear so far. Time veries greatly on drying depending on how much you pour into the trays. However in the end they come out GREAT!

"very happy" 2009-10-24

Work perfectly, had no problems removing fruit roll-up from sheet. I don't grease the sheets before use like the instructions call for just pour on my puree and away I go. Easily peels off.

"Makes delicious family treats!" 2009-10-01
By Mom of 5 plus 15 dogs (BLOOMER, WI USA)
I recently purchased a Nesco Food dehydrator and got these fruit roll-up sheet too. They are wonderful to dry fruits for delicious fruit roll ups. We had some apples and cranberries frozen from our recent harvest and this combination made a really good snack, my whole family loves them. We also tried plums which turned out very tasty and tart which is also a nice change. These sheets will quickly pay for themselves as we are using them frequently! The directions say you should spray the sheet before putting your fruit on to dry, well I did spray two and forgot to spray two, and all came off of the tray quickly and easily.

Have used this 3 times now and it is wonderful for making fruit rollups. The only problem I have is getting the rollups off the sheet--I already have scratched the surface. I think it is user error, not product design. We are enjoying the rollups and having fun concocting new flavors. This sheet makes it possible.

"The Christmas gift that will keep on giving!" 2009-12-04
By Jasmyne Huffman (ohio usa)
I just finished my first batch of dried fruit and am very excited!I wanted to make trail-mix and fruit rolls for Chirstmas gifts instead of baked goods. So, after researching dehydrators online I was hopeful that the Nesco FD-1018P would be a quality investment.Thankfully, I am confident that I made the right choice.The machine came two days after being ordered(complete with external plastic wrap,I am assuming was for the weather) and is just as advertised.It has great holding capacity(so glad I went with the 8 tray version,used 6 on my first batch), is really quiet for such a large machine, and has been drying evenly and quickly!Some reviews have mentioned the need for a timer on the unit but I put my dehydrator in the basement and cannot hear a timer upstairs in the kitchen(where I spend most of my time).Dehydrating food is not rocket science and this Nesco FD-1018P makes it even simpler.This unit will best serve someone wanting to dehydrate foods at max speed and capacity.

Very nice dehydrator. Easy to clean screens. I use this for my small business and am able to usually do about 2 batches of dried fruits a day.

"HEALTHY JERKY!" 2009-06-30
By Horses 4 Terri (Sacramento area, CA USA)
I have never owned a dehydrator before, but decided to splurge and get a big one as I have a big family and we raise our own beef. I made the first batch of jerky. It finished up 7 pounds of beef in 3-5 hours. The smaller, thinner pieces took less time. The next batch I put the smaller pieces on the top racks so I could remove them sooner and let the thicker, larger pieces for a few more hours. It was easy to clean with a plastic brush. The racks are quite large and would be inefficient to put in the dishwasher, but apparently you can. I did not use the sodium nitrite as it may not be good for you. We refrigerated and froze the jerky until we were ready to eat it.

"gardenmaster dehydrator rip" 2009-05-01
By Pam Toubeaux (oregon)
I purchased a new base for the gardenmaster as I had all of the racks etc. The first base lasted about 15 years. The second base lasted five years. At that time I purchased a whole new gardenmaster because I thought I would be nice to have 8 racks. That base lasted two months out of warranty and now that needed to be replaced at the cost of $90.00 again!! Don't waste your money on this product . Their quality control is terrible.

By D. Stevens
Love this dehydrator used a couple different ones but loved this one- the 1018 is basicly the 1010 with 4 eatra trays and liners etc. at least that what mine is! But this machine works great I've used up to 18 trays so far and it has no problem drying! If you want a dehydrator this is the one to get!

"I'm a beginner for this Dehydrator.." 2009-12-15
By Linda Edwards
Hi, my review on Nesco American Harvest Food Dehydrator. I made jerky the old fashion way and had to throw it away, I lefted it to long outside in a plastic container and got mold. Did not do it right and the taste wasn't right. Now, buying the Nesco American Harvest was different, with the proper directions, the jerky came out great. Being a beginner. The first time I added to much salt. One thing I do like is the kit, to use ground meat, it's wonderful, uniform size as you have control over the length. On the turkey jerky, you don't want to add to much salt, maybe 1/4 of the salt, as for me it was to salty. My daughter and son-in-law liked it. I'm still experimenting. Overall for what I'm using it for it's great. I haven't used it on vegetables or fruit yet. Follow the directions Nesco know what they are doing. You do have to turn it off the machine yourself, does not have a automatic turn off, Plus, you really cannot judge as to how much your drying. It's better to turn off as you can check the progress. Also, with the meat hot, it's better to wrap in paper towels to get off lefted over oils in the meat. Enjoy as I'm going to have the perfect batch.

"I'm Addicted to Dehydrating!" 2009-12-10
By N. Lemler (Northwest Wisconsin)
We purchased the Nesco FD-35 about three weeks ago... and already have made (and ate) at least 20 pounds of beef and turkey jerky, with the assistance of the nifty jerky gun (included in my purchase and highly recommended). The dehydration time is fast, and it dehydrates all five included racks evenly. I will be purchasing two more racks so can't speak to the dehydration times and quality for additional racks (yet). Yes, it is a bit noisy, but the delicious smells that emits from it makes me forget about the sound. For those worried, it sounds a bit like a space heater with a fan. It is easy to clean, easy to operate (you just flip a switch), and the temperature is perfect for most anything you want to dehydrate. I did hear things about it being too hot for drying herbs, but I have experimented with anything and everything in my fridge and no problems. It does get a bit warm but never hot. You don't need to worry about being burned by any of the parts. Would I buy it again if I had the chance? Yes. Heck, I would buy more than just one. In fact, I am going to be buying another because we have so many requests for jerky from family and friends.

"Great product" 2009-08-24
By Jason Mirandi
Bought this largely based on the reviews here and because I didn't want to spend over $200 like some of the units out there. This thing is GREAT. I was very apprehensive about it, but it does a perfect job with jerky. The jerky I've made is store-bought quality. I'm a happy, happy man.

"Excellent dehydrator" 2009-07-10
By Norma A. Fehr (Sarasota, FL)
My husband and I love peppers, he's been growing a lot of them, so he dries most of them and freezes them. He loves this dehydrator, he says it works excellent and he is really happy with the purchase. He has used it a lot.

"dehydrator screens" 2009-10-12
By W. Brigger (Randolph, Ohio USA)
They sent the wrong ones, which I now have to pay the return shipping on. Not happy!

"No more sticky fruit" 2009-10-07
By M. D. Cummings (Kanosh,, Utah United States)
These screens make it so when you are drying sticky foods, the food doesn't stick. They are great you just have to slide the food off when it is dry and away you go.

"Works well" 2009-04-30
By Heather Goodwin
These work pretty well. Pricey and the food still stuck some. If you put them in the dishwasher, make sure to take them out while they are still hot and lay them flat or they end up pretty wavy and curled up. It makes storage a little problematic.

"Useful screens for drying" 2008-11-16
By G. ASH (Duncan, OK USA)
These screens are very helpful in drying fruits and vegies, especially those that tend to stick when drying. These can also be trimmed to fit smaller driers.

"Easy peel-up" 2008-10-06
By S.R. Shoress (Portland, OR)
These screens make it so much quicker to remove your dry results for storage! I predominately dry fruit and by the time it's dry, it virtually glues itself to the tray, but it pulls off these screens like magic. The name, however, is a little deceiving- clean-a-screen? Using these screens doesn't actually make shorter work of the cleaning part of the process.

"The Best Dehydrator!" 2009-12-14
By L Toohill (Macon, GA)
I am so glad that I chose the Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator as my first one. It is a solid and reliable product, and I have been using it constantly since my purchase a few months ago. It is easy to clean and use. I'm thrilled with it and wouldn't purchase any other!

"my 3 year old daughter is actually asking for dehydrated pineapple rather than candy now!!!" 2009-11-02
By addicted to gardening (chicago burbs, il)
within a week of receiving this, i was dehydrating apples, pineapple (the perfect candy!), watermelon, kale, pumpkin seeds, and making beef jerky. mine lives in the basement so it is definitely not loud in the rest of the house. when i go downstairs, it sounds more like white noise - it is not quiet but not annoying either. it does a fantastic job dehydrating everything i have tried thus far and everyone at work has put in their holiday request for fruits and beef jerky. mine does not have the timer but i do not need it. i purchased a digital lcd timer that i can program to run when i want for up to 23 hours. i will be using this as a proofing box soon since gardening season has ended and bread making season is officially about to begin. soooooo many things to try with this and so little time. did i mention my 3 year old is now asking for pineapple rather than candy? BONUS!!!

"defective right out of the box" 2009-10-18
By Greta Y. Rossi
I just bought this and the heating element does not work. The directions tell you to take it apart, and change the fuse. I am not a mechanic and I am not doing that. I should not have to fix a brand new machine I just paid for. This is a royal pain in the ass and a huge waste of time. By the time you figure out that it is not working, your food is ruined, and your day is shot. This thing is a piece of junk. I am very lost now, because this dehydrator is so highly recommended. What the heck am I going to buy now?

"Polycarbonate = BPA ???" 2009-07-14
By QueenOPearls (Lakewood, OH)
I would love to know if there is a non-stainless steel dehydrator which is BPA free. This is such a popular item but the idea of placing raw food on/in polycarbonate is unnerving.

"This thing is great!" 2009-07-12
By D. Cochrane (USA)
This dehydrator works like a Mac Truck! I love it, it works great.

It's powerful and has temperature control. I did not go for the extra expense of a 26 hour timer, I always manage to find time in a given 26 hour period to check my drying progress.

The mesh liners clean easily in sudsy water.

It's true what they say, it's loud and it's hot... but for crying out loud, there is a powerful fan blowing 95 to 155 degrees of heated air though your fruits and vegetables, what do you expect? That powerful fan is what drys your trays of food evenly.

Get real - If you sit it in your kitchen on a summer day you're going to end up with a hot humid kitchen.

I usually run it in my enclosed patio.

I'm looking forward to it doing double duty in our cold Ohio winters, I'll heat a room while I dry my food.

Yep my cup is 1/2 full, the Excalibur 2900 is work horse that doesn't fool around at dehydrating food.

"Good Flavor, not good ingredients" 2009-12-09
By Stacy (Cincinnati, OH United States)
The packets are extremely convenient and takes the guessing out of how much seasoning to use. However, after eating the jerky, I developed a few sores in my mouth. I emailed NESCO to get a list of the ingredients and there is MSG and sodium nitrate in the packets. If you are someone that cares about your health, these are not items that you would want to ingest on a regular basis or at all.

By Don B (Garner,NC)
A great value for a great product.I have purchased other jerky seasoning kits,and nothing comes close to this.My only disappointment (and it was minor) was that I didn't really care for the teriyaki,as it was a little bland.We have a NESCO dehydrator, and these two go hand in hand.

By Cynthia D. Dotson (Logandale, NV)
In this time of uncertainty, it has become more and more important to me to be gathering items of food storage for myself and my family. I feel like a real multi tasker when I am dehydrating something, studying for my classes and then throw a load of laundry in!!

I find that this machine is much quicker than my other 2 dehydrators! I like being able to set the time and the temp and then walk away from it!! SO far so good!! I am very happy with my purchase and with the purchase price! I feel that I got a great deal!! Thank you Amazon!!

"Great for the Gardenmaster" 2009-10-26
By rural md transplant
We also have a Nesco Gardenmaster food dehydrator (#FD-1000/FD-1010) and have been using it for over 5 years +; several times throughout the year. These are great for adding to our 30 tray capacity unit. We currently have 14 and could really use more during apple season and when in the mood for making tons of jerky! They have been holding up well and we wash them by hand as well as putting a couple at a time on the top rack of the dishwasher with air dry at the end. They have held up well minus a few stacking connectors which have broken off - which doesn't affect the dehydrator's performance. Storage came up after receiving more trays for a gift so we purchased a large plastic lidded trash can and now have room for all our dehydrating supplies. Anyone with this unit will appreciate more trays - great gift idea.

I bought extra trays for my FD 1010 - you are supposed to be able to get up to 30 trays but I've only used 20 myself- and it workd great! Although I bought a couple and then decided 2 weeks later I wanted more they went up $3 which was a bummer. But on the whole extra trays are very handy.

"Poor shipping damages a good product" 2009-12-10
By PJ
I originally purchased five of the Premium Non-Stick Drying sheets, which came properly packaged in a mailing tube - the product has been great for making fruit leathers. However, when I ordered more sheets, they came simply thrown/stuffed in a box, and each had suffered creases that damaged the surface. I returned these with a note regarding the poor packing, and later ordered five more sheets. Unfortunately, these sheets also arrived unprotected and creased, basically just thrown into a box. I do not recommend purchasing an otherwise good product from this vendor until they improve their shipping methods.

"Most efficient dehydrator" 2009-11-04
By 2pedals (TN United States)
This is my second dehydrator. The first one I saved a little money and bought the Nesco FD-80 American Harvest Square-Shaped Dehydrator it works but if you are serious about dehydrating then you want to get an Excalibur. It is amazing the difference in how much more efficient the dryer is with the fan blowing across the food instead of like my first dehydrator that pushed the air vertically through the food. The Excalibur is noisier than the Nesco I had. But with it being better at drying I don't have to run it as long. It does not bother me that there is no timer. You can't really over dehydrate if it ends up running a few hours longer than needed because you are sleeping. I would not want it to shut off in the middle of the night sitting there until I woke up. If you leave dehydrated food out in the room air for long it will absorb moisture from the room air. If you want some good information on how to dehydrate the excalibur website has free instructional videos. [...].

I ordered this product one evening and before 10 AM the NEXT morning, I had it in my hands. Great job guys! Shades of Zappos!

Oh did I mention, this remarkable level of shipping was FREE? Killer!!

"Beware -- no timer" 2009-09-20
By John Harrison (Ohio)
WHAT YOU GET

A lightweight box of molded plastic.

A metal back with a fan, heating coils, and a thermostat.

9 plastic trays.

GOOD

This thing is big. It dries a lot of food very quickly.

BAD

This models has no shut off timer. If you leave it blasting away overnight you will over-dry. Thus a shut off timer is very important. Unfortunately, I figured this out only after mine arrived. The cost to replace my no-timer model with one that works is a 15% restocking fee + shipping out and back -- about $100.

Noisy.

Middle trays dry quicker than top and bottom trays.

Difficult clean up. Trays have huge holes covered with a removable plastic mesh. Mesh must be hand-cleaned, but they're too big to fit in a sink or any container we own.

BOTTOM LINE

2-stars and a Don't buy recommendation for the no-timer model.

I would buy a timer model.

"Worth every penny" 2009-08-18
By Ross E. Nelson (Casselton, North Dakota United States)
I've used virtually every dehydrator on the market and even a few home-made versions. Trust me when I say that this dehydrator is the best you can get for the money.

The round tower-type dehydrators are inexpensive for a good reason: they aren't worth it.

-The trays are flimsy and crack too easily.

-The holes on these trays are too big to use with herbs or diced foods, so you must use the mesh inserts.

-You only have about 1/2" of space between trays, so you cannot dry bulky items--like flowers or granola.

-When it comes to fruit leather, the only thing more inefficient than the round shape is the hole in the middle. Yes, I know they come with fruit leather trays, but have you ever tried to store fruit leather pealed off of the tray and rolled up? A shredded mess to begin with and a sticky mess once they've stored for a while.

-With the motor on the bottom any food or juices that fall through the cracks shortens the life of the machine.

-The drying process in these tower-types is not uniform--the bottom trays dry quicker than the top trays, the center dries quicker than the edges.

-Some models have only recently started adding temp controls. Still, it does little good because there is more heat on the bottom than the top.

-The motor is loud--I had one model I had to run on the porch because it was so loud.

The two round models I bought died within a year and a half of use.

The next best dehydrator on the market is the L'Eqip. It is much quieter, comes with a healthy 10yr warranty and has temperature controls. But it is a hybrid with many of the faults of the round models and few of the benefits of the square-shaped Excalibur. It still has a hole in the middle. It still dries unevenly. It has deeper trays but you still can't dry flowers. It still has a motor on the bottom. I have a friend who dried berries in her L'Equip. They leaked on the motor and it died the first summer of use. Now granted, the folks at L'Equip stood by their machine and replaced it for her with no hassle, but how many times do you want your summer-time dehydrating held up while you wait for your replacement to come?

The Excalibur is perfect for anyone who is serious about dehydrating. Here are the features that I like:

-Heat source and fan are in the back, forcing air to distribute evenly throughout the chamber. Other than the way you place the food, there is no reason for uneven drying spots.

-Love the timer. I can set it and leave. It'll turn off automatically whether or not I'm there. That means 'round the clock drying during the height of your summer harvest. Put the food in when you go to bed, wake up to dried food and put another batch in.

-Temp control lets you choose low heats for herbs and flowers, higher temps for fruits and jerky.

-Love the square trays. For fruit leather I line the trays with plastic wrap and spread the fruit puree out. When it's dry I cut the leather into 2" wide strips, roll them up and secure with the tail end of the plastic wrap. The plastic peels off easily when it's time to eat.

-BIG trays--you can pack a LOT of food into this. This is especially important at the height of the summer harvest when there's a non-stop stream of food that needs drying. (This is also the one single thing that is in my negative column--the trays don't fit flat in my kitchen sink, making them a little hard to wash. I solve this by washing them in my outdoor garden sink--old fashioned tubs on a stand. Since I like the big trays, I really shouldn't complain.)

-Mesh liner on all trays. I can dry herbs, diced onions and finely chopped fruits without having it fall to trays below. No food cross-contamination means I can dehydrate more than one thing at a time.

-Removable trays. If I have bulky items--flowers, herbs, granola, etc--I can just remove every other tray and have another 1/2" or more room.

-Makes a great proofing box for sourdough. Also good for culturing yogurt, esp if you like to make it in larger containers. For both sourdough and yogurt, make sure it is covered so that the moving air doesn't dry it out.

-10 yr warranty. I've had mine for almost 15 yrs and it's still going strong. Every year the money I save on herbs alone pays for what it originally cost me. That means this machine has paid for itself 15 times over.

If you're at all serious about dehydrating, don't waste your money like I did--get the best from the get go. That's the Excalibur.

(Written by Ross' wife. He's also happy that I like it so well and have gotten so much good use from it.)

"Helpful in cleanup" 2009-09-14
By Jeffrey A. Hensley (Harrisonburg, VA)
These are great, they keep your veggies from sticking to the trays, and herbs from falling through the cracks. I have 12 of them, one for each tray.

I found that if I use these all the time, I often only have to wash these, and the trays are still clean. It's a lot easier putting 12 of these in the sink, than 12 of the trays!

"A must for dehydrating sticky foods ..." 2009-08-14
By M. Blackford (Oklahoma)
These screens are a must have if you're dehydrating sticky foods! My Nesco dehydrator only came with two of these, so I ordered more so I could have them in each tray. They allow you to pick up the clean-a-screen when you're done hydrating and flex them so the stuck items just pop off. They are very, very handy. I actually use them with everything I dehydrate. Plus they seem to hold up really well ... I've been using mine for a few months now with several trips through the dehydrator and washing (hand washing) and haven't had a single break, tear, crack, etc.

"worth the investment" 2009-05-18
By Tav (Colorado)
These screens make cleaning up after certain foods much easier. Sometimes you do not even have to wash the trays themselves, just the screens. I dry banana chips and other fruits, and the flexibility of the screens makes it very easy to release the fruit from the tray. They are also invaluable if you dry small or fragile items such as herbs that would drop through the trays.

"I Love it!!" 2009-02-10
By Mom of (Virginia)
I loved the tray that came with my Nesco Dehydrator so much; I had to have four more! I buy a lot of fruit for my kids to eat, and I used to throw away a lot of fruit that would over ripen before they could eat it all (especially bananas). Once I got my dehydrator, I started making Fruit Leathers with the leftovers. my kids actually preferred it to the fresh fruit!

All I do is remove the peel from any fruit that is past its peak, throw it in the food processor, liquefy it, scoop it onto the Clean-A-Screen Tray and place it in the dehydrator. When it is dry I take the tray out- and give it to my kids to peel and place in airtight bags - they usually eat it all and never put any in bags! I have even used it as "treat when you finish your homework!" Can you believe that - they are eating fruit with no sugar added and think it is a special treat! AWESOME!!!!

"Now I can dry fruit too!" 2008-10-14
By Grace (New Lenox, IL)
I was pleased to find these trays to fit my FD-35 Nesco Deydrator. I never found them in a store. I haven't used them yet but I know they will be fine.

"Handy to have" 2009-09-14
By Jeffrey A. Hensley (Harrisonburg, VA)
I don't use these very frequently, but they do come in handy with purees. These work well for other types of foods, in terms of cleanup. Like the clean-a-screens, 12 of these fit in my sink at one time, versus 4 of the dehydrator trays. For drying fruits and such, these sometimes make for easier cleanup than the trays/clean-a-screens.

"Expensive shipping" 2009-09-10
By Rsm (reno)
I ordered this item,not realizing the cost for shipping. It is confusing for me when I use Amazon, sometimes the window closes before I know what I have agreed to pay.

Just after ordering I looked up the transaction and was shocked to see the charge for shipping for this item. I immediately canceled the order, the item wasn't worth that much to me.

Even tho I had canceled the order, they sent it anyway and I was charged for the shipping. Be careful when you order on Amazon, its easy for the order to be completed before you review the "hidden costs".

"Much cheaper than buying fruit leather" 2009-08-03
By K. Dunlap (Portland, OR USA)
As mentioned in other reviews, these sheets fit my FD-35.

We love fruit leather in our house - but it's so expensive! It's so easy to make with these sheets. Just blend up some thawed fruit. Don't forget to spray them with cooking spray before pouring. It's a mistake you'll make once and never again (hopefully).

I do wish the rim were a little bit higher to make a thicker fruit leather, though. But I don't have any other complaints.

":)" 2009-06-10
By M. Spiller
I love making fruit leathers with these. Tip: don't forget to spray them with cooking spray before pouring your fruit onto them.

"Fits my dehydrator -model #39" 2008-11-02
By schoolgirl (alabama)
I bought my dehydrator at wal mart, it is the model 39. I am happy to say these and the clean a screen fit mine just right. I haven't used them much,because at this time of the yr most of the fruit has already gone. Looking forward to next yr so I can start out using these screens and rollups.

Excalibur Model ED-2500 5-tray Food Dehydrator (Excaliber)

Drying food is fun! The Excalibur Dehydrator allows you to dry anything evenly and efficiently. The unit can dry all fruits, vegetables, meats, and more! Make fruit leathers and home-made jerky - FRESH! The Excalibur has a trademarked horizontal-airflow drying system which dries foods perfectly evenly on all the trays.

Dehydrating is a great way to add a new way of consuming foods without damaging valuable nutrients which may be lost during high heat cooking! Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they hold almost all of their nutritional value and flavor.

This unit differs from other dehydrators because of its unique horizontal drying system in the rear of the unit. This provides a sure way to provide an even dehydration process as the warm air removes moisture and is pushed out the front of the machine. There is also no need to rotate trays because of the horizontal drying.

Features:

* Thermostat adjusts from 95 - 155 degrees

* 15" X 15" Trays
* 1.25" between each shelf
* Removable doors and trays
* Plexiglas door
* Trays are dishwasher safe!

"Nice dehydrator" 2006-09-28
By Adrian S. (Redmond, WA USA)
Recently I decided that I want to go raw foods. Then, it only seems natural that I should get a dehydrator: storing health foods for longer time, have them out of season, and of course quick healthy snacks. If you are into juicing, drying the pulp is a delicious treat! Besides, it only takes a couple of hours to do it - most liquid is already out.

I chose Excalibur because most people recommended it for making living dried foods. Sure, there are newer technologies out there, but why should I pay more for something I don't need when Excalibur works great? Besides, this one (all Excalibur series, actually) has a unique feature: the fan(s) is at the back, not at the bottom - this means that the heat is the same on every tray. The rest of dehydrators - having the fan down - makes the heat go up, so the highest tray dries first, etc. For this reason, people need to rotate trays. Not with Excalibur! The heat is the same for every tray!

You can get a model with a turn-off timer, but that costs $40 or so. Instead, I went for a timer device, which is much cheaper (the type you use for bulbs while you are in vacation).

I would suggest getting a thermometer if you are into raw foods and want to dry it faster: the technique is to use (almost) highest temperature setting until inside air temperature gets there, then lower it to 105-115 until food dries completely. The thermometer helps you know when the first stage is done.

This model with 5 trays offers a generous 8 square feet drying surface - this is because you don't need dedicated holes in the trays to allow for extra air circulation. Other dehydrators with the fan at the bottom do need them, using some space which could have otherwise been dedicated to drying.

"JD" 2009-11-20
By D. Workman (South Carolina)
This unit is currently on its 6th batch of Jerky and has made two batches of dried tomatoes. The Unit works great, the only real complaint I have is the fan. It is unbalanced causing the unit to vibrate plus the engineer should have used a different blade design to help reduce the noise. I just keep it in the pantry and close the door.

"Very poorly made" 2009-11-20
By Jean Logan (Franklin, NC USA)
I am trying this for the first time and it will not even fit together properly. The first tray does not sit on the bottom correctly and a lot of the air comes out where it is not supposed to. The top will only stay on if you balance it right because that does not fit on either. I looked at the box it came in and peeled off some of the stickers and realized that I was sent a dehydrator that had been returned. It is upsetting that they would just send it out again without even checking it out to see if there was a problem. I will try and return it although I have had it a couple of months before I tried it. I should have known better.

"Great for herbs and fruit" 2009-11-08
By Elizabeth C. Hamilton (Cincinnati, Ohio)
We have found that the Gardenmaster works very well for drying herbs and fruit. The booklet helps get you started on the basics. For our small herb garden, the four trays gave plenty of room. We are also experimenting with drying cranberries and apples. We are looking to expand further in order to do larger scale fruit prep.

"gardenmaster review" 2009-10-27
By Katherine Mulcare
this dehydrator is great. It dries fruit and veggies quickly and uniformly even when I use a lot of trays - I use up to 10. However, you need to be careful not to let any dried pieces fall into the bottom where the fan is b/c if the fan gets jammed, the heating element will burn out - which is what happened to my first one.

"Didn't Last" 2009-10-10
By E. Bush (Vacaville, CA)
Very useful while it lasted, but in less than three years it became set on the highest temp., which scorched my veggies. And some extra trays which I ordered, did not fit well without a lot of fussing because of a slight warp in the screens. I'll risk one more purchase of the product, but if it can't last 5 yrs. min., no more Nesco for me!

"good product, lack of info" 2009-11-17
By Miles Johnson (MN usa)
there are 3 different types of dehydrators: conventional heat, fan, and a dehydrator that uses both. what i was looking for was a fan only type. this one is a heater. i guess i can only blame myself for failing to research a product thoroughly, but cost was a factor. i just went for the cheapest one and hoped for the best. however, i would have appreciated better technical info from the website itself instead of just flashy advertising.

good shape, not too big, plenty of rack space for whatever it is your drying. pretty good quality for the price. if i was making homemade candies this would be pro.

product: 5 stars

website info: FAIL

hope you find this useful.

"Defective product" 2009-10-26
By Anne W. Orr (Denver, CO USA)
The first time this dehydrator was used, the bottom tray melted. I called Amazon and they had me return it for a replacement, at no shipping charge. The second one did exactly the same thing. I called Amazon and they told me to return it, at no charge to me, and I would be refunded the purchase price.

I have since purchased this same model dehydrator, here in town, and used it several times. It has worked perfectly. Obviously, Amazon has gotten a defective shipment from the manufacturer. The woman I talked to, at Amazon, told me this item would be listed as unavailable until such time as they found out what the problem was.

I received notification, this morning, that my Visa account has been credited for the full amount charged. I would like to add that this is the first time, ever, that I've had a problem with something I purchased from Amazon, and would not hesitate to purchase again.

"Worst kitchen purchase ever" 2009-09-28
By C. Palmer (Los Angeles, CA)
I just gave this so-called dehydrator away to goodwill (which I sort of feel guilty about, frankly, as that's tantamount to foisting it off on some other unsuspecting consumer). Truly, this was the biggest waste of money and time I've ever encountered in a kitchen appliance. It took me almost a week to dry two bananas sliced very thin, and I had to rotate the order of the trays over and over to ensure even heat distribution. A WEEK. And they were still kind of bendy. There's no hope for this flimsy, pathetic product.

I purchased the Ronco 5-tray food dehydrator (without the fan) and I warn all others out there to NOT, I repeat NOT, purchase this item. After using it for 3 days with rotation of the trays and constant supervision, the trays ALL warped and two of them even had burned holes through them. The customer service at Ronco was not helpful and very rude so I will not purchase Ronco products again. You would think that a food dehydrator would be made to withstand the heat....DUH!!!! I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing as it seems this is a very unanimous opinion. The American Harvest dehydrator rocks!!!!!!!
