Excalibur 9-Tray Deluxe Dehydrator, Black, 3900B

I bought this years ago for my wife and daughter but they quickly lost interest in dehydrating. Probably for several reasons, which are not attributed to the quality of the Excalibur. I have taken it over and started making snacks for my diabetic needs. What a wonderful dehydrator, a little on the noisy side but very fine. Easy to keep clean and for an old guy that's a plus. I will upgrade some time in the future but it will be an Excalibur. A few photo's of my first time with the tools and food.

I bought this unit after reading a multitude of reviews on dehydrators. Bottom line according to the reviews THIS IS IT! (unless you want a timer then choose the 3900T) The only difference is the T has a timer built in, this one comes with a GREAT recipe book. Love the fact that it is USA made. The warranty is OUTSTANDING. and the unit works superbly. Very easy clean up as well. Now my unit has been running NON STOP for 2 weeks now. I've dehydrated bananas, apples, grapes, blueberries, plantain, squash, mango & papaya to PERFECTION. Next up BEEF JERKY! Sure there are less expensive units out there but this one is a workhorse but don't short change yourself. . When you look at dehydrating videos, most times they are using an Excalibur...Now I know why. DO ahead PULL THE TRIGGER!

I bought this on a recommendation from a raw vegan chef and he was spot on. The Excalibur does everything it is suppose to do, and is simple to operate and clean. It is energy efficient and takes up little counter space. My advice is to purchase one for yourself and save a lot of money on store bought products. Do it yourself !!!!

I recently received this dehydrator and I am so pleased with it. It's big enough to do beef jerky without having to fill it up and run it twice. I thought it would take longer to receive it when I ordered it but was surprised how fast it got here. I would certainly order from them again and again. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the colored ones are more expensive, I would've liked one other than black but thought I shouldn't spend more money for it.

I read all the reviews. There were a lot of comments about how noisy the dehydrator was. The noise was only about as disrupting as using a microwave. The door only makes a noise if it's not put on properly. Over all I really like this machine. The time it took to dry my jerky was cut by more than half. It was a lot easier to clean up than my old dehydrator too. Plus, being square, it held more meat than my old traditional round one.

Got tired of dealing with inferior dehydrator. Bought this one based on it's stellar reputation. Have used it now for about a month. I have died vegetables, fruits and jerky. I am TOTALLY satisfied with it. The extra cost is more than worth the quality and quantity of the good you can make with this product. You will not regret it, I promise.

Works great. The trays are easy to take in and out, are easy to clean. It would have been nice to have controls nearer the front rather than the back, but I can see mechanically why they are placed at the rear. There is a bit of a learning curve to know how to dry different things and its been fun experimenting. It would be nice if it had an automatic humidity sensor to turn it off upon completion.

I love my dehydrator. It was the best when I was trying to find the best and it has not let me down.

This dryer dries faster than my old one! I am happy with it's drying capacity. It does make quite a bit of noise, however, after doing some research it may be just a screw to tighten or loosen...let's hope! It fits on my counter nicely and so far I have dried onions and parsley ( just got this 3 days ago). Onions took 3 hours and parsley took 2. I used wax paper on the screens so they didnt stick. I love the temperature guage..so handy to use according to the foods to dry.

I would recommend this dryer if you need to do a lot at one time. Tons of room. I did a bushel of sliced apples in five rounds. It is a little heavy. Being a 60 yr. old woman, I could not lift it up over my head to put on a shelf, so I store it on the closet floor. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Arrived in an undamaged box, but the dryer looked like it had been through a war. The corner of the cabinet was cracked almost off and the racks were jammed into the unit in such a bind that I had a hard time getting them out. But with some glue and TLC, it works fine. Be aware that the racks need to be turned half way through the process to get uniform drying. All in all I'm glad so far that I got it.
