NESCO 5-Tray Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator with Jerky Spice, 600W Professional Food Dehumidifie, Includes Jerky Spice & Cure Packs, Fruit Roll Sheets for Meat, Fruit & Vegetables

I like this dehydrator because it is compact and well made. It has a temperature control button. they throw in 2 plastic sheets to dry liquids like pureed fruits. also 2 screens to dry herbs plus there is 5 regular trays. This machine runs a bit hot, but I discovered that is normal. There is no on/off button. you have to unplug it to turn off but thats not a big deal. There's a nice manual with many recipe ideas.

I have made just about everything covered in the included recipe booklet. And it all taste delicious. It was quick to make and easy to clean up after. (Added a photo of my peppers and tomatoes) I live it !

Made in the USA whoa! Anyhow this thing works great. I've made 6 pounds of jerky on this already and my wife has made dried fruit. It works great, it's quiet, and obviously a quality appliance.

Thank you very much for the delivery) I received everything intact, well packed, I was satisfied with my product, this is what I wanted

This was my first time dehydrating with an electric machine. I dried tomatoes and I refused to share the taste was out of this world. I also did pears and cinnamon and plain apples. Once the taste test was over, I had a problem with folks trying to take too much. Mind you I have apple and pear trees. I dried pears and apples longer than recommended by 4 to 8 hours for some and used lemon juice. They were the best I ever tasted. I plan to do pumpkins next week. Next year, I will do peaches, plums and berries also.

So far, I've only made beef jerky with it, but it far exceeded my expectations. I used the seasoning and curing packet that came with the appliance and thought that it would take the full 24-hours to dehydrate the meat. Fortunately, I checked at 12 hours and the jerky was perfect. Tomorrow, it's banana chips and mango slices. I highly recommend this machine.

I read the reviews for this & it was rated in the top three. It's easy to care for & the fan being on the top is great because it prevents food from dropping into it, etc. I bought two additional trays along with The Dehydrator Bible which is well written. Since receiving this unit, I have quickly gotten hooked on dehydrating food. Fruit like bananas & apples taste better than you can get them at the store even if they are not hard like the ones in the store. It does the job well. I saw a dehydrator at another store for a lot less money, but it did not look to be the same quality as this one. The trays are dishwasher safe if done using the top rack, but I prefer to wash & dry them by hand. Ordering additional trays is also the thing to do as it takes a lot of produce to make a good batch of banana or apple chips which go faster than you can dry them. I got this as a birthday gift from my husband & I have really enjoyed using it since receiving it.

I have dried lots of fruits, some vegetables and have made fruit roll-ups. We are pleased with the results. It does take slightly longer to accomplish the desired results outlined in the instructions. Overall, I am quite satisfied!

1. Product is lightweight, and very quiet. Using dehydrator for first time with fresh basil . It is taking much longer than 20-24 hr time frame. Being patient. 2. Wish I had known a) there is no on/off switch. For my set up location it is inconvenient to unplug each time I check on drying. b) order model with more trays or a second one for other, shorter drying foods. 3. Looking forward to trying other food items.

I have an old unit - has been great for years. New unit has thin plastic drying trays that warp when you wash them. Useless. They probably saved a fraction of a penny by going to these trays.
