I have several of these dehydrators, since we have apple, peach, plum, and apricot trees. These work great for fruit (the only thing I've used them for.) I start out with several running and as the fruit dries through the day, I consolidate the trays down to one machine. This is a great way to dry a lot of fruit, especially this year since I can't find canning lids and have dried much more than canned! The dehydrator that I started with several years ago is still going strong, as are the ones I've bought more recently.

This little machine is a wonder! Easy to follow directions, easy to clean! Fruit, vegetables, jerky, all tastes great!
One hint I found out, about half way through the time, I rotate the trays. Seemed to make the process more even.

My only complaint is the lid doesn't fit on it right when in use and it was even a bit worst after it was on for 12 hours making jerky. It sits a little sideways.
Did a wonderful job on the jerky and I love that it has the temperature control on it and collapse down to make it more compact for storeage, the lid fits great for storage.
I also have the mini waffle maker and the hard boiled egg maker from this company and love those! I use them very often. Their ease of use and don't take up much room at all. I like I don't have to get out a pan of water to boil eggs anymore! The waffle maker is perfect and I was able to take it with me to make breakfast in a hotel. I like making chaffles in it also.

Recently I developed an interest in dehydrating several foods. My husband and I are interested in traveling in an RV in about 5 years so we are preparing ourselves for that experience. We wanted a small but effective dehydrator to fit into that experience. This dehydrator is the best choice. We tried a few others but found this one to be very high quality considering the price! Our favorite thing to dehydrate is canned or fresh pineapple. Better that candy. If we still had young children, this would have been our go-to candy.
I encourage everyone to try this product. It is large enough to fill up with 3 cans of pineapple slices yet it takes up very little counter space. it is also quiet. I am so happy with this purchase. If you are interested in dehydrating anything, whether for an RV or to prepare foods for long term storage, this is the perfect dehydrator. Ours has been running no stop for several days. Its a sturdy little thing!

I bought the pie maker too. Dehydrator works good, pie maker top crust never really gets cooked.
