Elite Gourmet 5-Tray Food Dehydrator, BPA-Free 11.4" Trays, Adjustable Temp

It was very easy to use and made great beef jerky as well as turkey jerky highly recommended

I bought this one because it was cheap, and I have A tendency to lose interest in these little side quests quickly. But I gotta Say, this little machine is fantastic. You barely hear it, like an old laptop makes more noise. It’s also super easy to clean (Im not a fan of the dishwasher, so I do It by hand.) I’ve only made beef jerky so far, but it has come out pretty delicious almost every time. I say Almost not because of the machine itself, but because I’ve never don’t this before so there’s been a lot of trial and error on my part. The only thing I think would improve it is a built in timer, one shuts it off. I’ve found that it takes about 8 hrs for jerky. And in that 8 hrs sometimes I forget I’m jerkin jerky, or forget to set a timer on my phone. But that’s a small inconvenience when you remember it’s about 1/4 the price of our dehydrators. So if you’re a hobby hopper like me, if you hyper fixate on a project for a couple months and then never touch it again, if you’d like to try something new without bankrupting yourself BUT also not buy junk that doesn’t work.. get this bad bad. You won’t be disappointed

✨Update: Still using it and loving it for the price point! I still use this regularly and it’s been reliable for making snacks. It works well and gets the job done every time. That said, it’s a bit louder than I expected and does give off some heat while running. Even with that, I’ll keep using it because it’s consistent and dependable. I’ve been genuinely impressed with this dehydrator and use it regularly. It’s very easy to use, heats evenly, and has plenty of tray space, which makes it great for making snacks at home in larger batches. I mainly use it for dehydrated fruit and snacks like bananas, mangoes, and chickpeas, and everything has turned out consistently well with a great texture every time. One of the biggest wins for me has been the cost savings. I used to spend quite a bit on store-bought dehydrated fruit, and making my own has saved a lot of money. I also love knowing exactly what’s in my snacks—no added sugar, preservatives, or fillers. Even with frequent use, I haven’t noticed any real increase in my electricity bill, which was a pleasant surprise. The trays are easy to clean, the controls are simple and straightforward, and it runs quietly enough that I feel comfortable leaving it on overnight. It’s become a regular part of my kitchen routine and makes healthy snacking easy and enjoyable. One small con: if you’re brand new to dehydrating, there’s a bit of trial and error at first to figure out ideal slice thickness and timing for different foods. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s very easy and consistent. This has been a fantastic purchase. It’s reliable, efficient, and well worth it if you want to make your own snacks at home. I’m very happy with it and would absolutely recommend it..especially as a starter dehydrator!

I’ve been very happy with this food dehydrator. It’s easy to set up, runs quietly, and dries fruits, vegetables, and jerky evenly. The trays provide plenty of space, and cleaning them is simple. It has been a great addition to my kitchen, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable dehydrator.

Overall, I’m pleased with this food dehydrator. For the price, it offers good value and works well for what I need. I especially like that the 5 trays are expandable, giving you flexibility when using the dehydrator. My only wish is that there was a little more spacing between the trays, as some foods can be difficult to fit when they are thicker. Other than that, I think it’s a good product for the price and a great option if you’re looking for an affordable food dehydrator.

Purchased as a gift for my friend. She was extatic. Said it was the best hydrator she ever had. And works incredibly well. SO easy to clean as well.

This is a pretty good dehydrator when you consider the price point and the unit's compact nature. I've used it a couple times and it works quietly and efficiently. Where it falls short is in its nonstandard size. The trays have large holes, which allow the air to circulate freely. But it also means that smaller items can easily fall through. This is actually a big issue unless all you're planning to dehydrate are larger sized food items. If not, the solution is silicone mesh inserts, which can be purchased separately. However, most accessories are larger than the trays for this model. Mesh sheets can be cut to size, but you'd be hard pressed to find silicone mats for making fruit leather that will fit. I purchased ones that were larger and cut those to size as well, but you lose the raised lip on the edge that keeps liquids and purees from leaking. That's not an easy fix with this model. In the end, I would advise AGAINST this model if you are planning on making fruit leather. For anything else, just know that you'll likely wind up cutting mesh silicone mats (which are pretty much a necessity) to match the nontraditional tray size.

Works very well!

Mi mejor compra

Utilisé 1 fois pour le moment donc je ne peux pas évalué la durabilité. Fonctionne tres bien. L'air circule vraiment bien. Facile d'avoir les degrés de chaleur que vous désirez meme sans chaleur, seulement l'air qui circule. Tres bon rapport/qualité/prix. Les étages s'empillent et l'air circule aussi bien en haut qu'en bas. Vous mettez le nombre d'étage que vous avez besoin. Asser grand format pour le prix.

I've had this dehydrator for over a year now, and it's perfect. Very reliable.
