10-Layer Commercial Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator by VVinRC

thomas h burton esq: I have purchased thousands and thousands worth of products from Amazon. This one takes the cake for a first time return situation. The manual is barely intelligible. Whoever wrote it needs more time learning English. The device is flimsy and dangerously allowed itself to heat with the fan motor dead. It’s pure junk, and I am stuck with a product, miles from home in Canada with the box it came in now in the trash. Let’s see what the outside vendor will do with this complaint because all I want is my money back. BTW, I am a fire litigator and the fact this thing will heat up without the cooling fan working is a design flaw and a catastrophe waiting to happen. Please learn from this experience.

D. Gekle: I just love this Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator! I have a large garden and it comes is so handy, do easy to use and it even comes with a cookbook with ideas and all the temps you need to know for dehydrating everything that you can think of.
One of the mail reasons why I bought it is to make jerky for my rather two large Rottweiler's. One of my rotties got cancer and I swear it was from the treats we gave her that was all processed and not real food treats. If you go to the pet store to get all natural jerky for your dogs it is $14 give or take for 8 oz. that is $7 a pound. So I go to the grocery store and get chicken well now a days on a good day for $1.99 lb and I also will go to the meat market and get a pork loin for the same price as chicken. I slice it up add low sodium soy sauce with a little onion powder & garlic powder and liquid smoke let it soak at room temp for a couple of hours stirring ever 30 mins to get an even soak and take the trays out spray them with some pam non stick spray put them in the dehydrator at 149 temp for 2 1/2 - 3 hours you have the most natural jerky for your dogs and my cat also goes nuts over it I just cut into tiny...

William A. Shipman: This dehydrator was well packaged. Some damage to the outer carton but none to the dehydrator and came promptly.
Due to the size of this dehydrator, you will probably put it into some sort of storage area and put it on your countertop when you want to use it. The box is pretty light and has a handle on top to help move it from place to place.
I have dehydrated a few things in this and it works very well. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. Completely adjustable time and temperature. Temperature adjustments can be in fahrenheit or celsius by pressing and holding the temperature button.
This unit is pretty quiet, quieter than a microwave or refrigerator.
the entire unit is made of stainless steel, except for the control panel, which is very good.
The 10 mesh trays, also stainless steel, are of a fine mesh such that all but fine ground spices won't fall through. I would recommend getting silicone mesh screens to place on the steel shelves because it keeps items from sticking to the metal screens of the trays.
The fan in the back does a great job of drying all produce inside as it circulates the heat evenly across the trays and dries...

Melissa Surina: Had some issues from the get go but very happy with the customer service!! Just a note for 1st timers. If the fan doesn't turn right away when you turn it on... Shut it off asap!! Unscrew the back and see if the fan can turn. Sometimes the fan blades get bent during travel. I learned that the hard way and blew the fan motor. Thankfully my husband found another motor and fixed it within a couple of days!! The dehydrator itself is awesome!! Absolutely love it and highly recommend. Leo, from Bestmart, is an absolute gem to deal with!!

Mel PMel P: The media could not be loaded.  Overall, I'm satasfied with my purchase.

The product description is accurate. This is a large all stainless steel machine. It has 10 metal trays and a drip pan. There is a digital reading on top for temp and time. It included a recipe book and instruction manual, as well as a registration card. To get the silicone mats you must complete the registration for the lifetime warranty.

PROS:
This dehydrator has a lot of space. It is very large, make sure you take the dimensions and controls into consideration when ordering. With the controls on top and in the back, adequate space is needed, nothing more than you would need to allow for airflow, but being aware of the location of the controls might make a difference. This isnt a machine designed to be taken in and out of storage frequently, so well worth it to find a dedicated spot,...
