Elite Gourmet 5-Tray Food Dehydrator - EFD3321 - Perfect for Healthy Snacks & Preserving Foods

Emily: So while picking out dehydrators I decided I wanted one with metal trays and possibly components. See I know from experience that plastic gets brittle when you subject it to heat, and had read complaints about trays breaking on Every Single dehydrator. I found this one and I’m so glad I did, it’s All metal inside and out, which honestly is pretty amazing, no VOCs or other contaminate worrry, and no worry about any parts breaking with wear/age. It fits A Lot. Yes it is a smaller dehydrator, but one tray can fit 1 1/2-2 bananas for banana chips, this tiny machine can dehydrate a whole 6-8 bunch of bananas in one go! I love that it’s small, I can tuck it away in the cabinet when I need to, and unless you’re creating like Batches of something this is the size any normal person would want and be happy with. Adjustable temp allows me to dial in the drying time, and the outside of the machine stays remarkably not hot. Really surprised me. For the price, quality, the metal trays and body, this right here can’t be beat. If you’re looking/comparing dehydrators you can put away your notes and just get this one, I did all the homework and it truly is the best deal, will last the...

Dragonfly72: I dehydrate a variety of items and this works wonderfully.
I can dry herbs and flowers at lower temps so they don’t lose their color or crank it up and dehydrate tough stuff too.
The metal tray bottoms are wonderful too. Easy to clean, tiny holes that don’t allow pieces to fall through.
It’s been chugging along every day for several months now and it’s still going strong.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
I plan on purchasing a second one.

scott kuerbitz: Range of temperature adjustment so it's suitable for a variety of food. It's not loud but there is a fan noise from it. Good value.

Earl I.: I purchased this dehydrator to dry figs. It works quite well I'm happy.. although it's small I found that it's most economical to run it with all the trays full and therefore the size is perfect...

kat: I read the questions to find out of this dehydrator was plastic or stainless steel. I purchased it after reading that it was stainless steel with a tempered glass door.
It turns out that the inside is completely plastic with removable stainless steel shelves. If you don’t care about this detail, then the product seems like it will be great!

bargain-blissbargain-bliss: I am writing this after 3 hours of continuous running (temp set at 140F or 60C).
Pros:
1- It is really quiet.
2- Settings are very basic and simple (unfortunately no Celsius degree).
3- The size of the trays is small (good for singles/couples or occasional users).
Cons:
1- Almost all of the body is plastic BUT because we are dealing with temperatures under 160F (70C), it will not be my concern.
2- I am saying this as a handy person, the temperature setting is not accurate. After 3 hours at 140F, the real temperature (put a digital thermometer inside) is 125F. The 15F is concerning. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT INACCURACY IS IMPORTANT IN THIS CASE, IT CAN BE FIXED BY EXPERIMENTING.
3- The trays are not stainless still as claimed (see the image), they are chrome-coated steel because they attract the magnet, stainless steel does not attract a magnet.

I GENERALLY I AM HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT (I lowered my expectations for what I paid for).

A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER: I am still happy with this product.
