Ivation 6-Tray Digital Countertop Food Dehydrator for Drying Meats, Fruits, Vegetables & More

scale modlerscale modler: We not only use this product for dehydrating fruits (and it works very well for that!) I also use it to cure and dry plastic scale model parts after painting. After painting your part, let it gas out for about 15 -20 minutes. If you place the freshly painted part into the dryer, you'll get a dull finish. I cure my parts at 113 degrees ( that is one of the settings, the next is 122 degrees etc. it appears these temps are preset by the factory) for about 60 minutes.

For foods or parts, you get 9 plastic trays that are vented which will enable you to make as much dehydrated food as you want or need. All of the trays can be used or you can remove as many as you want if you need a lot of space.

The interior of this unit measures approximately 11" wide, 15" deep and 11" tall, so a lot of room inside.

The unit is quiet and has an alarm feature with a nice and loud tone to let you know the time you set has completed. Lastly, the dryer is very light. I could not weigh it but I would guess it is 5-7 pounds. Nonetheless, it is very easy to move should you want to store it in your cabinet and only have it out when drying.

Happy Grandma: Using this dehydrator to quickly dry royal icing on cookies. First batch came out well. Looking forward to using this when holiday baking starts.

Amazon Customer: I prefer the BPA free plastic shelves - they are very sturdy! The noise level is extremely quite and the fan in the back is great for circulating the air well. One drawback is the thermostat has only preset temps in the range I was looking for. Would have preferred to set the temp exactly as I wished. Overall I am very pleased with the level of dehydration vis-a-vis the cost!

Michael Harnish: my little woman wanted to this as one of her bday gifts because she wanted to attempt making spicy beef jerky, and while these are pretty basic machines this one worked exactly how it's suposed to easy to set time, and temps, lots of light trays it did what it was ment for so i'm happy with it, if i had to find one complaint i think the little drip tray on bottom needs to be a lil better shaped but it still worked just a lil off. so thanks for item, definilty recomend it if anyone wants to ... well dehydrate lol

Snuffy: Simple to use and works well. It’s up to you as what you can dehydrate.
Would recommend it. Buy one for my daughter.

STEPH: I like how light weighted it is, I'm still figuring how to preserve my dehydrated food after the process. And how much dehydration some food products need. But I'm loving the appliance so far.

Julie Sands: I recommend you purchase one of the Ivation brand dehydrators. It’s sleek look will complement most any kitchen. My spouse and I originally purchased ours to dehydrate vegetables and herbs we grow in our garden and it works great for that. For spices/herbs you can put them on the highest temp setting for 4 hours then use an herb stripper on Rosemary for example and place it in a food processor, mince, and vacuum seal it them 4 oz. mason jars using a Foodsaver and a jar sealer.

Later on thinking about kindness not just to myself but to all others I starting thinking about my consumption of dairy products and how I could do my best to lower it without suffering. I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons but do consume some dairy products. One of them is yogurt. Non-fat Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute for sour cream in a dip or on a Boston style vegetarian chili. Well you can make Greek Yogurt using a Ivation dehydrator-the setting is 8 hours on 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Guess what? You can even use it as a seed starter on the lower temperature setting. Plant some seeds, and place the pots in the Ivation dehydrator on the low setting and take them out and mist them...

Karina: The media could not be loaded.  Works great and has plenty of compartments for food. It's easy to clean and assemble. I had never had any experience with doing my own food dehydration but my neighbor told me about how he makes his pets snacks very easy with this. I love dehydrated mango from the store but it's expensive, glad I bought this, great investment. Super easy instructions and very few buttons to operate, anyone could use it. I bought mine to make my dog some homemade preservatives free snacks, and both he and I love it. It's quiet and not loud. I keep mine outside, of course where it won't get wet or anything, and it's durable.
