Magic Mill 11-Tray Food Dehydrator with Stainless Steel Trays

Lynn H Tjeerdsma: I made two batches of chicken and beef jerky. Both turned out very well and the dehydrator worked flawlessly and exactly as expected. Accurate temperature control, easy to clean and use. Recommend this dehydrator.

catlover 501: I read many independent product reviews which indicated the 10 tray unit was the best value. I also read many of the 1-star reviews. Figured I would go for it. Like any electronic devices, it will more than likely work like a champ or, less likely, fail miserably from the get go.

I have had the unit running non-stop for over a week now making raisins. Nothing but praise for this dehydrator. Great capacity. I was able to put something like 15 lbs of grapes in. Definitely needed the fine mesh silicone material because the shelf grate spacing is pretty big. Heating top to bottom is fairly even. The bottom 3 or 4 shelves get less warm. From left to right the units heats more on the right half due to the rotation direction of the fan. No surprise as it is a glorified hair dryer. This was no big deal as I just rotated the shelf periodically 180 degrees to get more even work done. I haven't instrumented with a thermometer to test heating consistancy but it seems to be very stable otherwise I would have severely baked grapes. So temperature control is good.

The biggest surpirses were the temperature setting resolution and how dang quiet the fan is . The...

Tanya D,: Purchased to replace old dehydrator. This is bigger but dries a lot faster. Have dried lots of fall harvest in it already and does a nice job. Love the stainless wire racks. So much easier to use. Only issue is setting the time. Wish I could just turn it on and leave it to run but it times out in 24 hours. Some of my drying takes a lot longer.

Kim: I spent good money on this dehydrator and at first I loved it… but then it overheated and burnt out the fuse. That was only after using it for 6 months. I purchased it in Dec 2021, started using it in June 2022 and it died after 6 months. They sent us a new fuse in Feb 2023, it worked fine after a few uses and then overheated, burnt the produce and died again. This is unacceptable for the price of this equipment and this time customer service has not been great. Do not recommend at this point unless they remedy the problem.

Vyann: Excellent!
I have made jerky and have dried fish in it so far.
Looking forward to doing much more.

Sockcranker: Came wth items as described. Everything needed to dehydrate. Very quiet. I like that it has 11 trays and it goes up to 165 degrees which is excellent to make jerky safely. Does the job.

Victor: hasta ahora lo he utilizado para hacer carne seca, queda bastante bien! lo unico es que si tarda un poco y en realidad no se de cuanto sea el consumo de luz.

Lillianna: I aabsolutely LOVE this dehydrator. I have dehydrated bananas, strawberries apples, sweet potatoes etc and I've only had it a month. I've dehydrated like 20 pounds of bananas! We are them all already lol.

PROS
1.This has 10 trays which is ideal bc when you cut stuff up it takes a lot of room and it is always best to do as much as you can in one batch. I try to buy in bulk to reduce the price too if I can. With this large capacity I only have to do like 2 rounds vs something like 6 or 8 with te smaller units that only come with a few trays. Those come with more trays you can purchase but they often have a hole in the center- these dont! These are excellent for saving space and for any thing of any size.

2. It is quite for a dehydrator esp one this size imo. I hate noise and I'm very happy.

3. Cleaning is easy and although I've not had anything drip yet I dont think it would be an issue. There is nothing that can get ruined that I see. It's all just plastic which is fantastic. I've cleaned up crumbs very quickly with a damp paper towel.

4. It comes with nice accessories some you dont see often. It comes with 2 jelly pan trays, I think...

Mustang Mayhem: Well, I am fairly new to this concept of creating dehydrated food but I definitely did my homework. I evaluated many different machines and specifically looked at the features that were important to more seasoned veterans. The features that seem be discussed the most are flimsy plastic trays and doors that break quickly AND the sound level. Since I live in a small space (combined Living/Dining/Kitchen), the sound level was going to be the most important factor. After using this machine for a couple of batches of beef jerky, dried fruit etc, I am ecstatic with my purchase. This machine sits about 7 feet from where I watch TV and I can barely hear it. Very, very quiet, sturdy SS trays, sturdy see through plastic door, very easy to clean, very easy to use...…. works flawlessly.....so far! I would definitely recommend this product.... A1 rating.
