Great quiet dehydrator. Pro tip, Order more trays . If planning to make jerky, order a better jerky gun. The jerky gun that comes along with the dehydrator is dangerous to use. I got several cuts and one big gash on my hand. Be cautious when handling the included jerky gun

Dehydrates jerky perfectly in 6-8 hours. Only 1 button to turn it on, no temp settings, has a bit of noise to it that sounds like a fan.
Good value for the money.
The jerky seasoning that came with the dehydrator smells and taste like dog food and will ruin your beef so do yourself a favour and just throw that out.

Used a few times already for drying fruits, sweet potatoes and tofu. Kept running overnight, and the food was ready in the morning. Super simple and works really well!

Definitely giving this a 5 Star. I received this on Thursday and have made 3 batches of beef jerky already. Every time they turned out pervect. My fiancé and best friend love it- as do I. I told my dad all about it and how great it was he ordered himself one! We will be making large batches together in the future and looking forward to giving it to our friends and family as gifts. The gun is a bit cheap and I thought it didn’t work at first but if you look straight at it there is a small bump that was caught to allow the gun to squeeze out the meat. I just used a knife to push it through and after that Worked perfect. I can’t get over how easy it is to make it. I’ve already ordered two more trays and more seasoning too! Also looking forward to trying out some fruits and veggies- and even dog treats! Definitely worth the price!!!

This is my first dehydrater and it has worked so much better than I expected. It is super cheap to get started. Just plug it in and turn it on. It gets a little hotter than I expected (around 180 degrees using a probe thermometer), but I had delicious jerky from a top round roast within 4hrs. I haven't tried the seasoning packets yet but I hear they are good. The ground beef extruder feels cheap but works well. The ground beef doesn't taste as good and takes a lot longer to dry as it is more fatty (About 14hrs).
Easy to clean and operate. I rotated the trays throughout the drying process to evenly distribution heat and air. Only downside is no temp controls.

I bought one of these in early October 2013 to make treats for my dogs - no more "made in China" for me. I went with the lower priced dehydrator thinking I wouldn't really be making a lot of jerky etc. but boy, was I wrong. I've made several batches of sweet potatoes, one batch of chicken jerky, lots and lots of beef jerky, several batches of banana chips (sliced bananas) and some apples. AND, for myself, pineapple slices.
I don't do a thing to the meat, bananas, or pineapple but I did learn I much prefer to bake the potatoes first. The meat is put in a 250º oven for 1 hour as given in the instructions to be sure you don't have any problems with anything "bad".
For the meat I buy thin slices at the store (generally sold for Italian or German dishes) and then cut them crossways into strips about 1 inch wide. (A friend said they bought fajita sliced meat - both beef and chicken rather than slicing it themselves and it worked very well.) I can fit about 2 # beef on the 5 trays that came with the dehydrator. Because I've dealt with beef from two different stores and one is sliced thinner the drying time takes 10 - 13 hours plus the hour in the...
