Silver Retro Food Dehydrator- 6 Stainless Steel Trays, 190℉ Max Digital Temperature Control, Built-in Light, 500W Efficient Drying Machine for Beef Jerky Fruit Mushroom& Yogurt

I've used those round stackable plastic dehydrators for the last couple of decades; they do the job. However, I was blown away that it took 6 hours to make Beef Jerky in this dehydrator, when the old plastix towers took a minimum of 12 hours. Apple slices and bananas took 6 hours as well. Fruit leather was done in 4. What a game changer! Let me break down this machine: Build: the whole interior is stainless steel, even the shelves. Easy to wash, and no plastic touching your food. It is about the size of an early 2000s microwave, and could easily be stored away in a cabinet. That does not mean this is small, because it has 6 trays roughly 12" square. The machine is very retro looking. Features: This is a set-and-forget machine. There are buttons with a digital display that take the guesswork out of dehydrating your treats. It automatically turns off after it reaches the time you have set, too! That means delicious, healthy snacks produced while you are at work, without having to worry about them. I would like to point out that I purchased this when there was a deal going on for an extra free tray (that's why you'll see 7 trays.) All in all, this machine is amazing. We have made loads of snacks that the kids have enjoyed, and I love knowing it wasn't full of chemicals or junk. You will also find some oven mitts, a recipe book, non-stick mats, and two storage containers in your box. Word to the wise: do not put thin fruit leather puree on those mats! It definitely stuck. Grab a silicone baking sheet or some parchment. This would be great for a dorm, apartment, or small house because of the size. I got it for our homestead. I'd jump on this item while it's still available! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Full disclosure, I am not using this for food. I am using this for 3D Printing filament drying and annealing. I must say, so far it's been extraordinary, works incredibly well - especially for the price. It's the perfect size for a 1kg spool, weeks incredibly easily, it soars past temperatures of other specially-designed dryers (BIG + there) and has a superior timer, the ONLY nit puck I have is it is set by hour. For my use it's not a huge thing, but if you're using it for less than hours' time wise you may have to set a secondary timer. Due to my use-case I don't have to clean it, but it's all metal inside and comes with extra inserts so it should be a breeze to clean. It's a considerably light device which is awesome, and takes up very little room all things considered. I haven't successfully annealed anything yet, but I will be tonight, so if I remember I will report back then.

Bought this for my cookie decorating and it works great! Have even dehydrated mint and it's a great size.

Nice dehydrator, well built, and comes with a large number of accessories. The only issue I've run into is the fruit leather trays. The unit came with two, YAY! But, I haven't found a way to buy two more so that I have one for each shelf. I contacted Septree, but the response obviously did not come from an english speaker and was not comprehensible. I'll try again, but it makes me wonder what will happen if there is a problem with the dehydrator and I need customer support. Update: Per Septree the silicone fruit leather tray inserts are no longer being made! So, beware, do not purchase this dehydrator if you have any intention of making fruit leather, crackers or similar items that require a tray with a lip. Had I known this I would have bought the larger 6 tray unit which has more commonly sized shelves.

Love this compact dehydrator perfect for 2 people. Quiet motor. I have only dried fruit and did it on the highest temperature 190 and 12 hours. It was great just prepping in the evening and running it all night. Timer turns off automatically. The first time I used it I did the acid dip which left the fruit very wet. It took much longer to dry and stuck to the trays second time no acid dip just put the bananas in after dividing them and after 12 hours they came out great. Includes instruction manual not very thorough. A recipe book that has more meat recipes than anything else which is not what I will be using it for, so that was a little disappointing but overall, I think a great dehydrator. I’ll find my own recipes. The accessories it comes with are great I just wish it had 6 Silicone sheets instead of just 2. These worked great the food doesn’t stick at all ! I will be buying more silicone sheets to cover all 6 trays soon.

I ordered this specifically because I wanted a food dehydrator, but I didn't want one that would take up a ton of room in my kitchen. I have a lot of appliances, so space is at a premium. I have no plans of dehydrating stuff in bulk. I mainly plan on dehydrating leafy greens for easy storage that i can later feed to my two birds. My first test was dehydrating ambrosia apples. I cored and sliced 6 apples and placed them on the 4 trays. Six ambrosia apples is the max capacity for this dehydrator. I set the time and temp using the touch controls on the top of the dehydrator and let it do its thing. After 8 hours, I had perfect dehydrated apple slices for the birds (and a few for myself). The machine is super quiet. The kitchen has to be completely silent for you to hear the fan on the dehydrator. Otherwise, the sound is easily covered up with any other background noise. The dehydrator comes with 4 metal racks, 2 silicone sheets, 2 plastic food containers, and 2 small silicone oven mits that are just big enough for your fingers. The dehydrator itself and the metal racks are sturdy and well built. The plastic food containers are kind of flimsy but do the job. The silicone sheets and mits I have not used yet, so I have no opinions on those. Overall, this was a great buy. I look forward to using this again in the future.

جدا سيئ و صوت المروحه جدا عالي ومزعج . ما انصح فيه غالي جدا على الجوده حتى التجفيف فيه سيئ

This is a small machine. Quiet when it runs. If you do a lot of dehydrating, you will need a bigger machine. For small batches, this does what it sets out to do. Read the manual first, so you have an overall idea of what needs to be done before the first usage.

Pues muy pequeño apenas lo usé ayer domingo para amanecer hoy lunes , hice manzanas Pero le cabe muy poco Desde que llegó quería usarlo pero se cruzó Navidad etc llegaron familiares de última hora y ya no me dio chance de usarlo y apenas ayer Pero lo dejé más de 24 horas , y no quedaron como chips Muy lento y pequeño Feliz año

I have been looking for a small dehydrator for a long time. Saw a video on this and HAD to try it. It only holds 4 small trays but comes with extras for different food preps. I love using this dehydrator. It is perfect for small batches.
