Product reviews of Omega DH9090TW Dehydrator, 9-tray, White

ACS : Love This Machine

I bought this after seeing a friend's Excalibur in action. Since I live in a town that used to be known for fruit production (and luckily, I have several mature trees in my yard!) I knew I needed one of these 9-tray dehydrators.
Now, I'm not completely certain that I understand the difference between this dehydrator and the 3900B and 3900W, but I do know that it is awesome - I have tried drying everything from blackberries (didn't do well, took a lot of time and came out kind of tasteless), blueberries (awesome), bananas (just ok, basically because bananas in the US are not that awesome, unless you're in Hawaii), lemons (great! and make an awesome gift!), persimmons (amazing), and figs (amazing).
I bought it because I want to preserve my summer bounty from being short but sweet. I'm sure there are health benefits too - yay, for not worrying that some chemical is being added to dried fruit!

This came so quickly after I placed my order. Just started using it. I love the timer and the temperature settings. I think I'm going to use this for many years!!!

K. Salinger, Holistic Nurse Practitioner : Same as our Excalibur but with a timer and different exterior color

Side by side with our Excalibur dehydrator, this is identical in every way except the name on the label. They have to be the same manufacturer, just with a different brand label on them.

On my older review for the Excalibur my major complaint was that the unit didn't have a timer. Well, this dehydrator is identical to my old Excalibur except with a timer and white exterior vs. black. So for me, this is just great. I also prefer the white vs. the black, which seemed so much more industrial.

Functionally, they seem exactly the same as well, again, except for the Omega having the timer. I know that Excalibur has newer units with timers(mine is at least 3-4 years old)and you can also get them in white now as well.

Honestly, I think any differences between them would be price and if either included any of the silicone sheets to use on the shelves.

Summary: Virtually identical in every way to the Excalibur, so select based on the best deal you can find.

kre8iv1 : Omega dehydrator is an excellent product

OK, let's clarify the amount of noise this machine puts out ... it is equivalent to the sound of the exhaust fan in our bathroom ceiling. It makes NO more noise than our dishwasher.

Yes, it's a bit distracting if you are watching TV, but it's nothing that should stop you from getting this 9-tray machine. (We moved it from our kitchen to our garage because we have a small kitchen and needed the counter space. The noise was not a deciding factor.)

It is absolutely WONDERFUL!

We dehydrate chicken and beef for ourselves, and for our dog, so that we NO LONGER have to purchase expensive, irradiated jerky made in China. We can season it however we want to, with ingredients that we can tolerate in our digestive tracts - in other words, we no longer suffer from gastric disturbances. We have also dehydrated pineapple rings and tomatoes.

It's easy and fun, plus saves money. We run a batch at least once per week, sometimes more.

I researched dehydrators for quite a while because I only wanted to buy ONE and keep it for a long while. This is the machine to go with - the fan and heating element are on the back wall of this unit versus on the bottom like in other machines. Therefore, the drippings stay out of the mechanical workings and do NOT effect the durability of the machine.

I highly recommend the 9-tray model so that you can accomplish a lot of dehydrating within a minimal amount of space vs. 2 of the 4-tray models - they would need to be set side-by-side as the heat would be a concern if they were stacked directly on top of each other. I would only consider stacking the units if you had a SHELF in-between them.

The Omega is easy to clean and easy to use. I give it my highest satisfaction rating, and encourage anyone who wants a quality dehydrator to purchase this one.

Tiffany A. Harkleroad : Great dehydrator, bad manual

I have just started using a dehydrator, but I have to say, as far as kitchen appliances go, this is my new favorite.

Pros:
Compact size for as much square footage of dehydrating space as it contains
Large number of trays for drying means more food can be in dehydrator at once
As far as dehydrators go, not nearly as loud as I would expect or as most dehydrators are
Trays are easy to remove and replace in dehydrator
Easy to clean
Timer and Temperature dials are clearly marked and easy to read

Cons
The instruction manual is oddly written, suggested drying times are markedly off.
You need to do your own research regarding drying times and methods for many foods, as the manual does not cover a lot of them.

So, in summary, the machine itself is wonderful, the manual is terrible. Do your own research on how long to dehydrate your different foods, and experiment. If it were not for the manual, this would be a 5 star item.

Patti Ives : Fantastic Dehydrator

If you are looking for a large 9-tray dehydrator then the Omega might be just what you need. I have been dehydrating for over a year now using another well known 9-tray dehydrator. This Omega certainly is comparable to that dehydrator. The fan is placed in the back of the machine and allows the air to flow across all the trays. The booklet that comes with the dehydrator covers information on the machine itself plus instructions for food dehydration.

I put it through it's paces by dehydrating 9 trays of pineapple slices, 10 pounds of Roma tomatoes and 3 trays of fruit leather. In all cases everything came out perfect. The timer is a nice feature. You know how long the dehydrator needs to run to dry a specific food, this determined from the Dehydration Guide that came with the Dehydrator, then set the timer and walk away. When the time expires the dehydrator turns off.

Mine came with 9 Paraflex sheets. These worked perfectly for the fruit leather and any small items that may fall through the mesh liners on the trays. I was able to peel the leather right off without using any added oil.

My only problem with this dehydrator is that the lovely color scheme on the control panel...different shades of teal...needs to have a bit more contrast. It can be very hard to read depending on where you place your dehydrator. This is a large appliance and it does produce some noise as the fan runs while dehydrating. I generally keep mine in the laundry room as I can close the door and not hear it.

I highly recommend this dehydrator. The guide that comes with it will get you started but you will probably want to look for a few dehydrating books for added information and recipes on dehydrating foods and what to do with that food once it is dehydrated.

Amazon Customer : VERY EXPENSIVE, CHEAP AND NOT USABLE AS IS

I have used food dehydrators for years. Because this unit is SO VERY expensive, I am giving this the lowest rating possible since it is immediately lacking. The manufacturer chose to include only eight removable plastic grids for the nine shelves available. That, of course, means all nine shelves are not usable for onion dehydration. Nine teflon sheets are included so I know somebody can count. Only eight plastic grids allowing strong air flow were included.

I know people make mistakes, but this thing cost enough I should have an extra shelf insert not be shorted one! Certainly shorting parts makes the glaring cheapness of this unit all the more painful (plastic casing, plastic shelves).

I unrolled the teflon sheets to use one on the ninth shelf. The outermost teflon sheet has been damaged and has a hole in it.

Pictures of the purchase do not adequately show the extreme closeness of the shelves one on top of each other. My previous food dehydrators had more space between shelves and this aspect of the design is also disturbingly cheap. I predict negative food dehydration consequences but we will see.

My son tells me Alton Brown of the Food Channel has an episode about food dehydration in which Brown describes how to make a food dehydrator. My son thinks I was crazy to buy this unit. I have to agree with my son; I think so too. I will try to get the company to send me a shelf insert so I can use the nine shelves.

I do not recommend anybody else purchase this unit.
