Q:

is this model bpa free

Answer: I have also called customer to ask for updates. They mentioned that the lens and another internal unit is not BPA free, both of which have no contact with the food. But the customer service person also said she does not have detailed information if or not the “center/ core that heats up and moves warm air “ is BPA free. She only said there was an internal part that is not BPA free, but it does not contact food and so maybe it is not in the heating part (??). That was all she could give.

Answer:

Answer: BPA, is a synthetic estrogen that was accidentally discovered, just because plastic is BPA free doesn't mean that it doesn't have other synthetic estrogens in it that we don't know about.... plastic...... can't just remove something without replacing it with something else

Answer: I went online and found out that this model DOES have trays with BPA. I am returning it.

Answer: nowhere on the box or the manual does it say it is bpa free, if it were it would say so so i'm pretty sure it is not bpa free

Answer: Yes - it's even listed on eco-friendlycookware.com.

Q:

About how much dried fruit do you get from the 4 trays?

Answer: It depends on what your drying. For example, 2 medium apples on 1 tray = 3 cups, 2 sliced Kiwis on 1 tray = 1 cup. Did this help? If not, feel free to ask me more questions.

Answer: 4 trays full

Answer: I haven't actually dried any fruit yet with mine, but I did make a decent amount of jerky. I did see that you can add extra trays to this set if you want as we'll as the trays used for making fruit leathers. I'm pretty happy with mine so far

Answer: Depends on the fruit.

Q:

Can you make dried chicken jerky with this model? I want to make treats for my dogs without adding any spices or preservatives.

Answer: I slice organic chicken breast and put a slice of banana, my dog loves it. Chicken hearts, $160, about 80 pieces, nice treat and cheap!!!!

Answer: Yes you can! After several experiences with "recalled" chicken jerky from China, I decided to make my own. That was the main purpose of this purchase. My dogs love, love, love the homemade!

Answer: I own this dehydrator and in the description on the "front" page of the item it states that it's preset at 165 degrees. I loved it so much that I also purchased the Presto 6301 which has temperature settings. I like the 6301 for drying fruits and vegetables as they only need 135-145 temp to dry.

Answer: Make sure your chicken gets to 160 degrees. This machine has no temperature gauge.

Answer: Yes I suppose as per the booklet provided by the manufacturer. I did not try it so far.

Q:

Does this come with a recipe book? Where is a good place to get recipes?

Answer: The ABSOLUTE SAFEST BEST MOST RELIABLE place to get recipes is a University that has a Master Food Preserver & Master Gardener programs!!! Facts only. Safety first! Not oven canning ☠️ remember botulism if you can't smell it taste it or see it but it can still KILL you . Best to always get recipes from a reliable source!

Answer: It does come with recipe book, and the best place I think would be Pinterest :-)

Answer: Youtube has a million videos for dehydrator recipes and tips, and you might check out your library. mine had 3 ebooks and 4 paper ones on dehydrator related subjects.

Q:

It's not too loud?

Answer: I thought it was loud enough to irritate me. We have an open floor plan so it's not like I could run it in the kitchen and go in the living room. I put it in the bedroom and that helped but made the bedroom hot. I'm returning it. Also I paid $43.99 three weeks ago so I guess $33.99 is a good price if you have some place to put it that you don't have to hear it all day.

Answer: It is not quiet. Whether it is too loud is a personal call.

Answer: It is a little loud but it is not distracting.

Answer: It is some what loud, but after a minute you wont even notice it.

Answer: No I don't think it is loud- a quiet hum. We've been quite pleased with it thus far!

Q:

Has anyone used it to make sweet potato chips? How are they?

Answer: I just made sweet potato chips yesterday. I sliced them as thinly as I could, rubbed olive oil on them, and sprinkled some with sea salt and some with cinnamon. I dried them for about 11 hours, I think. They're pretty good, but I think that if I could have gotten them thinner they might have been better. They're very crunchy, but "hard" crunchy. This might be the norm for sweet potato chips, as packaged ones I've had are certainly harder than potato chips. I'm going to look for suggestions for better results, but I think this was a successful first try.

Answer: I've made sweet potato and apple chips and they were incredible!

Q:

Would this work for drying mushrooms for storage?

Answer:

Answer: Absolutely. I’ve dehydrated mushrooms and lots more. It’s a great machine. I don’t throw anything away anymore. When I cut up my lemons, limes and oranges I dehydrate the skins too.

Answer: Yes. You need to ensure that your fungus is cracker dry before you store them in an air tight container. Any moisture may lead to mold and spoiling. Not sure why you'd be storing mushrooms.... But portabella chips might be a nice garnish for salads... ;)

Answer: I haven't tried mushrooms, but I would think it would dry them just fine.

Answer: I haven't dried anything but jerky with mine as of now, but the instruction book says you can dry herbs with it so my guess would be you can.

Q:

Has anyone ever made kale chips with this machine?

Answer: yes but it doesn't take very long...they dry out quickly

Answer: I make them often. They come out great - I use this instead of my oven, because my oven burns them, no matter what temp I use! They come out great with this.

Q:

has anyone used this dehydrator for drying herb? if so, did you like the results?

Answer: i have been very happy with it drying every thing under the sun

Answer: Ummm, the grammar of your question leads me to believe you are speaking of non traditional "herb". This would not be for that purpose. Too much heat. This has a heating element. Old fashioned upside down on a line is the way to go with herb of the non traditional sort. ????

Answer: Yes that and chili peppers is the reason I bought it. The herbs and peppers had good results.

Answer: I am very happy with this product. ive never had one before and this dries everything i put in it. I make dog treats, and ive had vegetables, fruits, meats, and parsley in it. all turned out great. love it!

Q:

Does this dehydrator apply heat to the fruit? If so, can the heat be turned off?

Answer:

Answer: It only has one heat setting and you can't turn just the heat off. It doesn't get super hot though, even after leaving it on for many hours i can still pop the top off or directly just take the trays off the base without burning or hurting myself.

Answer: The heat is not adjustable nor can it be turned off

Q:

Has anyone tried to dry seeded long hot peppers?

Answer: I have dried ( very successfully) whole small , Thai hot peppers. I put them in a plastic container in the freezer. This way they stay intact, I crush them when I use them. They keep forever!

Q:

I am having issues with the edges of the fruit (or tomatoes) getting crisp before the center becomes dry.They are even and 1/4". Is it too hot?

Answer: Things always dry for me from the edges inward. That is why in the instructions it tells you to put all of the fruit (or vegetables) into an airtight container to sit for a few hours or overnight so the moisture can redistribute.

Q:

Can you dry foods without using heat element but just the fan?

Answer: No

Answer: Yes

Q:

Must you partially cook what you are drying? Meat etc?

Answer: Just bought this dehydrator and trying petite sirloin sliced thin that I Mari armed over night. Booklet says yo pre or post cook meat in oven . Not sure if this is necessary. Temp needs to be 165 to be safe. Some say temp reaches 165, others say 145. What the truth?

Answer:

Answer: So far, I used it to dry bitter melon. It only took 3 to 4 hours for 4 trays. Meat, not yet.

Answer: Depends what you're making and the quality of your meat. The instruction booklet does say that you should put your jerky in the oven for 10 mins or so after dehydrating to ensure safety. I always do that as a precaution when I'm making chicken jerky for the dogs.

Answer: No.. I do beef jerky all the time..I marinate the meat over night..You just need to make sure your meat is sliced really thin

Answer: I have been drying herbs and different fruit I haven't dried any meat

Answer: I have not precooked anything just marinate well I do over night then adjust your times

Q:

do i have to buy solid trays sepreratly to dehydrate flours?

Answer: I don't think so. I can't think any flowers so tiny that they would fall through the spaces. The solid trays are for doing fruit leathers where you are pouring a thick liquid out. I haven't tried flowers but my herbs do very well on provided trays

Answer: Hi Sadiq, you would need to get a mesh lining for your trays so your flour won't seep through.

Answer: You can also use parchment paper

Q:

I want to make sweet dehydrated potato chips to replace crackers. Crackers and taco shells are the last processed food to go! I would welcome advice

Answer: I've never done potatoes, but I have done bananas and they are pretty tasty. I just browsed the internet, and if you really want the dehydrated sweet potatoes, there are recipes online that just require an oven and twelve hours of cooking at around 145 degrees. As for taco shells...you can make your own and then just cook them in oil in a pan. Not that healthy, but it's not processed! Good luck with your cooking! A dehydrator is definitely a lot of fun if you like to make dehydrated fruits or beef jerky :)

Answer: You can do potatoes. Here is a site that gives info on how to do it. http://www.livestrong.com/article/540953-how-to-make-crispy-potatoes-in-a-food-dehydrator/ They sound pretty good. I might give it a try. Probably would be able to do sweet potatoes the same way.

Answer: never tried it but sweet potatos are cheap enough to try one out.i am going to try the sweet potato my self but make a tea out of it with parsley.

Answer: I say give it a try.

Q:

My other question is about the herbs you can and cannot dry. How much does it matter to dry basil, for ex.?

Q:

kale chips

Q:

What is the temperature of the heating element/fan?

Answer:

Answer: Using a meat thermometer, I got a reading of 155 degrees Fahrenheit. So I would imagine the temperature is between 150-160 degrees, which is about on par with the highest temp reachable with a comparable nesco unit I use.

Q:

I really can't find out how to store the dried fruits and how long they last. Refrigerated? Vacuum sealed? Thanks 4 help.

Answer: We store ours in a tightly sealed bowl. We have had apples for several weeks, cherries for over a month. I never store them in the fridge or a plastic bag, I'm sure vacuum sealed would last even longer though. Hope this helps. :)

Answer: http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/dry/pack_store.html

Answer: I'm not sure myself. I just put them in a zip lock bag on the counter. They're usually eaten within a few days. It takes a lot of fruit & time just to fill one storage bag (quart size).

Answer: I vac seal mine in canning jars. Works great!

Q:

What temperature is it set at?

Answer: No temperature setting. You just plug it in and go by estimated times on what you are dehydrating. I love this dehydrator. It is easy to use and clean up. It makes the best beef jerky.

Answer: There is no temperature setting. You just plug it in. The fan and heat both start up. It dries much faster that the dehydrator I had before that didn't have a fan. I get sweet yam chips for my dogs in an hour and a half. On my old machine it took 6-8 hours. It takes up less height for storage when you stack the trays properly. I highly recommend this dehydrator!

Answer: The 06300 dehydrator is preset to 165 degrees. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department Monday-Friday 8:00-4:15 Central Time at 1-800-877-0441 or contact1@gopresto.com.

Answer: 135-145 degrees Fahrenheit, self regulated.

Q:

can you dehydrate kale?

Answer: Oh, yes! It's by far the best way to make kale chips - and you don't have to add a lot of fat. I toss the kale in a mixture of water, a little olive oil (a tsp or two) and some seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, nutritional yeast - it tastes like cheese), then lay it out on the trays. It can't burn because the temp isn't above 130 or so, unlike an oven - it just gets super crispy. My 11 year-old inhales it. So good.

Answer: You can dehydrate anything. Even human flesh. ;-)

Answer: Sure, if you hate life.

Q:

Does anyone use this to dehydrate bean and grain sprouts?

Answer: I have had 2 of these and can stack my trays really high so I have tried sprouts. If you can put them higher and put them on parchment paper so they won't fall through, you can. They do turn dark and are super tiny, though.

Answer: I have not tried those but have done cucumbers onion and green onion. It has done great on these. I do t see why it wouldn't do well on sprouts.

Answer: I sure haven't. I've only dried meat and it turned out great.

Answer: thinnest was kale and thats wafer thin blow on the kale and its falls apart...but, aloha and good luck

Q:

I would like to dry home-grown figs and plums. Can I dry 2" diameter fruit whole in the Presto 06300 Dehydro Electric Food Dehydrator?

Answer: I don't think you would be able to. Drying trays, when stacked,

Answer: no mine only has a 1 in tray hight

Q:

does it come with everything you need to get started?

Answer: Everything besides meat and spices. It does come with recipes and tips in the instructions though.

Answer: I would say that depends on what you are wanting to use it for. I needed it to dry plants, so it had every thing I needed. If you want to make fruit roleups then you will need to buy one of those cheap fruit roleup trays. You may also wish to buy spices for jerky.

Answer: Yes. It comes with the base unit, 4 dryer trays, clear cover and an instruction booklet.

Answer: It only has the racks if you want to make fruit leathers or what ever you have to buy extra accoutriments. Mine only lasted 2 months then burned out.

Answer: Yes, but I was only doing herbs and cayenne peppers. I didn't intend to do jerky or fruit rolls at this time.

Answer: Definitely get the mesh screens. I'm getting ready to order more. They make clean up so much easier.

Q:

Is it safe to run the Presto 06300 Dehydrator overnight?

Answer: Provided that you have it on a heat resistant surface, everything flammable away from it, and don't have children or pets running about that could mess with it, yes. It's *technically* against manufacturer recommendations, as they're supposed to insist that you constantly monitor anything that produces heat for liability reasons, so do so at your own risk, and make sure that your fire alarm works. For the most part, it doesn't get super hot. Just keep your wits about you, and you should be fine.

Answer: If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact Presto Customer Service Department Monday-Friday 8:00-4:15 CT by phone at 1-800-877-0441 or visit our website at www.gopresto.com. You may also e-mail (contact1@gopresto.com) We are here to help.

Answer: I have run mine overnight, I do a lot of tomatoes.So my answer would be yes,it does not get hot.

Answer: It doesn't get very hot. I run mine day and night.

Answer: Yes

Q:

what temp does it work at?

Answer: not sure, there is only an on and off. basically just plug it in and that is on and unplug it and that is off. i'm going to just guess and say about 180-200, low temp for an oven.

Answer: I am not sure because there was no gauge it was automatically set

Q:

Is this as noisy as a blow dryer?

Answer: It is slightly noisy but not as noisy like blow dryer

Answer: Not as loud as a hair blow dryer, but does make some noise.. I use mines out in the garage

Answer: Not at all!!! It makes some noise but no more than a fan.

Answer: Yes!

Q:

Is the single preset temperature working for all different types of food? From herbs to meat?

Answer:

Answer: Yes it is only single temperature. No temperature adjustment can be made. Thin sliced meat can be cooked after dehydrating for 2 hours.

Answer: Yes very good. Not too hot to ruin them just dehydrate. Times very based on what you do. Very good general purpose unit. Order a couple extra flat trays for fruit roll ups or fine herbs. They work good too.

Answer: It's not at all working

Answer: Nope. There is one setting.

Can the tray hold liquid soy milk?

Answer: No, the trays are vented for hot air.

Answer: Not that I know of

Answer: I have made about 20 pounds of jerky with it so far. It's awesome. You let it run for like 8 hours or so and you have jerky. Fruit it'd probably be better with the sheets so it doesn't drip but apple chips come out nice.

Q:

Need to find a replacement top for this. Any suggestions?

Can you put cheese cloth, or cotton in the dehydrator? I want to be able to dry, wet sand (environmental way to dispose of acrylic paint water)?

Answer: It may burn your cheese cloth sine there is no temp control.

Q:

will this work with lemon slices?

Answer: You would need to buy fruit roll sheets or something like that. The trays are vented and would let juice drip through.

Q:

Can you dehydrate at any tenperature or does it have to be 165 degrees?

Answer: The 06300 dehydrator operates at 165 degrees. We do have 2 other models that have the ability to adjust temperature. Below is a link that will take your directly to our current models. Please note that the digital model has a timer.

Answer: This particular dehydrator does not have an adjustable temperature control. 165 degrees only.

Answer: The temperature is automatic...you can only adjust time.

Answer: It does not have a temperature setting.

Q:

Has anyone made sundried tomatoes spinkled with fresh spices

Answer: I used a fruit roll tray from an old magic chef dehydrator with spiced apple wedges. There is no humidity control so keep a close eye on it to get the right dryness.

Q:

Has anyone used this to make aquafaba macarons?

Answer: I have not

DAW-Hines : I own 2 of them, that’s how great this machine is!

I love this food dehydrator so much that I ordered a second one. I sell dry fruits as part of my business, and dry fruits for my tea blends, so I needed two machines. The only problem I have is that the first one I ordered is very quiet, unlike the second one makes a lot of noise, but works great.

sinaro men : a must have for any houehold

i love this machine. i never thought i needed one of these. the packaging was a little beat up when i received it but nothing was damaged on the inside, so i'm pretty happy otherwise. it was so simple to assemble. just take everything out of the bags and stack, simple. the temperature is set around 160f i think which is perfect to dry anything you need. i grow my own mushroom and want to use this to dry them out for storage. the mushroom dried within a couple of hours sealing in the freshness. i'm going to try it with other fruits and vegetable as well. the unit is light and seem very sturdy. it gets pretty warm so keep it away from children. there are so many racks included but there are additional racks for sale as well if needed. there are ample space on the racks to put stuff in. the fan is quiet. it is easy to operate as well, just pluck and go. highly recommended.

Kickin' Back : Not recommended to buy!

Not the best dehydrator and totally not recommended to buy!
It does not have any temperature control or even a turn on/off switch.
Return time window is too short. I bought it for my son's Christmas present, and by the time we had a chance to try it for the first time and discover that it wasn't a good fit for us, it was too late to return the product.

DAW-Hines : I own 2 of them, that’s how great this machine is!

I love this food dehydrator so much that I ordered a second one. I sell dry fruits as part of my business, and dry fruits for my tea blends, so I needed two machines. The only problem I have is that the first one I ordered is very quiet, unlike the second one makes a lot of noise, but works great.

Elario Dalmas, II : Works Great for Dehydrating PETG Filament

Has no temperature control as this is the lower model. If you need exact temperature control for other filaments buy the higher model. Works great for PETG- pulls water out in 2-4 hours. I purchased another set of stacking pieces and can dehydrate two reels of plastic. Just had to use flush cut cutters to remove the bottoms of the trays (except for the bottom tray). Others have said it works well for PLA, but I haven't tried that.

Dayna Thai : I would say it’s a quality product overall definitely did it’s job I would buy again

I feel like the noise level increases the longer you run it. It’s not extremely hard to clean but if you don’t have a dishwasher it’s not exactly fun lots of little holes but that’s good for airflow. So far I’ve done beef jerky and it on several occasions it turned out great there is no temperature control or any settings whatsoever you just plug it in and turn it on I wish you could adjust the temperatureI would say it’s a quality product overall definitely did it’s job I would buy again

Alexander Ball : Good enough

I've seen some reviews where people say it takes too long to dry stuff and I thought I'd review that part of it. I made a mistake my first time in not cutting things thin enough to dry quickly. I manually sliced apples to make apple chips and my knifework was not consistent. I think that's what many are doing and then struggling to adequately see what went wrong. So all that being said, I think a mandoline is likely needed for most like me.

Other things that I can confirm or disprove from people:
* it is one temp, no adjustment.
* personally, I think it is a bit noisy (think loud hum/white noise). I do wish it were quieter.
* I found the packaging to be fine, no problems.
* you may need to buy extra racks as there are more than enough to get started, but given the time commitment, you'll likely want to do more all at once, rather than do batches.

So in conclusion, I think it is noisy but it does what I paid it to do and I've enjoyed it so far. 6.5/10.

Sean : Very loud persistent ringing sound

Everything about the product seems fine except that it’s really loud. The fan is quiet but mine has a loud ringing sound which will drive you nuts if it’s in the same room as you. Maybe this particular one is broken, I’m not sure

pesto22 : BEWARE - PROP 65 WARNING

Beware what is not advertised is a prop 65 warning on this item. Would have been nice if seller disclosed this to avoid the hassle of returning. Not sure who feels comfortable making food with a product that has materials known to cause cancer....

campnurse4 : Dehydrate Your Herbs, Produce, and Meat

This provides excellent air movement and heat without overcooking the bottom tray before the top tray. Easy clean up with just a wet cloth. Trays are sturdy, which is very important when removing items from them as well as for cleanup.

michael byrd : Great dehydrator, especially for the price.

I wanted to give a fair review of this because so many people have given it a negative review for things I feel are not true. I bought this for dehydrating meat so the 165 temp is not a problem, it dehydrates thick slices of beef in 6 hours. Everything seems to be built well and judging from the pictures they changed the model some. There is no on or off button but if pulling a plug out is too difficult for you, I don’t recommend anything electric in general. There was no need to rotate as the fan worked great and my jerky was cooked evenly. The only thing bad is that it is loud, but you stop noticing it quickly.

LisaCapeCohen : Don't waste your money

I gave this to my husband for Christmas and I ordered it too early to be able to return it now.
Banana chips were supposed to take 5-7 hrs, we dried them for 15 hrs + and then threw them away. Total waste of money.

Brittney Graham : Kinda noisy but it works!

The dehydrator works very well and has quite a few racks to start with. The noise it makes is quite loud but not so loud that it's unbearable. I'm currently using mine to dehydrate orange peels for herbal tea. This dehydrator does not have a temperature control setting or a timer so be sure to set a timer on a device according to what you're dehydrating so you know when to check on your foods. Other than that it works very well and I'm happy with this purchase. It's a fast inexpensive way to dehydrate your food.

Snowbird : Since 2016 and still going strong!

I came back to buy a couple more trays and the screen inserts to keep small foods in the tray. I was surprised when I saw that I first bought this back in 2016. It's July 2021 now so already several years of use. I primarily use it for drying herbs like basil and sage. I also use it to dry and finish drying the handmade incense cones I make. Especially my lavender cones benefit from a final drying for several hours in the dehydrator. Now that I have a garden again I expect to be using it even more.

ACP : Great for first timers!

This is great for those wanting to try dehydrating foods for the first time. It’s very reasonably priced and you can experiment without spending a lot of money. The only downfall is there isn’t a timer and you can’t set the temperature which is always set around 140 degrees.

It stores easily and comes with an instruction booklet that explains how to prep the food before the dehydration process. You can soak fruits in a 1:1 water to lemon juice or citric acid for 10 minutes. I soaked in lemon juice and water then patted dry. The fruit didn’t taste like lemon juice after the dehydration process. I did noticed that the fruit on the bottom try dehydrated much faster than the fruit at the top tray even though they were to go for the same amount of time.

Annie : Its a product you might not utilize daily

I was expecting this to be a little small in size but it surprised me with its size is first thing I had to return it. Secondly, after trying it to repack with the space saving stack feature, I could not see much of a difference in size truly. This product might be good for you if u have lots of empty space but for me size it acquired mattered and therefore I had to return it.
So its up to you and the space u want to occupy for a product u might utilize once in a blue moon. I hope my review helps you in judging the product correctly.

MrsBruno : I love my dehydrator so much

Right now, I'm using this exclusively to dehydrate sweet potato strips for dog treats. It's awesome. It's easy to start up, clean and store. It does its job very nicely, and while it could be quieter, I almost want the noise to remind me that it's cooking away. So much better than running the oven. I'm going to look at human treats next! Great value, too.

B&L : The BEST!

I've used dehydrators for years. I make tons of beef jerky due to being a family favorite. My old dehydrator did the job but was very slow on the dehydration process and very difficult to clean. I am so pleased with this purchase. It dehydrates jerky in half the time and cleaning was so much easier then my old one. I love how the trays stack into themselves. Very useful when storing them away. I ordered two extra trays and they work perfect. I also need to mention the need to rotate trays on many dehydrators during the cooking process. Not on this unit. The air circulates evenly from top to bottom. This is a huge plus in my opinion. It is a little noisy but not too bad.

Marcia Bolden : Nice beginner dehydrator

I purchased this to dehydrate my fruits and herbs. There is no temperature control. This dehydrator is huge and takes up a lot of space. I like that you can add additional trays, however, I don't like the fact that I can't control the temp. I have outgrown this dehydrator and am looking for something compact, temperature control and is expandable. It does the job.

DAW-Hines : I own 2 of them, that’s how great this machine is!

I love this food dehydrator so much that I ordered a second one. I sell dry fruits as part of my business, and dry fruits for my tea blends, so I needed two machines. The only problem I have is that the first one I ordered is very quiet, unlike the second one makes a lot of noise, but works great.

Home Brew : Good construction... two BIG flaws.

The construction and quality of the parts on this dehydrator are excellent. I think it is probably sturdy enough to last for several years and hundreds of uses. However, it does have two very big flaws... no timer and no ability to set the dehydrating temperature. After researching several websites on proper dehydrating techniques, I have discovered that temperature is very important. If set too high, the dehydrator could ruin some of your foods. This dehydrator has only one temperature. And since it does not have a timer to turn the apparatus off, you will have to monitor the dehydrator yourself.

I returned the one I purchased to Amazon after discovering this flaw and am upgrading to Presto model 06301... it has both a timer and a thermostat ranging from 90F to 160F. The cost of 06301 is $23.00 more but well worth the extra dollars spent.

If money is a factor, your personal time (to monitor the dehydrator) does not matter, and making jerky is your only interest, then this might work for you. However, if you want to dry beer hops cones and other herbs as I do, you need something with a temperature setting around 95F.

Amazon Customer : !!!FIRE HAZARD!!!

The heating vents on the outside ring allow grease to get down into the heating element (see pictures) Filled my garage with smoke from the grease burning off, super lucky it didn’t cause a grease fire and burn my house down.

I’ve only owned this dehydrator for a year, and made about 10 batches of jerky.

Company declined to refund my purchase. They offered to “repair” it, if I covered shipping both ways, which would be more expensive than the unit itself.

Will be cutting my losses and looking for another product that doesn’t have such a horrible design flaw.

Kickin' Back : Not recommended to buy!

Not the best dehydrator and totally not recommended to buy!
It does not have any temperature control or even a turn on/off switch.
Return time window is too short. I bought it for my son's Christmas present, and by the time we had a chance to try it for the first time and discover that it wasn't a good fit for us, it was too late to return the product.

Hitchabout : works well drying filament

with some modifications its work well enough to dry 3d filament. gets about 65C-ish.

Grammy : Meh! Win some, you lose some!

I have an Excalibur dehydrator which I LOVE! It’s just big. A year or so I purchased a compact dehydrator. Loved the size. I loaned it to a friend and didn’t want to ask for it back. I decided to order another. I wanted one I could get mesh and fruit roll up trays for and found this one. I noticed that it didn’t have an on/off switch. No biggie. Didn’t pay attention to the fact that it doesn’t have settings you can adjust. Major biggie (when you’ve been spoiled by the Excalibur, you tend to be picky). Was so caught up by being able to get the extra trays and the fact this is relatively cheap, I didn’t even notice the dimensions. NOT COMPACT. Anyway, received it yesterday and knew immediately I had made a mistake. Decided to not return it. It was my mistake. Using it now. I do not like how the trays set. It is very NOISY and takes up too much room on my counter. Ugh! If I ever decide to purchase another dehydrator I will pay more attention to the things that matter to me, not just the things I want. Lesson learned.

Some things to consider:
1. No on off switch
2. No temperature control. This maintains a fairly constant 160º. The trays can get very warm. That high of temperature isn’t good for fruits and vegetables. They need to be dehydrated at a lower temperature to maintain nutritional benefits.
3. Takes up a lot of space on the counter.
4. Noisy

Bleu : Simple and Effective

This is a no fuss dehydrator. There is no temp control, which is fine by me. Overtime, I've learned how long things take to dehydrate and adjust accordingly. I primarily use it to make dog treats so I don't need anything fancy as I'm only making a few items (and they're all meat). There is no timer so I attach it to a wifi plug that allows me to control the timer through an app from a phone. It is noisy. For me this is easy to clean.... I don't expect anything with nooks and crannies will be easy so yes, a brush is needed to get to those hard places but otherwise, it is pretty easy since this is plastic. It is also lightweight and easy to store. My dogs enjoy this very much. When this comes out, so do they.

Beana : Great for the price!

Great buy for the cost. This is my 2nd machine. I love making dehydrated apples and homemade dog chicken & beef strip treats. It takes about 8-9hrs for most things. But the flavor is incredible! My family can't get enough. Only cons:
• It is a bit loud (the fan) it's better to run this machine at night.

• The fruit takes longer times than in the book to dry if you want it crispy.

• The racks are confusing/annoying at times to put together.

Pros:
•Racks are dishwasher safe and easy to clean and non-stick.

•Can add racks! Yay

•No confusing dials, just plug it in.

•See through lid so you can see you food dehydrate over time.

Alyson Ginn : Delicious dehydrated peaches ????

While there is no tempature control on this dehydrator, I found it to be a great intro dehydrator for those just getting into it. I bought this as a way to handle my quarantine garden where I seriously underestimated the amount of cucumbers I would end up growing and found out that I could make cucumber/pickle chips this way, as well as quickly dry out my herbs. I also took a chance and dehydrated some extra peaches I had and
it made the house smelled awesome! The dried peaches tasted like delicious fruit jerky I love this thing!

debbiker54 : Affordable works great

I got this basic dehydrator to make dog treats due to my dog being on a limited diet and the high cost of dog treats. This model just plugs in and has one setting no on and off switch or temp control. There are 4 trays plastic to place items on. You can buy another version that come with mesh creens for dehydrating smaller items or just order them separately. I have done chicken and beef hearts, liver and gizzards. Estimated time maybe 6 to 8 hours, I cut them in small things pieces, then I heat them in oven after to kill any bacteria. It seems to use more energy but have not checked my bill. Well worth the price. I wouldn't recommend leaving it unattended but just do the dehydrating when your home. Works good, great value easy to clean, buy it!

Sean : Very loud persistent ringing sound

Everything about the product seems fine except that it’s really loud. The fan is quiet but mine has a loud ringing sound which will drive you nuts if it’s in the same room as you. Maybe this particular one is broken, I’m not sure

bhollis : Great budget dehydrator

Been using it every weekend. Have me a camping box of food. Onions, squash, zucchini, brown rice, tomatoes, cabbage, hamburger meat and dried chicken, peaches apples and bananas. Never ate so good on a camping trip. I have put up over 10 jars a a probably 30 quart bags of emergency food as well. First the virus then our snowstorm within a year, I seen the grocery stores empty. Made me realize you can't always depend on retail store to be stocked. Ready now.

Elizabeth : One of my favorite kitchen gadgets!!!

I love this machine. I use it to make spices, & fruit chips/chunks. I freeze the leftover pulp after juicing then dehydrate it to eat or grind into spices. I also have sliced fruit to make chips. Sometimes I buy Costco bags of greens and dehydrate them, then grind into a powder. I then add a tsp or tbsp to recipes. I have dehydrated fruit, herbs, veggies, and chilis. This machine is excellent. It’s not a quiet machine but I have an open kitchen/living room and I forget its running. When I freeze pulp I smush it between parchment paper so it’s thin, this takes about 8-10 hours to dehydrate. Once I was lazy and used full sticks of celery-This took like 16 hours. Clean up is easy. I’ve never owned a dehydrator before so I’m not sure if temperature control is necessary. This machine does not have any temp settings to choose from-you plug it in, it turns on, and that’s what you get. I use it once a week if not more. I have not seen an impact in my electricity bill-:)

Cassie V. : Good dehydrator for the price

I purchased this Presto dehydrator want to begin prepping. I've been watching many videos on how to get started and needing a dehydrator was one of my desires. I really wanted to get the extremely large model but I decided to start with this one which works perfectly for a beginner. I have used my Presto dehydrator for many vegetables and fruits as well as different types of jerky. I've dehydrated fruits, veggies, chicken, turkey, rice, beans, pasta, potatoes, and so much more. Yes it is time consuming but it is economical. So far I've made meals in a jar several times as well as stored items in my vacuum sealed bags. I use my dehydrator along with my FoodSaver to store many different types of foods. This Presto model comes with four trays and is capable of expanding to eight trays if you choose to purchase more. I've learned with using this dehydrator, several times I have to put the thicker peices on the bottom because the lower trays receive the most heat. I've also had to rotate the trays on occassion to make sure the food is drying evenly. I've used it to dry herbs also with great success. I measured the temperature at about 165 degrees with my instant read thermometer approximately 20 minutes after starting the dehydrator to make sure it had reached it's peak temperature.
I gave it four stars simply because I have to rotate the trays to make sure all of my food dried out sufficiently. Pics coming soon.

Maxine : Best 30 bucks spent

I bought this so I could make my service dog some healthier treat options. This was the 2nd best 30 bucks i ever spent (1st was my medical bracelet). It only took about 3 hours and 45 mins to make her some sweet potato chips, and she just absolutely loves them. I'm about to make her some more soon so she can keep having those healthy snack options. The only downside is that it is a little loud, but in my apartment, there's a lot of spots where it echoes, so I'm sure I just have it in one of those spots, but my boyfriend didnt really think it was loud.

Alexander Ball : Good enough

I've seen some reviews where people say it takes too long to dry stuff and I thought I'd review that part of it. I made a mistake my first time in not cutting things thin enough to dry quickly. I manually sliced apples to make apple chips and my knifework was not consistent. I think that's what many are doing and then struggling to adequately see what went wrong. So all that being said, I think a mandoline is likely needed for most like me.

Other things that I can confirm or disprove from people:
* it is one temp, no adjustment.
* personally, I think it is a bit noisy (think loud hum/white noise). I do wish it were quieter.
* I found the packaging to be fine, no problems.
* you may need to buy extra racks as there are more than enough to get started, but given the time commitment, you'll likely want to do more all at once, rather than do batches.

So in conclusion, I think it is noisy but it does what I paid it to do and I've enjoyed it so far. 6.5/10.

Chippie : Loud

It works well, but it's very loud. As in, you don't want to be in the same room with it. After dehydrating sweet potato slices for our dogs, and listening to the constant fan and motor noise for about 8 hours, the slices were done and so were we. I am using my old Deni (which seems to have fallen off the face of the earth as far as being available again) for now until it dies, and then will use this one in the basement where we can't hear it. It works really well, but it's just annoyingly loud.

Winthrop L. Farmer : Works great, but...

There's not enough room between screens for my Poblano peppers! That's why I took off a star. Most of my peppers (guajillos, mirasols, etc.) are small enough to fit, but unfortunately, I'll have to use the oven again to do my sizable crop of anchos. I wish they made spacer rings to put between levels, it would be a game-changer.

I've just dried a whole bunch of tomatoes, both cherries and regulars, and it did a great job. I'm about to load it up with some beef jerky and have every reason to think it will make some delicious snacks.

I've wanted a dehydrator for a long time and this is proving to be a fine purchase at a very reasonable price. No bunches of bells and whistles, just a good basic appliance.

Lars : solid product

This dehydrator works really well! Even though it doesn't have temperature control, or even an on/off button, it does a great job. It's also super easy to clean... just toss it into the dishwasher. I made some beef jerky by loosely following a recipe I found online, and it turned out awesome! The best jerky I've ever had. I'm looking forward to experimenting with this dehydrator.

Amazon Customer : Awesome Dehydrator for the Price!!! A++

I reviewed serveral food dehydrator's before I made my purchase and I am happy to say I made the right choice!! I chose this dehydrator over others due to its ability to store compactly and its aesthetics in regards to appearance (oh, and the cord winds up underneath). I will probably use this dehydrator less than ten times a year; primarily used to make jerky, with occasional fruit assortments. After researching this specific dehydrator with and without thermostat, I chose to save a few extra dollars (due to my usage stated above) and purchase the one without. From my findings, there was maybe 10-15 degrees difference between each model at its highest temp and for my use was not a concern (I urge you to make your own findings.). I made jerky in thin cut slices (by knife, so as thin as I could make them) and started the process a 9:30pm. By 6am the next morning, almost all the jerky was finished. I let a few pieces go a little longer due to their thickness, but was very impressed in the outcome. The noise from the fan is minimal, at least to me. Once you place the lid over the top, it probably cuts the noise in half. Our sleeping quarters are upstairs, and since I run the dehydrator at night, there is no issue.

Based on the description I have given above on how I use my dehydrator, I highly recommend to all that will have similar usage. It's a great little machine for the price. I purchased two extra trays just so I could receive free shipping, knowing I'd end up needing a couple more in order to cut the drying time down.

Hope you enjoy your new food dehydrator as much as I do! Good luck with your purchase!

Thanks,

Courtney Murphy : Louder than expected but works well

I felt that this dehydration machine took a long time (8+ hrs) but I used all the trays and had citrus fruits mixed with apples and bananas. Could be a learning curve since this is my first machine. The only negative is the noise level. It has a moderate-high humming sound, which I could hear throughout the first floor of my house. Next time, I will put it in the garage. It is definitely worth the price, I don't know if I would recommend it though.

MyRealReview : Great entry level dehydrator...

I go this after a hunting trip to make jerky. I wasn't looking to spend a bomb, and this unit fit the bill. I've produced multiple runs of jerky in it, and it's very serviceable. It's simple and I don't think too much could go wrong with it. It has no temp control, so it might not work for certain things. But, as a simple jerky maker and for dehydrating veggies for my dog treats, it's perfect. It is a little noisy and I run it in the basement. Bottom line...you can make 5 star jerky out of something that is a 1/4th of the price of others. Imight get the expansion trays to make larger batches.

Adam C. : Easy to use, does what it says with great results

Note: I purchased this for making jerky, and that's the only thing I've used it for.

I think this unit is great. Incredibly simple operation (there isn't even an on/off switch...just plug it in), load the racks up, pop the top on, and plug it in. I've left it on overnight more than once after loading it and forgetting about it (because alcohol), and the jerky was dry, but totally fine. Perfect balance of "cooking" via warm/hot air and dehydration via the same mechanism.

Bottom line, there's a reason why this is one of (if not the top) rated food dehydrator on Amazon.

B&L : The BEST!
