Questions about LEM Products 1152 Food Dehydrator (5-Tray)
Q:
I noticed that lem only offers a 2 year warranty were excalibur products come with a 10 year warranty. sounds like they might not be durable??
Answer: Our LEM had a fuse go out very soon after we purchased it but we were able to fix it without a spendy bill. Yesterday we used our dehydrator to make venison jerky but ended up having to finish it in the oven. The heating unit now has a problem. I have used our dehydrator but it certainly not due to overuse. I use it occasionally...probably not more than twice a year.
Answer: I've had mine for a few years and haven't had any problems. (Excuse me while I go knock on some wood)
Q:
do I need to rotate the trays
Answer: when you email LEM and ask why 5 trays of jery are done and 5 are still wet, they will tell you that you need to rotate trays and shuffle them. SO not only do trays 6,7,8,9,10 now go in 1,2,3,4,5... you also must rotate the fronts to the rears for perfectly even drys. Lem is working on a new patent design that guarantees 100% set and forget.
Answer: I have found I get a more even drying by rotating about half way through. This is very true for fruit leather.
Answer: No you do not.
Q:
The description states "10 stainless steel trays", however the features says stainless "OR" chrome plated trays. Does anyone know which are included?
Answer: Chrome are included. You can upgrade to stainless as an option. I use parchment paper to line my chrome trays for both jerky and fruit. My trays are spotless.
Answer: Plated trays are included in this model.
Answer: mine were chrome plated
Answer: My LEM came with Chrome trays, but all other parts, or most are Stainless and quite good quality. The trays are wearing well and have not shown penetration to the base metal, all an all a really good quality product, definitely repairable when that time comes and reasonable sound level unlike some responses. So far all Jerky so with the pretty high salt cure content, it would have started to penetrate if the Chrome was of poor quality.
Q:
What is the exact size of the tray?
Answer: 14 7/16” x 16 1/4”. There are 10 removable trays.
Q:
Can you put the trays and drip tray in the dishwasher?
Answer: I do and haven't had any problems. I love this dehydrator!!
Q:
Has anybody had an issue with noise while using this product? i've heard that lem dehydrators can be pretty loud.
Answer: I love my lem dehydrator. I don't think it's loud.
Answer: We have one and use it often. It is not very loud. My fridge is louder.
Answer: We have one and use it often. It is not very loud. My fridge is louder.
Answer: I just got mine i love it does make a little noise but works much faster then my old one
Answer: Not extremely loud. Works wonderfully too.
Q:
how much is the shipping weight? it says that is 26 pounds but the product weight is 16 pound... there is a 10 pounds difference
Answer: Unit is 16 lbs the shipping weight is 28lbs box dimensions is 23x19x19
Q:
Can you use this for drying fruit/applesauce/etc.? Do I need to get some silicone mats to cover the trays? Thank you.
Answer: You will need a mat as the opening are about 5/8 inch. I found some that are 14''X14" they work for me. Love the Dehydrator
Answer: yes, fruits and many other items. I purchased the silicone sheets for about $10. It just made the process easier so the smaller items like peas could be dehydrated.
Answer: Yes you have to purchase mats of some kind. I bought mats and it worked great for fruit. I love my lem dehydrator.
Answer: I have dried several different fruits and jerky. I always put then on parchment paper to keep the racks clean and it works perfect. Never tried apple sauce.
Q:
Can this dehydrate meats to feed dogs
Answer: That's one of the main reasons I got it. I do 1/4 in chicken strips at 145 for 2 hours then 120 until dry (6-10 hours more depending on thickness). It drys evenly, without rotating trays. The dogs love them- and they're not from China with questionable chemicals and such.
Answer: Yes. But, remember typically meat dehydrated for dogs is not cured and therefore may carry bacteria that won't harm your dog but may be harmful to people. So, if you plan to use this dehydrator for human-grade food as well, the racks and sides should be sanitized after each dog batch.
Answer: I don't see why not.
Q:
Can you use this unit for making yogurt?
Answer: I'm also looking to make yogurt with a dehydrator. From my understanding it should work. But you still have to wrap the jar in a towel. I'll post a review once I've tried it.
Answer: I have not used it for yogurt, but it seems like it would provide the correct environment.
Q:
Are the unit itself and the trays plastic or stainless steel?

Answer: The unit and crumb tray are metal; the drying racks are plastic.

how does one get the stainless steel shelves instead of the chrome plated ones?

My son just peels it off the parchment when he's ready to eat it. Fruit leather without all the junk.

Q:
How many pounds of fresh meat can i put in that machine???
Answer: I've done as much as 7lbs at about 5-6 thinness but really I find 3-5lbs works best. You can finish the smaller about in about 3 hrs with a small 30min follow up for a try or two but with the larger amount it will take more like 5-6 hrs and you'll have to check more after the main dry. I do really like the dryer but for large amounts of meat the fans are strong enough to knock it out and be really consistent with the airflow.
Answer: i grind my meats and use the Lem Meat canon. I get 11lbs of meat on 10 trays.
Answer: Approx 20lbs depending on how thick/thin it is cut
Product reviews of LEM Products 1152 Food Dehydrator (5-Tray)
Lesley Manning : Good purchase
Worked well processing our deer jerky
kimmierose05 : Great dehydrator
I LOVE this dehydrator. It runs rally quiet. I will add that this is much larger than I had anticipated. It does require room for storage if considering this model. But I would definitely recommend this to anyone who dehydrates veggies or meat.
CT : If only the door didn't rattle so loud
I had a mostly plastic dehydrator, which I never used and sold at a yard sale. This one I have owned for nearly two years now, and I use it all the time, mostly for drying nuts and seeds on low heat and apple slices for winter and recently oil free potato chips. It is all metal, which I really like and can hold a lot of food. Most importantly, it allows for full control over temperature and timer. The fan isn't too noisy, but the door rattles terribly. I have tried all kinds of interventions, using weather strips and rolled up parchment paper to get a tighter fit--all to no avail. It is really noisy and now that I have moved essentially into a one-room cabin, I find it very trying when I let it run during the night. Surely, they could have come up with another system for the door?! Otherwise, highly recommended.
Dr.Carl : Effecient
Quiet and efficient. A good buy
Aleta : Use it all the time
Huge capacity. Makes it worth it to do a batch of pears
Annie’s Mom : Amazing product amazing support for the product
I love this dehydrator. It works like a dream, is easy to understand, and is easy to clean. And the LEM customer support is among the best I’ve encountered. Highly recommend.
Brenda Montalvo : Producto excelente
Excelente
Aubrey J. Taylor : Must be the Cadillac of home dehydrators
This item arrived rapidly and in perfect conditions with all components. After looking at some of the plastic dehydrators this LEM is a beauty. The shelf brackets were packaged separately, but fit flawlessly and were really easy to install. The shelves were chrome plated and I saw no flaws. The drip pan was nicely made also. After assembly we plugged the unit in and had a test run. It was exceptionally quiet. Most people would not even notice it running. The heating unit and electronic control panel worked well. To this point we have found nothing to complain about on this machine.
D. Tran : TX Dehydrator
This unit is very quiet, as I used this inside my house without any noise issues. I covered the drip pan with foil for easy clean up and also use a Teflon liners for all the trays. I remove the Teflon liners midway through the dehydration time, after the meat is no longer dripping juice/marinate. One defect identified so far is the magnetic latch holding the door open is attached to a plastic housing via a single screw. One of the magnet on my dehydration fell out after the a few usage cycles. I reattached the magnet using crazy glue...so far the repair is holding.
Paulette Whitworth : Happy with our LEM dehydrater
We are very satisfied with our LEM dehydrater. We have only used smaller versions in the past that took much longer and only dried small batches. It also cleans easily.
Christie T. : good buy
we use every weekend to make jerky treats for dogs--works great
Jorge Puig Torres : excelente
line and appearance simple simpre does not have a viewer to see the product as this process but if I can assure you that it works perfect has a powerful fan 10 trays totally in stainless steel. very happy with the acquisition a good dehydrator if I can I will buy another in a few months more attention is only 110Volt.
de lineas y apariencia simpre sencilla no tiene visor para ver el producto como esta el proceso pero si les puedo asegurar que funciona perfecto tiene un potente ventilador 10 bandejas totalmente en acero inox. muy contento con la adquisicion un buen deshidratador si puedo me compraré otro en unos meses mas atencion es solo 110Volt.
Bryson : So quiet!
This is a very quiet machine. We love the amount of drying space available. The stainless finish is easy to keep clean. We've done a ton of herbs, fruit and fruit leathers. Been doing some potatoes and vegetables, gonna try some jerky in a couple days.
TheMerolas : Great product!!
I am very happy with this product. It is built well and easy to clean. Yhe only thing I would change about it would be the door. I would have liked a glass front and would have preferred for it to have a hinged door, but made in the USA was more important to me.
ML : Great for at home jerky making!
This blows my old, square Nibsco out of the water. I can make around 17lbs of jerky/batch in 5 hours with this dehydrator; I used to bake 9lbs/batch in 14 hours. I strongly recommend this dehydrator for anybody who preps a lot of meat (or anything for that matter) at one time.
nikki montano : Four Stars
The plastic trays warped but the unit itself is great.
Dr.Carl : Effecient
Quiet and efficient. A good buy
TheTerrorBeyond : Highly-recommended dehydrator
This is a great dehydrator, and I would certainly recommend it. The digital controls are a must, as we had some issues with the analog controls on our other LEM dehydrator. You can set the controls accurately, and the timer works properly and gives a series of beeps when the time is up. The design is nice, and the unit is an attractive stainless steel with no fancy additions. This makes the unit at home in any kitchen. The racks are great, and the rails are easy to install. I would, however, HIGHLY recommend buying non-stick dehydrator sheets, as they make cleanup super quick.
Another note: we dry a lot of scorpion peppers, ghost peppers, Carolina Reapers, and other super-hot peppers. These peppers will leave capsaicin on your sheets, so buy extra.
The magnetic door could use a little work. While it is a clever idea having the door stop at variable heights, the magnetic stops don't hold perfectly, and the right side of the door will slump while the left stays strong. This isn't a huge deal, as it absolutely DOES keep a ton of heat in your dehydrator when you check drying progress, so there is no real knock for this.
The only knock on the unit is that it does not heat to 160-165 degrees. This makes it so that we have to pre-heat our jerky in the oven to bring it to 165 before drying it so that we know that the temperature met safe conditions.
EDITED: We were able to adjust the door slightly and it now stays firmly in place when the edge is pressed down. The door works perfectly.
CT : If only the door didn't rattle so loud
I had a mostly plastic dehydrator, which I never used and sold at a yard sale.

Sir Lancelot : quiet
To me, this is quiet. We have it the kitchen on a shelf by our table. Eating dinner, we don't notice it at all. Still new, but so far I have done, bay leaves, rosemary and oregano. Easy and good. Tried banana's and apples. Inconsitant, but I think it is that I di not cut the fruit consistent. I need to pay more attention, and find the size. can't wait to sue it more and try other things. Got with the shelf liners.
Steve Lowe : Four Stars
Works well, fan is quite noisy. Items at the rear of the unit dry faster than the front.
KimG : Cheap doors on the 10 tray
I’ve used this 10 draw model for 3 years now. It’s been great but I had some trouble with the doors from the start. To remove top trays you must take off the top door completely. It does not hinge up. There is a gap between the top and bottom draw of about a 1/4 inch. Might be for airflow but there’s warm air pushing out at all times when in use. The bottom door is a plastic hinged that goes down. It works but out of nowhere, while NOT in use, the door completely fell off. Hinge broke and now I have to tape the door on since it only has a 1 year warranty. If you’re looking for something that needs to be at an exact temperature, look for a digital model. This one has a dial for temperature control.
Victor Stupak : good device!
dry fruits in a tropical area even during wet season and during tropical rain. full load of fruit requires 14 or 16 hours of drying at maximum temperature )with air moisture around 100%. easy to wash in a dishwashing machine. just awesome thing, really happy to have it
Amazon Customer : If you wish to use for years look elsewhere.
The doors are plastic which is ok but the way they open, you have to pull them off the dehydrator and then try and line them up and snap them back on. Not a good system. My fault for not looking at the pictures better, or would not have bought.
Victor : Worth your money
Best product ever!! I fell in love with it and worth your money. Makes no noise and dehydrated everything perfect.
K. George : works great
I've had a couple of the standard round dehydrators over the years, this is AWESOME!!!! I've used it twice and make snack sticks with a jerky gun. 4 hours and they come out perfect!!! Also tried whole muscle jerky and it was just as good. I would guess it will hold between 20-25 lbs of ground snack sticks. Motor is almost silent. Timer makes it great to get going and then be able to walk away from without concern it will burn.
Kindle Customer : quiet
so quiet, solid racks, easy to clean. Have used it almost every day since we got it.
Amazon Customer : Doors are pretty cheesy I was going to send it back but they never send me a label
I thought it had metal shelves I did not like the doors on it
scott : Very light weight. The screens may be a little ...
Very light weight. The screens may be a little fragile, but I haven't yet had an issue. although, I haven't used it much yet either
Bobby : Two Thumbs Up
This is a great dehydrator! I have not had one problem with it so far. I read some other reviews about food sticking to the trays but I just put a little cooking spray on the trays and no problems. It dried evenly without have to rotate the trays. Overall I am very satisfied.
Paulette Whitworth : Happy with our LEM dehydrater
We are very satisfied with our LEM dehydrater. We have only used smaller versions in the past that took much longer and only dried small batches. It also cleans easily.
Michelle : Just as described
Easy to use. Just as described. Large unit, you’ll need some counter space for it.
Kayla : Works great
It works like a dream in our deer processing but not to crazy about the doors they fall off easy it touched.
Amazon Customer : great product!
very quite and I really like it gives you the times needed and it has a timer for each item (jerky, fruit etc). We like it so much my son will be ordering one.
janice adamick : Good
Temp hard to see and not as high as recipes call for. Good machine though
Talisa landers : LOVE LOVE LOVE
I use this for my beef jerky business. absolutely love lem products i currently have 3 total of these and 1 5 tray.
T. Porter : Very large, but amazing!
This thing takes up a lot of counter space, but I'm using it to dry fruit at least every other week. Super easy to use, set the time and push the start button. It has a heat dial that I only use it for two settings, max for drying pepperoni and summer sausage to make jerky and then I dial it down to 140 to dry fruit. Some fruit can be done in 7 hours and some can be done in 9 hours. Pepperoni slices dry down to crunchy chips but I could never get the summer sausage down to crunchy chip level. We're going to start drying down our own fresh herbs. I think in the long run, this will save money versus buying store bought jerky, trail mix and spices.
K. George : works great

Dave Wanner : miss representing dehydrated ... buying said 800 watts a get package home its say 770 wats
on package it said 800watts,,, recieved package it says 770 watts ... miss labeled
Siege : I like this dehydrator even more than when I first bought ...
After 6 uses, I like this dehydrator even more than when I first bought it. It's virtually set and forget, and very easy to use. I have tried it on all kinds of vegetables, and my favorite is spicy zucchini chips. The square trays are easier to load than my old round dehydrator, and make awesome jerky strips. The trade off here, is that it has big trays, so the capacity is very good, but it takes up a lot of counter space. Since it goes back in cupboard after each use, it works for me, but not an appliance I could leave out all the time. Glad I chose this unit.
ML : Great for at home jerky making!
This blows my old, square Nibsco out of the water. I can make around 17lbs of jerky/batch in 5 hours with this dehydrator; I used to bake 9lbs/batch in 14 hours. I strongly recommend this dehydrator for anybody who preps a lot of meat (or anything for that matter) at one time.

Malibu Shary : Very large
This is an impressive dehydrator. Seems like a great quality product. The door is a bit strange, no hinge or anything, it slides in and out
Amazon Customer : Two Stars
It takes much longer to dry food than is shown in their literature.
LitFitKing : Best bang for your dollar!
This thing cuts drying time in half!
Paulette Whitworth : Happy with our LEM dehydrater
We are very satisfied with our LEM dehydrater. We have only used smaller versions in the past that took much longer and only dried small batches. It also cleans easily.
Malibu Shary : Very large
This is an impressive dehydrator. Seems like a great quality product. The door is a bit strange, no hinge or anything, it slides in and out
Greenannie : This machine is efficient and time-saving. I love it!
I purchased this machine in the Spring and so far have dried many herbs and seedless white grapes, Shiro plums, and figs. It works very well. I am happy with it and especially like the timer features. My old machine that died last year was 30 years old and had no time saving features.
Charlie : Shop around for a different door design first
Love this dehydrator only problem is the door. It's made pretty crappy. The style stinks. The lower part keeps falling off but I love the rest of it I love the large capacity and the digital controls and the auto shut off and timer. I probably will buy one with a different door set up next time
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
