The BioChef Arizona Sol 6 Tray Food Dehydrator is our most compact dehydrator, perfect for small spaces or small batch dehydrating. The Arizona Sol Dehydrator is the best value-for-money dehydrator on the market, featuring a digital timer, adjustable thermostat, removable trays, non-toxic materials (stainless steel trays + inner- and outer casing made of BPA free materials) and a horizontal drying system.

Horizontal Airflow for Even Heat Distribution

Safe & effective drying

The BioChef Arizona Sol is one of the only affordable dehydrators to utilize a horizontal drying system. Air is circulated throughout the unit in the same way as a fan forced oven, ensuring each tray (front and back) is dried evenly. No tray rotation, no turning of produce necessary. The BioChef Arizona Sol food will dry food inside and out, meaning it is dried safely without any risk of mold or bacteria forming in unevenly dried parts of the food. Over the years we have rigorously tested a whole range of ingredients from drying grapes to beef jerky. We promise the Arizona Sol Dehydrator will evenly and consistently dry your produce every time.

6 x Stainless Steel Interchangeable Drying Trays

More versatility & completely BPA free

The BioChef Arizona Sol Dehydrator features 6 x interchangeable trays which can be removed to allow for more space when drying larger ingredients such as when rising bread or when making yoghurt. The removable sliding door traps the constant airflow, rather than the trays so you can choose how many trays you have in place at any time. Stainless steel trays give you the peace of mind with no possibility of harmful chemicals being transferred onto your food. The outer- and inner-casing of the dehydrator is made from 100% BPA free polypropylene (PP), which is known for its high melting point, durability, strength and most importantly it's non-harmful nature.

Create Healthy Snacks & Treats for the Family


Healthy Snack Alternatives Drying fruits is the most common use for a food dehydrator. The beauty of owning your own dehydrator is that you can experiment with different fruits which you may have never tried dried before such as kiwi fruit, dragon fruit or blueberries. Replace unhealthy snacks from the pantry with a modern and delicious twist. Rub some cold pressed olive-,nut- or seed oil in some kale leaves and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Or slice some sweet potatoes and add same ingredients. Delicious, guiltfree and healthy snacks are made in no time with the BioChef Arizona Sol.	A country favorite! Making your own meat jerky is tasty, easy and something that can be shared with family and friends. Not only that, it ensures you know exactly what is going into your food and what you are putting into your body. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for packet bought meat jerky. These variations contain a plethora of food preservatives, alongside traces of MSG and sodium nitrate, to compensate for the highly perishable nature of the meat. You can also choose very lean cuts of meat, which reduces fat content.	Healthy Mueasli Bars, Bread Alternatives & Cookies Simply blending a combination of seeds, fruits, vegetables, nuts and water can create beautiful cookies, crackers and raw "breads". The paste is simply spread onto a non-stick sheet (one is included with purchase) and dehydrated. You can turn something which is usually unhealthy into a nutritious snack or treat for the family to enjoy. This is especially beneficial for people with gluten or yeast intolerances, as you can make bread alternatives which suit allergies or diets.

Answer: This dehydrator runs off regular household current

Can this operate at the lowest setting, 95 degrees, for a few months?

Does this come with instruction /recipe booklet?

Is there a tray option for sauces?

Answer: Hi GC_hikrgrl

Can you dehydrate peas?

Answer: Yes you can. We recommend using the mesh sheet to avoid the peas dropping through the trays.

Answer: I haven't tried peas, but blueberries dried just fine.

Answer: I have never tried it but it is possible because the racks have tiny holes and they won't fall through.

Answer: I never tried.

Is this product considered energy efficient? What is difference between a 600 W and 1000 W model?

Answer: I would say yes re. energy efficiency but go with 1000w for a dehydrator and also with a rear mounted fan. More wattage but better air flow and time savings; remember that dehydration takes some time and that consuming dehydrated foods saves energy as well.

Answer: Yes they all come out for cleaning purposes.
