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.

The advantages for you at a glance:

HORIZONTAL AIRFLOW FOR EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION - Safe & effective drying

The BioChef Arizona Sol is one of the only dehydrators in its class to utilise 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 mould or bacteria forming in unevenly dried parts of the food. Over the years we have rigoursly tested a whole range of ingredients from drying grapes to beef jerky. We ensure the Arizona Sol Dehydrator will evenly and consistently dry your produce every time.

STAINLESS STEEL INTERCHANGEABLE DRYING TRAYS - More versatility & completely BPA free

The BioChef Arizona Sol Dehydrator features 9 x interchangeable trays which can be removed to allow for more space when drying larger ingredients such as when rising bread or when making yogurt.

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


Dried Fruit & Fruit Leathers 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, guilt free and healthy snacks are made in no time with the BioChef Arizona Sol.	Dehydrated Seed Crackers, Bread Alternatives & Healthy 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.	Beef jerky 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.

General information:

Features BioChef's patented EPT (Enzyme Protection Technology) to ensure that the nutrients in your food are well preserved
Horizontal drying which eliminates the need for tray rotation meaning precision drying every time
Transparent door which allows you to monitor your produce without having to interrupt the drying cycle
9 x Stainless Steel Trays to give you peace of mind that no harmful chemicals are coming into contact with your food
Trays are easily removed to enable you to have as many or as few trays as you like at any given time, this allows for more space when proving dough and making yoghurt
3 x mesh sheet, 3 x non-stick sheets & 1 x drip tray included in purchase
Available in Black or White
Made from quality, hardwearing BPA Free materials
Lightweight at only 18.52 lb

How many watts does it use and does it have an automatic shutoff?

Answer:

Is the case and interior just regular plastic? I'm looking for something that wont potentially off-gas in my house or onto food

Answer: Hello,

Answer: Not sure. The door is definitely plastic but this dehydrator works great. We do beef jerky or apples almost weekly. It’s noisy so we have it set up in the garage. I definitely recommend this item

Answer: The case is BPA-free plastic, the trays are stainless steel. We love ours....

Where is the fan located for this unit? Seems there are different answers to this, so bottom or the back of the unit??

Answer: It’s very easy to clean and the bottom is removable. We love it!

What is the difference between the biochef arizona dehydrator with 10 x stainless steel trays and the biochef arizona sol 9x dehydrator?

question dated 10.26.17: answers conflicting. Are the mesh and free liners made of stainless steel or bpa free teflin and fiber glass?

Answer: Hi there, the drying trays that come with the unit are made from stainless steel with a large mesh grid to dry most of your produce on. The dehydrator also comes with additional fine mesh sheets to dry smaller things like nuts and seeds, and the non-stick sheets to use for produce with more water content- if you are making fruit roll ups etc. Both the fine mesh and non-stick sheets are made from a BPA free Teflon & Fibreglass, and the drying trays that are the main trays in your unit are made from Stainless Steel.

Answer: I don't know what you mean by "mesh and free" liners - I can tell you that the screens are all stainless. I still returned it because everything else was some form of plastic .

Answer: Stainless steel.

Answer: Stainless

Hello, I would like to know if the dehydrator can be disarmed to travel? Thank you!

Answer: The shelves come out, but the main body is one solid piece, so I don't see this being easy to travel with. I kept the box so that I have a clean way to store it in my garage when not in use. It's pretty big (I have the 9-shelf version).

Answer: Not sure of the question. The unit is shipped in a very secure box and the unit is well protected. Just use the original box and you should be fine.

Loved this dehydrator but after 4 years it broke. element heats but fan barely spins. how can i get a replacement? seems too young to break.

This states that there are pre-set temperatures. So, can't really control the temp? How does that work out for most items, especially jerky?

Answer:

Answer: When it says pre-set temperatures it means that you cannot go up or down in one degree increments. It goes from 95 to 104 to 113 to 122 to 131 to 140 to 149 to 158. It works just great and I would buy it again and have recommended it to others. the stainless steel shelves are wonderful.

How big is the fan in the back of this unit?

Answer: Hello,

Answer: I am not sure of fan size however I can state that it's large enough to do a great job with everything I have dehydrated, Fruits, Hot Peppers, Beef Jerky ect.

Can this be used for drying cookie icing?

Answer: Hi Paul,

Answer: I don't see why not. Anything you can dry on low heat should be able to be dried in a food dehydrator

Can this be run with the heating element turned off? Just room temperature air?

Answer: Mine has no fan only function. You can set it at the lowest temperature--95 deg F, and with the door off, it would be close to drying at room temperature. The lowest time setting is 30 min. Why run it with fan only? You could just set a small fan in front of it and blow the air in if that's what you wanted to do. I've used mine for at least 2 or three years for many foods and recommend it.

Answer: Yes, it can be used with the heating element turned off by turning the power off. Doing this will create room temperature.

Answer: I just so happened to be using it when this question came up. I cannot disable the heating element completely. I Can set the heating element to it's lowest setting, which is 95 degrees F. Hope that answers the question.

Which grade of polypropylene is the case made up of?Is the stainless steel (s.s)mixed with any other type of steel (e.g. chrome) or is it 100% s.s?

Answer: I'm not sure about the grade of poly, but the trays are Stainless. I have not checked them with a magnet, so I'm not sure the level or grade stainless, but they do not rust. No chrome plate.

what is the total cooking space?

Answer: Sorry this is a late reply... I am not sure... yet you can take the height/width/length and figure out total square inches, and figure out total space... I use the item for one thing...making Jerky...

Cuanta electricidad consume?

Answer: CONSUME MUY POCO

Where to bring/send the dehydrator when it stops working while it still has warranty / after warranty? How long does it take to get it repaired?

Biochef dehydrator - cleaning: how does one clean the unit? no brush with it and something to get into the tight areas of the guides is needed

Answer: We suggest using a bottle brush or similar designed for long slimline bottles to get to hard to reach sections and a damp cloth to wipe over afterwards. We also have the mesh and non stick sheets that you receive free with the dehydrator available for purchase that can help minimize the cleaning needed of the stainless trays.

From where is this being send? Directly from China?

Can some one verify the temperature when set a 158F? with my Fluke infrared gun on the coil, it only reads 116F after 1 hour.

Answer: I haven't had any problems with my dehydrator. Everything turns out perfect but I've never checked the temperature with another.

Are the trays stainless steel?

Answer: I'd say so. I've had mine over a year and used it frequently with all kinds of foods, a lot of washing with drip drying and no sign of any rust.

Answer: Yea they are easy to clean

Do the non stick trays come as an extra item in addition to the stainless steel trays? I would not use them cause I have birds in the house.

Answer: Yes, the dehydrator comes with 9 stainless steel racks, and 6 nonstick pads.

Can it do blueberries?

Answer: Yes. It comes with 4 silicon sheets - two are a fine screen and two are solid. Either one will keep the berries from falling through the wire trays. According to one of the dehydrator books recommended by Amazon, blueberries should be placed in boiling water for about 30 seconds then in an ice bath to remove the waxy outer skin to help with dehydration.

Answer: Hi there,

Answer: I haven't done them, but dont see why not

Answer: yes you can

Is there a prop 65 out on this?

Answer: I don't understand the ? What is prop 65? There's a big prop at the back of the dehydrator.

Answer: Hi, there isn't a prop 65 out on this as it's not required for this product

I purchased this on june 11, 2020 and i still have not recieved it. i contacted the seller but they have not responded! help!

What are the dehydrator dimensions?

Answer: Thanks for your question, Lena !

Where could I get a 220V? Do you have any published?

Answer: Hello,

How do I contact the manufacturer to inquire about part availability and customer support

Answer: cannot answer... however, I believe they have a web site that offers a phone number for contact purposes...

What are the non stick mats made of? Are the silicone?

Answer: I'm not sure what the material is that the non stick mats are made of. Actually I haven't used them at all; I basically only use the dehydrator for making jerky during hunting season. I use the stainless racks, and don't have any issues at all, Very easy to clean.

Answer: Hi there, the non-stick sheets for our dehydrators are made from a BPA free Teflon. They are excellent for dehydrating fruit leathers. Regards, Vitality 4 Life

Answer: Hello... to be honest, they are not a silicone which to me is like a rubbery type feel, more of a cloth type feel... I have not used any of them as yet, I use only the racks, which are nice, and easy to clean. Sorry to not be able to answer your question.. take care

In the picture I assume that the off white color try is the Drip try? or is it the non-stick tray for making fruit roll ups.

Answer: Hello,

What is the voltage? My country’s voltage is 220v to 240v

Answer: 110 Volt A.C., Don't know if they make models with power adjusted for other countries

Product reviews of BioChef Arizona Sol Food Dehydrator 9 x BPA FREE Stainless Steel Drying Trays & Digital Timer - Includes: 3 x Non Stick & 3 x Fine Mesh Sheet & Drip Tray. Best Drier for Raw Food, Fruit, Jerky (Black)

Geedot : Fast and perfect results

Bought this for my wife. She loved it so much she had me buy another one. Dries apples in a third of the time our “round” one does. And it holds more, is easier to get the apples released from it, and cleaning is a breeze! We are actually talking about buying a third one.

Meri C : Impressive quality and function

I am very impressed with this dehydrator. Used it today for carrots, celery, kale and apricots. This is the same design as the Excalibur without the hefty price tag. With the 3 year warranty on motor and parts i felt comfortable purchasing this brand and model. The kale was done in 3 hrs, the carrots in 9 hrs. The celery took 12 hrs. The time and temperature can be adjusted; The time in +/- 30 minute increments and The temperature range is from 75 to 158F degrees. The only con i see is that the time adjustment is preset rather than operator selective. I wanted 125 degrees but my choices were either 122 or 138. I naturally chose 122 and I am pleased with the time it took to dehydrate.

Chay : Check your item size before purchase

We use this for drying beef jerky. It works very well and it's much cheaper than competitors. The only downside is the rack depth.

Amazon Customer : Recommended

I've had it several years and I use it at least once a month. Canning season about 5 times a month. Still going strong. From fish and beef to seasonings.

Dmahr81 : Love it!!

Bought this for my wife and she loves it!! Great product!!

Annette : I love it!

Best dehydrator I have ever owned. I use it year round for my garden veggies. Makes the best jerkey.

Amazon Customer : Easy and Fun to Use

Received the BioChef Sol Food Dehydrator ... found all packaging done well, no damage.. removed and set up, washed the nice stainless steel racks... and went to work.

Cut and marinated my jerky meat.. and turned on and set temp/time...really easy... set up timed cook at 5 hours, to make sure cook time was sufficient... Set temp at max temp 158 degrees. Put hand sliced meat onto racks, and put front door on and we were off.

I checked temp after about 45 minutes, and then again after about another 45 minutes, and the thermometer was a probe type, and just slipped in at bottom of the dehydrator.. It never got above 107.8 degrees, yet I think if I were to have used a wired probe and set it in middle the temp may have come up...

I checked meat about every 2 hrs... and it was drying fine, yet after five hours found that the meat was not ready.. this was probably due to both the thickness of slices, and how many racks were being used which in this first use was about 7 racks full.

It took 7 hrs, yet the meat/jerky turned out absolutely perfect... I have used it since the first time about 5 times, and the drying times have been from 3.5 hrs to 5 hrs.. depending on how many racks are used for meat... I am sure veggies and such may take less time yet would depend on the moisture/water in whatever you would be trying to dry.

I would recommend this dehydrator to any and all who need both the room to dehydrate and ease of cleaning..especially for Jerky. Overall, it stands about 19 inches tall, does not take much room at all on counter or stove tops. It is very quiet, just above a "whisper" compared to my older dehydrator that was used for many years..

Mike Sullivan : Great capacity- easy to clean easy to use

Great unit - makes fast work of jerky sticks

Greg Madere : User Friendly

I moved from a previous generation of this dehydrator to this one. The older model had 10 shelves instead of nine, and was very quiet. This model has more ample spacing, due to the missing shelf. The fan is also much louder on this model.
The shelves are very well designed, allowing very few things to slip through (I dehydrate a lot of peppers), but there are plastic pieces that jut from the side of the dehydrator into the available area for food, taking up some of the space provided by having fewer shelves. Unless this plastic pieces help with the airflow, I don't know what purpose they serve other than to get in the way.
Overall, it works well, and is very user friendly.

anai arizmendi jaimes : Muy bien

Muy buen producto aunque pienso que falta un poco mas de potencia de decado

natalya bulatnikova : Very good gadget.

Works very well but there is a very small gap between trays. Need to cut smaller then I want. Anyway, I use it very often and this is one of my favorit gadget in kitchen. Recomend for sure.

anai arizmendi jaimes : Muy bien

Muy buen producto aunque pienso que falta un poco mas de potencia de decado

RaquelM : Best unit ever!

First off, the "white" unit, is not white. It's a light grey color. But I LOVE the color. Matches my kitchen perfectly, as I wasn't keen on having a huge white appliance in my kitchen anyway lol. Aside from that minor detail, this unit is wonderful! I have a family of 4, and we are constantly buying dried fruits, veggies, and beef jerky. I wouldn't want a smaller unit, as this one gives us a great yield of food, in one go. Which is nice, considering it takes HOURS to dry food. Love the stainless steel racks, the nonstick mats (for smaller items), the drip tray-which doubles as a fruit leather tray, the clear door, that it has adjustable timer and heat temps, extremely quiet, and that the heating fan is in the back -ensures even drying! All-around fantastic buy!

Oswin manuel cruz orozco : Mal muy mal

Ni un mes y ya se desconpuso.

Greg Madere : User Friendly

Orionstarr : Best Value

Fantastic product, consistantly great results! As good or better than the high dollar dehydrators. Made in Australia and excellent quality. I've had it running almost non- stop for weeks now with zero issues.

Pam : Fantastic job and value

I was torn about whether to get this unit or a round one. I'm happy I chose this one. A bonus to this one vs others the same size, shape is the number of sheets that come with it - they're pretty expensive to buy separately.

Things I use this for that I couldn't use a round one for - activating my sourdough starter, putting bread in it to rise - and drying out my re-usable food storage bags after they've been washed. I can put them on the racks and face the open ends towards the back fan so I know they're completely dry before storing the for future use.

I was completely hung up on the desire for a timer when I was deciding which dehydrator to get, this does have one. Now that I'm dehydrating (I'd never done it before), I realize the timer isn't that big of a deal. You dehydrate most things for hours, not minutes and it's pretty hard to "over" dehydrate, so the timer really isn't critical.

Once I had decided on the box style, I was debating between this and the much more expensive Excalibur, I'm glad I got this one. It's a much better value and does an excellent job.

Jason : Great product

Works as advertised.

Meri C : Impressive quality and function

TreeHuggerJoe : Five Stars

Works great, quality product.

Leah De Lisle : Dehydrator

It seems to dry a little unevenly from top to bottom, but overall a really big improvement over my old round one. Metal trays definitely better than plastic.

Kathleen Carney : Works good for a light weight who dose not use consistently

Worked great for three months. Contacted customer service and they were great and offered to send out a new unit. Then nothing happened. No response to my inquiry on shipping. Now a little over two months later and starting harvest season without a dehydrator.

Bob from MN. : Metal racks

Nice dehydrator

Jason : Great product

Works as advertised.

Anna : love the stainless steel racks

Just as advertised! Lots of room to dry food - a big improvement over the smaller dehydrators. Also, love the stainless steel racks. There was some odor when unpackaged, but that dissipated when I ran the machine empty for a few hours. I am very pleased with this product, and the racks are easy to clean. If there is stuck on food, all it takes is soaking in hot sudsy sink water for awhile and they come sparkling clean.

JoAnne : Love this thing!

Holds a lot of vegis...fairly quiet...dries fast.

pck0923 : Love this dehydrator because it fits soo much

Love this dehydrator because it fits soo much. However, the fan is towards the bottom and it does not dehydrate evenly.

fattymoko : Consider this the best I've ever owned.

I've owned 3 dehydrators in the past. All plastic and all round. I returned a cheap circular model recently and finally splurged for this one. The fan is in the back making drying even across the trays. The plastic trays in the formerly owned one cracked the second batch I made of dehydrated chicken for my dog. This model is great. The food doesn't seem to stick at all if you pat it dry before laying it gently on the racks. Also the rectangular shape is far more efficient in packing the strips in. It is super quiet, I love the heat and timer which are easy to set even without reading the instructions. Simple to operate. Love the auto turn off feature, up to 10 hours especially if I run overnight. I do not run this when I'm not home and even unplug it but am pretty sure of it's safety Although it says it gets up to 158, because the racks are metal, I think it actually goes upwards to 165 which is great for beef jerky. Racks, trays and drip pan are easy to clean. I wipe the interior with soapy water in between uses. I purchased teflon webbing but used it once and find it redundant. So far so good. Metal trays are the way to go and these slide out quite easily. The plastic elements are BPH free. After the experience with the $40.00 round dehydrator am as happy as a pig in mud over this model and brand. LOVE it. Buy the warranty. Amazon honored a full refund on the last one to include shipping. There was a 2 day delay in shipping but I live in Hawaii and pretty used to it. And tracking was right on. Still I have saved hundreds of dollars on shipping because of Prime. I LOVE AMAZON.
