Questions about Homdox Food Dehydrator Machine with Digital Timer and Temperature Control, 8 Trays Dehydrators for Food and Jerky, Meat, Fruit, Vegetable, Herbs, BPA Free/400 Watt/Updated
Q:
What is the average time for dehydrating foods? And can it over heat causing a fire?
Answer: Average dehydrating time varies by food and local humidity. Something like figs in the desert takes about 18 hours but say in Kentucky in the summer would take about 36 hours. There's usually a broad window the guide gives you that gives with the product.
Answer: Time depends on what you are drying and how thick it is cut. You can just check it till you get familiar with the process. Some things like to be turned too. It just takes practice. I don't believe it can over heat and start a fire. It's not very hot! Have fun!
Q:
Does this make a lot of noise?
Answer: Really fairly quiet. I've only dehydrated vegetables in it so far. It did a great job
Q:
Where can i get replacement trays, i dont see anywhere on the web or Amazon to buy them?
Answer: Within the sellers comments I saw that if ypu want replacement trays you contact them directly
Answer: I have not seen them either, I wish I could purchase them too.
Q:
What is the Maximum temperature setting?
Answer: 165 I think. You don't want to go over 135 for most stuff.
Answer: 158F
Q:
How long does it take to dehydrate leaf?
Answer: 4 to 8 hours on size of the leaves
Answer: No idea. I have not even tried to use it. The instructions were unintelligible and I haven’t messed with it.
Q:
temperature for chicken?
Answer: IF you are asking about uncooked (raw) chicken, it must be at least 160 degrees F. You can use a convection oven but safely dehydrating raw poultry can be hazardous unless the drying temperatures are sufficiently high and the dehydrated product is properly and safely vacuum sealed packets. BE CAREFUL and do not be in a hurry because it can be risky!
Q:
Can you buy exra trays
Answer: I don't know, but it comes with loads of trays.
Q:
What are the dimensions of the trays?
Answer: Approximately 12” x 10”
Q:
Is this quiet? 8 have had so many that i had to return cuz they arent!
Answer: It is not real quiet, and it does not have enough wattage to dry things quickly. If I had known I would have chosen a different model. This is unsatisfactory in my opinion.
Q:
Can this ship internationally?
Answer: No idea
Q:
Where will this ship from
Answer: I don't know if it is carried by a company here in the US but it is made in China. It is a good product.
Q:
How high can the trays be stacked???? So you can do more in less time, or is that possible ?
Answer: I would not do more trays. The bottom tray dry faster so you have to rotate the tray or should rotate them if there is any density to your loading them. Longer drying times means less production in the long run. I personally don't think it's worth adding trays to this arrangement.
Answer: I like mine. It has 8 trays and you can leave then unstacked or stacked. When you stack it lifts about 2" in between each rack. I fir a lot of herbs in it at a time. It works very well. Worth the money I think.
Answer: I have been using this for over a year and use all 8 trays most often when dehydrating. I rotate my trays for even dry times.
Answer: You can only stack as many trays as you have.
Q:
Is there a mesh screen available to dry herbs?

Answer: Can’t help it quit working and cannot return.
Q:
where do i buy extra trays?
Answer: Amazon
Q:
This unit is much smaller than it appears online. Do you agree?
Answer: No

Can you purchase the inserts to make fruit rolls

Q:
What are the dimensions and weight of the package? I need the information to calculate overseas shipping.

Answer: A temp is required to run the fan. It starts in the 90 degree range

Q:
Can this unit be used to make deer jerky
Answer: WHAT TEMPERATURE FOR JERKY ?
Answer: Sure
Q:
The unit is lighting up and letting me change settings but the air snd heat won’t run on. How do I troubleshoot thisnto figure out what’s going on?
Answer: Its in 30 min increments. Make sure you have it set long enough. Not sure if thats not it. Try manufacturer #.
Q:
does this come with a book/recipes?
Answer: Ours did not, but there are plenty of recipes online for using these machines. Its been doing great, and works wonderfully.
Answer: It comes with an instruction manual that gives pre-prep instructions, name of fruits and veggies, and the times. However, it does not include the temps. to set them at. I find online sites are more useful than the actual manual that is included. I hope this answers your question.
Q:
Can you buy and or add replacement trays?

Q:
Where can I find liners for fruit leather ?
Answer: On amazon
Q:
How much does this unit weigh? Thanks
Answer: I don’t know how much it weighs, but it’s very light. Honestly this did not get used very long, you really need a 600 W dehydrator.
Answer: It's not heavy, it is a little awkward when fully assembled. But there is really no reason to move it once it's set up. We keep it in the box in our basement and bring it up as neeeded

Q:
Did anyone get an owners manual or instruction booklet with this unit, because mine has nothing?
Answer: Yes, mine came with a booklet which gave pretty good information concerning the unit, although it was incomplete regarding setting time and temperature. I had to figure that out by myself.
Answer: Yes I got a booklet that gave advice on what settings for what fruits, vegetables, & meats. The booklet was under the tray lid.
Answer: I believe I did get one, but the unit broke after a year and I threw everything away! Good luck!
Q:
What is the solid plastic tray that comes packaged with it? What I got from the instruction booklet that is was a juice tray for catching the juices.
Answer: If you are talking about the solid black tray at the bottom, it catches everything from crumbs to liquids. It lips upward at the center. I just tested it. It will hold almost 100ml of liquid without leaking into the heater.
Answer: Mine did not come with one of those, unless ur talking about the base…?
Q:
Where is this product made?
Answer: China. It is a Meykey product, and my box said China.
Answer: Your question is impossible to be answered accurately because the manufacturer is not

Answer: No, it does not come with recipes. Recipes are easy to find online though.

Is it normal for temp to only be set in increments of 9 degrees? The instructions say to let it run for an hour at 60 c/145f, but 145f isn’t an option

Answer: Yes, but the ones to which I have experience are
Q:
Do you have replacement parts? My heating element went out
Q:
How well does it work with becon?
Answer: I highly doubt if it would do bacon.. would be a greasy mess. Try doing bacon in the oven on a rack in a pan so the grease drains
Q:
What is the biggest object you can fit in it (using it for 3d printing related stuff)?
Answer: the biggest item would be the depth of any one of the trays themselves. They are about 3/4 of an inch deep....and just roughly guessing they are 8 x 11 ...thats a guess, the specs should give the tray dimensions though. Hope this helps!
Q:
If I only need to use 1 or 2 trays, can I put the extra trays in storage, or do I need to have all 8 trays stacked all the time for proper use?
Answer: I have used as little as two trays
Answer: Never worked for me

Are the trays dishwasher safe?
Answer: Yes, I have washed the trays in the dishwasher, even on the bottom rack.

Answer: Many, if not most, are. Most can be hand washed under warm soapy water and scrubbed with a brush, and then thoroughly rinsed. I do not use
Q:
Can i set foot on a glass dish in the dehydrator so it doesn't have to touch plastic?
Answer: It depends on what air flow will get past the food being dried. I am not sure if that will allow the food to properly dry as it should. You can experiment, that is up to you.
Answer: I paid a lot of money for this and when I received it it did not work! They don't give you your $$$ back.
Answer: If it is thin, We generally use Parchment Paper.
Product reviews of Homdox Food Dehydrator Machine with Digital Timer and Temperature Control, 8 Trays Dehydrators for Food and Jerky, Meat, Fruit, Vegetable, Herbs, BPA Free/400 Watt/Updated
reds : Dehydrated
Works very well hard to clean.
Kirt : Great product
Works like a champ and easy to clean!
Word From The 242 : Affordable and works
Affordable and it works for my intended use.
Kimw : Looks really nice but limited instructions and no cookbook basics
So far I like the machine. Seems to work well. One thing that’s lacking is instructions booklet. There are multiple times and temperatures but does not provide the complete instructions on cooking anything. Most of my times and temps have come from online searches. Trays do need to be rotated for best results on all trays. Not sure if I will keep this yet as not very user friendly instructions. Waiting on jerky now. Results may determine the outcome.
LThex : You Loose!
Instruction - Manual that comes with it is pretty much useless. The fruits and veggies it references are so far out there that i can't believe anyone could get them from their local stores and the every days stuff = strawberry, banana not in the book. If the time says 12 - 14 - plan on 20 + hours Had to try it to find out or I would return it.
Becky : Beginner in this food process
Works as expected. Easy to use. Instruction booklet with recipes could use some work
Candace : One of the best upgrades I’ve made!
I purchased this as an upgrade to my first dehydrator and I’m kicking myself for not upgrading sooner. I looked and looked read reviews and finally just did it! For all those negative reviews on this little gem I say bah! Either they just used it without reading it or they just want to complain but this dehydrator couldn’t be simpler to use and the end result is better than I had with my Cuisinart! Hands down one of the best dehydrators I’ve used. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to preserve their harvest or wanting to stretch their dollar!
Sharon : No Directions
Looks like a nice dehydrator but no Directions come with it so I'm sending it back because now I believe it is a used product and I don't want something else others have used.
Terry S. : Buyer beware!
Bought this for my husband for Valentine's day. As of February 29th, it no longer worked. We were going to return it but my husband was in the middle of dehydrating jerky when it stopped working and thought it would be okay to put in our oven on dehydrator setting since it was the same temperature as the dehydrator. Unfortunately he left the jerky on the trays from the dehydrator and 2 of them melted so we are unable to return.
reds : Dehydrated
Works very well hard to clean.
Diehardlegend1 : Dont waste your money as there is no customer service to speak to
Would have gave no stars had this only a few months used like 6 times and the motor stopped blowing out hot air homdox has no phone number and they refused to exchange under there warranty. Thankfully I purchased insurance and they are gonna refused me my money. Definitely will be purchasing a different brand
Joyce : Easy, quite, good size
I got this machine for making snacks and fruit tea. The instruction is clear and easy to follow. I just need to slice the fruit and turn on the machine. It doesn't make too much noise. It is easy to storage in the kitchen. I love it! It worth every penny.
American Patriot : Good for the price.
My first dehydrator. I have made a couple of batches of beef jerky and they both turned out good. Easy to use, seems to work well for the price. The highest it will reach is 160 though...
diann : Good product
Good product for making snacks for my dog
Mountain Man : Great For Jerky
I have made venison jerky 4 times with this machine. I set it on the highest temperature of 158 and set the timer for 5 hours. I set another timer for 2-1/2 hours and rotate the trays ftom top to bottom. I also flip each individual peice of jerky at that time. The jerky has been great every time. I also like that it automatically turns off when complete. I think it is a great dehydrator especially for the money.
D. Cranmer : Unsure about this
I would really love this machine if it gave any instructions at all as to how long and what temp to dehydrate various foods. There is some info in the book, but the ranges for almost everything, without temps mentioned, is 4 - 10 hours. Um, you're going to need to pinpoint that a little better. I do like how quiet it is though.
Amazon Customer : heating
It doesn't heat correctly. Always having to cook 10-12 hr longer than recipe calls for. Frustrating, I have the box, would like to return it, sure it's something to do with the heating element, otherwise it fits nicely where I needed it to.
Terry S. : Buyer beware!

Sunshine : Quality product. Great jerky.
Its quiet and works efficiently. Use all 8 trays everytime to make my dogs chicken jerky. Love having a timer so it runs thru the nite. Our beef jerky turned out really good. So easy. Very happy with this so far.

Beau Guidry : Broke after 10 months, non-uniform heating, doesn’t get hot enough
Product stopped working after 10 months, the heating element broke and would only blow room temp air. No warranty information to be found. Hopefully this review will help get a replacement.
The dehydrator has a lot of heating loss from the bottom to the top, the bottom tray is a good 25deg hotter than the top tray, you have to constantly reorder the trays for uniform heating. The dehydrator does not get hot enough, even on the highest setting. The trays are a PITA to clean by hand.
If you need low heat, and don’t mind rearranging the trays ever 30-60min, the dehydrator works.
Lilmisssunshine : !
I think it’s a decent value for the price.
Thompson : Don’t buy
Heater component didn’t work. Only blows cold air.
Kris L Customer : Terrible
It was OK for a while did great the first few times we used it and now that we can’t return it it quit working the warmer quit working and the fan is still going but the warmer doesn’t work so now it’s useless
Leanne B : Fantastic for camping meals
I couldn't be happier with this. I must have used it daily for almost 3 weeks. I moved the trays around every 2-3 hours to help with heat distribution, and for really watery things like pineapple I also moved the pineapple pieces themselves after about 8 hours. But by and large, it's a set it and forget it kind of appliance. I have made a bunch of trail mixes and just-add-water meals and they turned out just like I wanted! Heat is adjustable, there's a timer, it's just generally easy and does its job well. I haven't had a single thing stick to the trays in a way that didn't come off with a light scrub with a sponge and dish soap. Absolutely recommend.
Naomi : Make sure
Product was really good and then mine stopped working. I obly had the dehydrator a lil iver mobth and a hlaf and it stopped blowing at 158 degrees and only came out cold. It might have just been a bad one because until then it worked great. My foid tasted good so.
Candace : One of the best upgrades I’ve made!
I purchased this as an upgrade to my first dehydrator and I’m kicking myself for not upgrading sooner. I looked and looked read reviews and finally just did it!

AngiePangie : Easy to use and clean
Very nice! Thank you!
Ayleen's Attic : Efficient and easy to operate
I like this product. Very easy to use. Dehydrates vegetables well, which is what I usually use it for.
Ellen M. Buchholz : New dehydrator
We got this on 3/26/21 so it’s only been used once. Since we are beginners it seemed to work well.
Shamika.C : I totally recommend
The best for my needs of drying my sea moss to make sea moss pills and great for my fruits and veggies.
Word From The 242 : Affordable and works
Affordable and it works for my intended use.
William Balch : Great purchase
Bought this for my son to make jerky in. He loves it sets up and away it goes great jerky when its done Awesome that it has a timer as well!!
Kimw : Looks really nice but limited instructions and no cookbook basics
So far I like the machine. Seems to work well. One thing that’s lacking is instructions booklet. There are multiple times and temperatures but does not provide the complete instructions on cooking anything. Most of my times and temps have come from online searches.

Cherie Berg : Perfect dehydrator for home use.
I love the reversible trays that allow for thicker foods, the size, the rectangular shape for easy storage. I immediately processed 2 pineapples, cut into chunks. The resulting dried fruit is delicious. I was not, however, pleased with the instructions which were incomplete. The instructions do not say how to adjust the temperature. I was able to figure it out, but I do think the company should make time and temperature changes easier to do, step by step..
SoCal Mar : Adequate dehydrator
It works as described but I recommend frequently rotating trays for even distribution of heat. It arrived with a crack on the corner of one tray but not worth or necessary to send back as it worked fine.
Rose from Tome, NM : Great Dehydrator
Perfect dehydrator for jerky. I’ve made several batches and have been very happy with the results!!
Sunshine : Quality product. Great jerky.
Its quiet and works efficiently. Use all 8 trays everytime to make my dogs chicken jerky. Love having a timer so it runs thru the nite. Our beef jerky turned out really good. So easy. Very happy with this so far.
Amazon Customer : Works great
Works perfectly for what we needed
Alex Moll : Worked well the first few times
I have used this dehydrator a handful of times and it worked well at first but it has already stopped working. The air blows but there is no heat coming out so it doesn't actually dry out the jerky. Took me a few hours to realize this and had to finish using the oven. When it worked it was great, when it stopped it was just a useless appliance and a waste of money.
Bryan : Working very well
I purchased this specific machine in mind and it is the easiest, most efficient machine i came across. It allows the user to not have to worry about rotating trays top to bottom half way through the process because the fan evenly distributes the air throughout. It has adjustable temperature settings allowing to do jerky, fruit, etc. and not have to worry about something not being completely done which is especially important when dehydrating jerky.
Colby R. Curtis : Almost a great unit.
Everything about this is great except one thing. The heat element is weak. Don’t go by the temperature reading or it will take days to dehydrate anything. Just max the temp and it will still take longer than your cheap Nesco from Walmart but it will eventually get the job done. Other than that it holds a lot for its size the trays are very nice and it looks good. It doesn’t make much noise but that is probably why it takes so long.
diann : Good product
Good product for making snacks for my dog
EX Northerner : Easy to use
I like it but sometimes have to work at cleaning the trays as things tend to stick sometimes But it works like it’s supposed to!
Terry S. : Buyer beware!
Bought this for my husband for Valentine's day. As of February 29th, it no longer worked. We were going to return it but my husband was in the middle of dehydrating jerky when it stopped working and thought it would be okay to put in our oven on dehydrator setting since it was the same temperature as the dehydrator. Unfortunately he left the jerky on the trays from the dehydrator and 2 of them melted so we are unable to return.
Amazon Customer : Works great
Works perfectly for what we needed
Kindle Customer : nice, easy to use
It has a nice shelf profile, compact and looks great on the cabinet. I have used it numerous time and found it pretty easy to use. Noise level is minimal. Pros: looks good, easy to use, dries all shelves within 6 hrs depending on the product. Easy to clean with some caveats. Very easy to program. Cons: Instructions lack english comprehension, you need to use online sources for tips. Cleaning can be problematic if you have a small sink. It may be dish washable which would help but I havent used that option. Stacking can be annoying as you have to lock them together, so will do lots of turning round the trays to get them right. Have to rotate trays during drying as the ones on top dont dry as fast.
Tips: I use this alot for chicken jerky, learned to spray the trays with nonstick oil first saves cleanup time. rotate rotate rotate to ensure even quick drying. No idea why you would use lower temps to dry, even finely sliced zucchini strips dont burn on the highest temps, using low temps only adds to overall dry time. use a marker to indicate up/down on trays to eliminate some of the fudging around while you stack them. hand washing is easy but awkward due to the number of trays. unit holds 3 large chicken breasts, or 3 medium finely sliced zuccs for chips. you need silicon trays to make liquid stuff like fruit leather.
i recommend this unit for beginners and for hobbyists, would need a bigger more serious unit for large scale dehydration.
Kris L Customer : Terrible
It was OK for a while did great the first few times we used it and now that we can’t return it it quit working the warmer quit working and the fan is still going but the warmer doesn’t work so now it’s useless
Jc : Works great
Tons of space. Rotate half through. Works perfect.
Linda Novotasky : Love it!!
Bought for my daughter as a Christmas gift. We all couldn't wait to try it. It worked perfectly! Cleaned easily. Used it several times before they left for Florida. Im going to have to get one for myself!
