Q:
Has anyone tried to use this to dry shiitake mushrooms?
Answer: Works great for mushrooms. I dry and powder some mushrooms and so far no issues .
Q:
Can you use less trays for drying small amounts?
Answer: Yes. I use the amount of trays needed although it suggests having two empty trays with the fruit leather tray inside the very top tray with lid cover on top for best results. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t work out if the extra trays were not available to use.
Answer: Yes! The system is completely modular.
Answer: Yes, you can.
Answer: Yes, you can.
Answer: Yes, I do.
Q:
Do you have to precook chicken prior to dehydration
Answer: No if you are making chicken jerky BUT if dehydrating to use as a regular meat yes. I put my chicken with the desired seasonings in a crock pot overnight, shred it in the morning and then dehydrate it.
Answer: We recommend cooking the chicken first.
Answer: I recommend precooking just because all the recipes i follow call for it unles you are making treats for your dog. Chicken jerky dog treats don’t need precooked. Hope this helps
Answer: I would say always cook your poultry before drying, even if your just chemical cooking it, it's advised because the heat from the dehydrator is not enough to kill of harmful bacteria.
Q:
What kind of plastic is the base? is it also bpa free?
Answer: I believe so
Q:
First time use, dehydrator has a smell like machine oil burning off. Running it empty per instructions, 5 hours. How long until that smell goes away?
Answer: Run the machine for a few days and the smell will disappear.
Answer: Mine did not have a smell like machine burning oil off. It smelled like the citrus I was dehydrating
Q:
Does anybody else notice a clicking noise every few seconds while the machine is running?
Answer: Yes, I've heard it before but haven't noticed any issues.
Answer: no
Q:
I plan to start soaking my nuts and dehydrating them to keep them raw. Will these work on them?
Answer: This machine can dehydrate very well, but nuts contain less water, maybe you can try.
Q:
I’ve never received the 69.$ dehydrater that I ordered on September 4.
Q:
Some items require hours to dry, is the machine can be pause and continue later? for those more than hour, Does the machine consume electricity?
Answer: Yes. I have done that many times. I have often times ran it a full 24 hours to achieve a crunchy texture using banana rounds as well as apple slices. I put it on the highest heat setting which I believe is 158 and then set it for 24 hours and let it go. Then after it’s done I take off the two top empty trays and let them dry and cool off more. I check them once in a while to see if they are crunchy before putting them in storage bags.
Answer: You can set the timer to go off whenever you want or just turn it off. Of course drying stops. Then no power is consumed.
Answer: Yes, you can set the timing function.
Q:
How long is the dehydration process and what is the shelf life?

Can you dehydrate salmon with good results?

Q:
How many watts does this unit have? Thank you!

Q:
One of my trays came broken in the box, how can I get this replaced?
Answer: It comes with a tray that has no holes in it
Q:
Is there a setting that allows fruit to dry more crunchy (think banana chips) rather than chewy?
Answer: I've found if you simply leave them in longer, they will be crunchier. The really crunchy banana chips I've had are processed with oil and fried or baked - which is what gives them the chip-crunch.
Answer: I have made banana chips on several occasions and have had to adjust time/setting each time. Although cutting the banana as thin as possible helps. Also lengthening drying time.
Answer: One setting. Letting it go longer and rearranging fruit and trays would likely crisp them.
Answer: Kindly note that you can increase the temperature or extend the dehydration time.
Q:
Can you turn off heater?
Answer: No, you can precisely set the temperature between 95°F- 158°F
Answer: No - however its lowest temperature is 95 degrees Fahrenheit if that helps.
Q:
Where can i buy extra plastic tray liners? Kinda weird it only came with 1 of each.

Q:
does anyone know where I can buy another fruit roll tray? This one is 10”. All the round one’s I see for sale are 12-14”.
Answer: I would love to know also!!
Q:
Where can I buy mesh screen for small fruits, and fruit roll up tray to make larger quantity? No one sells them under 12 inches, this is 10 in.
Answer: I haven't been able to buy extra mesh screens or fruit roll up trays so far. I contacted the distributer who said they are looking into this. Contact the seller and tell them you also would like extra screens and trays. I bought some larger mesh screen and cut them down to do herb drying and small fruits, but can't find more fruit leather trays.
Answer: We are sorry that currently we do not have separate screens and trays for sale, but we have contacted the factory to produce them.
Answer: I contacted the seller directly. You can only buy from amazon. (i tried to buy directly from them :/). What sucks is that Amazon only lets you get 1 fruit tray AND it comes with a mesh tray (which I don't want). Annoying.
Answer: You can buy the 12 inch screens and manually cut them smaller to make it fit.
Answer: I’m sorry. I wish I had an answer for you because I was trying to find the same items you are enquiring about with no success. I’ve decided that I’m just going to try putting a sheet of parchment down onto the solid tray that comes with the dehydrator.
Answer: Good luck. the only place I haven't reached out too is the actual company that makes it.
Answer: Hi, i had the same issue
Q:
Do you sell extra fruit roll and mesh sheets to fit this model? 10.2 inches

Answer: Yes, the dehydrator is so great . I used it to dry fruits , veggies and venison. Good price and good price. I used it a lot in the fall because I harvested apples, cantaloupes, squashes in the fall. We hunted dears this year. The venison jerky is tasty.

Q:
Can i make chicken jerky?
Answer: I have made some venison jerky as a test, it worked out really well. This is a great dehydrator, I wasn't so sure at first when I couldn't find extra herb screens and fruit leather trays due to it's smaller size, but the company went out of their way to locate those for me, at no extra cost. The dehydrator works really well, both the temperature and time settings being so adjustable allowed me to dehydrate my herbs (low temp) and fruit leather, jerky, and dried fruits at higher temps. I really do recommend this.
Answer: absolutely!
Answer: Yes thin slices and season it ????

Product reviews of Food Dehydrator, Elechomes 6-Tray Dryer for Beef Jerky Meat Fruit Dog Treats Herbs Vegetable Digital Time & Temperature Control Overheat Protection Fruit Roll Sheet Included BPA Free
Mark : It works like it should, as quiet as any I've heard
The unit is compact, not quite as large in diameter as I had thought it was. The unit has preset temperatures (9 degree increments), you can not set a specific temperature. Across the range of preset temperatures it consistently is 4 degrees lower than the set point. This really isn't an issue, as most recommended temperatures for dehydrating fruits and vegetables fall in the middle of the presets. Clean up is easy. We're enjoying the dehydrator, and have done a range of fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms.
Kindle Customer : Excellent purchase
This is an excellent dehydrator. I've used it to dehydrate tomatoes, apples, whole hot peppers, mushrooms. So many things. Everything came out awesome. If it wasn't dry enough, I added more time.
Sara : BEWARE!
I purchased this dehydrator on February 24, 2021. I also purchased five additional sets of fruit roll up/mesh trays ($16.99 each), for a total of about $160.
I have used this dehydrator maybe ten times in the past three months. About thirty minutes ago, I turned it on to 95 degrees. Within two minutes, I heard a pop, looked over at the dehydrator, and it was smoking pretty bad. The coils were bright red, which I have never seen before. My house now smells like burnt metal.
I am beyond thankful that I was standing right next to it when this happened. It's scary to think of what could have happened if I was in another room, taking a shower, wasn't in the house, or if I was at work. I have sent an email to the company, but I'm afraid it isn't under warranty. I also came back here and read through some of the reviews. Someone else posted their experience, which was almost identical to mine.
While it worked, it worked really well. Make sure you use extreme caution if you buy this though. There are too many people who have had their's quit after a short time.
Kindle Customer : I use it often...
Dried fruit is expensive and often full of added sugars and other unhealthy ingredients. I bought this to be able to make my own. It’s very easy to use, doesn’t take up a lot of space, and does a decent job of drying fruit. I haven’t used it for any other foods. Based on my used, it’s been easy to clean.
mabg : Horrible
This would be the fourth dehydrator I have purchased all others worked as you would imagine this one it’s made with the material that is inappropriate for drying
Apple slices placed under the cheap plastic ratings stuck to them like low as they were dry making usage and cleaning a nightmare
A.L.W. : Works great
This is my first ever dehydrator and it’s pretty easy to use. I blanched one medium sized eggplant, sliced and lay them out in three trays. Set it at 140F and 8 hours and all done! The dried eggplants are more for cooking though. I will try yummy ones next time such as apple or pineapple chips.
P. T. : Small size trays that you can't get accessories for.
This dehydrator works fine, has the best packaging that I have seen, But I didn't realize the trays are only 9.5 inches and the manufacture doesn't sell extra screens, trays or jelly roll sheets. So good is packaging and smaller size for storage, needs improvement, is for the manufacture to sell extra trays, screens and sauce roll sheets, then it would be a 5 star.
Luis V. : Great dehydrator!!!
Great dehydrator!!! Used with bananas, apples, lemons, oranges and it works great. I have used different beef cuts to make jerky and it’s amazing!!! I have sliced and marinated over night adding different flavors, spices, sauces and it works great. You don’t have to eat jerky preloaded with sugars and salt just make it homemade with your likes.
Kane : Amazing customer support!!
Works very well. Also great customer sport. I has an issue after 7 months. They told me to keep the one i has and had another sent out within 20 minutes . I was shocked! THANK YOU!!!!
Mamalight : So far, so good --
The delivery was planned for one day, and then it was delayed for some reason. Otherwise, the product seems to be good. I've used it one time so far, and it worked well. I'm exploring additional items to dehydrate, so I look forward to using it more in the near future.
Jason : Solid little dehydrator
Gives you set increments for temp and you can only set the time to the half hour but neither of those are a big deal. Made jerky the day I got it delivered and it came out beautiful in only 5 hours. So this thing gets the job done. If you are planning to a LOT of dehydrating maybe consider a higher end model for more control on time and temp but for your casual user this unit does just fine
Dale M. : Great find
This is a nice dehydrator it quite. kinda small but it gets the job done. I can use it for my small berries without them falling through.
hawkofdiscord : Doesn't heat up to cook meat safely
Bought this product to make jerky only to find out it doesn't go up to 165 degrees the highest it can go is 158 that's not high enough to kill bacteria
CaliRich : My wife knows what I love
This fit a lot than I thought, cooked in about 5 hours. Love this thing, I haven't had a new one is about 15 years and this cooked in half the time.
Kehle : Easy to use and to store
I bought this specifically for dehydrating elderberries. I had to order additional plastic mesh for the extra trays, since small items fall right through the holes in the trays. All in all, it is a lovely dehydrator and works well. It does take a while to dry items out and through trial and error, we are finding what is worth our time to dehydrate. Currently we are big fans of apples, kiwis and it held up through a full week + of drying out elderberries.
Mamalight : So far, so good --
The delivery was planned for one day, and then it was delayed for some reason. Otherwise, the product seems to be good. I've used it one time so far, and it worked well. I'm exploring additional items to dehydrate, so I look forward to using it more in the near future.

Clawdan : This is a great product! The price is quite a buy for the value. It was exactly what I needed.
This was a great buy. Price isn’t high, but value is top shelf! I like the two ways to stack the shelves, and you can use different configurations. I made some pemmican, and used the dehydrator for the meat portion. The dehydration called for extra lean grass fed beef that h ad to be cut like jerky, but even dryer (yeah really), and at a very low temperature to save the nutritional value. That and the timer combination worked out exactly as I needed. Pemmican is the meat chopped up very fine and mixed with tallow from grass fed beef. Tastes like sawdust but the point of it is to pack in nutrition that doesn’t need special storage. This product worked awesome for this.
Jess : User error
I cannot figure out how to use this thing. I left fruit in there for 3 days and nothing really happened. I’m sure I don’t know what I’m doing and the product is actually just fine. Probably should only buy this if you know what you’re doing already or your willing to take some time to learn how to use, neither of which describe me!
rick liuag : DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
The dehydrator stopped working 5 months after purchasing it and the seller did not stand behind the product. Amazon washed their hands of the transaction, so I bought a dehydrator that worked for 5 months. Buyer beware of both the product and the seller!
Kisrten Parsons : Waste of money
Very noisy and had to rearrange tray order and fruit on trays for even drying. Small apricots took 48 hours
Julie : Excellent Dehydrator
This Dehydrator works perfectly. I bought it to make Beef Jerky. It makes great tasting Jerky in about half the time of other dehydrators. Definitely worth every penny. Love it
D. Rad : Not super fast, but ok
The drying process is a bit long, but it does work. Works better in the winter, I guess less humidity helps. machine is durable, I dropped it the other day and not a chip or ding. thats a plus. My daughters live using it, so overall a good purchase, price was good so worth it.
Amazon Customer : Easy to use!
I was a total beginner with dehydrating. This machine was so easy to use and has worked so well! It’s pretty quiet and we throw the trays in the dishwasher to clean with no problems. Our absolute favorite is to make healthy zucchini chips! Highly recommend.
P. T. : Small size trays that you can't get accessories for.
This dehydrator works fine, has the best packaging that I have seen, But I didn't realize the trays are only 9.5 inches and the manufacture doesn't sell extra screens, trays or jelly roll sheets. So good is packaging and smaller size for storage, needs improvement, is for the manufacture to sell extra trays, screens and sauce roll sheets, then it would be a 5 star.
d. tan : work with patience, but that's the way it's supposed to be.
You can set both the time (default 8 hours) and the temperature (default 95F). The instruction manual has a table with suggested setting for various food types. However, at the end, it still will take a lot of trial and error to get the effect you want. Just need to be patient. You'll eventually get it perfect!
Rachel Neeld : Great
First time ever dehydrating or owning a dehydrator. Very easy to use. I was looking for something to use as a beginner, that didn't take up a lot of space and I could preserve harvest from my small garden. So far I've used it for pepper and cherry tomatoes. Love how easy it is to set up and start. The only odd this is the temp setting they are in odd increments. I want it at 120 degree and it has 121. Just a weird quirk. I'd buy it again.
Timothy J. Higgins : Nice looking dehydrator instead of being all white
Using it the first time, have the temperature turned up as high as it will go! Making bananas slices, so I’ll see how long it takes after 9 hours. Might have to reset and go longer, will see! Will follow up with a update. The banna’s turned out exactly the way they should be, only took 12 hours. Then tried drying out cat nip, again really dried out! Next will be jerky! This is a very good dehydrator and works as described, can’t go wrong!
Customer : good flavor and very convenient
First round I used this dehydrator to make dry fruit, it took about 10 hours and result was great, the apple and banana slices turned into rich flavored dry fruit which my entire family enjoyed very much. It was very convenient to set the time and temperature as desired.
D. Vick : Great little dehydrator!
I'm really happy with this dehydrator. It works great, is not too loud and cleans up nicely. Has lots of screens. Love the temperature control. The only possible downside is the diameter of the screens. It's perfect for my hubby and I but mayb I've used it many times since I purchased it and really recommend this model.
Stacey DODD : Exploded on first use!
The instruction booklet was not ideal to navigate. I set it on the lowest degree possible in a well ventilated area and after about 1 minute, it made a large bang sound and flash and stopped working. Awful smell first time use that lasted less than 2 minutes. Waste of money.
IA : It's great!
Love my new dehydrator! It's easy to use and I also like being able to adjust the height between the trays. The trays are easy to clean however I do use silicone mats on the top two trays. The only thing I think that's wonky is the thermostat, If I remember right it goes up in eight or nine degree increments, which is strange but not off putting
Amazon Customer : Nice dehydrator
This this came packaged better than anything I've ever had shipped. Easy to use instructions. Esthetically pleasing. Comes with a booklet that gives times to dehydrate things. Timer and temperature settings. There is a fan noise but not disturbing at all. Started using it the day I received it. Can't wait to try all different kinds of things
Jason : Solid little dehydrator
Gives you set increments for temp and you can only set the time to the half hour but neither of those are a big deal. Made jerky the day I got it delivered and it came out beautiful in only 5 hours. So this thing gets the job done. If you are planning to a LOT of dehydrating maybe consider a higher end model for more control on time and temp but for your casual user this unit does just fine
jin yang : easy to use and clean
This machine is very easy to use. When you set the temperature and time it is very easy to set whatever temperature and time you want. It is surprisingly more quiet than I thought. By setting proper temperature and time we can get crisp dry fruit easily. Kids love it.
Susan : Easy to use, and works great
I use this product to dehydrate veggies and fruits that I turn into powders for my smoothies, extra nutrition in my food. Ai just recieved it Friday and it has already done a batch of spinach and a batch of broccoli. Next will be potatoes.
Z : Small dryer good size
It works as described, did not like is hard to clean because the dry meat or fruit stick on the shelves. other than that I liked that it has a timer.
A.L.W. : Works great
This is my first ever dehydrator and it’s pretty easy to use. I blanched one medium sized eggplant, sliced and lay them out in three trays. Set it at 140F and 8 hours and all done! The dried eggplants are more for cooking though. I will try yummy ones next time such as apple or pineapple chips.
Misty Flota : We all need that reliable big and small dehydrator!
PROS.... - racks are removable - racks can be adjusted - racks are dishwasher safe - can control the temperatures - dehydrates great - not loud
CONS.. - I can’t find any!
I have a Cabela’s 160L dehydrator that I love but sometimes it’s way to big and I need to do a quick small dehydrating session. This is a great 6 tray that can even be smaller if needed as you can remove trays. Best thing is the easy clean up because you can stick into the dishwasher and cleanup done! Keeps the heat in well making the time, less!
Gabriel : Absolutely Fantastic Beef Jerky
If you like Jack Links or the thinner, flatter, chewy (Texan style) stuff, this guy's perfect. Cut a little thinner than 1/4 inch thin strips of a boneless Eye of Round steak (about ~$7/pound), and 5 hours on max (158f) heat will be perfect if you like it dry, 4 hours for a little moisture. I've had it for less than four days, and already have three pounds of beef I'm incredibly proud of. I don't even plan on buying jerky again (~$15+/lb). Absolutely love it.

Andrew : Works great, blueberries take a while
Great dehydrator, have done mushrooms, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and a few other fruits. Works great, Blueberries took a long time but in it's defense I didn't look at time or temp recommendations and just kinda winded it w the blueberries so I put that one on me. Other than that works great and it was a good price for all the features and temp control.
Gaila T. : Not that impressed
I love how quiet this is, how ever this machine can take at least 3 times longer to dehydrate ????
Hollis D. : It does what it's supposed to.
This unit is doing what I expected how I expected. The bananas were the hardest to dry but same story with my old unit from yrs ago. I wouldn't get upset if you have to dehydrated items at a different time or temp, be patient it will happen. I love this unit. Great for the price. I'll come back after I do jerky
christina deutsch : Not worth the cost
I haven't had success with this product. I ordered one, and after 2 months, it wouldn't turn on. I got a replacement and now 4 months later, the fan won't turn on. I had better success with cheaper models
Salli Cordova : Smaller version
Took too long to dry apple slices. Put in for 12 hrs and still not done, put in for more 4 more hrs. Still not dry. Trays smaller than I hoped for.
Derek "Biomechgambit" Bubenchik : So far awesome. Next date update-I LOVE IT
its a smaller tray system BUT for me its perfect.. so far its fantastic. I'm doing bake beans and also some can chicken. Should be done when i wake up. All I need to do now is find more roll up and thinner screens. Next day update- AWESOME. Love this. Instead of extra mesh screens, I just use parchment paper and it works great.
EmpressEMT : I use it all the time works great
I dehydrate all the time and this machine is fabulous. I like that you don’t have to use all the trays if you don’t have enough to fill the dehydrator just to put the lid on like my old on did. I came with 1 fruit roll up liner and 1 mesh liner. I do wish it came with more roll up lines because I dehydrate a lot of stews and soups but I just use parchment paper and it works fine. I have also done fruits and veggies and everything turned out great.
Timothy J. Higgins : Nice looking dehydrator instead of being all white
Using it the first time, have the temperature turned up as high as it will go! Making bananas slices, so I’ll see how long it takes after 9 hours. Might have to reset and go longer, will see! Will follow up with a update. The banna’s turned out exactly the way they should be, only took 12 hours. Then tried drying out cat nip, again really dried out! Next will be jerky! This is a very good dehydrator and works as described, can’t go wrong!
Z : Small dryer good size
It works as described, did not like is hard to clean because the dry meat or fruit stick on the shelves. other than that I liked that it has a timer.
