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

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?
Answer: The dehydration time varies according to the degree of ripening, thickness and number of fruits. The general baking time is 5-22 hours. The shelf life of food varies according to the type of food, the degree of dehydration and the storage environment, and the shelf life of properly stored food can be up to one year. Please refer to the instructionfor details.

Q:
Can you dehydrate salmon with good results?

Answer: Dear customer, the size of tray is diameter 260mm/10.2 inch, height: 27mm /1.0 inch (Max). You could put suitable beef jerky according the size of every tray. Thank you so much.

Q:

Answer: It's at the bottom of the machine.

Answer: On the bottom it blows upwards
Q:
How many watts does this unit have? Thank you!
Answer: Kindly be advised that the power of our Elechomes Food Dehydrator Machine is 400W.
Q:
Can it be used outside in cold weather's

Answer: Yes, it can.
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.
Answer: Look on Amazon,, they carry them
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: they do, but not by piece. in other words, if you want 2+ fruit sheets, you can only get 1 & it comes with a mesh. got a confirmation from the company directly stating that you can't buy from them and that my options are whatever is available on Amazon

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 ????
Answer: Yes

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
C. Chen : Great machine, affordable price!
Very easy to use. I dehydrated cherry blossoms at 95° for less than 3 hrs and they are super dry.
The only complaint I have is that the machine is a bit loud when it’s on, so I moved it to a spare room and let it do its job.
Orly : Absolutely love it
I was so hesitant before buying. Cause I can dry food and fruit in the oven too, why buying it.
But after trying this, I’m sooo happy with this purchase. Very easy to use, save me a lot of time before it took me 6-7 hours to make 2lbs of beef jerky but now just after 4 hours, it dry enough, even a bit crunchy and not accidentally getting burn like the oven. First product I give 5 stars without questioning.
CJ : My first dehydrator - I love it !
Works great! Very happy with my purchase. Have used about 15 times already so far. The digital temperate settings is a plus too!
Tom M : Great for drying peppers.
Plan on drying items longer than the books say. We dried ghost peppers, habanero peppers and jalapeno peppers and ground them into powder in a coffee grinder. The dehydrator is easy to use, cleans up in a snap and works terrifically. Highly recommend.
Sandy : Dryer is too slow
The manual stated that mangoes take 8-12hr. I dried them for 24-36 hr and still not dehydrated all the way. I did the dehydration in my oven for 8 hr and had a better result. I even had other fruit in the dehydrator that should have been dehydrated in 6hr and it took ~12-16hr. This product is not worth the money.
C Nelson : Stop working in less than a month
I really did love this dehydrator worked wonderfully really easy to use for a first-time dehydrator but in less than a month after using it almost everyday it died got a full refund so I'm very satisfied with that unfortunately the product is not very durable which is very unfortunate
Amazon Customer : Perfect apple chips!
I love this dehydrator! Easy to use. I'm happy with the purchase. This is my first dehydrator I have ever bought. Glad I did! It's not loud, but the hum during operation can put a person in a rather restful sleep! Lol! Oh! And it beeps when it's done with its cycle! Great device for the kitchen!!
chris : Worked great while it lasted
Worked great for 6 months then he element went had to throw it away sure I would of had to deal with a lot of BS to get it fixed according to the other reviews
Bobwayland : Great dehydrator, Great company
I ordered this as my very first dehydrator because my veggie garden is really producing and I want to try drying things this year. Used the unit to dry chili peppers, tomatoes, and spices, and it does a great job drying them to the level you need. I even did some jerky and dog treats at the higher temps, and it came out fantastic.
Then my unit broke. It would not warm up, just blew room temp air. Not acceptable, obviously. I contacted the company Elechomes through Amazon. They got back to me promptly and offered a new unit after I sent in the damaged one. I asked if we could do anything faster, as I had produce that needed to be dried or it would go bad. Elechomes graciously agreed to send me a new unit immediately and process the return later. Got the new unit in 3 days and was back up and preserving!
I think you can tell a lot about a company when there's a problem. The unit broke - not good, but the company went the extra mile to make me a happy camper. Highly recommend these folks. Highly recommend the unit, it does a nice job with all the trays and temperature options.
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!
Kevin Smith : Better than Trader Joe’s dried fruit!
We’ve have tried to dry just about everything imaginable since we’ve had this. Some huge hits, some big flops but the process was really fun! All in all, great investment & has saved us a lot of money buying the pre-dried fruit from Trader Joe’s. So far the dried apples & pineapple are our faves!!
Going to try some meats next...
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
MCG : Good to research before purchasing a dehydrator
I think this product is easy enough to use, but I did not anticipate how time-consuming prepping the types of food I wanted to dehydrate would be. Nor, did I realize how long dehydration times would be for such a low yield of finished product. My lifestyle isn't such that I can spend the amount of time needed to prep food for dehydration + the length of time the unit needs to run using electricity and constant background noise. It took about 18 hours to dehydrate 2 oranges and the yield wasn't worth the aggravation.
The unit is nice enough, and I didn't have any issues, but not a good fit for our home so I returned it.
Janey : I wanted to like it, but...
I wanted to be able to dehydrate foods as I cannot do preservatives and wanted an emergency food storage. I researched a lot of dehydrators before choosing this one. I followed the directions exactly for dehydrating fruit. It stated that the fruit type I was doing should dry in about 8 hours. It took over 24 hours and was nowhere near done. I trouble shot and made sure that my fruit was not sliced too thick. I even gave it a try following online recipes to see if other people had better suggestions than the manufacture-- still did not dry. The product does not match the descripted usage times and makes it not worth it. In order to even dry a minimal amount of food, I would have to run this 24/7 for weeks.
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
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.
Duane B. : Temperature range is 95 to 158 degrees F.
We got this to make jerky as well as dehydrate fruits and veggies. You need to cook jerky to 160 F. so this falls short by a couple of degrees. It is very quiet during operation. Well probably end donating this one to Goodwill and getting one with a higher temperature range.
CLAUDIA GONZALEZ : Very nice
Just received item and I am very impressed by the nice protective packaging. I am giving it 4 stars as I am yet to use, but just wanted to share my first impression. Can’t wait to try. May report back with results.
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
C. Chen : Great machine, affordable price!
Very easy to use. I dehydrated cherry blossoms at 95° for less than 3 hrs and they are super dry.
The only complaint I have is that the machine is a bit loud when it’s on, so I moved it to a spare room and let it do its job.
Frank Wallace : Defective item
Did not work when arrived. Cheap product. I ordered a different brand and was a lot better for the same price.
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.
Special Bell : So far so good.
I attempted dehydrating in the oven which worked for the most part, but wanted something more convenient. Glad I spent the extra money for this one. Got the color & design I wanted. Automatic shut off. And it has an area to store the cord. It comes with a reference guide/recipes so you know how to prep and what temperature to use and such. It’s definitely not quiet. It sounds like a fan to me, but I don’t mind it at all. I’m excited to see how my fruit turns out. I started with oranges. Some with the peel and some without. I will update once they’re finished.
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.
Jane : Follow instructions, works great
The instructions are clear, it works fine. I haven't had any issues with it. I did find onions take longer than suggested. Do not recommend adding more layers than what it comes with.
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
AM : Doesn’t last
I’ve had this dehydrator for a year and now all it does is blow cold air regardless of what temp setting I put it at. Just wasted a batch of jerky. Before now it worked fine.
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!
Chris Colburn : Simple and easy machine to use
I was dehydrating basil and it took 3 full days to dry. So the warmth of the machine is off. It's easy to clean everything it's pretty simple to wipe out and clean. It's a plug and play basically. It's super easy to use. The only recommendations for making it better world be to add a valve on the lid to control air flow.
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.
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.
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

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
JoJo : One star over all rating
If your looking to buy more mesh trays for herbs, forget this thought. Looked everywhere online, NOTHING! Didn't try to find the one for making fruit roll ups. But if your not looking to dehydrate either one of these things. Great product for the price. I bought this just so I could dehydrate herbs.
Ann : Oven works better.
Things come out rubbery and moist at the highest setting for 8 hours. Not happy! I thinly sliced apples and they’re rubbery still the oven works better
Molly : Just not happy
I am just not happy with how it works or doesn't work in this case. I have tried 3 times to dehydrate apples and bananas and they never turn our right.
Frank Wallace : Defective item
Did not work when arrived. Cheap product. I ordered a different brand and was a lot better for the same price.
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.
eddie p. : Not worth the price but decent
Not worth the price but still decent
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
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.
chris : Worked great while it lasted
Worked great for 6 months then he element went had to throw it away sure I would of had to deal with a lot of BS to get it fixed according to the other reviews
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.
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!!!!
Richard C : Works as expected, temperature resolution could be improved
Have been dehydrating for years with a DIY unit for backpacking/camping. This was 1/3 the size of my home-built yet had more capacity. Works as expected and everything is great so far.
Pros: Lots of trays, leather insert has curved edges so should work great when I'm ready to use it. Can buy more leather inserts but waiting on them to come back into stock. Had an issue with one of the trays (my fault) and customer service went above and beyond to help remedy the situation.
Cons: Temperature resolution is pretty big, 6 or 7 degree increments IIRC. My DIY unit with its cheap controller has 1 degree resolution, it's not hard to implement. Only comes with one leather and fine mesh insert, a batch of leather will easily fill 3-4 trays. Again, these inserts are available to purchase but currently out of stock. Was able to trace the insert on parchment paper and cut discs out for doing corn and rice but stuck on how to do a batch of leather until the solid discs are back in stock.
Sam : Ease to use
A bit hard put the liners together but it heats up much faster than my previous one and has a timer which my other one did not. Also I can control the temp instead of using a ventilation system.
