Elite Gourmet EFD319 Food Dehydrator, 5 BPA-Free 11.4" Trays Adjustable Temperature Controls, Jerky, Herbs, Fruit, Veggies, Dried Snacks, Black

I’ve been genuinely impressed with this dehydrator and use it regularly. It’s very easy to use, heats evenly, and has plenty of tray space, which makes it great for making snacks at home in larger batches. I mainly use it for dehydrated fruit and snacks like bananas, mangoes, and chickpeas, and everything has turned out consistently well with a great texture every time. One of the biggest wins for me has been the cost savings. I used to spend quite a bit on store-bought dehydrated fruit, and making my own has saved a lot of money. I also love knowing exactly what’s in my snacks—no added sugar, preservatives, or fillers. Even with frequent use, I haven’t noticed any real increase in my electricity bill, which was a pleasant surprise. The trays are easy to clean, the controls are simple and straightforward, and it runs quietly enough that I feel comfortable leaving it on overnight. It’s become a regular part of my kitchen routine and makes healthy snacking easy and enjoyable. One small con: if you’re brand new to dehydrating, there’s a bit of trial and error at first to figure out ideal slice thickness and timing for different foods. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s very easy and consistent. Overall, this has been a fantastic purchase. It’s reliable, efficient, and well worth it if you want to make your own snacks at home. I’m very happy with it and would absolutely recommend it.

Works great for the first batch of drying orange and lemon slices. The noise when it is on is tolerable like a fan sound/white noise. Compact, great price and very easy to operate, clean and store.

Works great! And great price! I use it to make dehydrated snacks for my dogs, and this does the trick. One caveat, it does NOT have a timer on it. I give it a 8/10 because of that. Other, I would purchase again

The Good: * I like the timer in one hour increments * It has several different pre-defined temperatures, which happen to work well for my use case (I'm actually using it to dry out 3D printer filament) * It's small and doesn't take up much room when not in use * It is clean and looks good on the desk when I'm drying filament The Meh: * The fan is a touch loud. Not bad, and it doesn't squeal or anything, just a little loud * The beeps are very loud, but you only hear them when setting up the timer and temperature The Bad: * Nothing The Verdict: Definitely recommend, especially for 3D printing hobbyists. I got this as it was recommended for drying 3D filament, and it works great. The highest temp it goes, 158 F, is just about perfect for drying PETG filament, which I use a lot of.

I bought as a gift. We love it. Not noisy, functions well and easy to clean. It really does the job and it’s easy to store!

I love the variable temperature on this dehydrator. I have dehydrated herbs, including dill, oregano, basil, as well as parsley and onions. The book came with clear instructions and I watched tutorials as well. Works very well, I did not try dehydrating meat of any kind.

Nice digital control dehydrator. Love the stackable trays design that collapse down quite abit when not in use. Default setting is 158 degrees and 10 hours. As I was just drying orange peels as we consume them, I set the timer for 1 hour each time and after a few cycle they're dried enough for storage. The reason I bought is my wife keep trying to air dry the peels and they ended up with molds after days even with the drier winter air. So far so good and it acts as a potpourri for the room also!

easy to clean and easy to use, But i move the trays to get it more even and it seams like it doesn't let the moisture get out. Takes quite a long time for things. I mostly do apples. 1/8" thick. takes 36 to 48 hours. Ive tried high temp. Just makes some crispy.

i wanted a food dryer to take advantage of all the half priced fruits and vegetables in the stores, and more so, to make wholesome dried treats for my dog, like dried yams and things. I found this unit on amazon, decently priced at 54 dollars, and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is a great little unit. i say little, but it is almost 12 inches in diameter, and has 5 trays, so there is a lot of surface area. The dial has 3 temperature ranges, from 95 to 150 degrees, in a continuous setting, so you can set any temperature between the two. the dial is analog, not digital there is no display but who cares. I don't need to control it from my smartphone. the booklet is very helpful, tells you all the drying times necessary. It was a pain at the start when i unboxed it, because you have to wash up everything, then run it for a minimum of 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residue, then wash it up again. It compares very favorably with units costing up to 2 hundred dollars. some of them, more. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this unit, being made in China and all, and would definitely buy it again.
