excellent purchase.... I should that bought this ages ago. Half dried green mangoes for a pickle and it has turned out just the way it used to when my Mum used to make it for us in Kenya. Now to try out the carrot pickle and then to do banana chips and apple crisps. I can see endless possibilities with this device.

Absolutely fantastic machine. I bought this to make fruit leathers for my kids to take to school, and have made so many now because it is so easy to use. I have also dried fruits and veggies in pieces, in fact I don't think it has been turned off yet since receiving it 2 weeks ago because it is constantly full.
The trays are large, and I have lined them myself with some thickish plastic for the leathers. It is easy to clean and very very quiet when running.
Instructions are very short and to the point but it is so easy they are all that is needed.
Love the temperature control. It doesn't come with a timer, but I just leave things and remove them when I am around and have the time, nothing has over dried so far.
A perfect machine for beginners.

I don't have many kitchen gadgets as I hate them taking up worktop or cupboard space, however, this one was definitely worth the purchase. I dried a huge batch of fruit the day I received it - it's much bigger than you expect. The see-through trays are also ideal for seeing when the food is dried. I have a huge herb garden & fruit patch so can't wait to get the dehydrator working on that during the summer months. Plus, although meat isn't mentioned in the manufacturer's guidelines, I don't see any reason why I can't make beef jerky in it - will pull out a recipe & experiment with that in the next few days. If you eat a paleo style diet this is a brilliant way to keep nutritious snacks at hand all year round.

Have used this a few times since buying it. Simple enough to use, safe enough to leave running, big enough to do quite a bit of food at once. I now own lots of banana chips etc!
I do a lot of trecking/camping/climbing and am a vegetarian - so dehydrated my own food saves a lot of weight, money and gives me a lot more versatility with my diet than pre-packaged food (I'm sick of pot noodles, smash and cup soups!)
The one thing missing is a timer (so four stars) - however this is not a major set back as over dehydrating by an hour or 2 has not caused any problems for me yet and I can always use a plug timer.

This was much bigger than I anticipated when it arrived. I looked at it and thought 'where am I gonna put this' when I took it out of the box. Now, the measurements are mentioned accurately in the description, but when you look at a 12" ruler and imagine it, for some reason, you imagine it smaller than it actually is. You'll need a good bit of workspace to place this and use it and I personally had to rearrange my kitchen to find somewhere for it to go. My slow cooker is now AWOL *lol* (in the bin, I barely used it anyway, so no loss)
The day before it arrived I bought a few packs of strawberries so I could try it out when it did arrive. Oddly (very oddly as they are a popular fruit!) the small instruction book that it comes with DOES NOT tell you how to dehydrate strawberries! Huh? surely strawberries should be in the pamphlet? everything else is, well - almost everything else you will possibly want to dehydrate. So, my old friend Google came into play, I had to spend a good hour searching about for the right temperature and time needed to dry strawberries. I actually ended up buying a book full of more detailed instructions. I would say the pamphlet included is pants as strawberries are not even mentioned. Duh.
It works a treat! It looks good and after testing it for the first time drying strawberries, different coloured peppers and apple slices, I can say it works well and easily. I have had to order some Ascorbic Acid as apples apparently need to be soaked in a solution of the stuff (its powdered Vitamin C) prior to dehydrating - but I didn't do that with my first lot of apples and they came out fine, if not as white as they would be if they had been soaked in diluted ascorbic acid first. Tasted great when I nibbled on them after they were ready.... Read more ›

I had high hopes for this product! I received it very quickly but on opening the packaging found 3 of the trays broken ( which I must add were very quickly replaced by the supplier! ) However it very soon appeared that there was a problem with the tray part of the product! The plastic seems to be very brittle and cracks or breaks very easily furthermore there are several places where the plastic has become distorted presumably due to not being capable of handling the temperature! It wont be very long before The trays will be unusable, and I will have to look for an alternative system!I am very disappointed with this product as I was looking forward to producing lots of tasty jerky! unfortunately I do not think it is fit for purpose!!!
It's now February 2013 and have to report that there are only 2 trays that are still serviceable and even those have small pieces of the mesh broken! It is such a pity because it does produce great jerky!!!
Does anyone know if the stainless steel trays offered in some of the more expensive systems would fit this one?
March 2013 I got in touch with the supplier and they very quickly sent me 5 replacement trays under the guarantee! And I am going to turn the temperature down slightly and increase the drying time to see if that makes any difference!
I must compliment the supplier for their very prompt action! Thanks

Good product.
I does what says in the box. I recommend it, and make sure that you follow the instructions, if your fruit slices are too thick, it will take forever and the results are not that... Read more

Ok
I wish I looked more into the dimensions of this product as it is really huge, and I didn't realise that it takes upto 8-10 hours to dry stuff.

So much fun
This product is so much fun and has barely been off since I got it. The trays are a little fragile, however, and two of them had broken within a few weeks. Read more
