Product Description

VonShef 5 Tier Food Dehydrator
Make your food last without the need for a refrigerator with our spacious 5 Tier Food Dehydrator, great for long-term storage of food and also for creating classic favourites such a beef jerky and dried fruit slices! No longer will you have to rely on the limited storage space of your fridge or freezer; once dehydrated you can keep food in your cupboards within jars, zip-lock bags, and other compact options.
With an adjustable temperature dial from 40° to 70°, you can dehydrate a wide range of food types and sizes, allowing you to get creative in what you decide to make. Thanks to an efficient flow drying system, drying is a slow, even process that gives perfect results every time, removing all of the bacteria to allow for long-term storage without spoiling your food.
Use your dehydrator to tackle a variety of foods, from vegetables to meat, fish, fruit, herbs, and more to save ingredients to be used in a recipe whenever or to save snacks, perfect for travelling or picnics! The 5 removable tiers provide a wide amount of space for you to dehydrate a number of different foods at one time, with each tray measuring at a sizeable 31cm x 25cm (H x D).

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers find the dehydrator works well for making jerky and dried fruit, is simple to use, and offers good value for money. The product is sturdy and easy to clean, with one customer noting the dish-washable shelves and lid. However, customers report mixed experiences with sturdiness and drying time - while some find it efficient, others say it takes much longer than expected, and while it's great for drying edibles, it takes longer than advertised. Additionally, several customers report issues with brittleness, mentioning trays becoming brittle and cracking within the first week of use.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2019This budget dehydrator works after a fashionl... eventually. The basic looks aren't bad - everything feels quite solid and chunky, particularly the base (in a combination of plastic and brushed steel), although the baskets and lid are entirely made from a hard, brittle-seeming plastic that despite solid construction feels quite vulnerable to damage should it be dropped/knocked. Problematic, as using all 5 layers of baskets (even if not filled) is recommended. The baskets don't stack away inside one another in any kind of way for storage, so this is quite a bulky item
The accompanying guide is not the best, it gives some basic tips for dehydrating particular types of foods - e.g. the use of lemon juice to help reduce browning of fruit... but really not enough to work by. Although lemon juice is suggested, the manual neglects to mention that this should be in solution and not neat lemon juice. The results obtained from drying fruit slices coated in neat lemon are rather tart!
The temperature of the unit doesn't seem to reach the suggested levels, I ended up cranking this up to the (supposedly) 70 degree top heat setting to dehydrate apple slices and yogurt, but even so most things seem to take far longer to dehydrate than is suggested. The heated unit and fan are built in to the base, and each layer has a fairly wide circular hole in the centre, in addition to the grid structure of the plastic baskets. The baskets need to be rotated regularly, as the ones closest to the heating element dry fastest. Using greaseproof paper or silicone dehydrator sheets helps to prevent foods being dehydrated from moulding themselves around the grid structure of the plastic baskets, but also seems to slow the drying process further. Baskets and lid are all dishwasher safe.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2024Plenty of room and good easily controlled temperature. Easy to use.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2024Used this dehydrator to dehydrate multiple batches of food last year, it was fine - it took a long time, probably 48 hours or more, to dehydrate my food each time, but it worked. This year the shelves started failing and everything I have dehydrated tastes absolutely foul - I think it's infected with plastic from the shelves. Luckily for me I have discovered this before leaving for a 2 week wilderness camping trip, had I not I'd have had to have got a float plane to replace the food at immense cost. Now I just have to mentally to to cope with 20 or so meals which I've cooked and now need to be binned. Just so much waste, worst purchase I have ever made. I have now ordered another one with metal shelves costing much more than this one. DO NOT BUY!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2024Looks good and well maid and easy to use however I had orange slices and banana round which should take
6-12 Hours I had it going for 36 hours and the orange slices were still not fully dried. I have since tried in the microwave and took less than an hour.
