Oster FPSTDH0101 4-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this dehydrator; we actually bought two of them to keep up with the demand for crispy apple chips. Today the oldest one (was Christmas gift) started shutting off by itself, that is the fan stopped running. The older one which is a couple weeks old started last week to shut off. My husband returned it and got a replacement. I set it up this morning and the fan shut off within and hour after I started it. I have seen one other query regarding the fans shutting off. I would consider this a perfect appliance for the money if only I could find out how to fix the fan issue.
We tried using different electrical outlets but it didn't make any difference.

Fun and easy to use, this countertop food dehydrator makes all-natural beef or turkey jerky, homemade trail mix, apple snacks, banana chips, dried soup mixes, dried herbs and spices, and more in a matter of hours instead of days--it can also be used to make potpourri and dried flowers for any occasion. Simply lay the food out flat on the trays, secure the lid in place, press the toggle switch to "on", and it takes care of the rest. The unit's centrally located heater dries foods quickly and efficiently, while its electric fan circulates air for faster, more even drying with no tray rotation necessary. Four adjustable and removable trays come included. When finished, the lid and trays clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The food dehydrator measures 14 by 13 by 9 inches.

Excalibur ParaFlexx PremiumTM Non-Stick Drying Sheet PFP14 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally purchased five of the Premium Non-Stick Drying sheets, which came properly packaged in a mailing tube - the product has been great for making fruit leathers. However, when I ordered more sheets, they came simply thrown/stuffed in a box, and each had suffered creases that damaged the surface. I returned these with a note regarding the poor packing, and later ordered five more sheets. Unfortunately, these sheets also arrived unprotected and creased, basically just thrown into a box. I do not recommend purchasing an otherwise good product from this vendor until they improve their shipping methods.

AMERICAN HARVEST FD75PR 700-WATT FOOD DEHYDRATOR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Am very Happy with this product as it does what it says it will do in the time frame stated. The food on the outside dries faster but that is to be expected. It is easy to operate. We have added two additional trays at this time. I have purchased some frozen vegetables that were on sale and thawed them in warm water, dried them a bit and placed them in the dehydrator and it has done a fantastic job. I am familiar with drying food but have not had a dehydrator before. I have a FoodSaver Mini Plus to vacuum seal the finished product. Love them both and it is a good investment for me.
Highly recommend this product. I had checked reviews before the purchase.Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator

Good4U 10 Tray Dehydrator with 40 Hour Digital Timer - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Be warned with 12 sq ft of drying space this is a sizeable counter top addition, I dislike that you cannot just turn it on and let it run, you have to set the timer for it to start running, but that is a nice safety feature (I can be forgetful)
I have finally given it a break since I got it set up, and I have made some grawnola, bananas, apples, flax crackers, and a few other dried veggies for snacks and it has done an amazing job.
I am sure someone will get one with a bad motor, or danaged tray at some point and give it bad reviews, but I personally enjoy it and think it was a wise investment.

Excalibur 2400 4 Tray Food Dehydrator - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you do a Google search, which I should have done up front, you will see that the temperature control on these units is awful.
I have to crank mine up all the way to 145F to get the internal temp up to 100F (not even warm enough to dry without spoiling.)
Older Excaliber units were very good. As is the case with so many companies today, manufacturing has gone down hill. Fewer and fewer new purchasers are pleased with this product. I wish I had kept my shipping material. Lesson learned.

L'Equip FilterPro Food Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice unit, smartly designed and easy to use. I'm primarily making beef jerky, and trying different recipes is a lot of fun. I got unit for Christmas and have made 5 batches of jerky. Loved doing it and the jerky was I have to admit is very good.

That last batch of jerky was where my problem started, about an hour before the jerky was finished the dehydrator started completely losing power. Fan would shut off, the LEDs went off, but a rap on the side would get it to run for a while. I had to do this a couple of times got that batch of jerky finished.
I called Kitchen Resources (the number on the enclosed warranty information) and told them what was happening. They told me they would send me a new base (it was all I needed the rest is trays, lid, etc., no moving parts). Well a few days later a whole new units shows up, I swapped out the base units, (I really fought the urge to take additional trays). Retaped the box, used the supplied prepaid UPS shipping label and sent it back.

Kitchen Resources could not have made this any easier. With a 12 year warranty that is truely honored. Kitchen Resources should be proud of themselves and their products!

Metalware Open Country Beef Jerky Works Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased their Jerkey Making Kit. I was skeptical of turning ground meat into jerky. I figured it would dry out, fall apart and turn to something like Pemican. To my great surprise it held together and I was using Venison (lower fat content). The Nesco Flavor packets were quite tasty. The Ground meat Jerkey lacks the feel of tradtional strip beef jerkey but makes it easier to eat, especially those with dental issues.
The one problem I have with the jerkey Kit is that it is too small, you get less than 1/2 lb of meat per load, so you have to load the gun at least twice, usually 3 times per pound of meat. Sometimes it can gugle and spit when their is air in the meat. Usually by the last half of the tube the air has call compressed out but then you have to reload. If you really want to make Jerky I would get a gun with a larger capacity. But this gun proved to me it could be done (I had a lot of doubt).
One tip, squirt the meat onto wax paper and then transfer it onto your drying racks (I use the nesco snackmaster) when I squirted directly onto the racks it shoved meat between the grills and made it tough to remove. Maybe I should try it with that herb tray insert

Take ground beef, use the included seasonings, use the gun to squeeze the misture into strips or rolls, dehydrate using your dehydrator and voilA, you've got jerky! Fun, economical and easy, the whole family will enjoy making and eating it for snacks, camping, lunches and so on.
