Review on 🍏 Gourmia GFD1680 Countertop Electric Food Dehydrator: 6 Drying Trays, Digital Countdown Timer, Preset Temperature Settings, Recipe Book Included by Tom Bailey

I bought this product mainly for drying fruit/vegetables and meat. I haven't had a chance to dry meat yet, but I've had a chance to dry beets (for chips) and mangoes. Overall, this is a decent dehydrator, but it does have a few downsides. Disadvantages: 1. Heat distribution leaves something to be desired. I highly recommend using an external thermometer when drying meat to ensure the temperature is correct. In my experience, the highest temperatures are on the back of the unit (closest to the heating coil). The front of the device may be 5-10 degrees colder than what is shown on the display.2. The racks with their intricate little holes are an absolute pain to hand wash. The manual says the trays aren't dishwasher safe, so you'll have to do it by hand. This can take quite a long time. Pros: 1. Easy to use (can't stress this enough) 2. Quiet. I can hardly hear it even when I'm in the kitchen.3. Large interior (holds about 3 beets or about 4 mangoes for drying)4. The look is pretty cool even after many hours of running (I ran 28 hours straight)
