I can't believe how beautiful it is. I looked at many offers from other brands and was very concerned about the amount of plastic in the so-called "large" models. I chose this model because it's all stainless steel (and has the best reviews). The Ivation Dehydrator (I have the 10 tray model) looks and feels like it costs twice as much. Everything about it is so well made that I was very impressed when I took it out of the box, and it looks so good I don't mind leaving it on all the time (which is good because it's big!) . There are a few features that I would pay more for if they were available as an option. It would be nice if you could set the temperature precisely instead of in "9 degree" increments. I'm new to dehydration and if the recipe says 135 degrees it would be better to set the exact temperature than deciding to go higher or lower. I wish you could turn down the beep or turn it off as it's a bit loud. I would also like to buy more leather fruit bowls as only one was included. Although I didn't see it as an option. But that's not an obstacle for me. I'd rather have a high-quality product at a very reasonable price and forgo a few features that aren't that important to me anyway. In addition to the materials used, another important feature for me is the size. And that thing is huge! I am planning to start gardening this year and really want to dehydrate most of the crop. I currently have about 6 pounds of dried apples (cut into about 3/16 of an inch). It would take several days to go through an oven or small dehydrator. I don't have an oven thermometer so I can't verify the accuracy of the temperature setting. I'm curious and will try to remember to update it when I get it and test it. All in all happy with this purchase!
