Review on 🍎 Elite Gourmet Food Dehydrator: Adjustable Temperature Controls for Jerky, Herbs, Fruits, Veggies, Snacks - BPA-Free, Black 5 Trays by Robin Wilson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'll keep a consistently positive rating for a little longer.

It's good that the thing /works/, but not too well. Last growing season I loaned my expensive large dehydrator to my mom and decided to buy this small one for some fruit/herbs until I get mine back. Therefore, before purchasing this device, I had experience with other food grade dehydrators. When I bought it I knew it wouldn't be/as/good as another dehydrator, but I figured it would do the job. Pros: 1) It works in the fact that food is being dehydrated Cons: 1) It takes MUCH longer than stated in the brochure 2) There is no way to control/know what temperature the machine is currently heating to (the lights, that lights up when). You turn it on somewhat misleadingly in its positioning) 3) You need to make sure the levels are set PERFECTLY for it to work well. I'm not really happy with how long it takes to dehydrate, so maybe I'll get it back, but I'll give it a little more time before making that decision. For example: Herbs that should take about 5-7 hours took about 12. Apple slices (thinly sliced) took about 24 hours to fully dry. If they should last about 9-12.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
