🍏 Chefman Food Dehydrator Machine: Touch Screen Electric Multi-Tier Preserver for Jerky, Fruit Leather, and Vegetable Drying Review

I love it. My family loves jerky but the price is outrageous. Now that's no longer a problem. We make our own and season to your liking.

Just arrived. 5-6 pounds of thinly sliced fillets pickled in 2 days. Works perfectly. Not as fast as an oven due to the maximum temperature of 158F. But it's a lot easier than using the stove and I put the unit outside to keep the temperature in the house down. Very quiet fan. About 8-9 hours for everything. Cleaning bowls are quickly soaked in hot soapy water and brushed. All in all a worthwhile purchase

Very nice dehydrator. I've had it for a month now and so far I've only used it on fruit. I've experimented with apples, blueberries and bananas. It comes with a tray for small fruits and nuts to keep them from falling through, which is handy. Most of the fruit stuck to the skins on the first try, so I sprayed them on the second use. A very good article.

This dehydrator is amazing! It's easy to move because it's so light. Cooked beef jerky in 4 hours. I've also made dried fruit. Love the fact that it turns off when you're done. I'm busy chasing kids and don't have time to watch it. The only downside is that the door must be fully closed. Kind of sticks to the side. I like the window that you can see clearly through. That way you don't have to open it like a round one.

I bought this because of good reviews. I've been using it almost continuously for several days. I understand that every product changes with time and temperature; But using their manual in directions doesn't dehydrate the food. I have fresh basil from my garden. He suggests leaving the herbs at 100-115 degrees for 4-6 hours. I did it twice. Now I've set it for another 10 hours - 18 hours total, all at 115 degrees. In the photo you can see that the basil is still wet and not ready for storage. I

I decided to make my own beef jerky and the dehydrator seemed like a good idea. This one is pretty cheap and has a decent amount of customization options. Having a digital timer and temperature setting is awesome! Just set and forget. I've found that I have to leave the jerky out a little longer than I should because the door feels cheap, which causes some heat loss. It has a drip tray on the bottom which works well considering the drip tray design. Cleaning is very easy, everything is made of…

I love this car. Drying fruit for the first time. I have a mango tree and wanted to find another way to keep the fruit longer than freezing. Great appetizers with mango and skin! So far I've made strawberry chips, bananas, figs, pineapples, mangoes and keep experimenting. Love it! My only regret is that the temperature does not rise above 158. To cook jerky you need 165 degrees which is the required temperature to cook beef/chicken jerky. They advise bringing the meat to that temperature after…

This product does not heat above 158°, to safely prepare jerky the temperature must be at least 160°. I don't think this should be sold with the intention of making jerky safe in this machine, there was an instruction manual that came with this machine that clearly stated Beef Jerky at 160° and Pork at 165° should be heated. Purchasing this machine that claims to make jerky gives the false impression that this machine is safe to use to dehydrate jerky. So I dumped a large batch of meat and…
