Excalibur 5-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator with Temperature Settings, 26-Hour Timer, and Automatic Shut-Off – Efficient Drying for Faster Results, Includes Dehydration Guide – Black Review

Read the reviews written about other Excalibur dehydrators and one of the most mentioned things is the extra money to get a built in timer. Add up the money saved making your own beef jerky etc and the cost was negligible. The dehydrator itself is easy to use and clean, making it even more enjoyable to use.

Just used this for the first time over the weekend to make beef jerky and it does a fantastic job! I set the timer as recommended in the instructions and checked about every hour after the first 4 (total time depends on various factors). Although the fan is very noisy, it provides excellent airflow so the trays don't have to be rotated. I used to have a cheaper dehydrator that didn't have a fan and timer, and the trays had to be constantly rotated to dry evenly. Now with this device, just set…

I've wanted a dehydrator for over a year and would like to research TON before I buy it. This dehydrator caught my attention for two reasons: it had really great reviews, but it also has a heater in the back that circulates warm air and dries your stuff more evenly. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your clothes dry evenly. It's difficult enough to get an even cut, but then you end up with products with overdrying and insufficient dehydration. This company also makes dehydrators…

I recently bought this dehydrator and have not decided yet if I should buy this brand of Excalibur which should be the best. Nesco, a cheaper version, is less than half the price. After reading some reviews I decided to invest in this product because in a few years I didn't want to buy another one as the engine runs for over 12 hours straight. , depending on what you want to dehydrate. I also went for 5 timer trays (instead of 9 non-timer trays) as that was another $100 more and the reviews…

My Excalibur 3526TB 5 Tray Food Dehydrator with Timer arrived on Wednesday this week, today is Saturday. Last weekend I decided to dehydrate our plums as our tree was littered with plums this year and I don't bother with canned plums, I made four large pans of plums in my oven at the lowest temperature (170 degrees) and I'm for it decided they tasted good, they were more like baked than dehydrated so i ordered this dehydrator. When I got home from work Wednesday night, my dehydrator was waiting

I bought one of these thinking I would get a good dehydrator that would last a long time because I had heard all about them. Was very upset that the fan inside wasn't working when I plugged mine in, accompanied by the smell of burning electricity and hot plastic because the back of the unit got so hot you couldn't touch it. I'll try again thanks to Amazon's return policy and update my rating until I get a working unit. Update: I got a new device on the spur of the moment only to plug it in and…

I've been using it almost every day since it arrived a few weeks ago. I am very happy with the wonderful kale chips I have made and I have found a way to make good and safe beef jerky for my dog. Although this will require some experimentation. The dehydrator itself is of more than adequate quality made of very durable plastic. It has a heater, a fan and a timer. As long as these components work, I'm happy. The fan is quieter than I thought. It is as loud as my very quiet dishwasher. Size wise,
