Description of 🍎 Nesco Snackmaster Express Dehydrator 13.5" X 9.75" White - Top-rated Food Dehydrator for Healthy Snacks and More!

500-watt 4-tray food dehydrator dries in hours instead of days and opaque vita-save exterior helps block harmful light which destroys nutritional content of food being dehydrated. Top-mounted fan; adjustable thermostat from 95 to 155 degrees F. Converga-Flow drying system; flavors don't mix; no need to rotate trays. Includes fruit roll sheet and 2 original-flavor jerky spice and cure packets. Measures approximately 13-1/2 by 13-1/2 by 9-4/5 inches. Made in the USA of Global and Domestic parts. Note: " If a unit overheats there is a thermal cutout fuse (TCO) in line with the element that will open and render the dehydrator inoperable. This is intentional and is considered a safety feature.".

Replaces a 20 year old version of the same dehydrator

After 20 years my old one had completely burned out so I bought the same model so I can still use all my old trays. Great little machine. The new trays are even better. On my old one, the jerky tends to stick a little. They don't stick to these new trays at all.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Where's the timer?!

This thing bugs me a little. This was my first purchase of a dehydrator and for me it wasn't the price it was the size. I didn't want it to be the size of Texas and take up my entire kitchen. Despite being smaller than most, this one is still quite large. It seems like it takes a really long time to dehydrate things and without the damn timer you can't just set it and forget it. I bought this to cook chicken that seems to take 10 hours to cook. So if I don't start it before noon I feel like I…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are downsides

Should have bought many years ago!

This dehydrator is great; so glad i bought it. Runs very quietly and dries well. I recommend purchasing a screen cleaning bowl to prevent small items like herbs and small cut items from falling through the bowl. One day I dry fruit, the next day vegetables, then herb day, on the fourth day I snack so that he adapts quickly and continues to be strong. The included user guide has some great recipes you wouldn't normally consider, from pet treats to pina coladas and strawberry dakiri with rind and

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Very good dehydrator for the price

Love my dehydrator! It is almost identical to what my mother had as a child. I've only made fruit so can't comment on the meat, but the fruit came out perfect every time. Although the time I give it to "cook" has changed each time. I don't think it has anything to do with the dehydrator, more like the way I cut fruit or how humid it is outside. The only downside is the lack of a timer, so I've been known to wake up at 4am to check if my fruit is dehydrated. Also note that since the bowls are…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • No insurance

worth the price - kitchen and dining room

I am very satisfied. I had a cheaper dehydrator but it broke and I thought it might be worth upgrading the tier. I bought two extra trays and it was smart. I mainly dry bananas, pineapples, kiwis, peaches, strawberries, oranges. I made a batch of jerky out of curiosity and it was good. The plastic of the tray is flexible for easy cleaning. My old cheaper block was hard plastic and was harder to remove residue from. I don't really try to clean the trays, I just scrape off the leftovers. At some…

In this price range (and maybe some others!) it doesn't get any better

This is my second FD-60 as I had worn out my first. I bought a second one after much research and found that unless I wanted to buy a very expensive pro model, there really is nothing better on the market. Works as advertised and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Great for those of us who like to occasionally dry fruit or make jerky. Better yet, I can use the trays from my old device on my new one and really speed things up. Recently cooked about 6 pounds of beef. With 4 bowls, these are two…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Can I add something

I've been using the Nesco Snackmaster Express for over 10 years and have become very efficient at drying apples and beef jerky. I always knew that apples take 6 hours to cook and jerky 7 hours at different temperatures. Unfortunately, my old device stopped working and I had to buy a new one. The first one I got had a big gap between the lid and the skins which allowed air to escape and my first batch of apples took almost 10 hours (4 hours more). ). I sent it back and you know what. The new one

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Of the 4 dehydrators I own, the FD-60 is the best

Over the last 4 years I have dried a lot of fruit from late summer to fall. I have 4 dehydrators and keep detailed records of each. I've gotten so much good information from Revain reviews on buying dehydrators that I thought I could help someone like me. However, I remember going back and forth between two dehydrators and deciding to buy one of each as I needed two anyway. Here's what I've learned through BIG experience. Nsco FD-60 SAFELY is the best of the four dehydrators. It dries the…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
