Review on πŸ₯© NESCO FD-1018A Gardenmaster Pro Food Dehydrator with 8 Trays for Perfect Jerky and Snack Preparation by Jessica Hernandez

Gardenmaster vs Snackmaster Pro

Something new in dehydration so here's what happened. Read the reviews and try to get a reasonable price not knowing if the kids (B/G 16 twins and 13 year old daughter) will eat it. Snackmaster seemed like the best choice. I also bought 6 more trays along with mesh inserts. After testing several batches, how long it took, which crop, how many minutes it took the kids (and I) to eat 11 bowls of banana chips, a dehydrator wouldn't cut them. Ordered Gardenmaster within a week. with 6 more trays and sevens. Are inch sized trays important along with the ability to stack 30 trays? Has anyone done this? I love it, now I use both. The Gardenmaster is a lot noisier, but with the 8 trays included, the drying time is a lot faster. It's so loud it's like not wanting to be on the phone next to it. This is a more convenient non-motorized charging. Storage space, yes, a little more. The diner is very quiet and still does its job, just takes longer. 600W vs 1000W Gardenmaster. On the left the Gardenmaster with a total of 7 drawers, on the right the Snackmaster with 11 drawers. I wish I had started the Gardenmaster now, I don't have a supply of fruit or beef jerky yet. seems to have disappeared by nightfall. Update 9/23/20 Used 20 fruit and jerky bowls last year. As long as it sticks, no problem. So far there has been no progress on the stocks. I find the noise a problem, I will order ten more fruit bowls. I don't think I would try 30 tray jerky, I don't feel spicy enough. Like the unit.
