LEM BigBite 10 tray unit is an excellent dehydrator. Was able to dehydrate sliced apples evenly on all trays front to back. Can hold 16 medium sized apples sliced into 3/16 to 1/4" inch thickness. This unit takes less time to dehydrate than a typical plastic matt tray dehydrators as the stainless steel trays allow more airflow under the fruit. I saved about 2 hours drying time over my old Excalibur. The all metal interior, and fan makes me feel that I am safe from microplastic particles getting on fruit that are possible from cheaper plastic interior dehydrators. Most dehydrators have a one year warranty but this one is 5. It looks like a quality machine as well. A nice bonus is that it is very quiet.

Extremely quiet. Works well. I’ve done 3 full loads of beef jerky, all trays loaded, dehydrates evenly, did not have to rotate racks. Excellent large capacity. Great value so far. Will see over time it’s durability.

Made some deer jerky after a successful season 5 pounds used half the racks I would estimate that it could do 10 pounds never switched trays or rotated and everything was dehydrated evenly very happy with the purchase

Good compact design, but may be too compact? There is very little room between the trays. And no drip tray below the drying trays so cleanup can be difficult

From the glass front door to the stainless steel enclosure with 10 sq ft of dehydrating space, this unit is a compact powerhouse. It's smaller than my countertop wine refrigerator, so the footprint is as good as any dehydrator I've had but far more capacity. Also included are (10) stainless steel drying racks and a drip tray for easier cleanup. I love making my own jerky and there are so many seasoning/flavoring choices I want to try. I also love dried fruit (so does my dog). Great healthy snacks for the grandkids and whole family. Nice easy to read digital readout with timer. Great unit, the manufacturer even provides a 5 year warranty, who does that anymore? I give this product 5 stars!!! Fast shipping

This LEM Products BigBite 10-Tray Stainless Steel Dehydrator is pretty awesome. It gives you a lot of control over the temperature and time while also giving you lots of rack real estate to dehydrate your food. The first batch of Jerky came out perfect and I am already getting prepped for the next batch. Clean up was easy and I can't wait to do some more large batches. Very happy with this dehydrator!

So I tried it today for the first time. Sliced up my apples and coated them in lime, then put them in for 7 hours at 135. I think I sliced them too thin and didn’t leave them in long enough. I just put them back in for two more hours and we’ll see what we get. The ones I tasted were not quite all the way dry and had a paper like quality. I’m looking forward to trying it again. It was easy to use and has lots of potential, it will just take me a while to get used to. Has a slight whirring noise while running and one rack holds one apple with very thin slices.
