I’ll start by saying I have no experience with dehydrating food. I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ve been managing just fine thus far. For a beginner this is a lot of fun for me to play around with and a memorable activity for me and my kids to do together and it’s a great way to eat healthy because everything tastes better when dehydrated imo. I’m also able to save a lot of money because I can preserve discounted fruits and veggies. Only real downside so far is I’ve been treating it like an all you can eat buffet eating veggies off the tray before it’s complete lol. I absolutely love this thing.

I’ve used this to make several batches of apple chips, as well as dehydrating berries. Works great!

We received our food dehydrator and the day after it arrived we immediately started dehydrating bananas and apples. We PACKED the dehydrator (oops, we read the directions after, lol. We won't pack it like that again as we don't want to strain the dehydrator if that's possible), but it dehydrated everything very well regardless.

my first dehydrator. been using my air fryer, but it could only hold 1/2 apple at a time and apples take approx 6 hrs to dry, so wanted an actual dehydrator to be more efficient and give my beloved air fryer back for other uses.love the size of this machine as its reasonable on taking counter space. light enough I could stash it on top of fridge if I wanted. warns about keeping not setting it on non-heat resistant counters , tables, etc. the sides get warm but it is only a bit warm on my counter, so no problem.I sliced a medium apple for each of the 5 trays so as not to over load a given tray. I did rotate the trays half way thru, but didn't really see a need to do so (at least not with apples....may depend on what is being dried).the manual is very detailed except for suggesting what temp to use for different foods. I just set mine on high. the air appears to be circulating well. the machine is very quiet. I will gently hand wash the trays rather than risking them in dishwasher.so, while I am no expert on dehydrators, I am extremely pleased with this machine. looks nice on my counter , and I am sure it will get a lot of use. I am not planning on doing meats, fish, jerky or fruit leather. mostly fruits for me.

Idéal pour déshydrater fruits et légumes. Par contre je n'avais pas remarqué que les degrés n'étaient pas inscrits.Il y a 2 façons de déshydrater. Pour la viande j'aimerais essayer un autre modèle.J'aimerais en parler sur ma chaîne YouTube que je suis en train de mettre en place.

Maybe it’s all dehydrators, but the idea of this was way better than actually using it. It’s fairly quiet while running, is a pretty decent size (not too big), made some nice dehydrated strawberries on the first use, and a seemingly great price. BUT it’s not dishwasher safe (not easy to clean), takes FOREVER to dry things out that aren’t sliced paper thin, and started sounding a little weird after the first use.

Works well enough. You can set the 5 tiers at 2 different heights depending on what you're dehydrating. It does take longer to dehydrate & has less space between each tier than my old dehydrator. My old dehydrator could make sun dried tomatoes in 12hrs, but the NutriChef took 18hrs. It's also much noisier than my old one, which I don't like. It is very easy to clean & it's nice to be able to select what temp to dehydrate at, but I'll still likely order a different dehydrator that works more efficiently & quietly.

This seems to work well and easy to use and clean. However the reason why only 3 stars is the condition that the boxes where in when got it. Seems to have been slam into a door on the edges. The machine itself seems okay thought.

I bought this dehydrator to replace an old one that had worn out. The operation is similar but I have to say, I am really enjoying the clear design of this one in comparison. Before, I was always lifting trays to check on the progress of dehydration, but with these trays I’m able to see. I don’t need to waste heat by constantly opening it to check anymore. I still do occasionally lift and rotate trays for long dehydrations but that is more out of habit than necessity. My old machine wasn’t as balanced in its drying and needed that. This machine is so much more consistent. The only thing that I wish had been included is solid trays for making fruit leather. I had some from my old machine that fit. They can be bought separately if you want them and I will probably do that to upgrade to more modern silicone. Some things I like about this machine are the adjustable temperature and number of trays included. I find dehydrators work best, the more trays I have inside, which is probably why the heat is so even in this one. The trays are dishwasher safe, which is a help, especially if making something messy like jerky. Because of the large diameter, I lay them flat on the top shelf to do so. It is a very nice dehydrator. Perfect size for pretty much everything I need. Good for making dehydrated meals for camping, preserving stuff from my garden, making jerky and fruit leathers, etc.

Easy to work right out of the box. The process will need to be practiced until you know how long things take to get the desired product you want..

I've used it for veggies and fruit and it does that OK but requires a lot of time, however I made some chicken jerky and it only took around 8 hours which was nice. Very good.

I love that it has its own temperature control. It is so easy to use and very eady to clean.
