Excalibur Food Dehydrator 8-Tray for Jerky, Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs, Pet Treats, 7.2 Cu Ft Drying Space with Adjustable Temperature Control and 80 hour digital timer, 8-Tray, Stainless Steel

The Excalibur Electric Food Dehydrator Select Series 6-Tray with Adjustable Temperature Control Stainless Steel with Glass Doors 700-Watts has been excellent for drying herbs. It works efficiently and dries herbs evenly without needing much attention. The temperature control is easy to use, and it maintains a consistent low heat that is ideal for delicate herbs. The trays are spacious and allow for good airflow, which helps everything dry evenly. The unit feels sturdy and well built, and the glass doors make it easy to check progress without opening it. I am planning to try making jerky next, and I am looking forward to seeing how it performs with that as well. Overall, this has been a very reliable and easy-to-use dehydrator that works great for herbs.

After first day and week, hooked! Easy and large enough to get the work done! Jerry, cocktail fruit, snacks like banana and pineapple chips...this can do it all!

I use this dehydrator often. It works very well and has plenty of shelf space. The pullout bottom tray makes it easy to clean. The wire racks are a bit harder to clean due to them being larger than the kitchen sink.

Works great

Update: Excalibur finally responded and said the light bulb wasn't under warranty (which I expected, even though it lasted for only a few seconds). What I wanted to know was how to access the light bulb to change it out. They said I would have to disassemble the dehydrator to access it and by doing that I would void the warranty. What in the world???!!! Overall I like the dehydrator. However, after the 2nd use, the light bulb either burner but or the switch doesn't work. I had only turned it on to inspect the produce, then right back off. I reached out to Excalibur and they needed a list of items from me - just short of my first born child. A 10 second minimum video has to be included. I provided all this information. Wanted to know what bulb and how to access it. SILENCE!!! Now I know this is a small thing, but this is a clear indication of what would happen if the problem were larger and it made my dehydrator useless. Perhaps I will get a Corsi if this one dies. Let me add, that the first one I ordered arrived with the glass falling out of the doors. I returned it to Amazon for a replacement. I know ow someone above in the comments said the racks were plastic. They are NOT plastic, they are metal.

I don't have a ton of experience dehydrating food, but this machine seems pretty nice. I liked the reviews I saw so I went for it. First batch turned out very good. Machine seems to run efficiently. Very quiet. Very easy to use. Can't wait till summer time to experiment with different fruits and herbs. We have so much fresh fruit in the area, it seems weird to buy fruit in the winter when prices are higher. Will definitely stock pile this summer. Haven't made jerky yet, but I feel like it will be a breeze when I do!!

The magnet that holds the glass front door closed comes away from the frame when opening the unit. Care must be taken when opening or the magnet could get lost.

Loved loved loved this machine. Had to sell to pay a bill. Durable dehydration easy to clean. Lots of trays. Metal, durable.

Muy práctico, cumple con mis expectativas

Alguien me ayuda a saber cómo hacer los chips de verduras? (Camote, betabel, zanahoria). Utilicé la receta del libro que trae y quedan agüadas. Intenté hacerlas de nuevo sin cocción previa y quedan sin sabor.

Fantastic!

chegou dentro do prazo previsto. *as portas de abertura, não têm uma boa fixação, uma delas saiu na mão ao abrir. vai ser necessário colar. fora esse detalhe, funciona perfeitamente e o equipamento é muito bonito.

Excelente
