I bought this after wanting one for years and I wish I hadn't waited so long. It's straightforward to operate, the temperature settings are clear, and the food comes out great every time. Genuinely one of the more useful things in my kitchen now.
Does exactly what it says. Happy with the purchase.
ok this thing is actually so good for making dried fruit. my kids are obsessed with the apple chips 😊.
Really pleased with this. It's simple to use, the trays clean up easily, and the results have been consistently good since I got it.
The temperature control is more precise than I expected at this price point. I do herbs at a lower setting and jerky at a higher one and it actually makes a difference being able to dial it in rather than just guessing.
What I noticed pretty quickly is that the heat distributes from the back rather than just the bottom, so you don't get that thing where the lowest tray is overdone and the top ones are barely dried. Batches come out much more consistent.
Told my friend to get one of these after she mentioned she was worried about heat being uneven across the trays. She'd had that problem with a cheaper one years ago. She texted me after her first batch of apple slices and said everything dried out evenly, no burnt edges on the bottom tray.
Very satisfied. I use it regularly and it hasn't let me down so far.
GREAT FOR JERKY!!
the five trays give you real flexibility. I'll do one tray of banana chips, another of herbs, another of beef strips, all at once. As long as the temp works for everything you're doing, you can mix it up and it handles it fine.
