Good Quality Item At An Outstanding Price - Nesco Food Dehydrator Review

By Alexander Gonzales


Because drying times vary, I don't feel having a timer would have been helpful. The heater/fan unit feels sturdy, and the trays are lightweight but sturdy too. I've made several batches of jerky, which the whole family enjoys. I've also dehydrated onions, apples, herbs, tomatoes (de-seeded and squeezed a little to remove some of the liquid), green peppers, garlic, squash, cherries, strawberries, green beans, corn and even cantaloupe. Tinker with some marinades and buy brisket if you want to dehydrate beef! I have also tried round and flank steak but brisket holds the marinade the best and is the most flavorful!

The machine stays on as long as it is plugged in, so you do have to come back and check the food every hour or so to make sure everything's going okay. But all in all, it's a great product, and I have yet to have a problem with it.

I researched for months and almost got the Excalibur model but they are so money! So I read the reviews here and thought I would try it.

They make the best snack foods ever! My kids loved the sweet potato chips and the banana chips. And that definitely causes the drying times to be unpredictable as well. Actually, it's not *that* noisy, but after twelve hours, you might feel differently. The unit performed flawlessly. We were able to dehydrate everything in less time than expected. This was so easy to use and such fun things you can do with it. My husband was so impressed that he asked me to purchase another one so we can have constant sweet potato chips in the house. I saved more than that making my first 1 pound of jerky! As others have said, clean-up is a piece of cake especially with the clean-a-screens - I recommend going ahead and getting enough of these to cover each tray.

It's a very nice product, and it works great! Much better than the Ronco one we had years ago, and less expensive. It will make beef jerky is about 7 hours. I have used this unit about 5 times and no sign of discoloration or usage. I highly recommend it for the money. I would suggest getting extra trays right from the beginning. I use it 2-3 times a week. All I make is beef jerky.
