Title: Quality and drying time
Review: It only took 4 hours to make dog jerky and that was fast. The old nelco brand took hours to dry anything. This Beast is replacing the old style nelco and I already know it is going to be fabulous. It is so quiet you don't even know it's on. It seems to be of good quality and is also lite weight. I'm pretty impressed so far and I highly recommend this Beast Dehydrator.

Title: Fabulous
Review: Great product. I have used it regularly and for multiple products. I have recommend it to family and friends. Couldn’t be more pleased. Also it fits between 5-10lbs of ground beef jerky sticks.

Title: I like it but there's room for improvement...
Review: I like the size and it works well. I do find that even with the fan to circulate air, I still have to rotate my trays 180 degrees and move them from top to bottom once or twice through the drying process in order to have even drying.As for improvement, a louder and repeating alert that signals the dryer has shut off when the timer runs out would be VERY helpful. My dryer is set up out of my line of site and the single quick beep when it shuts off is barely audible, even if you are standing only 6 feet away. If there is any other noise going on (kids, radio, conversation etc.) you won't hear it. I end up setting the timer on my phone so that I don't forget about the dehydrator in the other room.To go along with that thought, another big improvement would be a "hold" cycle that would keep the food at a safe temperature if you are not able to remove it immediately.Overall, I like the machine and it does a good job, but for anyone looking for a dehydrator (including me for my next one) I would definately look for one with those features.

Title: The dehydrator is great!
Review: This Dehydrator is great!! I got it for a property I own in Texas and host large gatherings at, and we love making a bunch of jerky for all of our guests! The recipes are awesome and I can’t wait to try out some more of them for New Year’s.If you’re looking for a dehydrator that walks the walk, and is A BEAST, this is the dehydrator you need—Way better than my little old plastic one I had to fuss with! Glad that Denali provided some of the silicone mats also, didn’t even realize they were included with the amazon purchase. Overall, this is a great product and I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get started with dehydrating… once you start dehydrating, you’re going to quickly realize you need a larger dehydrator, and this one is a perfect size for those that love jerky!

Title: Hot enough to catch fire, really, do not buy this death trap.
Review: Purchased in September 2023. It malfunctioned and died in September 2024. Now it gets SUPER HOT, like dangerous catch your house on fire hot and there is no way to control it anymore. Its' a death trap at this point, seriously that hot could catch itself or something near by on fire. This made me sad, because for a year it gave me outstanding service. I used it a lot, and I bragged about it a lot, I recommended it to people a lot. But it only lasted 12 months, sitting in the same place in my kitchen, not moved around, not bumped or dropped, not in the garage, just right there cause that's where I used it, and then tried to kill me in my sleep (I woke up to my peppers burnt black inside of it and the metal sides too hot to touch). Most people leave their dehydrators running while they leave the house or go to bed, because they hardly get hot at all. Well, I take back all the nice things I'd said before, something like this should last years, decades even, not 12 months to the mark.Also, the back and sides are attached with rivets, so you cannot open it up to attempt your own repair, it does not open up at all, you're just screwed with a dead machine you have to throw away. Stupid China, so so sick of stupid cheap China crap.

Title: Best dehydrator I've used.
Review: This dehydrator is just about perfect. The build quality is good and I really enjoy the abundance of recipes inside the recipe book. The fan is indeed whisper quite. I love the silicon placement mats that also came with the unit and the fact that everything is dishwasher safe making clean up a breeze.

Customers say

Customers like the functionality, quietness, and ease of cleaning of the food dehydrator. They mention it works well, is very quiet, and the fan is whisper-quiet. Some appreciate the awesome recipes and the informative instruction manual. However, some customers have reported that the quality out of the box was not great and it only lasted 12 months.
