Title: LOVE this thing! Especially for the price!
Review: I have been having a blast with this thing. It works so well! The night it arrived we went out and bought a bunch of fruit and just filled the whole thing up. Set it up overnight, and had dehydrated fruit for breakfast (and yes, our stomachs hated us for it, but it was SO GOOD).The next trial was spices. I do a lot of gardening, and had a massive Oregano bush out back on the patio, so I harvested the whole thing and filled it all up. This was the one "Ehhh" area of the machine. It did a wonderful job dehydrating my oregano, don't get me wrong! But it only comes with ONE fine mesh tray, which I mean, is okay, I can put it at the bottom. But that "fine mesh" isn't very fine. A lot of the dehydrated oregano leaves fell down into the machine. It wasn't a huge deal, not even enough to take off a star, but I DO recommend getting some actual fine mesh if you ever plan to do your own spices.The machine is great though. It's super lightweight yet feels durable, it's compact, and it's reasonably quiet. It's a little quieter than like, a box fan on low setting. It's also really easy to use, and comes with an excellent manual explaining how to dehydrate different foods, what temperatures to use, and how long, even with a list of different fruits and veg! Really all you do is set the temp, set a time, and leave it. Anyone can use this thing. It's great!

Title: "Jumpin' Jerky makers Batman" - This works great for me and has digital timer and temp control.
Review: Did not write a review on this for months as I wanted to use the heck out of it before I did a review. The "Fat Wyoming Norwegian" gives it very high marks for sure. I dehydrate all my jerky in this during the winter months. It is easy to clean if you stack up the trays and spray a little cooking oil on them before loading. I like the clear lid and the digital timer and temperature controls. I have never been to Hamilton Beach before (ha) but this Hamilton Beach was a winner for me and lets you get your jerky just like you like it. It comes with two fruit mesh trays that fits into the other trays (I use them for the tiny bits of jerky that are always present and try to fall through the regular trays). Sure, we all wish our dehydrator's had more square inches to place our perfections on but this one is fine and does not have a huge footprint. Glad I chose this one as there are many, many to choose from. All I know, it that this one works for me.

Title: Great gadget
Review: I really like this dehydrator. It’s not as durable as I would like, which is why I gave it four stars. In addition, you have to use all five trays and… And if you break one, you won’t be able to use your unit at all. it’s really cool to make dried out foods to enjoy later, like apples, for example. The problem is you have to pre-treat the apples with lemon juice. This is a little time-consuming, but the end product comes out nice and tasty. However, you cannot dry everything and there is very limited shelf life once you do. If you want longer shelf life, you will have to get a freeze dryer and vacuum store the food.This machine is a little bit noisy and it takes a while to do the job.Overall, I’m happy with this purchase.

Title: Efficient and easy dehydrator.
Review: When I first received this dehydrator I wasn’t sure if it would do the job. It appears quite simple and a lot less “glamorous” than the all stainless one I had previously ordered, and subsequently returned. However, once using it I was very pleasantly surprised. It is very efficient, simple to use and relatively quiet. It sounds like a fan, and when running in my kitchen neither my husband nor I really notice it. More of a “white noise”. The food dehydrates well. I had an issue with carrots because I had chopped them too small, but that was my error.Dehydrating is definitely a learning curve but I believe with this appliance I can become proficient.Can’t speak to jerky as we are plant based, but I’m guessing it would do a fine job judging by my experience with veggies and herbs.

Title: Hoping this works as well as advertised
Review: Currently making my first round of apple chips I will update this with the results!!My impression so far- lots and lots of trays which is great, it’s not the most quiet thing out there, it’s a little louder than my hepafilter set on low. But it’s not overly loud. The plug in cord is a bit on the short side but that’s about my only issues so far!
