    • Vast improvement over last dehydrator
This isn't anything fancy. It's a higher quality than the garbage made in China, and I'm happy with it so far. It looks like if the motor burned up, or there was a problem with the timer, I could order replacement parts and actually fix it myself, rather than having to throw the whole unit away. I have to second the people who said that it wasn't packaged very well. It came in a trash bag inside of a cardboard box, with a few pieces of broken styrofoam. It arrived undamaged, but I see how it could easily become damaged. I'm not sure the price is justifiable, but if it lasts for 20 years, then I think it was worth it. ... show more

    • Really good dehydrator
I love beef jerky. I love making beef jerky. It is more expensive to make at home than it is to buy at the store, but the results are so much better it is worth it. I upgraded from a disc-style dehydrator after the motor burned out. This thing actually holds more meat despite looking smaller overall. The trays are close together, and without a hole in the middle, I can pack a lot of meat on them tightly (but not too close) and use space more efficiently. It actually has more surface area than my old one, too. This is a really nice dehydrator that dries evenly. I never have to rotate trays or flip meat. I just load them up, set the timer, and test when done. I can literally come back four hours later and not touch anything until them. With the disc-style dehydrator that is nowhere near true: meat at the bottom will be wet, meat at the top will be charcoal. The underside of the meat will not be as dry as the top. Sure, you save money on that style, but the process is nowhere near as easy (they are just as difficult to clean). The only problem with dehydrators in general is cleaning them. Keep in mind I only care about beef jerky: if you are drying vegetables or flowers it is probably easier to clean. First of all, lay some foil on the bottom of the unit before loading trays. Then throw it out when you are done. Once you are done with the trays and ready to clean, you need to pre-clean them. While dishwasher safe, experience tells me no dishwasher can remove the caked-on grease well enough without a little help. First, I scrub the trays themselves (the black parts) using a non-abrasive scrub pad. I aim for all the grease, top and bottom. I then remove the top rack of the dishwasher entirely and slide the trays in vertically. Run the dishwasher, remove right away (no heat dry). Next, I scrub the liners to get grease, peppercorns, and other chunks out of the tiny grates. I run them through in the top rack, three at a time (three loads of three liners equals the nine total liners). Again, no heat dry, just get them all through the dishwasher ASAP. If you try putting them all on the top rack at the same time they will not get clean. It wastes more water to do three loads but at least they are clean and sanitized. Once that is all done I load all the damp trays and liners back into the dehydrator and run at full temperature for an hour or two to dry off. The heat and time here also makes them lay flat if they curled at all in the dishwasher due to not laying perfectly flat. Those liners are murder on scrub pads, and the whole process of spending an hour or so scrubbing all those pieces makes my wrist sore. However, I end up with a nice and clean product ready for another batch of beef jerky. This product may cost more than a lot of others, but you get what you pay for. I have never been happier with a dehydrator than with this one. ... show more

    • Watch the 30 day limit on Prime returns expires. These are POORLY PACKAGED and CHEAPLY MADE.
I have read reviews that the Excalibur is the best dehydrator to get. I ordered the one with the digital panel for just over $400. It came and looked beautiful but very poorly packaged. The dehydrator had eight little styrofoam corners in the box, but then the box was just placed inside a bigger Amazon box with no cushion at all. I have never seen that high priced of an item that poorly packaged. The door was broken with a crack all the way through the plastic, but it still held together, so I wasn’t that worried. I didn’t have time to use it initially, then I went on vacation. I finally get back and get food on my trays and in the dehydrator and turn it on for the first time and it sounds horrible! Well everyone says they are loud. But then after a few minutes it STOPS with an error message. I take all the stuff out and unplug it and restart it and I can see a wire is rubbing against the fan. I also see two loose screws in the area by the fan just laying in there. Also noted the back of the unit had a screw that was halfway out of the case as if someone else had this unit and unscrewed it or it wasn’t assembled correctly in the first place. Wondering if someone else returned it and Amazon just sent it to me because it works initially when plugged in, so you wouldn’t know as it takes a couple minutes to kick off. Boyfriend had used the box for target practice, so it is riddled with bullet holes, so luckily no one will get this unit shipped to them. Why would you put loose wires right next to a fan without wrapping them or putting them in some little housing of some sort? I unplugged it and was gently able to move the wire away from the fan without disassembling it, but even without the wire rubbing, the dehydrator continued to kick off after a few moments with the error message. Over and over again. The owner’s manual has no key for the error messages. The call center number sends you to a new number. Boyfriend said he could mess with it, but for that price you shouldn’t have to, so he did not disassemble it. Also I didn’t want that to interfere with my return. Boyfriend told me the components are similar to a little wall heater and probably only cost $25, and that the initial investment in these was the injection mold for the unit itself which probably cost $75K back in the day. They have used the same mold for multiple models, so they are making a killing on these and could do such a better job with construction and shipping. Luckily all these problems happened on the LAST DAY I could submit a return, so I was lucky. If you order this, make sure you use it before the 30 day limit for a Prime return. If you are lucky enough to get one that works, good on you. After the return process, I may reorder, but I’m nervous about that kind of money on something that is that cheaply made. I’m looking for a used on on FB Marketplace instead. ... show more
