    • Replaces my 25 year old pro model
Style: Dehydrator
Review Image by D. Hauser D. Hauser
Have had the no digital one for many years, where all the electrics are in the base. Workhorse, but had to open up and clean out bits occasionally that well down into the fan. Was getting noisier over time, and when I saw this newer version with all the electrics on top, figured it was time the old one. Really nice that all the 15.5" trays from my old one fit with the new one, as I had 8 trays and screens. They can be a bit pricey accessories, so nice they all are still usable. Each of the new trays had flashing around several of the locking lugs on the tray bottoms. If even one of the lugs has that casting error, the tray won't be able to rotate and lock onto the tray below it. Picture I've attached was of a typical one. A few were worse, but about half of all of them on each tray needed attn. Had the same locking lugs on the old model, but those old trays were cast more precisely, with no flashing overflow. So,,,, took some time to clean off the lug flashing with a deburring tool I had around. Viola... Now all of the trays lock together as they should, with full interchangeability between the old and new versions. Going to dry tomatoes today. Already tried a 30 minute test of this new machine, although haven't verified the temp accuracy as yet. Certainly quieter than my old one, so after that flashing cleanup, I have my fingers crossed ... show more

    • Died in 5 days, but quickly replaced
Style: Dehydrator
Started using the unit almost right away, which was fortunate because it stopped working after 5 days. Kudos to the company as it was replaced quickly with a new power head. Note- i had never used a dehydrator before, so was wondering about the long dry times that were needed on the first one- as it was many hours beyond what i read as ‘typical’. Seems its low performance was an indication that it was defective. The new powerhead drys much faster. Very pleased. Lost some stars for the trouble. ... show more

    • Nesco FD-1000 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator
Style: Dehydrator
I got this dehydrator three days ago and it's been used everyday since. I've never made any type of jerky before and the stock Nesco flavor is just okay using lean ground beef but making jerky from muscle meat and making your own sauce mix from recipes online this thing really shines. The first day we over did the spices and man that stuff was killer hot and the second day we backed off with some of the HOT spices which was good but not as good as the hot stuff is. Today we did some pineapple chunks which was far better than the dried sugary retail products. On the control panel there are only four buttons start/stop, increment UP, increment DOWN, time/temp and the L.E.D. display. Once it's plugged in there is continuous power to the unit until it's unplugged meaning the LED's remain lit. first press of the time temp button lets you set the temp, the second press of time/temp lets you set the cycle time in 30 minute increments using the UP/DOWN buttons. Once you set your temp and duration you then just press start and wait for it to time out and turn off the heating mechanism. It is a well made product that won't require watching (but I wouldn't leave home with it running) and to be fair, I wouldn't leave home with a crock pot running either. If you get one of these you'll also be shortly looking for a food sealing outfit if you don't already own one. Together these will save you some serious money if you have a larger household. I really should have looked into this a long time ago. EDIT: Quick Start/Tips/Lessons Learned! Having used this dehydrator a few weeks now and mixed a few different flavor mixes I thought I'd update this review to remove some of the mystery in making good jerky and help newbies starting out. Making jerky can be done 2 ways. By using lo-fat ground beef, or muscle cut meats i.e. top round, bottom round, or London broil cuts. If you are using ground beef along with the Nesco seasoning kits you'll be in good shape. However when you adventure to make muscle cut jerky with a 'Sweet & Spicy' recipe from allrecipe dot com. After mixing all the wet & dry ingredients it didn't occur to me that I was missing a crucial ingredient to the mix! It was 'The Cure' that comes in the Nesco kits! So if your mixing your own flavoring be sure to purchase some brand of meat curing salt that has 4 to 6% of Sodium Nitrite (if you plan to vacuum seal and freeze your jerky.) This isn't normally a problem since the jerky you make will will be quickly consumed by family and friends. If your going to freeze it use the salt and also get the oxygen absorber packets to throw in your vacuum seal pouches or it will spoil rapidly. Another observation I found was that the ground beef jerky was much more softer than the muscle cut jerky even extruded at twice the thickness of top round slices. Another observation was that the times quoted made the jerky more tuff and to compensate to get a more softer and juicy kind of jerky I lowered the time from 7 to 4 hours. It makes the flavor more pronounced. If you have additional/extra trays in your dehydrator then just increase the time. Now that there is abundant low cost jerky around I put some in the food processor and reduced it to shred and put that into both baked and pinto beans while they cook. It works pretty well in those side dishes. If you like it hot, forget adding extra measures of peppers, and tweak the Ginger. If you like it sweeter, tweak the pineapple juice. ... show more

    • Great for jerky

    • Easy to clean and drys evenly.
Style: Dehydrator
I use it for beef jerky and drying fruits and vegetables. This is my forth one of this brand since about 1985. I started out with a light bulb suspended above a tray inside a plastic container back in 1981. This style of dehydrator , with the air going up the sides and across the top and bottom of the food does really nice. I like that all the mechanical parts are on the top. When drying marinated meat, the drippings drop down to the bottom tray and there is plenty of room for the excess. I had their pro model with the motor and fan on the bottom for many years but the drippings fell into the fan and motor area. I had to disassemble it on occasion to clean it out. NESCO FD-1040 Gardenmaster Digital Pro has an on switch, timer and heat setting. It would suite me better if it had a fan speed also. The other pro one had a fan speed but no timer. The timer is most important because you can have it finish after bed time. In the past I would have to set an alarm clock so my food wouldn’t over dry. ... show more
