  • It works but too pricey considering the following...
It works but for the price I wish I spent a little more and went with another/better unit. Pros: It does as it states Cons: No power switch, just a power cord to plug in for on, and unplug for off. Really, in todays day and age? No temperature adjustment, straight 160 degree temps. Non-expandable as there are no options out there for additional trays for THIS PARTICULAR unit. Old model/outdated??? Save yourself the trouble, spend a little more, and if you really want a Presto branded dehydrator, AVOID the 00600 model (this one) and go for the 00601 which has all the additional features I mentioned this unit lacks. Or go with another brand entirely if you're in this price range ... show more

  • Dehydrate your own food, it's super easy!
I just got this out so I could dehydrate some garlic scapes and make them into powder. It has been working really great with everything we've tried so far. We've done tomatoes and herbs. Once my garlic is ready I'm going to dehydrate some of that too. I also just bought some extra trays for it, you can stack up to 8 of them. I ordered some screens too, to cover the trays so I can dehydrate stuff that needs to be cut smaller or will stick to the trays. The trays are a bit of a pain to clean, and it is a bit noisy. You could always set it up in a pantry or a garage to avoid the noise. My son just commented that he liked the "soothing" noise it makes, so to each their own. If you want to be more self reliant, this is a great gadget. ... show more

  • Very bulky but works just fine
This machine is very bulky so just fyi if you have a small kitchen. We ended up having to store it in the garage because it was taking up so much space. There is no temperature setting. It is either on or off. It does its job. Especially if you don't want to use your oven and get your house hot. I just set the dehydrator outside on the patio and it can run to its hearts content without warming up our house. Not super easy to clean because of the bulkiness, but still, not really any issues here. ... show more

  • Great product
Once a month, I dehydrate raw chicken feet as treats for my dogs. I had this brand of dehydrator for years and when it finally gave out, I gladly found this one on Amazon! As I usually dehydrate close to 5 lbs., I luckily was able to use the extra trays that I purchased years ago for my previous dehydrator. ... show more

  • Great bargain for the right purpose
I purchased this primarily to make jerky treats for my dog. There have been so many recalls on chicken jerky treats, including from premium American brands, that I no longer trust any of them. In addition, the jerky treats are very expensive. What made me choose this unit was: (1) It is cheap, paid < $40 (2) While watts aren't everything in terms of performance, this has the highest watts for the dollar compared to competing brand bargain models (3) It collapses to save space. I had a dehydrator a long time ago and remembered one thing I did not like about it was it's large size and difficulty storing if you have a smaller kitchen. (4) I have a minor preference for heating from the bottom. Since heat rises, this works with nature vs pumping in the heat from the top and so I assumed it might dry more evenly. How does it perform? Operation: With partially frozen chicken, it takes me a very convenient 20 minutes or less to slice and load up the unit with your typical 1 lb+ pack of chicken breast. It will take up no more than 3 out of the 4 racks. Sliced about 1/8-1/4" thick, it will be dry in 4-6 hours. With very thinly sliced meat, it only takes a couple hours. I find I only need to rotate the racks one time a few hours in as the top racks seem to dry a little faster. I've also made sweet potato chew treats. Unless those are cut thin they can take very long. I tried approx 1/2 inch cuts, like you might buy in the pet store, which took 12-16 hrs. The thicker end cuts, with skin on were still springy (not hard like the store, perhaps they bake them). As others mention, it does not have a power switch, it just goes on when you plug it in which is not a problem for me. Noise: I noticed a lot of comments about the "noise". It would be hard to describe this as "loud". My house always some kind of white noise so I don't notice this at all. It produces the same noise level as a small fan. I suppose if you have a very quiet house, the kind where you can hear the grandfather clock ticking away downstairs at night, then perhaps this might be distracting. It still seems a stretch to call this loud. Storage: Even though it collapses vertically, this is still a big appliance in terms of diameter and not easy to store in a small kitchen. Make sure you have room for the approx. 15" diameter. Height-wise, the collapse saves you almost half the height than when it is setup to run. Cleaning: The racks are too big for my dishwasher to load vertically. I think they would be too big in most dishwashers. However, since they are just a plastic grate I find they get very clean just loosely stacking them horizontally. I accidentally left the dishwasher heated dry on once and they did not melt. The bottom is the only cleaning issue. It houses the electronics so there is no putting this in the dishwasher or sink. I just turn it upside down over the sink, wipe crumbs out and then clean it with Windex. it stays spotless but I am just dehydrating plain chicken breast strips and some veggies, so all I have are crumbs. If you are making jerky for humans, which might require a sauce, you would have to be careful with that in this unit. In the middle of the base is a hole where the heat comes out of. It has a screen over it, but I can see liquid drippings being a minor caution. If I was planning to make saucy things like that regularly, I might consider a top heated model instead. In conclusion it is a convenient and useful appliance for the price. For me, it has already paid for itself in dog treat savings. ... show more
