Customer Reviews
Weird Fan Issues
When I first got the unit the fan would run on low speed and shut off and turn back on so it would take 3 days to dry jerky. Then all of a sudden I left it plugged in overnight and the fan ran all night and the air comming out is like a hair dryer so it dries jerky in a few hours. So obviously the batch of jerky that was left in it that night was dried to a crisp and ruined. Now that I have learned to monitor it it seems to working good but I am not sure if this is the proper way for it to run or not.
Not a good buy
Initially I was pleased with the apparent quality of this dehydrator, as the trays seemed to be made of a plastic that wouldn't turn brittle as quickly under its own heat. After 5 or 6 batches of apple slices however the motor sounds as if it will cease spinning any moment. The volume of air being moved through the unit is also much less than it was on the first batch.
Not bad for entry level dehydrating
We've had this one for a few weeks and so far so good. We are just getting into the dehydrating thing and are enjoying it so far. This unit hasn't given us any problems so far. We would like to have a screen for the trays so will probably upgrade soon (small items like corn or peas will simply fall through the tray grill), but as a starter unit this one has been good; we've already learned alot from using it. For the cost it was definitely worth it.
What a disaster!
I purchased one of these only to have the fan shut off within the first 5 minutes and it never went on again. I tried letting it rest and using different outlets and it still didn't ever turn back on. So I returned it and the replacement just did the same thing. What a disappointment. Do not buy this product. You may pay a little more for other machines but this one clearly has manufacturer defects.
major disappointment
This was our first try with this brand and it will be our last. Just like the other review, our fan quit, but ours lasted a whole 2 months. Spend a little more. JUNK!
