Elite Gourmet EFD319 Food Dehydrator, 5 BPA-Free 11.4" Trays Adjustable Temperature Controls, Jerky, Herbs, Fruit, Veggies, Dried Snacks, Black

I bought this to remove the absorbed moisture in my dry-n-dry reusable desiccant beads that I use for filament storage as well as in my AMS on my 3D printer. It refreshed a good amount of desiccant in less than 2 hours using the highest setting which is about 70*c. I used some tray designs from makerworld and it worked out really well. I will be trying this out to dry filament as well.It's the perfect size and easy to modify. I cut out the bottom of one of the trays so I could make it a taller space. I'll do this to more of the trays when I dry filament in it. I've attached some before and after pics of the desiccant. This was after about 1.5 hours or more (less than 2 hours) of run time and I took the lid off and checked a few times during this process.

Great price; love that it's compact when stored. I made parchment paper rounds with enough space at the inner and outer part to allow for airflow, and it worked great on making "eggplant bacon" and in drying thinly sliced bananas. So far, so good. And it's not as loud as I expected for this kind of machine. All in all, I'm very satisfied - especially with its compact size, that's been a real plus.

I recently ventured into the world of food dehydration with this nifty gadget, and it's been a game-changer. The adjustable temperature settings (95ºF to 158ºF) and 48-hour timer make it versatile for drying everything from fruits to herbs. One weekend, I got a bit carried away and dehydrated enough apple slices to feed a small village—note to self: moderation is key! However, the five trays, while ample, can be a bit tricky to clean if you're working with sticky fruits.Overall, this dehydrator is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, perfect for those looking to craft healthy, homemade snacks with ease.

This was a great machine. Dries 15 peppers with room to spare. Easy to operate and the setting allow adjustment for any need. Highly recommend!

I love it! So far I’ve only used it for herbs but I love it! Compact, fits nicely on my kitchen counter; and because it’s black and gray I feel it looks nice on my kitchen counter. I still put it away when I’m not using it but at least it’s not cheap looking gaudy white. Pretty quiet, drys stuff fast in my opinion. My only small complaint is I wish it fit together better in the expanded position. It’s a little tricky to get the trays to stay in the correct position. But all in all, I’d say it’s definitely worth the money.

The trays feel a bit flimsy but they stack well, just don’t abuse the poor thing and it will last well. It’s works for everything I have put in it: meat, veggies, fruit, mushrooms, etc. all turned out great! Comes with a guide book for various foods as well. I just put the items in at night and it’s done in the morning for most things. Fairly quiet, but occasionally it beeps.Decent size and I like that you can choose how many layers to add so it doesn’t feel like you’re wasting space. This is the first one I have ever owned and I have been delightfully pleased with it, but that also means I have nothing to compare it with. For a noob, I’m pretty happy!

Does an okay job, but takes a great deal of testing and monitoring, so plan on practicing to have your fruits et al. come out right. Occasionally uneven drying. Seems a bit fragile.

This is a good, basic temperature control only dehydrator at a value price. The trays are reversible to change heights for thicker items. You can use one or two trays for small amounts.
