107 customers mention78 positive29 negative

Customers like the temperature settings of the food dehydrator. They say the variable temperature is a must, it's quiet, light weight, and simple to set the temperature. The heat flows self regulates based on the number of trays you use, it keeps the heat where it should be, and it has "flow" technology to ensure even heat and air circulation. It gets plenty hot to make jerky, yet for drying herbs and fruits a lower temp is nice. Customers also like that the settings are right on the top that tell them what to set it to for each, which allows for some adjustability with what they're making.

"...I especially like its square design and ease of use. However, the instruction manual is only a guide...." Read more

"...If you woulda pulled out and looked at it.... looks brand new and almost can't tell it was ever used...." Read more

"...Square is really good. I found I could load a lot more produce using fewer trays (I bought two extra so used a total of six per batch)...." Read more

I've had this 10 yrs.; still works great.
5 Stars
I've had this 10 yrs.; still works great.
I bought this 10 years ago. I've made jerky and all kinds of dried fruits and veggies. It's always dehydrated great for me; no problems. I just made dried bananas today. They aren't crispy; more like fruit leather, but very tasty. See picture.
