Homdox Food Dehydrator Machine, 8 BPA-Free Trays, 72H Timer & Temperature Control 158°F Max, 400W Dehydrator for Food and Jerky, Fruit, Herbs, Meat, Veggies, Dog Treats, Fruit Roll Sheet Included

It works great. Very easy to clean up and store away. I would recommend this one . We have tried different recipes in it.

The Homodox Dehydrator has been a welcome addition to our kitchen, as we embark on a journey towards a more sustainable lifestyle. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of high-end dehydrators, it certainly gets the job done. One crucial tip we’ve learned is to always use the plastic clear cover on the top. Without it, air escapes, and dehydration becomes ineffective. Fortunately, a quick Google search provided us with additional instructions and techniques to optimize our dehydrating process. The included instruction and cooking book is a nice touch, but we’ve found more comprehensive tips and tricks online. Nonetheless, the dehydrator offers two height options for the trays, allowing for versatile dehydration of various foods. We purchased this dehydrator specifically to reduce food waste by preserving excess produce from our garden this summer. In that regard, it has served us well. For the price point, it’s a solid choice for beginners looking to dip their toes into the world of dehydration. Overall, the Homodox Dehydrator offers practical functionality and serves as a gateway to sustainable living. While it may require some extra research to maximize its potential, it’s a worthy investment for those seeking to reduce food waste and live more eco-consciously.

It has a nice shelf profile, compact and looks great on the cabinet. I have used it numerous time and found it pretty easy to use. Noise level is minimal. Pros: looks good, easy to use, dries all shelves within 6 hrs depending on the product. Easy to clean with some caveats. Very easy to program. Cons: Instructions lack english comprehension, you need to use online sources for tips. Cleaning can be problematic if you have a small sink. It may be dish washable which would help but I havent used that option. Stacking can be annoying as you have to lock them together, so will do lots of turning round the trays to get them right. Have to rotate trays during drying as the ones on top dont dry as fast. Tips: I use this alot for chicken jerky, learned to spray the trays with nonstick oil first saves cleanup time. rotate rotate rotate to ensure even quick drying. No idea why you would use lower temps to dry, even finely sliced zucchini strips dont burn on the highest temps, using low temps only adds to overall dry time. use a marker to indicate up/down on trays to eliminate some of the fudging around while you stack them. hand washing is easy but awkward due to the number of trays. unit holds 3 large chicken breasts, or 3 medium finely sliced zuccs for chips. you need silicon trays to make liquid stuff like fruit leather. i recommend this unit for beginners and for hobbyists, would need a bigger more serious unit for large scale dehydration.

Perfect gift for my husband!

I had all trays filled and set the temp at 158 , the highest it will go, it was done in 4 hrs. I never used a Dehydrator before but I'm sold on this one , happy and well ,satisfied..

Fire hazard. I ordered this dehumidifier on 9/23/2023 and it was delivered a couple days later, so this machine is about two days and one week old. It has operated decently in that time, though it is extremely hard to clean. However, the heating element caught fire this morning. We were about to walk out the door for the day when we noticed a burning smell, turned around and saw first smoke, and then full flames. Luckily, my husband was able to put it out before the cabinet it was near caught fire. So, yeah, I do not recommend this product if you like having a home to come home to after work, rather than a pile of charred ruble.

My daughter loves home made jerky! So far all I've made in it is jerky! I hope to soon hydrate some potatoes and carrots, and much more. Very easy to use and clean. I put the trays in my dishwasher and wipe everything else down. Make sure you keep instruction book and read it. There were also some recipes in it.

It doesn't take long for it to stop working. Bought in October and making weird noises already.
