I wish it came with recipes. This has 1 speed/temperature. Great for beginners.

Works great.but keep in mind there is no temperature gauge

I recently got introduced to sweet potato sticks. They are a great natural snack. Not knowing anything about how to make them myself i sought an easy way to make these myself. This machine was mas my ticket to do just that. I've made three batches and must say I'm almost there. Here is a simply way with this machine. Get 3 or 4 sweet potatoes. peel them. I use a vegetable screen to keep them off the bottom of a pot which I use to steam them until a fork penetrates the potato easily. about 40 minutes. Let them cool. Cut into wedges. I then put them in the Dehydrator on about 4 of the 5 trays provided. I dehydrate for 10 hours. remove them and keep in a covered dish as a snack. 12 hours made them two crisp, 6 hours kept them a bit too moist. 10 hours seems to be almost there. I do this at night with a simple timer that I plug the unit into so I don't have to watch it. Hope this helps, enjoy!

Per the manufacturer instructions…still after two complete cycles following a brief cool down cycle after 20 hours of use- my apples were still spongy and useless. Returning item.

Very simple and easy to use. However small items simply fall through. It's hard to dehydrate items like peas, diced carrots, sliced garlic. It still work but you'll simply need to organize these items in the smaller inner rink. Had no issue dehydrating orange slices and bigger slices of fruit.

Easiest dehydrator I ever owned. Unpack it, wash the trays, plug it in and push the button. I love that it has adjustable heights between the tray. It is also smaller in size and that makes it easier for counter space. The multiple stacking trays makes up for it's smaller size. I love it.

I've had the dehydrator for a couple weeks now. I've used it for everything except for meat and it works great. I imagine it is going to work great for jerky.

For the price, this is a really cool thing. I especially like making meat chips in it. The fan inside is loud, but I'm thinking of taking it apart and adding a WD-40 to solve this problem.
