Cooks Professional Food Dehydrator 240W with 5 Trays, Adjustable Temperature Control & Timer | Fruit Meat Jerky Vegetables Healthy Snack Drying Machine for Home Kitchen Countertop | 5 Tier

So far it's a great home use dehydrator. It's great for drying fruit, flowers/leaves for teas and making biltong. So far it's proving to be great value for money, it very easy to use with adjustable temperature and timings. Just a bit fiddley to clean. Great purchase and would recommend for a first dehydrator:)

We got this to make our own dog treats as they seem to be so expensive, it does a brilliant job and our dog loved the results. We’ve had a play and are now drying fruit which is delicious - the only drawback is that the dog loves them to. The dehydrator is simple to use, the instructions aren’t great but don’t let that put you off - a bit of trial and error gets you there. If you find that the stuff isn’t dry enough then just leave it there and add another hour or so - I suggest that you just note times and temperatures so that you know for the next time. The trays are pretty easy to clean, nothing shows that they are dishwasher safe so we just soak them and use a sponge……no problem. We’re planning on drying fruit and having that about the house this Christmas, instead of chocolates……I’m happy yo recommend this dehydrator - I’ve already told friends about it..5*

I purchased this dehydrator to make doggie treats at home. Item packed and arrived well and the user manual is simple to read. The manual said it's better to pre-cook the meat before dehydrating, so I followed the recommendation. I boiled the chicken fillets until they are cooked about 95%, then sliced them in good tickness. Placed them(used three tray for big 4 fillets) and set 70° for 8 hours. Because the meat were precooked, they started to dehydrate much quicker. 3 hours in now, they are soft inside but crispy outside - just right for what I was hoping to get as my elderly doggies don't have many teeth left so they don't like chew hard stuff. I swapped the trays every hour so that the strips are evenly cooked. I will leave one more hour and then they should be ready.(total 4 hours). By the way, doggies love it. My dog is waiting patiently next to it. 😂🙂 Hope my review helps for the future buyers.

This is the second time I've bought this and I'm so thankful for it. It always works well and gives me the result I need. The controls are super easy. Sometimes it takes a little time to clean it but that's not a big problem.

Teenage sport performance son has been getting sports nutrition advice on high protein sources and was asking for beef jerky, but the good stuff is so expensive. Then someone told me about how he makes his in a dehydrator which led me to buy this - and I'm so glad I did! It's easy to use and simple to clean, it does make a noise, but we keep it in the utility room, so it's not an issue. Since getting it about 10 days ago I've made two lots of beef jerky - the first batch lasted 24 hours before being all eaten! I've also done turkey jerky, chicken leathers for the dogs and several bananas have been made into chips. (The bananas are something of trial and error and take a lot longer than expected, but that's nothing to do with this gizmo.) The beef jerky is great made in this and I can get 8-9 portions equal to commercial packs from one beef skirt and you can adapt the seasoning to suit individual tastes. The last batch I did 2 trays of BBQ and 2 of hot Caribbean. I just put them into little snack bags and my son can just grab one when he wants. Same with the bananas, bagged up in portion sizes for him to take to training for energy etc. Plan to use on apples and also to make beetroot and sweet potato crisps.

Bought the 9 tray - used it one time as it’s useless. Door has the weakest magnet so it just falls off mid use. Not worth the money very disappointed

Brilliant for doing chillies although trial and error with times, also did pineapple and potatoes, not sure why but thought it would be a novel. The potatoes are still sat on my windowsill on account thet are totally inedible so not like walkers after all and successfully found a way not to replicate but the pineapple came out perfect and the chillies perfect for grinding into a toxic gas of chillies powder. Only down side is the chillies dust escapes when grinding creating a tear gas filled kitchen so use a mask to protect yourself when using

This is a lovely little unit that sits very well in my kitchen. It works really well and is so easy to use and clean. Would highly recommend
