Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
The FD-61WHC Snackmaster Express All-In-One kit has a top mounted fan. Easily dries fruit, vegetables and jerky quickly and evenly. Dries food in hours not days. Comes with 5 trays and jerky gun. Unit disassembles easily and all parts are dishwasher safe except the power head. The Opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights which destroys nutritional content of food being dehydrated. The Patented fan flow radial air action forces air down the center of the unit and horizontally across each tray for fast, even-drying. No need to rotate

Content: It's winter so I haven't had the chance to use it with my garden vegetables.
But herb! They all kept their scent, their color, wonderful.
The family is also going through bags of apples, quickly dipped in oj and dried.
Favorite quick snacks for the kids (4 and 8).
Highly recommend.
Summary: Wow

Content: This is our first dehydrator and it meets our expectations. Have dried several fruits and herbs and made jerky. EVERYTHING turned out excellent. The machine is quiet and easy to manage. Also, it's a zip to clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. Overall we are well pleased and would readily recommend it. Since we didn't know anything about a dehydrator, we didn't want to choose something top of the line or bottom of the line. This seemed to fit about in the middle.
Summary: Great Machine!

Content: Works great. Quiet operation. This unit comes with five trays, so it handles a good amount at a time. I bought this to help with the 'end of the year' harvest from the garden. Dried chili peppers quickly and handled large batches - So much easier than freezing them. It is easy to clean. The only downside is that we've turned into jerky addicts. Every time I put it away, it ends up back in use within a few days.
Summary: Good product, good value

Content: I bought this for my wife to dehydrate fruits for the kids. I bought the version with the jerky maker kit because I thought it might be cool.
I tried the jerky with the seasoning kit they include and the "caulk gun" like dispenser and it was fantastic.
There are plenty of jerky spice makers out there that are cheaper than Nesco but I havent tried them yet.
I has tried one that was not heated before buying this and in Texas it is worthless! Heat is the way to go to get quick results.
Summary: Great dehydrator!

Content: I got this from Santa last Xmas. What a nice appliance. I have used a couple of other dehydrators, and this one is the best one. Tho it doesn't say so in the description, mine came w/2 roll-up trays, and 2 clean a screen liners.
I have used mine to dry garlic for garlic powder. I use a Kyocera Adjustable Mandolin Slicer to slice the cloves thinly for drying. I have also dried hot peppers. I can't wait t try other stuff!
Pros:
-Top-mounted power unit keeps it free of goop, seeds etc.
-Adjustable temperature.
-Fan circulated heat for even drying without rotating trays.
-Fairly quiet, tho you'll know it's running.
-Easy cleanup. This is where the top-mount power unit design shines. The bottom where all the goop drips goes right into the sink with the trays.
-Clear instructions.
Cons:
-Only one: No power switch. Plug in for on, unplug for off.
The instructions say top-rack dishwasher safe, but they are too big for my dishwasher. Not to worry, tho, because they clean up easily in soapy water. To dry, shake off the excess water, assemble the unit, and turn it on on high for a few minutes.
If you are looking for a dehydrator, this one should be on your short list!
Summary: Great Little Dehydrator
