This machine works very well - thus far I have dried fruits, veggies, and herbs. If I place the food in at night before bed it is done by midmorning (unless the item is thick obviously). The only drawbacks are the lack of an off switch and timer - minor but a little annoying. It seems to dry food evenly throughout the racks with the top being dried at the same time as the bottom. It's not noisy. I would buy the Nesco 700 again.

This dehydrator does all that the other reviews claim.
It is definitely worth the money.

I LOVE this dehydrator! My dehydrator went into overtime at Christmas when I used it to make Beef Jerky, and Dog Treats for my family and friends! This machine gets the job done qickly. Some of the great features of this are:

1 - do not have to rotate trays
2 - has adjustable tempature dial
3 - dries quickly w/ no buring
4 - durable trays
5 - small footprint
6 - able to locate accessories easily
7 - material, the dehydrator does not yellow like some other makers

NESCO to me means quality and wouldn't expect anything less from this company! This is an excellent price, just make sure you get all your accessories at the same time because you will need them once you get going!

This is my first dehydrator, and I find it simple to use. It seems to dry food quicker than the times listed in the product manual and recipe book. It is very easy to clean, just soak the trays in soapy water and they come out clean. I would suggest buying more trays. I ended needing more than what came with it.

A correction - I once owned the FD-50 version of this dehydrator. It sadly got washed away in a flood.

For all of you who want a timer: Go to the hardware store and buy an outlet timer. This is what I did with the FD50 and it worked great.

I was so surprised at how well this dehydrator works
expected it to work okay but not this good!
I put 5 pounds of beef to dry, expecting it to take at least a day.
5 hours later and it was done!
This was thicker sliced than the paper thin I usually do
on top of that!
I love that the heater and fan are on the top
that makes clean up after jerky
a breeze.
My sister just bought one too and is very happy she did.
We both contemplated on buying the Excalibur one but
this by far is a better deal for your money.
I have had it a week now and have used it almost every day.
With the excellent quality of this dehydrator I expect to get
many , many years of use out of it

I have to say I am impressed with this machine. I made the mistake of buying a Ronco dehydrator and threw it out after 2 uses. I just got done making 10lbs of beef jerky and I have to say it came out delicious. Only took about 4 hours to actually dehydrate! The only negatives I see with this machine is A. No Timer. It would be nice to have it shut off automatically. And B. While the fan does evenly distribute the air to all 5 trays, It doesnt distribute it evenly along the trays. Another words, the jerky that is closest to the outer part of the trays will dry faster than the jerky closer to the middle.Therefore you have to check the jerky and after awhile, you have to take the jerky thats done out and move the jerky from the middle and move them to the edges. Slight pain, but worth it. Therefore the 4 stars.

I use this product, mainly for drying mushrooms. Tough to beat. Works well. Follow the directions, and you can't go wrong. Makes food science all that more fun. Dehydrating seems to concentrate flavors.

I had been researching dehydrators for months and finally decided on this one. I am happy I did. I have dried veggies, fruits, made jerky and fruit leathers so far. It is easy to use, has great recipes and works well. It is nice to be able to give the kids snacks that are not full of sugars and things no one can pronounce. I only wish it had a timer. I will probably use a regular timer and plug it into that.

Pros: *fan not in bottom of unit - allows for more uniform drying
*temperature control
*size - fits nicely on a kitchen counter
*availability of accessories
*ease of use

Cons: *no timer
*no on/off switch - you have to unplug the unit to turn it off

This works great! just like advertised. It is much quicker than the others, nothing bad to say, it does what it is made for!!!!

Very impressed with this unit. Don't waste your money on a lower cost dehydrator that lacks a fan or variable temperature. I have made about 6 batches of jerky and each has turned out great.

Pros:
Can expand the number of trays
Temperature selection
Fan to circulate air

Cons:
No timer - this is a serious bummer
Trays aren't totally dishwasher safe - heat will warp the plastic.

This is one of those items that does exactly what it says it's going to do and does it without a fuss. It's simple to use (even I haven't screwed up anything with it yet) and works extremely well. So far I've used it to make both beef and venison jerky and both have been delicious. This is a fairly large appliance and if you are counter space challenged you won't want to leave it out all the time. But it works so well and the things that come out of it are so yummy you won't want to put it away. The outside cleans up easily and the drying trays themselves require a little more effort. The mesh design of the drying trays (think air circulation) gives a lot of surface area for things to stick to so they just require a little more work. Be warned, when you use this your home will be filled with the delicious aroma of whatever you are making. Be prepared for salivating dogs that are unwilling to leave the kitchen and fantastic dehydrated food.

My kids have a restless reaction to foods that contain red dye 40. My wife and I limit their exposure when we can. An example is a particular fruit snack that did not contain this dye. Recently, they changed their ingredients and so we are left with no options on the snack isle. We figured we could entertain their cravings by making homemade fruit leathers. The ability to make jerky was a bonus for me. I ordered another brand that I thought was going to do the job, but once it arrived I found the construction to be subpar and it was passive, requiring rotation of the trays. I immediately sent it back to Amazon. Thats when I ordered this Nesco unit. It is powerful, and effective. I have used it a number of times and made some really good jerky and fruit leathers. I have tried a couple of the seasonings and absolutely love them. Order this and you can't go wrong.

My wife wanted this model of dehydrator because of the temperature control feature (most dehydrators don't have it) and it turns out that's a pretty important thing to have. We're still experimenting with temperatures/times for different foods but there is definitely a fine line between too hot and just hot enough.
Would be five stars for this model if it had a timer built in too (the other important factor in drying being time).

I have never used any other dehydrator's and found this very simple to use, clean, store, and the price was great. Plus it makes my house smell great when I'm using it. So far I have only dehydrated fruits and vegetables and still have to get used to how long to leave things in the machine and how to prep them however, the instructions really makes it very easy and overall I'm finding it enjoyable to use.

I bought this item as a means to deal with the overabundance of produce coming out of my garden!!! I have dried tomatoes, apples, apricots, peppers, and made a ton of venison jerky using this machine. I also purchased the extra "layers" enabling me to be more efficient and do even more drying in the same amount of time. The tomatoes came out EXACTLY like the package of sun-dried tomatoes that you would buy in the store! They were such a hit (and I dried so many) that I even sold them to a local cafe. Everything I have dried has come out amazing. I bought the fruit leather screen and the jerky screen and both came out beautiful. There are two drawbacks to this dehydrator: 1) is that it is pretty noisy and 2) there is no "auto off" feature. The machine stays on as long as it is plugged in, so you do have to come back and check the food every hour or so to make sure everything's going okay. But all in all, it's a great product, I have yet to have a problem with it.

This dehydrator is far above and beyond the Ronco dehydrator without the fan. Food is done quickly and thoroughly. I have done apple chips, bananas, and jerky so far and I am thrilled with the results. Works great every time.
