We grow the majority of our food here so harvest season is a crazy busy time. I have another brand dehydrator but really needed to up the output and opted for this Elite dehydrator. Some of the things I really like about it: the design is nice looking and would be just fine on the kitchen counter for use often. I love the see inside window so I can check on stuff without even opening the door and the dishwasher safe stainless steel racks are indeed awesome. No one wants to wash those plastic ones in the old machine. The only feature I am not crazy about is that it runs for 19.5 hours and then has an auto shut off. That means I can set it in the morning but better remember to reset before going to bed or it will stop middle of the night. So the price is much better than the fancy name brand and it has a lot of really nice features too!

I couldnt wait to open this dehydrator and make something. The same day it arrived I decided to try beef jerky and zucchini chips. I’ve never owned a dehydrator before but this thing is so simple to use. I absolutely love it. My jerky and chips came out perfect. My family loved it too. I’ll definitely be getting good use out if this super nice gadget.

Great dehydrator for anything from fruit to jerkey. I haven’t had it very long but a great improvement from other dehydrator’s I’ve used. Love the window and quality of racks. Temperature control also works great

I was looking a for a replacement for my 20 year old Ronco dehydrator and the Elite Platinum food dehydrator was exactly what I needed.Having trays that slide in and out, individually, rather than stacked is a huge selling point for me. The stainless-steel mesh trays are much easier for me to clean versus the delicate plastic I was afraid would break if I scrubbed too hard. The mesh trays go into the dishwasher leaving plenty of room for other dishes versus the thick plastic that took up so much room it needed a cycle all to itself.I use my dehydrator exclusively for jerky and it does an excellent job. I appreciate having the ability to accurately control the temperature and there is no need to rotate the trays. This is a load-and-go machine that doesn’t need monitoring like the one it replaced. The auto-shutoff feature makes it perfect to leave running while I am at work.Much quieter than I am used to. Time will tell on the quality but I hope to get many years of use.

Received this product about 4 weeks ago. Wanted to use several times before review. The dehydrator part is great. We’ve made jerky and fish bait , enjoying using this product. And it makes perfect pizza rolls and things.

The idea of dehydrating foods should not be considered an easy or fast thing to do. Will take time and serious devotion to the effort.This unit is large, with 6 trays where a good quantity of herbs, etc. can be loaded.However the controls are rather glitchy, in that you toggle between time and heat and up/down keys. I found that the time/temp switched before I could set either one, and had to repeat several times.The lower temp of 140 degrees and 5 hours used to dry herbs, according to their supplied instruction manual, did not work. Needed 4 more hours at 140 degrees, and then 2 hours at 160 degrees.I Googled several sites on dehydrating before I could get a successful test.But will endeavor to continue as these results are way cheaper / fresher than the bottled herbs.

The Elite Platinum food dehydrator has been an amazing addition to my kitchen appliance collection! I have used this dehydrator several times to make many delicious snacks such as beef jerky, dried fruits, and a few other recipes I found online. The dehydrator is very easy to use and I love the programmable features it provides. All of the foods I prepared came out delicious! The design of the food dehydrator is also very sleek and modern, and matches my other kitchen appliances very well. I’m so please with how well this appliance works and can’t wait to try out more new recipes!

I am loving this dehydrator!! Beef jerky is a favorite in my family and I make it often and I dry my own peppers for later use. This is the perfect machine for doing it. There are 6 trays for drying, a drip pan tray and a tray for fruit roll ups. The controls, temp settings and timer, are easy to use. Just a push of a button and you can raise/lower the temperature and timer. It is so quiet compared to others I have used. Clean up is a breeze. Did notice some discrepancies in the instruction manual. Says temperature is increased/ decreased by 10° . First drop is 160° to 145° then it goes in 10° increments. Also on one page it says cook beef jerky 12-36 hours. On another it says 5-6 which is way off. The 1st time is more accurate and safer.

I ordered this a couple weeks ago to update my old dehydrator. I bought this to make mainly jerky and occasionally fruit. I used it yesterday for the first time on jerky, I used ground venison with a jerky gun. I had about 4 lbs of it in it. It held it with just a little room left. I set it at 4 hrs on 158 temp and it turned out perfect. This machine cooked all the trays perfect and evenly. I’m glad I purchased it. Super quiet. Very well made with good racks. I highly recommend this machine
