So far so good. Used once at this time

It worked as advertised.

Product works as expected. I ordered some extra trays online which makes much easier for drying larger quantities at one time. The design seems to cook it very evenly without need for turning over but not sure if it is any faster than the bottom air design that I owned previously. But would recommend.

Great product. I did not know anything about dehydration, read some reviews and a lot people were talking good things about this one. Decided to try and I don’t regret.Now I just need to get new recipes, but have already started drying bananas, apples, doing some granola. Can’t wait to do more. Just prepare everything and put in the dehydrator and let it do its job.The end product will be delicious.

This is #2, #1 fell outta my hands one cold dark day. I couldn’t wait to replace it. #1 was probably 6-7 years old so I know they last.

So far I’ve been very happy with the dehydrator and would recommend it to anyone wanting an affordable way to dry their fruits and veggies. My complaints are only two: 1) A timer would be very helpful as I seldom do these tasks during “business hours” (usually start drying around 10-12 pm, so finish time is usually when I’m asleep) 2 )I don’t think the thermostat is very accurate….takes much longer for things to dry than recommended (no biggie…I just turn the temp up and experiment with times…but a little misleading all the same).All in all, I am quite satisfied with my purchase and I would buy it again.

Love the product . I wish it had a on / off switch though . Other than not having a switch , it’s temperature settings are nice and a reliable machine . I make a lot of jerky and need something dependable. The trays are durable as well .

Pleasantly surprised by the ease of usage,and simple maintenance required combined with overwhelming satisfaction of Snackmaster’s dehydration process in drying herbs, veggies,fruits, fishes and meats.

The nesco snackmaster pro 600 watt food dehydrator works perfectly for making jerky. This is all that I have had a chance to use it for so far. it cooks so very much faster than my old nesco dehydrator. having the heating element on top is most definitely the way to go.

Does what it should do. My only observation is that it would be nice to have a timer to auto-shutoff after a specified time, but perhaps the more high end models do that?

This was a gift to my brother so I will not be able to personally use it however I have tracked his use of the machine and so far it appears to work great. One thing about my brother is he has trouble following directions you know the kind of guy that throws the instructions away before he puts something together and then wonders why it does not work or there are parts left over. That being said, with a few instructions from me and a couple links to helpful websites he is off and running and it appears that he successfully made his first batch of jerky the other day and it was perfect. I purchased this specific machine with him in mind and it is the easiest, most efficient machine i came across. It allows the user to not have to worry about rotating trays top to bottom half way through the process because the fan evenly distributes the air throughout. It has adjustable temperature settings allowing him to do jerky, fruit, etc. and not have to worry about something not being completely done which is especially important when dehydrating jerky. This machine was affordable and its reviews were top notch all over the web putting it ahead of all but the most expensive commercial machines. If there is such a thing as dummy proof I think this it and though I would not go as far as to say my brother is a dummy he is someone that needs a machine that literally does the work for him and this is it

Used the dehydrator to dry apple slices. The unit holds a lot of food and dries very nicely and evenly. I had a dehydrator of the same model and used it for over 10 years and it worked well. Expect the same durability and dependability with this unit. Easy to clean and operate.

Advertised as a 700 watt unit. Was sent a 600 watt one. Must be old stock because the Model number is correct.
