Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased the dehydrator for ourselves and to create healthy treats for the dogs. So far so good! It's easy to use and there is plenty of knowledge out there to help you make great treats. Pros: - Simple to use - set the temp, set the time, place the food on the trays and go. - Relatively quiet - We've had it running for very long time periods with no noise issues. It's not silent, yet it's not annoying. - Timer is a HUGE plus - VERY much recommend spending the extra $$ to get the timer model. Cons: - unit does not come with the solid mats - must be purchased separately - if you want to make fruit leather or have items that are drippy (liver or other such things) you need the solid mats - these really should ship with the unit. - quick guide for basic dehydrating is somewhat useful - not the best by any means. We purchased a very good dehydration guide book separately - do this! Overall it's a great unit - we love the ability to keep our fruits and veg storage friendly and the taste is amazing! The pups love their dehydrated snacks! liver, chicken hearts, yams, it's easy and fun to do - the dogs see this as the 'Magic snack machine' :) Hope that helps.
