Noisy but well worth the money
I recently broke the Nesco American Harvest dehydrator that I have owned for many years. I dropped it when my dog tripped me. The model that I had isn't even made anymore so I started shopping for a new one. I use my dehydrator very often for a lot of different things. I know from experience exactly what temp I want and exactly how long to dehydrate things. The thing I loved most about my old Nesco dehydrator was the digital temp and timer and that is one thing I would not forgo in a new one. They
are a bit more money but they are much more accurate. Most of the ones for sale these days don't even have a timer and the
temp control is just a cheap dial.
My new Presto 06301 arrived on time and in perfect condition. I have already used it a couple times and I love it. It works
perfectly but it is a little on the noisy side. With the digital temp control and digital timer that's not really an issue for me because
I get everything ready to go in the evening, set the temp and timer and go to bed. When I get up in the morning I know that my
jerky or whatever I'm dehydrating is going to be done perfectly and I don't have to listen to it in my sleep.
For the money this is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants precise temp and an accurate digital timer.
