Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have only used my stainless steel dehydrator 2x to dehydrate my favorite year round snack, dried strawberries. This replaced an older plastic round dehydrator. That one took 6 hrs to dry my berries, The new Cosori took just under 3 hrs! I love the fact that it is stainless steel, has stainless trays, not plastic. I took a class on dehydrating foods. The instructor stated that square machines were better to use than round. Of course getting rid of plastics was good too! I read thru all the reviews of a variety of dehydrators on the market & selected the Cosori based on other comments. It concerns me somewhat that some reviewers state that this machine gives out after just a few rounds of dehydrating. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will have this machine for many years of good use, as was with my old plastic one. At least the metal trays won't break apart.
