Presto 06301 Dehydro Digital Electric Food Dehydrator

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
Great dehydrator for the money! This is a good quality product. You can spend a lot more for a dehydrator but probably not get much more in functionality and overall value. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It has a small footprint and will not take up much precious horizontal kitchen surfaces (counter-top area). Controls are user-friendly and not many competitors in this price-range have a digital display/timer. I wont say its whisper quiet but the fan isn’t really loud either. I also like how the trays nest when you are not using it. As for performance it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Dried apple slices are delicious and healthy for you so, if you are considering a dehydrator do not be afraid to try the Prestro Dehydro. And get some extra trays also if you plan on consuming mass quantities!
Great in this price range We have 2 dogs that are crazy about dried chicken (overdone chicken jerky). We used to buy it at the store in the big bags until about a year ago when they recalled all of it because it was coming from China and had bad things in it that was killing dogs. It was also not cheap – about $20 for a one pound bag. Well I didn’t want to deprive my dogs of their favorite treat, so I decided that I would start making my own. I shopped everywhere for a dehydrator and read tons of reviews. After weighing all the options and looking at what features you can get at what price ranges, I decided on this one. I am really glad I did. To have the adjustable temperature AND timer is wonderful. After a couple of batches of dried chicken I have figured out the exact time and temp to get it done, and now I can get it going and forget about it. Sliced up I can get about 3 pounds of chicken in it and that makes the equivalent to about 2 of the large bags I used to buy. The trays are also nice. I just put…
