Looking to buy dehydrator

[Moira Trevisan]

Hello,

 

It's another wonderful day and I am sipping on a smoothie.  Wonder if anyone can suggest a dehydrator and what make or model works best for them?  There are so many online I don't know how to pick one.

 

I will be using it for various things so not for one specific reason. 

 

Being overseas kinda sucks when the electricity is different.  i want to buy an American one in the hop that I will be moving back in less than 12 months. 

Thanks Love Moira

I just happened upon your post here, Moira. Thanks for asking as I will be purchasing one soon and I was wondering which dehydrator to go for. It looks like the nine tray is the way to go.

Thanks all for the comments.  We have U.S Transformers that change the electric from U.S to UK power.  I will be moving back stateside soon so I don't want all British stuff.  :)

Call Excalibur they will answer any question you have. Order the 9 tray with the screens and teflex shhets (you get a deal when you order everything together). Get the temp control and timer on it. You will love it. What's nice is if you want to put something in the dehydrator loike a glass dish you can take out some trays and the cover still closes. Some other models you can't do that with because the trays are part of the door or you need all the trays in to work it.

When we came to the US we couldn't swap over electronics, only taking US stuff to the UK works.  You may want to research it a little more because US/UK conversions are not as simple as European/US.  It can be done but requires a large cnversion box thatyou wouldn't really want in your kitchen.

I am using the Excalibur 5 tray.  Key points is that it should a timer, temp control  and should be square (not round).  I wish now I had bought the 9 tray but only because when I do kale - it doesn't "fit" and I can only utilize 2 trays for it.  So 9 tray is the way to go!

I third that motion! Its the best!

You will want the nine tray too, not the five tray!

I agree with Susan.

Excalibur 9 tray is the best!
