Cercker Food-Dehydrator Machine 8 Stainless Steel Trays, 500W Jerky Dehydrator for Meat, 190ºF Mushroom Dryer, 24H Timer Fruits Dryer for Herbs, Veggies, Yogurt & Dog Treats

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round. For today, I have witnessed a miracle in kitchen technology that has singlehandedly transformed my life, my pantry, and my ability to snack without guilt. The stainless steel food dehydrator. A machine so perfect, so wonderfully efficient, that I’m considering starting a support group for people who’ve just realized they, too, need one. Let me begin with the exterior. Stainless steel. I’m not saying it’s better than every other material on Earth, but if the moon was made of stainless steel, I’d be packing my bags to colonize it. This dehydrator gleams like the promise of a perfect, crisp apple chip and honestly, I think it makes me look cooler when I use it. It’s like I’m the Gordon Ramsay of drying fruit, except with zero culinary skill. The sleek design complements any kitchen décor, and by "complement," I mean it dominates the space, subtly telling everyone that you are not just dehydrating food , you are dehydrating it with style. But here’s where things get truly mind-blowing: it works. I know, shocking, right? You'd think a machine this flawless couldn’t possibly live up to its reputation. But, oh my friends, it does. It dries food so evenly and efficiently that even the pickiest of fruits and vegetables have no choice but to submit. I’ve tried everything! Apples, bananas, mangoes, even the most stubborn blueberries and every single one of them emerged perfectly dehydrated, as though they’d just taken a little vacation to the desert. The temperature controls are intuitive, and the timer? Well, let’s just say I’m setting it up to dry things while I’m asleep, and waking up to a kitchen that smells like a farmer’s market except better, because it’s all snackable. I’ve had so much fun experimenting with this machine, I’m considering using it to dehydrate my problems. “Oh, a stressful day? No worries, I’ll just set that anxiety on ‘low heat’ for six hours.” It’s that good. If you think a dehydrator is just a gadget for kale chips and jerky, you are sorely mistaken. This is a gateway to a world where food never goes bad, where fruits and veggies are preserved in their ultimate form and let’s not forget, where snacks are so deliciously healthy, you’ll be tempted to dry EVERYTHING. Yes, even the leftover pizza (don’t judge me). In short, I cannot recommend this stainless steel food dehydrator highly enough. It’s the culinary equivalent of finding a $100 bill in your coat pocket or discovering that your favorite show has been renewed for ten more seasons. It’s life-changing, and frankly, if you’re not already buying one, I’m not sure what you’re doing with your life. Get one, thank me later, and prepare for the most delightful, crispy, dehydrated future imaginable. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a batch of problems to dehydrate away.

I have purchased the most popular brands of hydrators through the years and this is the BEST CHOICE in terms of 1. ease of use, visibility of controls 2 adequate lighting, you don't have to take it apart to view how well your food is dehydrating (very important time saver) 3. Fair Price for the overall quality 4. Two Fans 5. Not too heavy to transport 6. The grid metal inserts have small enough squares that you can use smaller pieces of food without using plastic inserts 7. your food is dehydrated "safer" with the stainless shelves that air out well because they have an open system rather than using the plastic ones (most popular brands offer in which the smell and chemicals can leach in your food!) 8. Non annoying alarm goes off once when done. 9. Easy cleanup, stick the shelves in the Micro Wave 10. Very Quiet

I took several photos because I want to write a review on this product. Mistakenly I didn’t checked the size of the machine before I purchased. This machine is pretty big and tall so it doesn’t fit on my counter top because not enough of space between wall cabinet and counter top so I had to put in the storage room which’s disappointing because I’m using dehydrator alot. But the quality is so good I don’t want to return it. I love the quality of machine. 1) alot of space. 2) air blow from the back (top and bottom 2 fans) so equally supply the airflow. 3) They come with alot of racks and it’s strong stainless made so it will less long time and dishwasher safe. 4) it also comes with bottom tray so I don’t have to worry about machine gets dirty and it’s easy to clean. 5) Temperature control is very good function and works great and what I love the most it has a automatic timer so I can set up the time and leave the house. 6) design and quality is excellent. It’s like commercial grade stainless machine. 7) I made chicken breast jerky for my dogs and it came out really nice. 8) Surprisingly this machine is extremely quite compared to my old plastic one. 9) I been using plastic made dehydrator for a long time but all the rack was broken because I put them in the dishwasher’s. This machine is made with stainless so I don’t have to worry about breaking from dishwasher. 10) I love the light switch so I can check my food easily. This machine deserves the 10 stars. It’s a good investment. It will less long time. Make sure to check the sizes before you purchase because this machine is big. Other then that, I strongly recommended.

Some reviews stated there was no light switch - it's on the backside of the unit. Some stated that it won't shut off until the time is up - the unit will shut off after a cool down delay like so many heater devices. I've had other dehydrators in the past and this one performs perfectly with minimal noise. The dual fans do an excellent job of moving air through the unit creating rapid drying times. I have had great success using parchment paper instead of silicone liners. Allows better drying and easier clean up.

This is my first dehydrator. I bought it because I found decent reviews of it on yo*tube, and because it is NOT plastic. I bought this unit 9 weeks ago, and have used it nearly daily since. I have dehyrated over 8 gallons of veggies, fruits, and meats in that time. I wish it had a meter to tell the user how many cumulative hours it has operated. I'm guessing it has over 800 hours of use. It is well made, and easy to clean. Setting the time and temperature is a snap. The metal shelves clean easily with a short soaking in warm water, including fruit residue that likes to stick. And of course it dehydrates anything placed in it eventually. The 'eventually' is the kicker. This unit does not heat evenly at all, and maybe none of them do. It heats unevenly top to bottom AND front to back. I have found the need to move the upper three shelves to the bottom, and the bottom three up, every three hours. And if you want to dehydrate overnight, that becomes a real pain. I also rotate the shelves front to back every three hours. All that does not quite do the trick, because some food that is supposed to be brittle is still leathery. So I need to inspect each piece of food and hold out the ones that are not dry. I find about 10 percent of what I'm dehydrating needs an extra 2 to 3 hours (say for carrot 'coins' that have already dehydrated 14 to 15 hours). And just maybe that is the standard for the industry for non-commercial dehydrators. But, I just wonder if a larger unit, with a larger heat element and two fans, would dehydrate more evenly. One other irritant about the machine. It was very quiet initially. Then I noticed a small noise increase at about 200 hours of use, and it appeared the fan shaft had a very slight wobble. Now it has developed a slight vibration, and is about three times noisier than when purchased. It won't wake the baby by any means, but now I hear it even when the refrigerator is running. And I think 'plastic might not vibrate'. Would I buy it again? Yes, unless I could invest $350 in a larger unit. It does what I bought it for. In a year of dehydrating I expect to have food for 2 for 2 years, fully dried, sealed in plastic, then stored in buckets with nitrogen in them, good for at least 5 years of storage. My guess is this unit will help me achieve that for significantly less money than buying freeze-dried food in foil.

All you have to do is put the door handle on and it comes with the screwdriver incase you don’t have one. It works well, quiet, easy to use, lots of space, not too heavy, the door stays where you put it and doesn’t close on you, timer alarm is loud which I’m glad for. I have used for green onions and garlic mostly. It’s my favorite dehydrator I’ve used. Size comparison to a standard kitchen aid mixer.

Love this machine. So far I have dehydrated tomatoes and mushrooms. It worked perfectly.

It’s huge. I normally keep it in a closet when I’m not using it when I am not using it because it does take up a lot of space. It doesn’t get so hot on the outside that I’m worried about touching it and burning myself or damaging my counters. It isn’t loud but does make a little sound. I often forget I have it on. My house is filled with big jerky eaters. I dehydrated 6-9 lbs a week. We like it very dry, thin and simple with just salt. I don’t follow the directions in the book for jerky. I turn it all the way up and dehydrate it for much longer than directed to get crisp almost chip like jerky. It doesn’t take 8-9 hours like my 5 tray dehydrator I got from Walmart. I can easily dehydrate meat in 3 hours. I’ve had it for a couple of months and have used it a lot! The machine works great. It’s easy to use. And is easy to clean. When I received it, I washed it, then turned it on high for a couple of hours to get rid of the smell that I read about but didn’t experience. I love it. I hope it works a long time!
