DESCRIPTION:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 This plastic dehydrator uses three basic pieces: Motor/f=
an/top; center trays; and bottom. The unit stacks very precisely for a tidy=
package on the countertop, and quickly breaks down to fit in the shipping =
carton/storage box. The motor/fan/top incorporates a generously sized flip-=
up handle. The top shows a menu of printed options for drying food, with a =
twist-knob rheostat that adjusts heat from 95F (35C) to 160F (71C). There i=
s no on-off switch--it's on when plugged in and off when not plugged in. Th=
e fan draws air in at the top, circulates it across the trays and down and =
out the bottom. The unit comes with a plastic pan for containing really wet=
stuff like bean soup; and a finer-mesh screen than the tray "web".
FIELD CONDITIONS:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Kitchen is my home's wilderness area: I only go there fo=
r backpacking. I've used the dryer on many types of vegetables, fruits and =
meats.=C2=A0 I've used the sheet to hold cut tomatos and bean stew; and the=
screen for smaller stuff like rice and blueberries. The picture shows befo=
re and after 11 1/2 hours drying three trays of cooked spaghetti squash. Th=
e food was probably thoroughly dessicated in much less time than that, but =
I slept in. Although this batch was all one kind of food, most of the time =
I fill the trays with whatever happens to be available. I don't sort clothe=
s for the washer and I don't sort food for the dryer.
IMPRESSIONS:=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 This is my second dryer so I've not much to compare it w=
ith. I like the fan on top as though heat rises, drips fall and I like them=
falling on a smooth surface that can be easily doused for cleaning. The to=
p stays clean. The trays can be difficult to clean. Most of the unit feels =
smooth and round, but the bottom side of the tray "web" is flat with sharp =
edges that like to clutch food that sinks through. The "web" spines are thi=
n and I don't feel like they will tolerate much scrubbing by an A-type pers=
on. I have not put the trays in the dishwasher as the box makes no mention =
of it and I'm afraid they'd melt. There may be reference to that in the dir=
ections.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I'm very satisfied with the dryer. I wonder if all the p=
lastic in the heat of drying can outgas or mingle nasty chemicals. I drive =
to the trailhead and that's pretty dangerous; and lugging extra pounds is n=
o good for my health either. So most of the time I don't think about it. I =
don't find any kind of chemical taste in the food. I've even dried stuff li=
ke onions and apple at the same time and I don't notice cross-flavor. The u=
nit claims that the patented converga-flow system prevents cross-flavor.=C2=
=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I find the result of drying substantially reduces weight=
and bulk while increasing shelf life. I like my own stuff better than free=
ze-dried. Some is outrageously good, like banana (perhaps the worst culprit=
in the hard-to-clean category) and pineapple; and some not, like avacado. =
High-fat meats don't dry well. Some things probably would reconstitute bett=
er with a few minutes of boiling, but I stick to stuff that gets good enoug=
h soaking in hot water for maybe ten minutes or so. None of these comments =
relate specifically to the product at hand, but seem appropriate to the pro=
cess of helping decide whether to buy any dehydrator.
Quick shots:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 a) compact
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 b) easy to use
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 c) not expensive=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 d) flimsy trays

The unit stacks very precisely for a tidy package on the countertop, and quickly breaks down to fit in the shipping carton/storage box. The motor/fan
/top incorporates a generously sized flip-up handle. The top shows a menu of printed options for drying food, with a twist-knob rheostat that adjusts heat from 95F (35C) to 160F (71C). There is no on-off switch--it's on when plugged in and off when not plugged in. The fan draws air in at the top, circulates it across the trays and down and out the bottom. The unit comes with a plastic pan for containing really wet stuff like bean soup; and a finer-mesh screen than the tray "web".</span><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3341"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3342"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3346">FIELD CONDITIONS:</span><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3347"><span style="font-size: medium;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3
348"> Kitchen is my home's wilderness area: I only go there for backpacking. I've used the dryer on many types of vegetables, fruits and meats. I've used the sheet to hold cut tomatos and bean stew; and the screen for smaller stuff like rice and blueberries. The picture shows before and after 11 1/2 hours drying three trays of cooked spaghetti squash. The food was probably thoroughly dessicated in much less time than that, but I slept in. Although this batch was all one kind of food, most of the time I fill the trays with whatever happens to be available. I don't sort clothes for the washer and I don't sort food for the dryer.</span><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3349"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3350"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_

I like the fan on top as though heat rises, drips fall and I like them falling on a smooth surface that can be easily doused for cleaning. The top stays clean. The trays can be difficult to clean. Most of the unit feels smooth and round, but the bottom side of the tray "web" is flat with sharp edges that like to clutch food that sinks through. The "web" spines are thin and I don't feel like they will tolerate much scrubbing by an A-type person. I have not put the trays in the dishwasher as the box makes no mention of it and I'm afra
id they'd melt. There may be reference to that in the directions.</span><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3354"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3355"><span style="font-size: medium;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3356"> I'm very satisfied with the dryer. I wonder if all the plastic in the heat of drying can outgas or mingle nasty chemicals. I drive to the trailhead and that's pretty dangerous; and lugging extra pounds is no good for my health either. So most of the time I don't think about it. I don't find any kind of chemical taste in the food. I've even dried stuff like onions and apple at the same time and I don't notice cross-flavor. The unit claims that the patented converga-flow system prevents cross-flavor. </span><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_
1_1485315969514_3357"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3358"><span style="font-size: medium;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485315969514_3359"> I find the result of drying substantially reduces weight and bulk while increasing shelf life. I like my own stuff better than freeze-dried. Some is outrageously good, like banana (perhaps the worst culprit in the hard-to-clean category) and pineapple; and some not, like avacado. High-fat meats don't dry well. Some things probably would reconstitute better with a few minutes of boiling, but I stick to stuff that gets good enough soaking in hot water for maybe ten minutes or so. None of these comments relate specifically to the product at hand, but seem appropriate to the process of helping decide whether to buy any dehydrator.</
