5.0 out of 5 stars Aroma AFD-615 Dehydrator a "best buy", October 15, 2005

Originally bought the Aroma Dehydrator to handle an over-abundance of garden peppers, but have used it for apples, herbs, and other garden products now as well. Has operated almost non-stop this fall, and worked flawlessly. Is easy to keep clean, quiet, does a nice job. A larger dehydrator might be nice, but for the money, I'll call this a "best buy."

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great, but trays are fragile, March 28, 2007

I received one of these as a gift last year. I have made lots of beef jerky on it, with great success. However, the bottom tray got dropped and it shattered. I have contacted the company and apparently there's a shortage of bottom trays. I'm now on a waiting list for a new lower tray. I'll return here and report when this is concluded.

1.0 out of 5 stars No heat here, August 14, 2006

The dehydrator I have been using for a long time, finally gave out. I bought this as a replacement - first the directions were sparse - didn't really tell me how to use all the parts - second,what used to take me 8 to 10 hours took me 18 and could have gone longer - there wasn't enough heat to dry the jerky - even the slices of pepperoni I put on the top tray, so I can tell which tray was on top as I rotate them, dried rubbery, not crisp. Will be replacing this soon.
