This review is from: Excalibur 3500 Food Dehydrator - 5 Tray - Black - Food Dryer Kitchen Appliance - Food Storage & More

This machine is the simplest when it comes to storage, use, and clean-up. It fits easily on my pantry shelf (sideways), though I have to say, I use it more than store it. I highly recommend buying the model with an automatic timer -- this way, you can turn it on and walk away.

The shelves are easy to load, insert, and eventually clean. The unit is quiet and uses very little electricity.

I was brand-new to dehydrating when I purchased the Excalibur. Now, I am a full-time convert!

This review is from: Excalibur 3500 Food Dehydrator - 5 Tray - Black - Food Dryer Kitchen Appliance - Food Storage & More

This excalibur 3900 after a year of operation cracked on the bottom and large pieces of plastic keep falling off. Pretty soon there will be no bottom left. i am into raw food, so the dehydrator never is set above a temperature of 114 degrees (third yellow on the dial). I am not happy since the guarantee only covers the electrical for 10 years. i hope the company will do something about this.

This review is from: Excalibur 3500 Food Dehydrator - 5 Tray - Black - Food Dryer Kitchen Appliance - Food Storage & More

This, simply put, is the best dehydrator i have ever owned. it's fast, dries evenly, has temp control, is easy to clean, and with just 5 trays holds double what my last dehydrator did. i love the fact that the fan is in the back instead of below the trays. i love the fact that the trays SLIDE easily in and out instead of stacking on top of each other. i use it almost entirely for jerky, and it has earned every penny i spent on it. i read a bunch of reviews before buying, and it seems people complain about the size and the sound. well, if this machine takes up too much room in your kitchen, a)you didnt plan ahead for owning a dehydrator and b) find somewhere else to put it. i live in a tiny(and i mean tiny) house with a roommate and i found space for it. if you are worried about the noise level, you shouldn't be. it's a dehydrator, it makes a noise, no different than any other dehydrator. if you don't know what that means, it's a fan in a box making a low hum that after 5 min you forget about... absolutely nothing that should change your mind about buying this beautiful piece of equipment. im completely enamored with this machine, and when it decides it wants to quit, i will be buying another excalibur no questions asked. (after an appropriate burial, of course)
