Amazon.com Review
Using a computer-controlled sensor to check the temperature 60 times per second, this dehydrator creates a stable drying environment for food, flowers, and herbs. It generates 550 watts of power and comes with six stacking trays--a total of 12 square feet of drying space. The dehydrator's thermostat adjusts from 93 degrees F up to 150 degrees F, offering the flexibility needed to dry meat, seafood, poultry, fruits, vegetables, jerky, granola, and even potpourri and sachet (great for gifts). Instructions and drying times for all these items and recipes employing dried foods are contained in a booklet accompanying the dehydrator. The device is made of plastic and measures 10-1/2 inches high when all six of the 17-by-11-inch trays are stacked and the cover is in place. Trays need to be hand washed and the base wiped clean. The dehydrator carries a 12-year warranty against defects. (You can purchase fruit leather sheets and a jerky kit separately.) --Fred Brack

I have been dehydrating food for years and have been disappointed with the quality of the less expensive products (the trays melt and deform with time etc). Not wanting to keep filling landfills, I decided to invest in a product with a decent warranty...the L'equip Dehydrator has a 12 year warranty. It is fabulous! The tempature control feature is nice. And, probably most amazingly, when I had a question, I called customer service, got a REAL person who knew what they were talking about!
Highly recommend this product. (You can purchase additional trays etc from other retailers/etailers..)

A great product! This product has a lot going for it - starting with a real instruction book, expansion and solid construction. The trays are firm and each is outfitted with a removable fine mesh, so those smaller items don't fall through. The motor is reaonsably quiet and it does a fine job drying food without cooking the food. One thing to consider about this rectangular unit instead of a round unit - it fits nicely on a shelf and doesn't consume so much room when not in use.

I did my research on food dehydrators and the L'Equip was recommended above all. I like the rectangular shape that makes it easy to sit on your counter top without looking bulky and taking up much needed space. It is about the size of a small microwave. It is nice and quiet, comes with the fruit trays and the mesh sheets for the six trays so you do not have to buy a lot of "extras" like you do with the American Harvest brand. I considered buying their model but after you add on all of the mesh sheets and fruit leather trays plus 2 extra stacking trays to equal what this unit offers it is really not any less expensive. I did not like the way it was round and would take up a lot more space. The L' Equip motor and fan is on the bottom but it is covered so nothing will fall into it. I have dried apples,pineapple,coconut and bananas on it so far and it takes anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. They turned out great. I plan on using this often to make healthy sulfite free snacks and ingredients for my baking. It also has a 12 year warranty which is really important. I highly recommend this dehydrator for anyone who wants a quality built product at an affordable price.
***Also for those arguing about the dimensions, if you are not happy with the square feet of drying area provided DON'T BUY IT!
very simple. I have had this for 8 months now and there is plenty of space for drying many fruits and vegetables.
It really is not worth arguing over.
I am very suspicios of people who are coming on Amazon and only reviewing this one product-it could be a competitor trying to bash the product so people are afraid to buy it....I have seen this with several items I have purchased, many false claims and then you click on their name and it is the ONLY thing reviewed so I really do not use their review to influence my decision. Look for reviews that contain many purchased items, that seem legitimate.
