Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Drying apple slices in just three hours and beef jerky in four, this 1000-watt dehydrator is exceptionally fast, using a big, 4-1/2-inch fan to force air up through the drying trays' outer rings and across each tray. A thermostat adjusts from 95 degrees to 155 degrees for drying different items. Each of the four plastic trays is 13-3/4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch deep—that's four square feet for drying fruits, vegetables, herbs, or flowers at one time. Additional trays can be ordered separately, and up to 30 trays can be stacked on this unit's metal base at once. A fruit-roll sheet inserts into a tray so that applesauce or other fruit sauces can be dried into healthful snacks, and soups and sauces can be dehydrated for camping trips. Beef-jerky spices and a detailed 64-page recipe and instruction booklet are included. The dehydrator measures 15-1/2 inches in diameter and 10 inches high, cleans easily, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Our "Top of the Line" unit! More powerful and larger than any other. Expands to a giant 30 trays so you can dry large quantities all at once! 1000 watts of drying power means you can dry more, faster. Patented Converga-Flow fan forces heated air up the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even and nutritious drying. No flavor mixing! No need for tray rotation. A quiet, 2,400-RPM motor and specially designed 4.5-in. fan mean faster, more nutritious drying. Four times faster than dryers which have no fan or motors. Because different foods need different temperature settings, the adjustable 95-155 degree F thermostat gives you the flexibility to get the best results. The opaque Vita-Save exterior blocks light to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. Accessories Include:No-Spill Fruit Roll Sheet: Perfect for drying semi-liquids and has exclusive "no spill" lipsClean-A-Screen: Flexible screen, allows easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices, and potpourriJerky Spice Packet and Cure: Make your own jerky at home!Features Include:1000 watts of drying power! Patented Converga-FlowAdjustable Temperature ControlIncludes 52-page recipe and instruction book, 1 solid sheet, 1 mesh sheet, and 1 packet jerky spice to make great tasting beef jerky or venison jerky4.5" Fan,

5.0 out of 5 stars A REQUESTED AND MUCH LOVED CHRISTMAS GIFT, December 15, 2004
By KAREN K. "MamaBear" (MEDINA, OHIO USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator (Kitchen)
The children and I purchased this item for Dad for Christmas. One thing we did not plan for was Dad being home when the UPS truck arrived. Since it was delivered in its original box (and we knew this could happen) he of course could not wait until Christmas. Since I have not read the manual or used the unit, I can only tell you of my observances and the enjoyable outcome.
They (my husband and son) are using this daily. They have made dried apples, pears, pineapple, peaches, and fruit roll. They all were great! My son had to put a note on the unit so we would stop "stealing before completion". My husband bought a roast, sliced it thin, and marinated it in teriaki overnight. The beef jerky was the best. I am not a beef eater ~ but I had to taste it. My son even tried canned fruit. Please note: If you do this, expect the fruit to be teeny tiny and a bit sweet. My husband orders homemade smoked bratwurst, which is supposed to hang dry for two to three weeks. He placed it in the dehydrator and it was ready to eat in 3 hours.

It takes some adjustment hearing the fan. This is not really a problem as you can relocate it to a basement or laundry room as we do. I am the only person this sometimes annoys, as I am not one for extra noise in the evening. Cleaning is also very quick and easy.

Before I bought this make and model ~ I researched websites, catalogs, asked coworkers and relatives that have the much cheaper brands from discount stores. I decided to spend the extra dollars for a system that can be added to at anytime, has a fan for better drying, and has easy cleanup. This was a wonderful Christmas gift. I highly recommend it.

It is now March 24, 2009; The guys still use and love this unit. I, on the other hand, get to wash it when they are finished. This was a great gift ~ keeps giving!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mine made me internationally famous, May 17, 2004
By Colonel Jenna (Overland Park, Kansas USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator (Kitchen)
I make beef jerky in LARGE quanities -- I run 12 trays on this machine to do 15# of beef at once, usually two batches a weekend, many times a year. The air circulation of the American Harvest line is invaluable -- I could not do without it for the speed and quality it produces. The tempature range is wider than my smaller 'Snackmaster' model, and the metal-shell base unit is better made. The indents in the base for handholds are invaluable when I have to move the unit. To clean the trays all I do is remove the top drawer in the dishwasher and pop them in.

Thanks to the superior quality control of this model, I have been able to send jerky to just about every weather and camping condition known, from the desert in winter to humid rainy warm places, and to military friends far and wide. I have been able to safely and tastily dry both thick and thin meats. I have reccomended this brand to so many people in the international history group that I work with, for so many years, that the joke is Nesco should be my sponsor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best dehydrator at the best price on the market!!, August 14, 2002
By Linda Fox (Summersville, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator (Kitchen)
This is by far the best food dehydrator I have ever used. It dries in half the time of other models -- and expands if needed to fit all my needs. From fruits and vegetables to jerky -- it works great!!! Amazon.com had the best price of anyone on the internet or in the stores -- and the service I received was exceptional. Thanks everyone -- for combining great service with a great product at a great price!!!
