Commercial Chef Food Dehydrator, Five 9.25” BPA-Free Plastic Trays, Dehydrates and Dries Meat, Fruit, Veggies and Jerky, 280W Dehydration Machine, Adjustable Thermostat, CCD100W6, White

I bought this dehydrator because I wanted to make some beef jerky and dried fruit. It works amazing! The sound is not too loud. You can definitely hear it, but It’s just a slight blowing sound. You have to rotate the trays halfway through and be sure not to cover all the holes. But overall super easy to use and clean. I highly recommend it.

I used this to dehydrate mushrooms overnight and it worked perfectly, its heating range is right where you need it. Bigger shrooms can be broken down to fit inside the racks. It is easy to setup and easy to wipe clean. I added some silicone dryer sheets cut down in size to fit - "(8 Pack) Round Silicone Dehydrator Sheets, Dostk Premium Non Stick Silicone Mesh for Fruit Dehydrator, Tray Liner Reusable (Round 13" Diameter)" I would recommend this dehydrator to anyone for similar usage. I had no negative issues with mine.

works beautifully, but is a little loud

Great quality dehydrator with multiple heating levels. It is designed in layers, allowing you to remove and add as needed, this is a great design and also allows the dehydrator to fit where need be. I will say it dehydrates faster when using less layers. This works well at dehydrating mushrooms or whatever else you can cut into slices. For this price point, you can't go wrong!

Follow the directions to clean your unit before using. I love that the trays are clear plastic so I can watch the progress but they are hard and would probably break if dropped. The dehydrator is compact enough to fit on my narrow kitchen counter and lightweight. The manual that comes with it is written well unlike some other products made in China. There is a guide for dehydrating fruits and vegetables but nothing for meat. I bought this to make chicken breast dog treats and after researching online I found an excellent way to do this...use precooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast. Slice the breast into long thin strips and place on the dehydrator trays. Use the highest setting and check the progress periodically--mine took about 4 hours to get the desired crunchiness, if you want a more chewy treat you can use less time. Precooked meat goes faster and also protects against bacteria growth that can occur in raw meat at low temperatures. My Min Pin loves his treat and I am happy that it is healthy for him with no added chemicals. I also made banana chips which are delicious--14 hours at 135 degrees F. Next time I will make my chips at a higher temperature for more crispiness. I love, love, love this product and just ordered cheese cloth from Amazon to line the trays (to prevent debris from falling into the bottom). This is better than my friends' more expensive models. Get it but be gentle with it and follow the directions. The cord is short but works fine on my kitchen counter. I plan to use it every day. I am currently making apple chips. Thank you Amazon for another affordable product that improves my life and that of my little Min Pin!

The Commercial Chef Dehydrator has been a game-changer in my kitchen! It’s powerful, easy to use, and dries everything evenly—from fruits to jerky, herbs, and even vegetables. The adjustable temperature settings make it versatile for different types of foods, and the trays are spacious, allowing me to prepare large batches at once. Cleaning is simple, as the trays are removable and dishwasher safe. I’m thrilled with the quality and efficiency, and it’s been a great investment for anyone serious about dehydrating food at home. Highly recommend!

Pro: This is compact Con: Won't reach temp without blocking most top lid holes; Temp control isn't accurate. This works by sending air up the center hole to the top lid - and then sucks it down and in through the plates. The problem is the lid has far too many holes and too much hot air escapes. The hottest it generally gets on max is 135-140F. And that is empty Covering all but one hole it will get to 167 in one test. The temp control may be high or low - so if you care - then use an accurate temp probe to test. I modified by covering most of each hole with kapton take (a high heat hobby tape). Pro: The power as measured with an accurate meter is 267 watts consistently. Essentially their 280 rating. Con: The platter holes are particularly large - too large for ground or cut herbs. Suggestion: These https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0876LPGL have a perfect sized center hole. I sharpie scribe the outer profile (using a platter) and cut it out. These tuck into the corners and are nice and flexible. Summary: Good only if you really need a compact dehumidifer - and then you'll spend $12 on sheets and need to plug top holes. Recommendation: If size isn't an issue get the Nesco Snackmaster. Works as advertised without mods etc. https://www.amazon.com/NESCO-FD-75A-Snackmaster-Food-Dehydrator/dp/B0090WOCN0
