Fruit turned out great
I love that this dehydrator comes with easy to understand instructions. I was able to dehydrate some fruit that came out amazing. The instructions told me exactly how to do it. It is so easy to use. I made strawberries and apples. Holds a lot of product and it easy to clean. I can’t wait to try some different foods.

Easy to use!
I've been using the Hamilton Beach Food Dehydrator for a while now, and it's been great for making healthy snacks for my family. We love fruit leather and dried fruit, and this dehydrator makes it so easy to make our own at home. Plus, it's much healthier and cheaper than buying it at the store. My husband uses it to make deer jerky, and it turns out great every time. The dehydrator has a timer and auto shutoff, so it's really easy to use. And the clear lid lets you check on the food without opening it up. It comes with five trays and special sheets for drying small foods and making fruit leather. It's also easy to clean, which is always a plus. The only downside is that it's a bit big, so it can be tricky to store. But overall, it's a great dehydrator for making healthy snacks at home.

A Must InThe Kitchen!
The Hamilton Beach food dehydrator is an absolute must in your kitchen. From drying meats & herbs to fruits and vegetables, it will save a ton of food and money. It is so easy to use. Simply put desired product in machine, set temperature and timer and let it go. It dries food items to perfection. It comes with 5 stacking trays, a mesh sheet for herbs and a solid sheet for everyone's favorite, fruit rolls. I've been making jerky for 30 years, and this is by far the best machine I've found. It comes out perfect, not over dry or limp. My granddaughters favorite are of course fruit roll ups. They love experimenting with different fruits and cook times. It is equipped with an adjustable thermostat ( my favorite feature) and a 48 hour auto shutoff. It is very easy to clean and stacks neatly in the pantry when not in use. I enjoy feeding my family healthy treats, and saving money to boot. I love the time I spend with my grandchildren processing different foods for them to enjoy. A great learning experience for them as well. It's almost like a science experiment in a box for them. They are amazed to see the process and product from beginning to end. One of my best assets ever.

Pretty good.
My husband really likes making jerkey and this dehydrator is perfect for it. We have also dehydrated fruit and i love that the booklet helps you with times & thickness of the fruit. Its worked great the 3 times we've used it and the trays wash easily. So far so good. The obly thing i dont care for is the top plastic lid seems a bit "cheap" but it does what its supposed to do.

Actually pretty easy to use
So, it isn’t as confusing as I thought. Actually very simple! My husband loves beef jerky and when I told him about this Hamilton Beach Food Dehydrator he was so excited. He went and got meat, made a marinade & cut it into pieces and marinated it over night. Then taking it out of the bag and putting on paper towel sounds and doesn’t look appetizing but it’s just the process. We put it on the top 2 trays with a nice spacing in between. Stacked the trays on the dehydrator covered and set the temperature for 160° for 4 hours as per the instructions. There is a pre or post treatment , we will do the post treatment of putting in a preheated oven just to ensure the meat is fully cooked. When I turned on the dehydrator it sounded like a quiet fan and then it sounded faster not too loud though. I thought it would be a complicated process but it’s very simple. And the cleaning process is very easy. I love easy and these trays can be easily hand washed as I did wipe them down prior to using or in the dishwasher.

It works
This food dehydrator machine trays provide up to 4.2 square feet of drying space for making plenty of all-natural foods and snacks with no added sugar or preservatives. Dry meat for jerky, fruit snacks, veggie chips and more. It is easy to use. You can adjust the temperature from 100-160ºF to dry a variety of foods. The digital timer counts down from 1 hour to 48 hours, then the dehydrator automatically shuts off when time is up. I use it on my oranges and came out really good. I was not as lucky with my bananas. The bananas were soft in the middle and overall not as crunchy. I can wait to make meat jerky.

Easy to use. Plenty of room, not loud.
The food dehydrator is on my kitchen counter, I used it to dry apple slices for a snack and made beef jerky. It is not too loud when running and the setup and use was easy. Cleanup was quick as well with the spray nozzle on my sink it was clean and ready to use again quickly. The fruit came out sweet and the jerkey was delicious. The jerky did not last as long as I was hoping but I plan to dry by next batch for longer. We will see how much of a difference it makes.

Great food dehydrator
This is a great food dehydrator. I have used it multiple times and loved everything I made. I have made jerky, fruit rolls and even dog treats. I love that I can’t see the thermostat. The timer is great also. It is so easy to use and it cleans up easy too. I love that I can make healthier treats for my family.
