Commercial Chef CCD100W6 Food Dehydrator, 100, White

It’s a essential for kitchen. Keep it up

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!

Arrived fast. Very well packaged. I’m using it to dry flowers and herbs! Easy to use and works great.

I am really surprised! This did exactly what it said it would! Easy to clean, small, and by using every other pan you get great drying !!

I’m really happy with this dehydrator! It’s simple to use, dries fruit evenly, and is perfect for making cocktail garnishes. Great quality for the price!”

Right out of the box the top was cracked so the cover and plates are fragile and will break easily. I didn't want to wait for another so I kept it. Now when I used it I was very pleased with its performance. It's low profile made a great addition to the kitchen. The noise was so low I couldn't tell it was on. It is very easy to use and I had dry herbs,apple chips, and dry rosella calyxsus ready for tea in 2 to 4 hours.
