SUCISENI Food Dehydrator Machine 1000W 18 Trays Stainless Steel Commercial Food Dehydrated Dryer with 24H Timer Touch-Control LED Display, Compact Size for Home Jerky Herbs Meat Beef Fruit Vegetables

This food dehydrator has been a game-changer in my kitchen. It’s easy to use, runs quietly, and produces excellent results. I’ve dehydrated everything from apples and bananas to jerky and herbs, and everything comes out perfectly dried and full of flavor.The trays are spacious and easy to clean, and the adjustable temperature settings make it great for different types of food. I also appreciate the consistent airflow—no need to rotate trays. It’s a great way to preserve food and make healthy, homemade snacks without any added sugars or preservatives.If you’re looking to get into food dehydration or upgrade from a basic model, I highly recommend this one. Solid performance and well worth the price.

Amazing dehydrator. This thing works FANTASTICALLY! I love it. I have been drying herbs left right and center and its been holding up so well. Definitely worth the purchase. So easy to open and start using. Simple directions to follow for set up and start using.

I read reviews searched multiple dehydrators and settled on this one do to a few reasons. 1: It is stainless steel for easy clean up. 2: it doesn't take up much space. 3: it has 8 racks and for herbs that's good! 4: the temp was within the range I need 5: it had good reviews... The bad reviews (with pictures) I was able to see the meat was to close and to much to get proper flow (in my own opinion). So very happy I went with it (stay with me here lol) because the one I ordered worked a few times then just wouldn't get up to temp. (Which could be the issue with the meat review). So contacted Amazon and they gave me the options of refund or replace. I requested a replacement. The new one is on point!!!!! I set the temp and time... And walk away. It is perfect for me and customer service is great. At least in my experience.

I would not recommend this product to anyone. I have own mine for a month, read the reviews and carefully chose this product. My mistake not getting a warranty on it ! It’s already malfunctioned and is inoperable! I am so disappointed.

This Dehydrator was a great investment. It’s well built and has a slim design making it easy to store. We love preserving food, making snacks, and experimenting with food preservation techniques. We are into making dried fruits and homemade herbs. This dehydrator saves us time and energy compared to using our oven

The media could not be loaded. This product has been a game changer for cooking healthy snacks. I hydrate all kinds of fruits to use as toppings. It great addition to our kitchen with eight trays and a powerful motor. It is much larger then I though and work according to the description. I made so many items that I can even count.

I have been making beef jerky since August 2011 when I purchased my first dehydrator, the Nesco FD-80 (it still works). During that entire time, I have dehydrated:- Fruit (bananas, persimmons, pineapples, etc)- Herbs (including leaves and flowers for tea)- Jerky (beef mostly. Other meats require too much preparation to make them safe for dehydration)With the Nesco's plastic trays starting to fall apart, I eyed the premium Excalibur dehydrator, but its high price made me balk every time I was about to purchase. Alternatives were less than desirable because their maximum heating temperature is usually up to only about 158F -- that generally is not a problem for beef although an internal meat temperature of 165F is considered safe (especially for poultry). Furthermore, unlike the Nesco's round trays, the Excalibur has square ones that pack a bit more capacity but also do not dry as evenly.This awkwardly-named Suciseni appliance caught my eye with its maximum temperature of 194F and 8 trays, but like the Excalibur, its square trays are not immune to the uneven drying effect. What I did find, however, is that the drying is better than with the dehydrator I used to have that was mostly plastic. I am not sure if an all-metal housing is making a positive difference, but it appears to be.PROS- Square trays provide more room for items to be dehydrated- Clear glass allows you to check on the items' status without opening the door- Multiple temperature settings going as high as 194F- Temperature display in Fahrenheit (some only display in Celsius)- Built-in timer that goes up to about 24 hours (minimum 30 mins)- Dishwasher-safe, BPA-free trays- Generous 8-tray capacity- All-metal housing- Greater value than the 8-tray Excalibur- Takes up less space than the NescoCONS- Square trays dehydrate items more unevenly than rounded ones, partially because the rounded one generally throw heat downward in a more distributed way- All-metal housing makes the entire unit very hot to touch- Bottom of appliance has no tray to catch dripping juices, making cleanup a bit more painful than the Nesco (whose base could be removed for washing). I used a heavy-duty aluminum foil as a liner as a workaroundAs I had stated, the price-to-value ratio for this product is very good. It dehydrated my fruit and herb very well, and beef jerky came out pretty well (the pieces facing the glass door were not as dry as the ones at the back. You can alleviate that by rotating the trays half way through the drying.) Oddly, the manual states to pre-cook or boil the meat to 165F internal temperature and THEN dehydrate it (to ensure any germs are fully neutralized), but thankfully, we haven't experienced food poisoning yet. I do keep my jerky in the fridge for up to a month.Keep in mind that although the dehydrator can go up to 194F, a higher temperature may not necessarily be good for food. The high heat will first crisp up the exterior but leave the inside not as dry and potentially invite germs to grow. I stick to 165F for my jerky (Nesco's recommendation).RECIPES and TIPSWatch Alton Brown's Good Eats episode of how to make beef jerky. You'll learn quite a lot. After that, simply experiment with various recipes you may find on the internet. You may also consider a meat slicer to help cut some cooking time and to keep the meat at a consistent depth. Some butchers will gladly cut to size for you.For beef jerky, remember that fats spoil faster than meats. As such, for jerky to last as long as possible, trim out as much fat as you can and/or get as lean of a meat you can find. I like having some fat in my jerky, and so I keep it in the refrigerator as an extra precaution, although I have consumed it during a 4-day wilderness backpacking trip before without any issues.FINAL THOUGHTSI am glad to have finally found a square-tray dehydrator that works well without having to spend as much money as for an Excalibur. Should it continue to operate reliably, I will be more than happy to retire my 9-year-old Nesco FD-80 by gifting it to a friend (partially also so she won't ask me to make her jerky as often.)

Got this to make biltong/ jerky. Works out great. It was very easy to use and set up. It also works for pretty much everything like spices, herbs, fruits like mango etc. It may be a bit smaller than it looks in the picture though. Just a heads up
