Magic Mill Pro Food Dehydrator Machine | 10 Stainless Steel Trays | Dryer for Jerky, Dog Treats, Herb, Meat, Beef, Fruit | Keep Warm Function, Digital Timer and Temperature Control, ETL Approved

I use this weekly to make homemade beef jerky with just beef and salt and it comes out perfect every time. I appreciate how easy this is to use and it takes up about as much counter space as a microwave. This device helps me stay carnivore. It's fairly quiet when running and the trays are easy to hand wash. I let them air dry.

I own a lot of kitchen appliances—stand mixers, bread & deli meat slicers, food processors, air fryers, you name it. This dehydrator is by far one of my most useful additions to my home. Our family consumes a lot of protein, and being able to make shelf-stable jerky from raw to finished in under 24hrs is AMAZING. The shelves are the perfect size to fit 4-5 very long slices of beef on each rack. I have easily processed just over 5lbs of meat in one go. This thing is FAST—much faster than I’d imagined. With the raw setting, even thicker slices of meat are beautifully crisp all the way through in under 24hrs. So far, this dehydrator has proven to be durable and efficient. Very good value for money. Runs very quietly, so much that it is not noticeable. Dries items evenly and thoroughly, have not noticed any “weak spots” that aren’t reached by the drying fans as well. I really do love this thing, and it gets very good use in my family of four. We also dry cubed beef kidneys & liver for our dogs, as well as aromatics (garlic, onion, peppers) for powders in cooking. Awesome dehydrator, highly satisfied & would recommend.

Used this dehydrator 6 times now on both apples and onions. It works well and is not difficult to use. Dehydrates a bit faster than the cheap plastic one I bought at rural king years ago and dehydrates more evenly. Just a fyi: Because heat rises, the food in the top of the dehydrator will be slightly drier than the food at the bottom. Not enough of a difference to make you want to move the trays though. There is a smell that comes from the dehydrator on first use. The manual states to run the unit without food for 30 minutes. I would recommend a longer run time of around 10 hours without food to get rid of the smell. Once past the initial break in period, the only thing you will smell is the food your drying.

I’m overall very happy with this dehydrator. It’s compact for its capacity, but be sure to measure your space! It works well, every piece feels high quality, it’s fairly quiet, and it’s easy to use. Only reason for 4 stars is when you go to set the time and temp, it auto resets after like 5 seconds if you don’t press start. And if there’s a way to change the temp/time mid cycle, I haven’t found it.

I do a fair bit of 3D FDM printing. The plastic filament used "prints" very well when it is dry, but if it sits around for a while and picks up moisture, it can be impossible to get a good print. A bunch of companies make 3D filament dryers. In my experience, they are cheaply constructed. They don't go a good job of keeping the air moving around the filament so drying can be uneven if you don't keep going back and rotating the spools. When the last one I purchased failed after 2 days, I returned it to Amazon and decided that I was done with 3D Filament Dryers. I found this 10 tray food dehydrator. It had excellent reviews. And the price was good for me. So I ordered it. I can put three 1 kilogram spools into this dryer. It has an active fan that really circulates the air inside the cabinet. And I've been pleased with how accurate the temperature control is. Like I said in the headline, maybe my use is not a typical use for this piece of equipment. But I've been very happy with it. And given that it does such a great job on these pieces of plastic I'm trying to dry out, I have to think that it would also be great at doing it's intended job of dehydrating food. My only complaint about it - and I never thought I'd hear myself say this - is that I can't set it to display in Centigrade. All the filaments out there typically give you their preferred drying temperature in Celsius. And this unit is Farenheit only. LOL. It's not a big deal for me. I simply made myself a little conversion chart and that works great for me! So that's not really something I should complain about. I just love this machine. A word of caution though if you do want to use this for drying 3D printer filament. It operates between 90 and 165 degrees F (32 to 74 degrees C). So some of the engineering materials like TPU, PC, PPS, etc., may have to be dried longer at a lower temperature or maybe you'll have to use a different system for them. I rarely print in those materials. And typically when I do, I'll burn up a whole spool within a few days so they really don't sit around and pick up moisture. But just be aware of that "limitation." But I can say with full conviction that this is an excellent addition to my 3D printing efforts. I highly recommend it.

Works well, easy to use, it’s not loud and jerky comes out great.

This is a game-changer! I have dried thin-skin peppers to make paprika, which tastes much better than store bought paprika. I have also used this with dried mushrooms to further dry them for mushroom powder to use in soups and broth. Really solid construction that is quiet during operation. Truly a set-it-and-forget-it tool to dry goods for storage and immediate use. And the smell throughout the house is an added bonus! So easy to set up and use.

So far used for herbs and fruits (spicebush, stinging nettles, lemon balm, Rose, hips, orange peels and a few other things). Not too noisy, The racks are nice quality and easy to clean.

I started making my own beef jerky at home and l think the best method is using a dehydrator to dry out your meat, so l needed something that could hold 3kg of meat easy to operate, reliable temperature values not noisy and easy to clean. This is it the Magic Mill Pro.

This machine is very easy to use. I love it.

This is a nice unit. The pros are it looks nice and it has a clear front door which opens nicely. The cons are it does NOT have a pause action button. So when I stop the unit to check on and shift around my shelves, the timer goes back to zero and you have to reset the whole thing. Very annoying. Also, the racks are metal which is nice for vegetables and non-stick items. However, I use this unit for a lot of fruit and it stuck to the shelves so bad I almost scraped them into powder. I did buy some silicone racks and they worked better for fruit in this unit. It is also very large so takes up a lot of counter space compared to my old unit. However, I also like how quiet it is. So these are all the things I noticed after using it a few times for both fruit and vegetables. Be aware of that when buying the item. If I had to do it again, I would probably not buy this for those reasons because I do mainly fruit and I need a timer to check because cutting fruit is not a uniform process so they dry at differing rates.
