Excalibur 2900 9-Tray Food Dehydrator - Black - New Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before purchasing this dehydrator I did some research as to which dehydrator to get. Was going to start off small with one of those "cheap" dehydrators, but decided to get this one instead. Reason being, that the Excalibur blows the air from the back of the unit going across the trays. While others just blow from the top. Number ONE problem I kept reading over and over again from comsumers is that those types of dehydrators dry the outside but the inside of whatever they were dehydrating wasn't completely dried. When it came to reading up on The Excalibur I looked at it as a investment. I rather pay a little extra for a better product, knowing that with the size of this one I only need buy one for now. With the other one I almost bought I would have had to buy 3 or 4 of them. Once I get my garden up and running I plan on purchasing yet another Excalibur Dehydrator. I been learning how to use this product on [...] from a awesome lady check out [...].... Watch her videos. I was already leaning towards buying the excalibur. Once I saw her videos she sold me on this product. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Product Description:
Excalibur ® offers the Turbo Charged ParallexxTM Drying System. Millions have rediscovered the benefits of food dehydration. Healthy, nutritious, and tasty food at a huge savings.

Now Excalibur makes drying easy. For centuries food has been dried in the sun or open air - a lengthy, messy and difficult process inviting contamination and spoilage.

Excalibur pioneered a rear-mounted equipment package allowing horizontal or parallel air flow; The Parallexx SystemTM.

Your Excalibur will come with 2 Paraflexx Premium Non-stick sheets so that you can make fruit leathers and flax crackers. The Premium sheets are re-usable and will last for years. To clean them, simply wipe them off with a damp cloth.

The Model 2900 is the family size economy model. With 15 square feet of drying area, there is plenty of room for quantity drying, holds lug of peaches, etc..

Excalibur ED2500 Food Dehydrator + 2 FREE 5mil Drying Sheets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently I decided that I want to go raw foods. Then, it only seems natural that I should get a dehydrator: storing health foods for longer time, have them out of season, and of course quick healthy snacks. If you are into juicing, drying the pulp is a delicious treat! Besides, it only takes a couple of hours to do it - most liquid is already out.
I chose Excalibur because most people recommended it for making living dried foods. Sure, there are newer technologies out there, but why should I pay more for something I don't need when Excalibur works great? Besides, this one (all Excalibur series, actually) has a unique feature: the fan(s) is at the back, not at the bottom - this means that the heat is the same on every tray. The rest of dehydrators - having the fan down - makes the heat go up, so the highest tray dries first, etc. For this reason, people need to rotate trays. Not with Excalibur! The heat is the same for every tray!
You can get a model with a turn-off timer, but that costs $40 or so. Instead, I went for a timer device, which is much cheaper (the type you use for bulbs while you are in vacation).
I would suggest getting a thermometer if you are into raw foods and want to dry it faster: the technique is to use (almost) highest temperature setting until inside air temperature gets there, then lower it to 105-115 until food dries completely. The thermometer helps you know when the first stage is done.

This model with 5 trays offers a generous 8 square feet drying surface - this is because you don't need dedicated holes in the trays to allow for extra air circulation. Other dehydrators with the fan at the bottom do need them, using some space which could have otherwise been dedicated to drying.

Excalibur ED2400 4-Tray Food Dehydrator Jerky Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I left a review for this product back in March but somehow it was moved to another listing. I'll attempt leaving the review again with the hopes of saving another unsuspecting buyer from wasting his/her money:

I don't have a lot of space and thought that this 4 tray dehydrator would be the perfect solution. This thing is JUNK!!! The temperature control is completely inaccurate. On top of that, it only worked about 10 times before the heat failed completely. I tried the reset instructions to no avail. I then called the company and they made some excuse about the "rare" need for fuse replacement. The rep convinced me that it was a fluke and that the machine would most likely never need another fuse. I wanted to protect my investment so decided to chance it. It cost about $20 for the fuse/shipping. Installation instructions were fairly straight forward though it took some hassle to get everything back in place. I used the machine about 8-10 more times before it died again. What a complete waste of money--- I wish I had never purchased this product. I called the company and they offered (at full charge) to send me another fuse or I could send the product to them for repair. The cost to ship there and back plus the outrageous repair fee would equal close to what I paid for the thing in the first place. When you look inside, this thing is built like one of those light-bulb-on-a-battery things you throw together as a kid. That would be a bonus if the parts and repair were priced in accordance. This company knows how to make lots of money. I wish they had the same ambition when it came to making a decent product. I'm going back to the $30 model at my local store. Those round tray versions get a lot of bad mouthing by this company. Maybe that's because they actually LAST and they also cost (for the entire unit) only slightly more than the puny fuse in the Excalibur. Don't fall for the marketing hype like I did. This company does not stand by its product.

Nesco American Harvest 5-Tray FD-35 425-Watt Snackmaster Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose a top-element dehydrator as it's easier to clean (no drips onto the bottom element.) This dehydrator has sturdy, slightly flexible plastic trays. It's a bit noisy; when the heat goes on there is a whine I don't like, and the fan of course is noisy too. So making dehydrated foods (takes hours) needs a separate room, maybe the cellar.
The price is right on this dehydrator, but you need sheets for making jerky and fruit leathers. They aren't included (that's the minus-a-star) but you can pick them up at kitchen supply stores.

Nesco American Harvest LT-2SG Add-A-Tray for FD-75PR Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These trays are made for the FD-75 Nesco dehydrator and are the same stone gray color. However, the LT-2W trays (made for the FD-50 and FD-60) are less expensive and will fit the FD-75 also. Additional trays can substantially add to the price of the dehydrator but are necessary for efficient quantity drying. I have eight trays for my dehydrator and consider that the minimum number to best have.

Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Tray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a pack of two screens that are supposed to be identical to the one that came with the dehydrator.
It seemed to me they were a little bit heavier weight than the orginal but thats a good thing.
The main reason I got them was for easier cleanup. I like to dehydrate jerky made from a jerky gun. When I would squirt the jerky straight onto the trays it would tend to swell into the grills of the tray. This made it harder to remove and made cleanup a real mess. So I ended up squriting onto wax paper and moving them to the trays.
With these screens in place I can squirt right onto the screen/tray and it doesn't stick hard or create a mess. What little mess it creates is much easier to cleanup since it is on the surface and not in between the grids. For cleanup I leave the screen on the tray and use a nylong scrub brush. Works better than sponge or pad.
Of course you can also use these to dry smaller items that might fall through. But thats not my big concern right now. I'm happy to have less mess.
The only drawback I see is that they are overpriced. [money amount]for [money amount] worth of plastic. Also to make sure you cover all of your trays you have to buy 2 packs.

(More customer reviews)Not much to say, these are made for the square shaped FD-80 Nesco dehydrator and fit just like the ones that came with the unit. They are slightly lighter colored than the original racks, but really not a big deal to me. Since the FD-80 can go up to 8 racks total, I will probably ended up buying one more set.

After a hunting trip or a day spent picking, washing, and slicing produce, it can take a lot of time and effort to process and cure pound after pound of wild game, fruits, and vegetables. Speed up the process with this set of two handy dehydrator accessory trays. Designed for use with the Nesco FD-80 Square Food Dehydrator (sold separately), the trays combine to add a generous 200 additional square inches of drying space to the dehydrator, enabling larger batches and consequently less wasted time and energy. Even more, the units' square design provides 40-percent more drying space than traditional round dehydrator trays, and their strong, break-resistant construction features a patented Converge-Flow drying system that distributes heat quickly and evenly--no tray rotation required.

Excalibur 3900 Deluxe Series 9 Tray Food Dehydrator - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my White 9 tray Excalibur 3000 series 2 years ago and I'm so very pleased that I did!

I purchased it directly from Excaliber and not through Amazon or any of its third party sellers.At the time, Excaliber/KBI direct was the only way to purchase the3000 series white model but the price was good, shipping free, the service excellent ~ plus, and a big plus with me, a free 10 year warranty!

As it is quite a large(but light-weight)appliance, the white is less imposing than the black model in my small white kitchen. It has worked exceedingly well to meet the requirements of my raw vegan diet.It did get a lot of use the first year that I had it, more so then than now. I have been eating less dehydrated food so don't use it as often as I first did but still I find it easy to use and handy when I do need a dehydrator and I'm glad to have one.

My only problem, and it's a minor one, is the noise.It is not especially quiet but I still give it 5 stars.I have remedied the problem easily enough by simply moving it to another room when I am dehydrating an item that requires a longer drying period, such as the tomatoes I'm dehydrating right now which have been drying for 3 days at low temperature.

If you are shopping for a good dehydrator, Excalibur is the one to buy.I recommend getting the 9 trays too.You'll be glad to have them over the smaller ones. And do shop around for the best price and consider Excaliber for that warranty.

Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The children and I purchased this item for Dad for Christmas.One thing we did not plan for was Dad being home when the UPS truck arrived.Since it was delivered in its original box (and we knew this could happen) he of course could not wait until Christmas.Since I have not read the manual or used the unit, I can only tell you of my observances and the enjoyable outcome.
They (my husband and son) are using this daily.They have made dried apples, pears, pineapple, peaches, and fruit roll.They all were great!My son had to put a note on the unit so we would stop "stealing before completion".My husband bought a roast, sliced it thin, and marinated it in teriaki overnight.The beef jerky was the best.I am not a beef eater ~ but I had to taste it.My son even tried canned fruit.Please note:If you do this, expect the fruit to be teeny tiny and a bit sweet.My husband orders homemade smoked bratwurst, which is supposed to hang dry for two to three weeks.He placed it in the dehydrator and it was ready to eat in 3 hours.

It takes some adjustment hearing the fan.This is not really a problem as you can relocate it to a basement or laundry room as we do.I am the only person this sometimes annoys, as I am not one for extra noise in the evening. Cleaning is also very quick and easy.

Before I bought this make and model ~ I researched websites, catalogs, asked coworkers and relatives that have the much cheaper brands from discount stores.I decided to spend the extra dollars for a system that can be added to at anytime, has a fan for better drying, and has easy cleanup. This was a wonderful Christmas gift.I highly recommend it.

It is now March 24, 2009; The guys still use and love this unit.I, on the other hand, get to wash it when they are finished.This was a great gift ~ keeps giving!
