I have read on some different sites about some of the cons being, too noisy, no on/off switch. As for the noise, I thought it was extremely quiet, I think my dishwasher is much louder, it was on the kitchen counter and the noise was no bother at all.

Thanks for making such a great product! I was looking to expand my business (Pawfectly Healthy all natural homemade dog treats) into dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Therefore you have to check the jerky and after a while, you have to take the jerky that's done out and move the jerky from the middle and move them to the edges. It's a slight pain, but worth it.

The dried apples are fantastic and the initial price was great (because I had a rebate through my credit card) but I'm seriously worried about my electricity bill so makes me wonder if it's worth it in the long run.

I gave some of my friends' kids some dehydrated strawberry leathers and "jerky granola" (if you dehydrate ground beef until it gets a granola crispness, it's actually really great). They unanimously adored it.

If you dehydrate anything, this is a great dehydrator. It is very affordable and works great. I researched them for a few weeks and read just about every review on the internet. It seemed to have all the best features and at an unbeatable price. However, I am happy with this buy. A lot of research went into my decision to purchase this dehydrator; the reviews and price were the determining factors. Great product, glad it was my choice, will buy again if this one eventually breaks. This is one of the best food dehydrators I have ever used. The unit performed flawlessly. We were able to dehydrate everything in less time than expected. I think the Nesco brand is the best on the market and hopefully I just got a lemon. Whenever, I get my replacement and use it, I will follow-up this review. As for the product itself, I only have a couple issues: -no on/off switch -The times on the recipes aren't really accurate all the time. Some say things like max of 16 hours while it ended up being 20 hours before I had to remove something. You have a high end toasted snack that makes a great Christmas gift along with the jerky & apple crisps. Also tried cinnamon & Splenda on the pecans, which was fantastic (reminded me of a $5 cone of pecans/cinnamon/sugar we bought in Branson at a show, but much healthier).

OK, this is my first dehydrator so I can't compare this to other units but so far I'm truly impressed!

It is easy to use and easy to clean. I am using to make dog treats as most of the dog products come from China and are NOT safe.

I had an older model Nesco that finally had the fan motor burn out after many uses. Garden Spades.
