The door will easily Break if not careful it will fall off, hard to clean

Our first Excalibur has an analog temperature and timer setting where our second one has the digital temperature and timer setting. Both work wonderful, during growing season they are kept busy dehydrating primarily green beans, corn, carrots, celery, onions*, bell peppers, hot peppers*, and kale to name a few items. Prior to starting we determine the amount of fresh vegetable we would want in a pot of soup. and only putting that amount on a tray. Once dehydrated we put the desired vegetable combination in a food saver bag with the appropriate oxygen packet then vacuum seal. In theory they will stay good for 20 to 25 years, we don't know as we make soup multiple times throughout the year. As my wife starts the soup we just open a pack of the dehydrated vegetable dump them in and by the time the soup is ready to eat the dehydrated vegetable have rehydrated and unable to be distinguished from fresh. We also do apples, bananas, pineapples, veggie chips, and a variety of flavors of jerky. We also do fruit leathers. Figuring our family consist of: my wife and myself, our Children and their spouses (10), Grandchildren and their spouses (14), Great Grandchildren (12), our Sisters and their spouses (6), Nieces and Nephews and spouses (8) and Great Nieces and Nephews (4). Hopefully I counted correctly that gives us a total of 56 family members. As I am writing this I have Kale in one of the dehydrators and need to harvest more. We have the silicone tray liners but I have also found that I can use parchment paper particularly for items that have a tendency to drip (Jerky); Fruit leathers I definitely use the silicone tray liners then when done I roll them in plastic wrap wide enough to twist the ends when rolled. Fruit leathers we have done include Apple, banana, blueberry, strawberry, and strawberry-banana. If you can a quart jar requires about 16 square inches and 112 cubic inches of space. A canner hold 8 jars requiring 128 square inches and 896 cubic inches of storage space. In that same space instead of 8 jars of a single item I can store approximately 120 packets containing a mixture of fruits and vegetables. I purchase food grade plastic buckets with lids to store the various dehydrated items in. You need at least 3 buckets: (1) vegetables except for peppers and onions, (2) .peppers and onions for obvious reasons, and (3) fruit. You need to store the buckets in a cool place with as little light as possible. Buy now you can understand why the title says "1 - 2 I'd like another" allowing me to do multiple items with different drying times and temperatures. * these items must be done outside away from your doors for obvious reasons, learned the hard way.

Ive had mine for about four years and love it. Just started making yogurt in it. Highly recommend buying when on sale.

This product appears cheap if you are looking online, but this thing is built like a tank. Highly recommend this. Food comes out perfect. USA!

I bought this as an upgrade to replace my first one. I started out with a much cheaper unit to make sure I was going to use it often enough. I found I needed more space and this one has plenty for me. It also drys stuff that took me 3 days in my first unit less than a day. The fan is nice and big and love the digital controls. It's perfect for making backpacking meals and beef jerky as my trail snack

I just read another review and wanted to note that I have had this model for several years and have not had the problem with liquids getting on the fan. It has worked perfectly and cleans up easily for me.

I up graded from a round old plastic model. The Excalibur is fantastic!. Love the easy clean trays, easy clean interior, big fan, and not too loud. The timer and temperature control is so helpful. I am enjoying dehydrating my garden produce. Easy to use and so much better than my old slow model.

Excited for all the new projects to come! This is a must in your kitchen appliances

I purchased this unit and the first one that arrived was damaged in shipping. Fine, it happens. Received replacement unit and didn't have time for about 6 weeks to use it. First time I plug it in the fan DOESN'T WORK. I'm wondering why all this food isn't drying and start checking about 20 hours into drying. At first I'm thinking I didn't use it right, maybe using so many racks slows down the drying? Maybe it takes longer than it says? Nope, it's that the product is defective from the get go. I'm learning that the refund window from where I purchased it is expired and so I have a $300+ easy bake oven that's probably a fire hazard. Unfortunately can't recommend this product as I've never gotten to successfully use it.

Love it, it's definitely worth the price. I have a round Nesco that I used for over 20 years. I thought it was good enough, NOT. Excalibur is so much better. Buy it, you won't regret it.
