Magic Mill Food Dehydrator Machine | 5 Stackable Stainless Steel Trays, 48H Digital Adjustable Timer & Temperature Control Upto 167° Electric Dryer & Preserver for Jerky, Fruit, Dog Treats & Much More

I have used this dehydrator several times to dehydrate meats (steak, chicken breast, thighs, and gizzards) and fruits (strawberries and oranges) and have been extremely satisfied with the results. The dehydrator comes with a little "cookbook" that was super helpful in determining the temperature and times that would be required for each item. The touch controls are sensitive and it is easy to overshoot times/temperatures when first using. The timer is accurate and is set in 30 minute increments, but displays the time remaining per minute which I like. While operating, the machine is quiet, with just a fan noise that isn't loud enough to hear outside of the kitchen. Whatever you are dehydrating will fill your space with an aroma, the fruits gave off a wonderful smell, but the meat/proteins can be a punch in the face when you open a door to the room/house - especially if unseasoned (like when making dog treats). The trays are sturdy and had no burs on the metal mesh which was an awesome discovery, especially for a product of this price. The trays are easy to clean, but I have cleaned them all by hand so I cannot speak on the dishwasher. The produced products have been delicious, and when I have made dog treats my dog has preferred them over store bought ones. Some tricks that I learned while operating this product: - Place thicker/larger items on closer to the bottom otherwise you'll have longer dehydration times - Fattier items (like chicken thighs) are more likely to stick to your trays, try to remove some of the fat - Slightly twisting the trays when the food is done will help pop items off and doesn't warp or damage the tray - Use a scrubbing brush when cleaning the trays, a rough sponge will get grated like cheese - The cookbook gives temperature ranges, using a middle temp. produced the best results I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking to use a dehydrator for making their own dehydrated fruits, garnish, jerky, or dog treats. It is extremely easy to use this product and it has produced fantastic results!

This dehydrator is amazing. It’s not top gear but it works like it is. The function is very easy as far as the settings. I’ve used it at least 3 times a week and it always does a great job. I mainly make beef jerky, apple chips and strawberry’s. It’s a great buy for the price. It’s not very loud. Doesn’t get concerningly hot. The plastic doesn’t melt or stick together and I can fit a good amount of jerky/ apples in at one time so it’s got good capacity. I plan on buying the extra racks so I can get more done at once. Overall very happy with my purchase

This is a pretty small unit, but works great for what I need it for. Very happy with my purchase!

This item is amazing. Super easy to use, came already assembled, just had to stack the trays. Extremely easy to clean and works perfectly. I am very pleased with this product and the ease of use.

Good dehydrator, works as it should. I should have purchased the one with French doors. The problem is having to take off every single tray to get to one at the bottom.

Perfect for my mobile bar business! It comes with five trays! I was able to do a half gallon Ziploc bag of orange slices and lemon slices for garnishes. Make sure to slice your fruit then so they come out perfect! The thicker slices had to stay in a little longer to get crispy.

It works, for now? Unfortunately, as you can see in the picture, the label for the front buttons is on upside down. The unit is also not balanced, and rocks back and forth, which is puzzling because the feet seem flat and uniform. I suspect the entire plastic mold for the casing is warped, which is not a good sign. These minor issues have me worried that it won't last very long. edit: Editing my review after using it for a few days. The fact that it's off balance is very annoying, since I have to prop it up with something on one end in order to make it not rattle while it's running. Even then, it still rattles if I don't line it up perfectly. On top of that, not only is it quite small, but the trays feel fragile and have a very weird, loose fit, which I think contributes to the rattle. The limited height of the trays, even when switched around to the higher setting, is also kind of annoying. The cord is also really short, about 3 feet, so you will need an outlet nearby or an extension cable of some sort. This might not seem like a big issue at first, but when you're going to have this thing running for 12-24 hours straight, you're going to want to be able to put it somewhere out of the way. I guess it was only $50, so I suppose it's still one of the cheapest available, but since it's really just a fan, heating element, and some plastic/metal, I still feel like it's a bit overpriced. Are all of the other dehydrators on Amazon worse for the price? Maybe, even probably, since the reviews for them don't look great either, but it's still expensive for what it is. If the front panel was on properly, and it didn't rock back and forth, I would have probably given it five stars.

Works very well and is way quieter than I expected.

Fontionne tres bien

Works great

It does what I need it to do.

This item came broken. The top cover is plastic and it was in peices. the trays are stainless embeded in plastic so lots of plastic. Not reordering.
