FD-60

I bought my Nesco American Harvest Dehydrator & Jerky Maker today, after using my old Mr. Coffee model for about a week or so. I felt I needed a second one. Forget the Mr. Coffee! The Nesco works faster, better, and more even. I love that it has temperature control and the fan on the top. I also don't have to rotate the trays like the other one. It is also quieter! I love it!

Love my dehydrator. I have my favorite fruits of course. One being Granny Smith apple rings.

I have noticed I eat more fruit and have less wasted fruits.

Because I count calories -- I bag up my fruit in snack bags -- 1 dried apple in a bag. That way I can count my servings more easily.

NESCO FD61P 500 Watt Dehydrator

Best dehydrator I have ever owned. I never have to rotate trays. I have dried jalapeno peppers, okra, potatoes and onions at the same time without flavors transferring. We are blessed to live in Zone 9, central Florida and garden 365 days a year. We freeze and dehydrate all our crops. Our dehydrated veggies store for years in glass jars with tight fitting lids.

Nesco with seven trays

by Sheila

I have the seven tray Nesco and I bought some of those non-stick sheets, they are very handy and have little finger cut-outs on the edges so you can lift them out easily!

I do notice that they stain, especially after dehydrating carrots, so I keep those sheets for carrots and sweet potatoes. The unstained sheets I use for fruits etc that don't stain!

Ancient - But Still Works!

by Kirsten

I have a model so old that they do not make it anymore, and I have no idea of the model. I think it was a early version of the Snackmaster but I cannot be sure, (it's round, if that helps... fan on the bottom).

It's old, cranky, and no longer stacks neatly because at some point it overheated and the trays warped just slightly... while I wouldn't use it for meat, anymore... it works just fine for vegetables.

The thing is -- the ancient old dehydrators are *fine* for vegetables and other less tricky items so as long as you are not making jerky? Keep it until it dies!

4 tray model

Best Dehydrator on the market. I dry mangoes and the Nesco - does it perfectly. I liked it so much I have 2 now.

I have tried other machines and they ruined the mangoes with a nasty plastic taste so I stay with the Nesco only.

Fantastic kitchen appliance. It works great on fruit meat and whatever you want to dry. Fast quiet and efficient. I recommend spraying the trays for easier cleanup. Overall, you can't beat this product.

Which Dehydrator Lasts?

How long does a Nesco dehydrator last? I haven't bought one yet.

nesco fd 75A

I love my dehydrator and been drying everything my family will eat. I bought new trays and screens recently from Amazon but they were a little too big. I can use the trays but I had to cut down the screens. I want to get fruit roll-up trays to do tomato sauce to make tomato powder but don't think they will work if I have to cut them down. They say they will fit my NESCO but the other thing didn't.
Thank you for this article.
