Overview
A built-in fan and an adjustable thermostat drive the airflow and heat in this Excalibur dehydrator, which dries the contents of every tray at the same time. Flexible polyscreen inserts stop food from sticking.
Even drying across all trays means no rotating, and the long timer lets jerky or fruit run overnight. The limit is bulk: it needs a lot of counter, and the wattage in the listing is stated two ways.
Who it's for
Households that preserve large harvests or process game meat get the most from the drying space. Occasional snackers will find the size excessive.
Pros and cons
- Large drying space
- Long timer with auto shut off
- Polyscreen inserts prevent sticking
- Bulky on the counter
- Not dishwasher safe
- Wattage listed inconsistently
Performance notes
A fan moves heated air across all trays together, so the contents finish at close to the same time. Lower drying temperatures preserve more of the natural nutrients, while higher ones speed up jerky. The timer and shutoff let it run unattended for long cycles.
