Commercial 10 Trays Food Dehydrator machine for jerky and beet, Usable Area up to 17ft² and 195℉ Temperature, 1000W Detachable Stainless Steel Dryer,for Meat, Fruit, Beef, Herbs, Pet Food

I've had this for about two and a half weeks now and I have used it almost everyday. It's amazing. And it fits so much more than you think it will! I have only dehydrated fruits and veggies, no leathers or meats or jerky. I do not follow the "recipe" book they give you, the times and temps are wrong. It comes with 8 trays (very easy to clean by hand), 4 silicone mats (work great and are super easy to clean), a drip tray (plastic), 2 plastic containers with lids (not sure why they included these), and 2 silicone mittens. I couldn't find anywhere what was included on this listing so that's why I included everything above, it also doesn't say what's included once you receive it in the recipe book or in the instructions). I haven't had to use the mittens but they do work I tested them when I had used our toaster oven. I haven't added lemon, citric acid, salt, or anything else that everyone claims you need to add so the fruit or veggies don't brown. I do steam blanch the veggies I dehydrate and I only use organic fruits and veggies. Idk if that's why they aren't browning? I have no idea! But I've done bananas, apples, pears, watermelon, beets, cucumber, rainbow carrots, baby carrots, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts (they are my little boys favorite 🐾🐾), green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin (fresh not canned), butternut squash, kale, and zucchini. None of them have browned even a little! I do use a mandolin and slice most of them at 1/4 inch. I cubed the butternut squash.I do recommend storing in mason jars with food grade desiccant packs. Of course you can use vacuum seal bags as well without the desiccant packs. It's just my recommendation to add them in. I've seen a lot of posts saying they aren't necessary, but they give me peace of mind since I am such a newbie! (And you can reactive the desiccant packs making them reusable!)I did also buy an attachment for our vacuum sealer to get all of the air from the mason jars, it comes with the regular size and wide mouth size and it works great (little tip, moisten the rubber ring, mine is blue, if you use the mason jar attachment, it will save you a lot of time and frustration). I also keep everything in a bottom cabinet out of direct light.Something else I recommend, especially if you're new to dehydrating like I am, is a wood moisture meter, yes I know I probably sound like a crazy person, but it really works and helps! The one I bought is by the brand Erickhill (model - EWM01 even comes with batteries). The prongs are less than an inch apart which is why it makes it perfect for checking dehydrated food! Use it on the lowest setting and it will give you the moisture content (just make sure you let whatever you're dehydrating cool down first, for a more accurate reading).I haven't had any problems, besides wanting to dehydrate anything and everything! I bought this so that I can make healthy treats for my little boy 🐾🐾 and also for my husband and I. Buying a food freeze dryer is next on my wish list, time to start saving (they are quite a bit more expensive, haha)!!! I haven't used it yet for dog treats that aren't single ingredient fruits or veggies but I do plan on using it for those as well. You won't be disappointed with this dehydrator, it's so easy for a newbie! Like I said I just got this about two and a half weeks ago and have no prior experience! Just a mama trying to be healthy and make healthy snacks where I know all the ingredients! :)I know this is a lengthy review, being a newbie myself I had so many questions running through my head! I hope the info I provided is helpful! I did so much research on what is the "best" brand dehydrator and ultimately decided to try my luck with this one and I am so happy I did! Happy dehydrating! :)

I am using the septree ten tray for the first time today. i have been dehydrating for over 40 years, and THIS is the one i wish i had always had!! all stainless steel, comes apart into two pieces to clean, easy access to repair if ever needed! i am amazed at the quality!! i will be buying another one soon! it's so quiet compared to Nesco, i cant believe it! i am IMPRESSED SO FAR. i will update review as time passes, but this is great! my only 'complaint' if you can call it that, is the 'recipe book' that came with it....no no no! toss that baby in the trash and buy a REAL book like the Dehydrators Bible and join some dehydrating groups on FB to learn the PROPER drying techniques and recipes!! every single recipe in the book that comes with the dryer is wrong wrong wrong!! i have dried fruit and veg and kept them in vacuum sealed jars for YEARS on the shelf!! and i always cook meat before doing any drying of it!! no raw meats. raw eggs, sure, but not meat. check out youtube to learn your way around! but be picky. anyway, this is a great dehydrator for everyone, beginner and expert. the price is right too, at $200 no matter what the 'coupon or discount' is offered. ! it's a shame they only include two silicone sheets to use, they are cheap, could have included one for each of the ten shelves, instead of the silly silicone 'gloves' (wait till you see the silly finger covers!) and two really lame plastic jars. not happy with that . i already ordered more silicone sheet liners, and silicone trays to fit for liquids. OH! the trays are 14 1/2 by 14 1/2 inches square. again, cant believe how quiet this machine is. it's a little difficult to reach the controls, of course they are on the top of the fan/electric motor at the very back of the machine. you will want it on a low table of some kind, if i put it on a regular counter height, i cant see or reach the control panel. no other complaints, and i will live with this one. i am absolutely buying another one!EDIT: still loving this dehydrator a year later! still the same complaint: controls are out of my reach. planning on installing a lower counter in the kitchen just for my machines. the only change i would have liked, is somehow to have the controls on the front face of the dryer. i know why it's not, but had it been , i could have stacked two, and if i could have stacked them two high, i would have bought two more! works great, even with two running at the same time in the kitchen, i cannot even hear them from 8 feet away. awesome!
