MisterChef® Professional Food Dehydrator, 250W White Color Large 5 Trays – Easy Clean – Easy to use Adjustable Thermostat - BPA Free – Perfect for healthy Snacks, Free 2 Year Warranty

We love dried fruit, however after buying some dried mango from a big grocery store that had a disgusting whitish powder all over the fruit, I looked for a dehydrator. THANK GOODNESS THEY EXIST!. This device is brilliant. I have used it several times and the fruit comes out delicious. The package comes with a 'booklet', not a 'Recipe Book' as the listing says. >In the recipe booklet they suggest to immerse the fruit in fruit juice for a couple of hours before drying it, and trust me: you don't need it. The fruit retains all the natural flavors and sweetness, no need for more. >In the recipe booklet they suggest to cover the fruit with lemon juice so the fruit keeps its bright color... not needed either. Times may vary depending on what you are drying, so far I have dried: Mango, pineapple, strawberries, apple, pear, kiwi and peach. I place the sliced fruit on the trays at around 9pm and leave it until 9am (12 hours) on temperature '7'. It is the perfect snack for children, completely free from additives and preservatives. I also use it to decorate puddings and cakes. I haven't been able to store for more than 3 hours.... we eat it all! LOL. You'll find that it takes a bit of time to get the fruits ready; washing, peeling, cutting, slicing... but it's all worth it.

I brought this as a gift for my nephew, who is very pleased with it, does exactly as stated, I was so impressed I am considering purchasing one for myself. Great value for money.

I bought this to replace a similar model that I have had for around 10 years so I could use the same shape trays. They are easy to use the only downside on this one is the numbered settings instead of temperature settings but I assume the numbers equate to fairly closely to temperature settings on my old one so I will just use that knowledge. It’s a minor point but for anyone buying this as their first ever it would be confusing, there is no explanation in the instructions of what temp the numbers relate to either. Otherwise it’s a great buy

It seemed like the budget solution for a project. Read the spec and it claimed to reach 70oC but in reality it barely reaches 62oC and that for me is a problem. (Tested using two calibrated probes). Secondly, it was delivered with a broken lid (please see attached picture) My advise would be not to buy this product. In fact I am adding that after one year of occasional use it stopped working. Do not buy this product in my opinion.

As many others mine came broken as well, only the top cracked, but not affecting the use of it. It was double boxed, so delivery must be rough. It works great, very easy to use, not noisy. Using very frequently. Great machine to create for healthy snacks.

Replaced my old machine with this. It does what it is supposed to but takes way way longer than old machine or what's stated in booklet. Eventually does a good job. States timer but there is no timer and temperatures not on machine just numbers albeit it gives corresponding temperatures in manual. Ok for the price and good for beginners but will be getting something better later. No tray for making fruit rollups or other more liquid foods. Gaps in trays quite big so small foods fall through.

I've only used this to dry out mushrooms so far and it does a fantastic job.

Bought this very excited to make my own beef jerky. When it arrived I dehydrated apple slices and banana slices which it did perfectly. Second day I put in my pre marinated beef slices and switched it on. 3 hrs into the process all I could feel was cool air flowing. That shouldn't be I thought? Wasn't working at all. Had to finish my jerky in the oven which was OK. Contacted the seller and they were very prompt to reply via amazon. And told me that they would send out a new base unit which I'm using atm. Must say my new batch of jerky is the bomb! I hope this unit lasts because I'm enjoying the fruits of my labour. Fair play to misterchef in being so prompt and sending out a new heating base.
