VIVOHOME Food Dehydrator Machine, 8 Trays Meat Hydrator with 48H Digital Timer and Temperature Adjustable 95-176℉ for Fruit Vegetable Beef Jerky Maker, BPA Free, Silicone Trivet Tong Included, Silver

Needed a dehydrator and Amazon is where I go for everything! Best prices and such a wide variety of products! It works great, not noisy and durable.

It works very well but make sure you read the instructions before you use it. I would recommend to friends.

After researching many dehydrators, Vivo HOME is the best value and an incredible food dehydrator! Being new to dehydrating food I wanted to ensure I wasn't wasting money and buying quality. Vivo HOME brings tremendous value. Beautiful machine. Size is perfect. I got the 5 tray. However, I now wish I bought the 8 tray! Love how quiet it is, the performance, and especially the auto shut off. All of the controls are easy to use and the temperature is consistent from tip to bottom. They did an excellent job designing the dehydrator and the instructions are step by step, easy to follow. I have dehydrated, apples, peaches strawberries, bananas, and an herb, Mullein for tea. VivoHOME includes some recipes as well. Nice touch. They provide everything you need to kick off your dehydrating addiction...lol. Enjoy!

Simple instructions. Easy to put together. Yes, I can hear the fan and it’s a nice relief when it’s done, but it’s not at all obnoxious. The downside to this is the temperature settings. You turn the dial to set the temperature but it is not exact. For instance, if I want 150, a turn to the left gives me 140. A turn to the right is 158. You can’t reach 150! Another issues we have is wondering if it ever really gets up to temperature. Banana chips were taking a ridiculously long time so my husband put a thermometer in the unit. It stayed 10-15* lower than we’d set it. This is really only important when making jerky or other meats for food safety concerns. For my purposes, this dehydrator is working just fine and hasn’t yet been put away!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great.

Would rate with negative stars if allowable.......We are gardeners and bought this dehydrator to replace our old one. Long story short; worked great for 3 or 4 months, then it quit heating up. Contacted Vivo customer support via email with the problem. They responded with thier requirements for warranty, purchase/invoice number and a video explaining the problem. I complied immediately, and have had no response following my compliance and multiple follow up emails as to why they were failing to honor their warranty. I gave months of time for them to respond before writing this review. Glad we kept our old dehydrator to use during our harvesting of the garden. I really liked the dehydrator that Vivo sold us on Amazon and just wanted it warranted, but no. So now I am hoping Amazons customer service can get involved with resolving this problem. I would not recommend buying this dehydrator or any product from Vivo. You should buy from any other company, rather than a product from Vivo, I hope this saves someone the trouble of having to deal with these thieves!!!

Works great, easy to operate and you can do about 2lbs of beef jerky at a time.

It's smaller than I thought. However it has 8 trays which make up the difference from my old dehydrator. It's quite. I made some jerky when I received it. Did excellent.It was suppose to have a set of tones with it. They were missing.Like the looks of it. Was easy to hand wash after use. It heated up fast.
