Size, Air Flow, Durability and Quality of Nesco and Price, NO other Dehydrator Can Beat Them.
This is my second Nesco Dehydrator. My first one is really old, and it works great, as this one will, I am sure. We had such a huge crop of fruit that I had to invest into a second one. Thank you Nesco, the quality, you can count on NESCO. Its such a hard worker, great price, durability. I fill them probably to full, yet the air flow, its magic.

Very nice dehydrator.
Very nice dehydrator. Works really well and it has a very good temperature range, which is easy to set. It has good air flow, which is super important. Also it's easy to clean. I bought the round one because I have another one and the trays are interchangeable. In my opinion never buy one without temperature settings.

Works great!
I've only had this for a month. Didn't want to waste a bumper crop of grape tomatoes so thought I would dehydrate them. WOW! I am not one to pop a grape tomato in my mouth, but I could eat the dehydrated tomatoes right out of the jar. I have dehydrated 4 batches of tomatoes, chives, oregano and basil. All came out perfect, though it did take longer for the chives to dehydrate than expected. It does make that "hair dryer on low" sound, but I just stuck it in the guest room. It is also very large. Think of where you might store it before purchasing. I am looking forward to dehydrating some pineapple and apples with this soon.

Great Dehydrator!
The Nesco FD-61 food dehydrator does an outstanding job for my dehydration needs. I bought this after my previous dehydrator (Nesco FD-60) finally stopped working after more than 20 years of use. So far, it works just as well, if not better. The jerky and fruits that I have dried have come out fairly uniform in consistency and drying time has been spot on with the guidelines in the instruction and recipe manual. I hope it lasts as long as my previous dehydrator!

Great Dehydrator
I bought the SnackMaster Encore, Model # FD-61, to replace my 25 yr old one that had been a gift from my father. This is a very good unit to dry herbs, fruits, veggies, and flowers. It is very easy clean-up since the blower is top-mounted instead of at the bottom. My old one had the blower at the bottom so it was always full of seeds and/or sticky juices which were very hard to clean up. Having the items with suggested temps listed on the blower unit is helpful. This unit is also much quieter than my older model. & my husboan really appreciates that feature! It holds up to 12 trays so I can do multiple types of fruits/veggies/herbs at one time. The Recipe & instruction manual is also very helpful, esp. if you are a novice at dehydrating. I also bought the Nonstick Round Silicone Dehydrator Sheets which help with the cleanup.

This is our 2 model of this dehydrator. We wore out our 1st one after 8 years of use. During the summer we use the dehydrator all the time. It is very reliable.

Please be aware that this comes with a US plug and not UK plug. It is also not the right voltage for the UK so can't be used unless you buy a seperate adapter which are bulky. Dealing with the supplier to try and sort it out. They claimed that it was clear in the listing (they may have changed it since) but it certainly wasn't.

This product is amazing - I have been making apple chips since the day it arrived. Great seller - product survived shipping - no damage and arrived within the suggested arrival window. These machines are great fun and everyone loves the end result - and it’s healthy. So glad I got it!
