A:Â I have only used my dehydrator for fruits and vegetables. Chicken has to be properly prepared or it can make someone sick. My friends have made beef jerky so maybe there is a way to prepare chicken safely.

Are you kidding me?
This broke after 3 months. Bought it 8/20 and it died 11/20 while I was dehydrating 6 trays of fruit. Are you kidding me? I am so DISAPPOINTED.

I liked this product very much. I've dehydrated tomatoes and herbs so far. Oh and some bananas to make them into chips. However mine didn't crisp up as I thought they would. They came out rather chewy, even after drying them for 10 hours! Two negative things I can say about the machine is that it's loud and large bodied. Other than that I'm happy with this purchase.

Good quality materials. Runs. No off switch to check trays; no heat adjustment. Browned a spot on the tray. Will try rotating next time. Heating element on top when the natural thing would have been at the bottom and let the heat rise. Don't plan on jerky; instruction say to half cook first. Legs too short to allow circulation. Strongly prefer old, old Harvest Maid dehydrator.

I'm really impressed with the performance of the Presto Dehydro...
I'm really impressed with the performance of the Presto Dehydro and I love how the shelves collapse for storage, many are simply too large for my usage. It IS noisy, it reminds me of an old fashioned hood hair dryer as far as sound but that doesn't bother me, they all tend to rumble. It has done a phenomenal job on veggies & mushrooms that I like to store for off season use. I think this dehydrator is a great value for the cash if you're in the market for a smaller one but if you have a larger family or do lots of dehydrating, I'd check out their larger models since this one only has 4 trays. I also got the fruit roll inserts, highly recommended machine and accessories.
