Customer Reviews for Nesco Gardenmaster 8-Tray White Expandable Food Dehydrator with Recipe Book

Easy to use. Makes great fruit leather. Does everything I wanted it to do.

I love this dehydrator, I have 2 because we dry A LOT of fruit. I love them both! The shipping process with Home Depot was so fast and simple!

Exactly the product we were looking for. It works well and the price was reasonable.

I love it! Easy to clean-quick to dehydrate-very light and it comes with everything including fruit leather trays and screens for granola. I had a dehydrator that blew air top down previously and it seemed to take much longer.

nice dehydrator, with eight trays, all accessory liners and an excellent book. Fan makes some noise when running, so plan drying time and place accordingly.

Trays do not fit snug to the Base unit and this creates a gap and it is essentially garbage. Do NOT buy this unit. I only used it once and now I might as well throw it out.

Great dehydrator! My boys love it, beef jerky comes very nice and gone in a few days.

Works as advertised.throws out alot of heat and the fan is a little loud.i just put it in the spare room.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

New to gardening and this dehydrator helped tremendously to store the bounty from the field

Had to set in garage as it was quiet . Good job on drying tomatoes and peppers.

It sells as a dehydrator but it really doesn't dehydrate fruit as I had expected. It only dries.

What a great price on a well rated dehydrator! I love that it comes already with four trays and the 1000 watt blower nicely dries things quickly. I actually didn't realize it would come with all the jelly roll AND sticky matt sheets. Wowl! This was a fantastic buy at a price better than most other stores.

Received our dehydrator in a very timely way and have been dehydrating ever since. It doesn’t take up a lot of space but can hold quite a bit. I am very happy with it.

Great value and free shipping!

Yes, I am very pleased with my unit.

It arrived when it was promised and it did the job it was purchased for.

Excellent product for dehydration of garden produce.

The only negative comment I have is it's louder than I expected. Works great!

Works great for dehydrating my garden bounty!

I am disappointed in this product after reading all the pos reviews. Doesn't dry evenly and burns the top tray of food. Blows hot air out of a top hole in the lid. This design doesn't make sense to me. Back to the old excalibur. Just 4 the record, I have been doing this 20 years

Works

The temperature control doesn't seem to be very accurate and the instruction manual was not useful because it's not specific to this product. But overall it gets the job done and so far has dried our fruits and veggies evenly.

Easy to use, I love this. It’s my second.

Trays are warped and do not sit level on the base

Received my first one in 1976. Finally wore out in 2020. Kept most of the trays from first one & they fit perfectly in my new one! Highly recommend.

These are good dehydrators and I'm on my 3rd one, stacking the trays and getting a new base. My only cons are that I am on my 3rd one (I've gotten about 5 years out of each of mine, granted that I use them fairly heavily all summer) and that I can't buy just the base part anywhere (I don't need more trays at this point, so it's a waste of plastic to have to buy a kit with everything). It says you can go up to 30 trays, but I find that more than 8 doesn't work well for most things and 12 is the max for apples before your drying times slow down quite a bit. Still, a good dehydrator and I'll definitely get my money's worth out of it!

Ready to use out of the box with just a rinse of the trays. Already done strawberries and started on blueberries. Cleans easily. Good information and recipes in instruction book. Looking forward to apples. Wish Home Depot carried add on trays and other accessories.

Love it. Works great and cleans up easy
