Magic Mill Food Dehydrator Machine - Easy Setup, Digital Adjustable Timer, Temperature Control | Keep Warm Function | Dryer for Jerky, Herb, Meat, Beef, Fruit and To Dry Vegetables

I'm so happy with this purchase. This thing is incredibly easy to use. I love that I can see inside and check on my fruit, etc. It is a great size, not too big, not tiny. Shelves are so easy to take in and out. I have dried oranges, lemons, limes, pineapple, mangoes, apples, rosemary, sage, thyme, potatoes (can't get those to turn out tasty yet). It's fun to experiment with. Comes with a great little cookbook and instruction manual but you can literally unpack it, plug it in and start using it. It's easy to clean, the timer is easy to use. Capacity is great! Lots of room.

Love this product. I bought it to help speed up the drying time of my Royal icing cookies. It worked great. Cut the drying time significantly. While running the dehydrator was quiet. I love that the racks can be removed easily. Definitely recommend this item for purchase

I had gone through three of the plastic type round dehydrators. After going through cracked trays that I couldn’t find replacements for or cost almost as much as total hydrator I decided to to invest in a more practical solution. When the new hydrator came I was a little surprised by size and weight. It was about the size and weight of my 800 watt microwave. Simple to use and the stainless steel trays are easy to clean. I am confident that the units durability will last much much longer then any I have purchased before. There is no question as to the taste of final product being dehydrated. I use mostly for making ground chicken or ground turkey treats for our pups and grand pups. So far after a week I am on the fourth pound of ground meat and (two pounds of steak strips for myself 😋😋). I feel that the way it is made and as often as I use it the value for the money is easily justified. For two pounds of ground meat it only uses four full trays and a little on the fifth. I could easily dehydrate five pounds of ground meat at a time. It dehydrates much more evenly and quicker then any of the round plastic ones I have used. However, big difference in wattage. Must make sure you do not overload the circuits you use for this unit. Another reminder is to be sure to use in an open area. It does get hot and blows out hot air on top vent. I also like the visual temp and count down timer. If your tired of using the plastic dehydrators and running into replacing the shelves then I suggest you upgrade. This unit I would recommend.

Works fast but it is tricky to set the time and temperature, which tends to go back to the original setting very quickly. But it is a quiet machine and holds a lot.

Perfect size dehydrator. 7 trays are decent size. I can fit 4 pounds of meat easily on 6 trays with a little room to spare on 2 of the trays. So it’ll fit 5 pounds for sure using the 7th tray. So much easier than the old school tower dehydrator. The fan is quiet and everything is easy to operate. It comes with 2 plastic jerky trays. Would be awesome if it came with 7 (one for each tray). Wouldn’t recommend putting stuff directly on the wire racks. But you can buy food grade silicon mats for it which are inexpensive. I bought the mats, and clean up is a breeze. Set the temp and time and pretty much forget about it. I turn my trays at halfway, but you honestly don’t need to. It evenly distributed the heat. Using the old tower dehydrator, I always had to rotate my trays from bottom to top and etc every few hours. This dehydrator makes everything simple and easy. I’ve used it a handful of times now. Started off with just one pound of meat to understand it. And now doing 4-5 pounds of meat at a time. Comes with a recipe book, which is a good reference with temps and times for a lot of stuff if you’ve never used a dehydrator. It makes it easy to just open the book and figure out what temp for what ever you are trying to make. I’m happy you can set a certain temp for a certain time and not have to constantly check on your stuff. Used a tower dehydrator for years just bc that’s how I was raised. But so glad I got this. Made my life so much easier. I no longer have to constantly check to make sure everything is getting dehydrated properly, and constantly check my tower trays. Would recommend to anyone that would like to start dehydrating things, as well as to people that have been dehydrating for years using a tower tray system. This dehydrator is worth it to me and I’ll continue to use it for as long as I can.
