Description
Our "Top of the Line" unit! More powerful and larger than any other. Expands to a giant 30 trays so you can dry large quantities all at once! 1000 watts of drying power means you can dry more, faster. Patented Converga-Flow® fan forces heated air up the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even and nutritious drying. No flavor mixing! No need for tray rotation.
Fast, Powerful Fan! A quiet, 2,400-RPM motor and specially designed 4-1/2 inch fan mean faster, more nutritious drying. Four times faster than dryers which have no fan or motors.

Vita-Save® Exterior! The opaque exterior blocks light to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process.

I love the machine, works well, just has a problem if you dry meat that is a bit fatty it that allows the drippings to get into the heater/blower unit. It starts to smoke a bit.Nesco Response: Greg,
We advise in our use and care manual to only use lean cuts of meat to prepare jerky.
Also the use of a fruit roll up sheet on the bottom tray is suggested to catch drippings.
This unit will not smoke if liquids are not introduced into the heating element. |

| I have had my dehydrator for a little while now and my son and I have had a blast! We've made dried apples and deer jerky so far. As far as the fruit goes, it's ok to do in the house but jerky should be done in the garage or your house will smell like jerky for weeks to come. The unit works like it's supposed to and the food comes out great although you may have to alter the temp setting and time duration. I bought this unit because my father loves his. |
