About Elite Gourmet Food Dehydrator, Adjustable Temperature Controls
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
84% were impressed with the temperature range, whereas 16% weren't
My only complaint is that the temperature selection is a series of ranges, but I knew that before purchasing it, so it's not a big issue.
I noticed that the dehydrator was not reaching the temperature at the numbers I set it at. I cranked it all the way up and it got about 20 degrees hotter than the dial claims is the max temp.
The highest setting of the dehydrator is 140-158 F, but it couldn't maintain the temperature above 125 F even after several hours with meat in it. Anything lower than 140 F allows dangerous bacterial growth.
83% appreciated the temperature control , yet 17% didn't
Using a dehydrator is more energy efficient and reliable with temperature controls than using an oven.
I am impressed with the temperature control of this dehydrator. It has two tray height settings and maintains a consistent temperature throughout the cycle. I even checked the temperature with an infrared thermometer.
I had to crank up the temperature to get the desired numbers and it exceeded the max temperature by 20 degrees.
71% liked the size and design, but 29% desired more
The trays have large spacing and anything small falls right through, making it less than ideal for drying small beans, berries or fruit pieces.
70% highlighted the silent operation
I found the dehydrator to be quiet. I used it to dehydrate some bananas after doing the initial cleaning.
75% liked the capacity
I was able to dehydrate the jerky to my preferred moisture content of 6% without any issues, indicating the dehydrator has good capacity.
I can easily fit two 1 Kg filament spools by cutting out the centers of trays, except for the bottom one.
70% found the airflow system helpful, while 30% encountered issues
After using the dehydrator for a few hours, I noticed a significant reduction in stringing of PLA and PETG filament and oozing from the printer nozzle.
I have compared this dehydrator with others I have used over the years and found that it has two tray height settings and spot-on temperature control.
Even after several hours with meat in it, the temperature did not go higher than 125 F. This may be due to the dehydrator's airflow system.
