I have the 10 tray. I used an American Harvest round dehydrator for 20 years and decided to upgrade to a larger one that has square trays instead of round. It’s been great so far. I did 25 lbs of venison jerky last fall that everyone loved. I would recommend it.

The good: Price was right on ExpertVoice, glass door so you can see progress, lightweight, digital temp display.

Only con: It’s a lot larger and bulkier than my old American Harvest.

I have the 10 tray. I've only used it 2x, but it's pretty awesome from what I have found.

Ended up going with the 6 tray. Wife wanted something smaller to store.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

That will make plenty.

6 tray dehydrator is fairly compact. Wife did some basil in it . Worked better than our old one . Does kick out some heat off front of machine. Happy with it so far . Will be making jerky soon

Any problems with the chrome plated trays? I've been looking at the LEM with stainless trays because I figured the chrome plating would flake off at some point.

I prefer the oven st at 200 degrees, crack the door, and use Lucky liquid Marinade. Fast and East and delicious.

Do you set it on bake or convection?

Bake but convection would work fine as well, just a bigger workout for that fan.
