Amazon.com Review
Drying apple slices in just five hours and beef jerky in seven, this 425-watt dehydrator is exceptionally fast for its price range. Its patented hot-air circulation system ensures not only speed but uniformity, so foods dry evenly. Each of the five trays is 13-1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep (the plastic dehydrator stands 10 inches high), providing more than 12 square feet of tray space for drying lots of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers at one time. Available separately is a two-tray accessory pack that expands the dehydrator to seven trays. Also available separately are accessories for drying fruit rolls, soups, and sauces and for making jerky from ground meat. Accompanying the dehydrator is a detailed instruction booklet with a drying-time chart for various foods and recipes for cooking with dried foods. --Fred Brack

I'm just loving this dehydrator! October 31, 2008
I would have given it a five star but the trays are just too big for my dishwasher and it's a pain to wash them in my small sink but other than that small inconvenience I extremely happy with the product. The noise from the fan is loud but not overbearing or I'm just not that sensitive to noise.

Nesco American Harvest 5-Tray FD-35 425-Watt Snackmaster Dehydrator
I am glad that I read the reviews for this product. I was leaning toward other dehydrators until reading the reviews. I am very happy with my purchase and I am enjoying the treats that I am making by drying fruit. Make sure that you leave enough room around the machine because the area will get hot. Very easy cleanup. Great product at a great price.
Considered buying the FD-35 but instead bought the better FD-39 October 30, 2008
I was really thinking about purchasing this product until I found the FD-39 which is basically the same thing except it is 500 watts and the trays are clear so that you can see the progress rather than stopping the machine and opening it up to see (BIG +). My FD-39 dries things ultra fast and is not as hot as I expected it to get. It is VERY LOUD, almost like a tiny hair dryer (basically what it is). It has vents on top as well as the bottom (you can literally feel the humidity as the air comes out). So far I have gotten extremely great results for everything I threw at it. The FD-35 is very common but the FD-39 can only be purchased at Nesco for $[...] or at Walmart (Bought mine here) for $[...] I could not find the FD-39 anywhere else. It does it's job in half the time and it never has to stop until you literally see the results that you are satisfied with. Another plus is that Walmart's return policy is quick and easy if you should encounter any problems with the unit. Hope this helps anyone who is considering getting a Nesco Food Dehydrator. [...]
Great for Beef Jerky October 6, 2008
I bought this little dehydrator about a year ago because I wanted to try making beef jerky.
On the plus side, the dehydrator does a really great job. I have only made beef jerky, but it is outstanding. The trays are big enough to handle quite a bit of beef. I bought extra trays and I can fit 4-5 lbs of meat in a batch.
The only minus is that it's a little noisy (about like a microwave or a little louder). The smell of the food sort of permeates the house when in use, and it takes 5-6 hrs to make the jerky. So, I tried putting it our guest bathroom with the vent on, but it overheats and stops working in enclosed spaces.
Overall it is an awesome unit. It makes me wonder what is so great about these $100+ units I see. I recommend this for the casual dehydrator.
good stuff, but takes too much time to dry fruits October 3, 2008
it works well. all the dried fruits taste good. but it takes much longer than i had anticipated. dried tomatos for instance, it will take about 12-14 hours.
