Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Sorry for the length but since nobody has reviewed yet... Ok, so we've come a long way since the dehydrators of my childhood. This machine is beautiful, and would look nice to just sit on the counter regularly if you have the space. I've already tested it out on an apple and it's brilliantly simple to use. The recipe book is nice too and my wife and I are already planning some turkey jerky for later tonight! I am posting pictures as well to clarify a few things. It changes temps in increments of 9 degrees. This makes for some strange numbers (I did my apples at 131F) but there's no reason why you'd need finer tuned temperatures, that I can see. The manual indicates that the far right side of the panel displays "remaining time". This is not the simplest way to phrase what is displayed. It actually counts up in hours until the number of hours programmed is completed. (This makes no difference for the actual use of the product, hence still 5 stars; But, it may make you think the machine isn't working since it says "time remaining 00H" for the whole first hour. After an hour, it says "remaining time 01H" See pics.) Since I'm sure some moron is going to say it smells terrible like plastic (because some moron always says this about every plastic product) I'll say it first. When you open it, it smells like plastic. When you first turn it on, it smells like plastic. BUT IT GOES AWAY after half an hour. Seriously. And I didn't even wash the trays (the manual says you should) and the apples were delicious. Show me a plastic product that doesn't smell when you get it. One other thing, There are actually 11 trays. ten regular ones and an extra with rods in it to hang meats and salami. :) Pros: Even Reliable Dehydrating, Looks beautiful to complement Kitchen Price is great for what you get Set and Forget Cons: Confusingly phrased "remaining time" Overall: Go for it. Best product I've seen for the price, by far. (I'll throw this in as well: Great customer service. When I thought it wasn't working because of the remaining time thing, they were ready to replace the unit on the spot. But it was unnecessary (see above)
