Seems well constructed. Ran two times already. Fruit leather and whole fruit came out great. Next day fit about 6 pounds of jerky on all but one tray. If cut a little thicker you could probably fit about 8 pounds. Functionality is easy to learn.

Only negative in my opinion so far is the design of the drip tray allows for anything close to the edge of the rack to deep into some hard to clean spots.

Sahara Folding Dehydrator (Stainless Steel Shelves)

First dehydrator we have purchased. Most are so large and need so much storage space when not in use. We really like this one. It is easy to set up and take down. It folds down to a much more convenient size for storing. The zippered storage bag for the shelves is an added bonus. It helps to keep everything together when stored. We did order two Silicone Drying Mats. So helpful for keeping those small herbs on the shelves.

This is the best dehydrator I've owned in the last 30 years, and I've had many.

The Sahara takes no space to store. Appreciate the case for the racks, etc. And this can all be set up in a snap. Love the temperature control dial and the timer. Works great.

Looking forward to this year in the garden...I plan on dehydrating most everything! Still have try jerky in this.

Thank you for making a quality tool for the kitchen.

I bought this dehydrator because it folds up and I have limited counter space. I'm not mechanically inclined but it is very easy to set up and fold away. It's really well designed. I also wanted a dehydrator with a filter as I dry yeast (kveik) and having a fan only option was also important. It hardly uses any power on the fan setting. It does make some noise when it's running but it's not loud. The customer service is excellent, shipping hours after I ordered and promptly answering questions even before I purchased it. Well made and worth the money.
