Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Excalibur 9 Tray Dehydrator - ED 2900 Dehydrater - Jerky Maker Food Dehydrator Excaliber
Customer Review: The best food dehydrator... period.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this model for over a year. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Noisy? No louder than a quiet kitchen fan, so unless you sleep in your kitchen, it shouldn't be a problem. It's important to get this nine tray model instead of the 5 tray. I always fill mine up and find myself wanting even more space (even though the thing is already huge.) You can always dry a small batch in a large dehydrator, but you can't dry a large batch in a small dehydrator. ;)
This is one of the only food dehydrators that you don't have to rotate every few hours to get everything evenly dry, and you can put things of any size in there. Worth every penny and more.
Customer Review: Love it! One of the best machines ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm lovin' my dehydrator. It's elegant, efficent and nearly perfect. Easy to load, easy to clean and provides a TON of drying space.
The fan is a little strong (blows some of my dehydrated onions right off the tray) and a little loud, but it certainly has earned its keep - the befenits far outweigh any detriments, and I am now a huge Excalibur advocate.
I didn't get the model with the timer, instead I added a Noma indoor/outdoor timer for a few bucks. It works wonderfully, and makes for one less component which could potentially go out on my dear, handy dehydrator. I'm as happy as a clam at high tide.
Customer Review: Great dehydrator
Summary: 5 Stars
I love how much space this provides. I have done so much in this thing, and they turn out great! I love that you can use it even if it isn't completely full. I have done cookies, crackers, tons of fruit!, veggies and more in this. They turn out great. It is a little loud, I usually run it in the basement or living room, but it isn't to bad. I researched a lot of dehydrators before buying, and I am really happy with this one. I feel like it has better air circulation then most, and more options for what you can do in it. It is well worth the money!Customer Review: can't wait for more!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read some reviewers complain about the dehydrator's noisiness, but when you think about what you get from it, I think this noise is very insignificant. I have a very small kitchen so when it's on, I know it. To me it's just a reminder that I'm creating my own delicious raw and earth filled goodness. I recommend this 9 tray Excaliber to any who want to make a lot at once in bigger batches. I also am using my own timed-power-switcher, easy and saved money at the time from buying even the new 5 tray Excaliber with built-in timer.Customer Review: Great Dehydrator!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good product for dehydration of food. Volume of food that can be dehydrated at one shot is good - I dehydrated 5 lbs of beef jerky in one cycle, and also dehydrated about 25 fairly large apples in one cycle. The unit has a fairly large footprint, so we store it in the basement when not using to conserve our counter space. The unit is light though, so it is not much trouble to bring it up to use. Not very noisy either... less than our dishwasher for sure!
