5-Tray

Works very well, great value for the money, the plastic material is light weight yet sturdy enough to handle very warm/hot air blowing for 12+ hours straight. This is a fairly quiet unit. Because is has several layers, you're able to dehydrate many fruits/ veggies/ meats at a time. The size is fairly compact because it's stacking.. I use this to make liver dog treats for my dog. Have also tried dehydrating apples, pineapples, beets, etc. Would recommend getting the item(s) you want to dehydrate as dry as possible first. This will cut down your dehydrating time.

So far I have made pounds and pounds of beef, pork and chicken jerky. Many of the batches have been jerky cure free, only cured with the drying process and temperature. All batches have turned out great and the dogs absolutely love having meat jerky treats. The kids also like the jerky without the cure because it’s flavorful but less salty. I have yet to get fruit roll ups or fruit strips to do like I want yet though. That’s more on me than the dehydrator I think. It also drives very quickly. It states a 6 to 8 hour dry time but I’ve had batches from start to finish in 4 1/2 or five hours. As far as function, it is very simple to operate just load it and hit the button and come back when it dings. Makes high-quality jerky extremely affordable as well as tasty and nutritious

I recently purchased the COSORI Pioneer Food Dehydrator with 5 BPA-Free Trays (Model # CFD-N051-W), and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way!Firstly, I used this dehydrator to preserve the mangoes from the tree in my front yard, and the results were simply amazing. The dehydrator worked flawlessly, leaving me with perfectly dehydrated mangoes that tasted just as delicious as the fresh ones. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.One of the standout features of this dehydrator is its temperature control. It was incredibly easy to use, allowing me to adjust the temperature to the perfect setting for each batch of fruits I dehydrated. Whether it was delicate fruits or heartier vegetables, the temperature control offered precise adjustments, ensuring consistent and thorough drying.Cleaning the dehydrator was a breeze as well. The 5 BPA-free trays were easy to remove and clean, and the materials used in its construction made the whole process hassle-free. This is a big plus for me, since I prefer spending more time enjoying the results of my dehydrating efforts than on tedious cleanup.Another noteworthy aspect of this COSORI food dehydrator is the noise level. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it operated. I could barely hear the machine working, which was a significant relief compared to some other kitchen appliances I've used in the past. This makes it perfect for dehydrating overnight or during quiet moments when I don't want to disturb the household.In conclusion, I highly recommend the COSORI Pioneer Food Dehydrator to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly dehydrator. Its excellent temperature control, ease of cleaning, and quiet operation make it a top-notch choice for preserving fruits, vegetables, and more. I can't wait to explore more dehydrating possibilities with this wonderful appliance!

Works very well! super simple, set the temp and time and let it do its thing. Not only that this unit is less than half the cost of most of the other dehydrators that I have found on here. Also, this one is expandable; we added 5 trays, which just makes it taller and still works the same. Top shelf seems to get the same treatment as the bottom shelf. I think we typically have 8 trays/shelves going at the same time. Primarily for me, it's jerky, my wife makes strawberry leather from real strawberries minced with a blender and whatever else, which are very addictive, and we end up eating all of the leather in just 1 day.

This is a good product for the price. Has temp control and timer... Easy to clean and easy to use. Works great!
