Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 September 5, 2008
This is a drying machine for sure. It's a little loud and generates a lot of heat. I found if I just put it in another room and close the door I can live with it.Does a great job of drying. Makes great healthy fruit roll ups. I never knew drying food was so easy without sulfides too.

FD-1010 Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator August 30, 2008

I ordered this so that I could dehydrate a lot of the veggies we are growing in our garden, as we can't eat them fast enough. I picked this one due to cost and the amount of positive reviews it had received. We have not had a chance to use it to dehydrate veggies yet, but we did make beef jerky and it works great for that. Took about 5 1/2 - 6 hours for a little less than 5 pounds of meat. The only thing about this dehydrator that I would change would be how many trays it comes with, as it needs at least 2 to 4 more, I guess I will be ordering those soon, and the location of the fan and vents on the bottom. Drippings can get in there easily and it makes it hard to clean up. Maybe if there was a way to open it up in the base to make it easier to clean. Still a great product and easy to use. The trays clean up a lot easier that I thought they would, but I lightly coated them with olive oil to ensure nothing would stick, that might have helped.

Great new tool August 25, 2008
This dehydrator comes with a handy booklet with drying temperatures in lists. Make sure to use it in a separate room, b/c it is loud and hot.

Great Dehydrator August 13, 2008
This dehydrator works great. This is the only one I have ever had, so I have nothing to compare it to, but so far so good. I solved the noise problem by putting it in the laundry room and I can't even hear it in there. I have made fruit roll ups, dried tomatoes, peaches, apples, and jerky. They have all been great. It is a great way to feed children fruit because the fruit becomes sweeter as it dries.

Noise suggestion August 10, 2008
I have used the product for a few years making jerky, dehydrating fruits for granola, and drying wild mushrooms. So far, so good and I give 4 stars instead of 5 only because I would like to have a "fan only" setting without any heat.

Anyway, I decided to post a review because I just stumbled across a way to cut the noise down quite a bit. Sitting on the kitchen counter, the product is somewhat loud and annoying. But sitting on a milk crate over carpet, it is certainly less noticeable. I think that much of the noise comes out of the bottom of the unit and that the milk crate / carpet set-up causes much of the noise to be absorbed rather than bouncing around the room.

I needed and bought additional trays and screens and think these pieces of plastic are over priced. However, I'm still happy and would buy it all again.
