I bought this one after reading many reviews...If you consider yourself more than the casual jerky hobbyist and your budget allows for a $50-$200 investment, take a look at the EXCALIBUR DEHYDRATOR line of products. These units are premium quality for the home user; equipped with a variable temperature control and an analog timer as well as large multiple trays. Best of all these units incorporate a horizontal air flow technology. That is the air flows from the back of all trays simultaneously to the front of all trays. This gives even cooking and no rotating as well as about a 6 hours cook time versus 8-10 for circular stackable units. I love this unit, and I make a lot of jerkey treats, not only for my dogs, but for family too, especially during deer season...elk and venison jerkey, have I died and gone to heaven????!!!! |
