Has anyone tried the dehydrator from walmart? I was doing some shopping and passed by the isle where they have the blenders and such and found a dehydrator… ive been meaning to buy one but i was going for the excalbur one but this one was only $40 and i figured i’ld give it a try. compared to $300 i’ld try this one first. is there a better one out there that you use?

    I owned an Excalibur for 10 years before selling them. It has provided all those years of service without breaking down. If ever something goes like the thermostat or element I know I can easily obtain a replacement part and install it myself. If ever I broke a door or a tray I can easily obtain a replacement part. The first dehydrator I had was a Ronco. Poor quality and poor circulation. I agree with chakra essence. Here in Canada as in the U.S. were giving away our jobs and incomes in looking to buy cheap. If it can be done cheaper and for greater profit from Asia shops here are closed up and people laid off so we can buy cheap and buy more.

    I own the Nesco one and I did buy it from Walmart and love it. I even bought extra trays and stuff from the Nesco website afterwards so I could make more and stack it higher.

    The plastic insert trays are very good and easy to get crackers off of and it’s quiet and easy to clean. For the money it’s a great value and works really well. The complaints I have about it is that it doesn’t come with height extensions and you need to buy those off the website to dehydrate anything more than like an inch and a half tall, and also I wish it wasn’t round.

    Other than that I have high praises for it and I use it almost every other day.
