Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, White – MADE IN USA
Dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours instead of days. The unit’s patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even, and nutritious drying. Flavors don’t mix, and there’s no need to rotate the trays. It’s top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food’s nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit’s adjustable thermostat ranged from 95 degrees to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results. It’s a 600 watts unit. Five trays come included, but the unit can be expanded to 12 trays (additional trays sold separately) for drying larger quantities at one time. Accessories include two fruit roll sheets, perfect for drying semi-liquids like soups, sauces, and fruit rolls; two Clean-A-Screen flexible screens, which allow for easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices and potpourri; and three original jerky spice packets for making jerky. A 52-page recipe and instruction book also comes included. With a speckled gray design, the food dehydrator measures approximately 13-inch by 13-inch by 10-inch. FD-75A is Frustration free packaging and FD-75PR is retail packaging.

Great dehydrator but temp is way off… I bought this dehydrator sort of like many people did: after reading the things you can do with it, I got all excited, thinking, “I’m going to dehydrate EVERYTHING and it’s going to be amazing!!!” Of course, in reality that doesn’t really happen. When people say you’ll use it for a while and then it will collect dust, I totally get how that could happen. Fingers crossed, it hasn’t happened to me yet.So, from my point of view, I see a number of excellent things about this…
After purchasing a year ago, I couldn’t be more pleased with this product. I purchased this item a year ago and I could not be happier with it, the product in question, has exceeded my highest expectations. This is the best food dehydrator I have ever owned. I feel this way for several reasons.The 1st being the fact that it can dehydrate everything from beef to apples, you will be absolutely astounded at how fast the product can complete the dehydration process. I’ve owned dehydrators that can take days to complete the drying process, this product can do what…
A very good product with minor flaws I imported this Nesco 75PR dehydrator to Brazil, so I can tell you how it behaves in very humid climates like we have here, where we get normally 90% air humidity, specially in the summer. I bought a power consumption measuring device to attach between the dehydrator and my power source to check how much power it drains. I guess this data possibly may interest you. Many people say the power consumption is not high, but how high/low it is? I have done some tests and I think I have the answer for…
