We have used a smaller, lesser model RONCO food dehydrator for years and thought the 700W NESCO would be a big step up. It had advertised features that suggested it would work faster and more efficiently than the "cheaper" models, including a fan to force heated air more uniformly through the drying trays without constant rotation, and a thermostat to set the temperature settings. Actual experience varied, however, as the unit did not seem to dehydrate the food contents any faster than the 120W RONCO convection dryer. While it was said to dry foods in a fraction of the time that a cheaper unit would require to do it, our experience has not been consistent with this expectation. The NESCO is an atractive unit with seemingly nice features, but our experience with its performance suggests it is about the same as any other similar unit. I've never owned or used a dehydrator before now. I asked a friend who's father owns one to ask about his and he recommended the Nesco company. I ended up reading millions of reviews for several days before committing to one. I chose this one because it was more watts than others in the price range and I can control the temperature and the good reviews on several websites seemed to be good. I bought it from Amazon. A trip to the hardware store solved the problem with no timer. I have one of those little outlet adapters to turn the thing off when I want. I couldn't be happier with this model. I'm a total beginner and this thing rocks. it hasn't been off since xmas. raw food has just got so easy. I'm sure there are other great dehydrators for the price, but I'm totally stoked on this one. My kids have a restless reaction to foods that contain red dye 40. My wife and I limit their exposure when we can. An example is a particular fruit snack that did not contain this dye. Recently, they changed their ingredients and so we are left with no options on the snack isle. We figured we could entertain their cravings by making homemade fruit leathers. The ability to make jerky was a bonus for me. I ordered another brand that I thought was going to do the job, but once it arrived I found the construction to be subpar and it was passive, requiring rotation of the trays. I immediately sent it back to Amazon. Thats when I ordered this Nesco unit. It is powerful, and effective. I have used it a number of times and made some really good jerky and fruit leathers. I have tried a couple of the seasonings and absolutely love them. Order this and you can't go wrong. As others have said, this machine suffers from a lack of not only a timer, but the simple addition of a power switch. Odd that something which requires careful timing, would not have a built in timer.
Otherwise it functions well. Directions are a bit vague, so everything we have dried has been an adventure. For instance, it took us about 2 1/2 days to dry grapes into raisins. Good raisins. But I can only imagine that by the time you add the power costs, boxed raisins would have been a lot cheaper.
The Nesco American Harvest FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator is wonderful for making beef jerky. We use their Nesco homemade beef jerky spices, variety pack, and mix the flavors to our taste. Haven't tried ground beef jerky. We slice ours. And the directions for doing that are again a bit vague, but it's not difficult, and the results are fantastic.
Clean up isn't bad. If you can't fit the trays into the top rack of your dishwasher, washing by hand is a bit of a chore, and after a batch of jerky, requires a good soak in the sink. But overall, since we purchased it primarily for making jerky, we are pleased with this item.
