Know before you buy
The dehydrator is engineered to run significantly quieter than standard plastic models, making it suitable for use in open-plan kitchens or overnight without causing a disturbance.
Yes, the stainless steel trays are removable. You can take out one or more trays to create extra vertical clearance for bulkier items that require more space.
While the trays are made of durable stainless steel, we recommend hand-washing them to maintain their finish and prevent potential warping or discoloration over time.
No special maintenance is required, but it is best to keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of obstructions. The unit is designed for consistent airflow, so you generally do not need to rotate trays during the cycle.
The interior is constructed with stainless steel, and the included liners and drip tray are made from BPA-free materials, ensuring your food does not come into contact with harmful plastics.
The unit features a built-in glass door, allowing you to visually check the texture and color of your food without releasing the heat and humidity trapped inside.
