Know before you buy
Yes, the unit is constructed from 22-gauge 304 food-grade stainless steel, including the trays. This ensures a durable, BPA-free environment for your food that won't off-gas during the heating process.
Horizontal airflow pushes air evenly across all eight trays from back to front. This design prevents flavor transfer between different foods and ensures consistent drying without needing to rotate the trays manually.
The analog controls are designed for simplicity and reliability. While they lack a digital display, they offer tactile, straightforward adjustments for both the temperature range of 50° to 175° F and the 27-hour timer.
The unit features a balanced fan designed for quiet operation. While it is not silent, it is engineered to run unobtrusively, making it suitable for use in a kitchen without causing significant noise disruption.
The interior is designed for easy maintenance with removable parts. Because the unit is made of stainless steel, you can easily wipe down the surfaces, and the removable trays are simple to clean in the sink.
The Green-Stat thermostat is an energy-efficient feature that helps maintain consistent temperatures while minimizing power consumption. It cycles the heating element effectively to keep your energy usage lower during long dehydration sessions.
