Best rating dryers of vegetables, fruits and mushrooms (dehydrators)

A multi-purpose model that dries everything without unnecessary complications: fruits, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, meat. The power of 520 W is the “golden mean”, especially for that kind of money, because even expensive analogs have a power below this. Built-in overheating protection switches off the heating element at the right time. Coupled with mechanical control, this provides the device with several years of stable operation.

The leader in its price category: the largest number of pallets (6 pieces), maximum power (600 W) and capacity (30 liters). Large quantities of crops can be dried quickly and economically in terms of energy consumption. There are two versions of this model - electronically controlled in an opaque plastic case and mechanically controlled in transparent plastic.

Larger trays are the way to go if you like large pieces. The trays are made of high quality plastic. In the case of dryers, plastic is not a disadvantage, but an advantage, because the metal case overheats and dries unevenly, and it weighs much more. It happens in a version with 5 or 3 pallets: if there are few blanks planned, then too much drying is unnecessary.

The key feature is a wide range of temperature conditions: no other drying has the ability to work at such a low temperature, usually the minimum is 30 degrees, and here - 15. An important point: conventional dryers are designed for the fact that you will periodically change pallets in places ( for uniform processing), but this model, with a power of 500 W, can cope without permutations.

Small but roomy vegetable grinder. Dries as needed: evenly, without burning and dampness. It is very convenient that there is a timer and an electronic control panel. It is worth noting the good distance between the trays: large pieces can be placed. Any drying needs to be washed after each use, so ease of disassembly and cleaning is an important advantage of this model.

A device for professionals who have appreciated simple dryers and are ready to move to a new level. Experienced gardeners note the good location of the fan, which ensures even and quick drying of even juicy fruits. There are special small nets for herbs and trays with high sides. Available in steel and plastic trays.
