STX-DEH-600W-SST Dehydra 10 Tray Food and Jerky Dehydrator with 40 Hour Timer, 600W, Stainless Steel

I love this dehydrator. It's very easy to opporate, well made and has a sleeker look than many of the other dehydrators. The price is outstanding especially for all stainless steel construction. So far it works great for me. It is tall enough you can remove trays and culture yogurt. I researched for a while and decided to order this model and I'm very pleased!

Was very excited to get this. Do not buy!! First we tried apples, took about 25 hours to dry them each round for the first 4-5 times. Then it started to take 35-40 hours and they were still moist. Now after 40 hours it wont even dry peppers. Have tried several settings, the instructions are vague and the door does not really close. The door just hangs and rattles as the unit heats. I have tried to contact the company, no response. Can't get in touch with Amazon, so I now have a very expensive dust collector. I have a small round dehydrator that is very in-expensive, apples take 10-15 hours depending on thickness and no rattling noises. Very disappointed, will not buy anything from this company again.

This is the first dehydrator I've owned. I opted for the STX over other less expensive brands due to it being a convective oven, the available space, compact design, and that it is made of stainless steel. I've used it a few times over the last 30 days, since I've had this product. The results were very good, although I've only dried meats, and have yet to do vegetables and fruits. I'm somewhat disappointed at the low quality of workmanship, especially the door, which seems to just hang on the oven versus attaching to it. I actually thought I was doing something wrong, and when I read the directions, there were no instructions regarding the oven cover. In fact, the instructions are vague, leaving much to guesswork. I also received an email with an updated explanation on how to set the temperature and timing on the unit from the manufacturer after the equipment was shipped . I can work with Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions, but the guide provides Fahrenheit temps and the equipment is in Celsius - a minor issue. My advice is to research the products available, don't settle for anything short of a convective unit with temperature and timing controls, and if the cost is a little bit higher, spend the money. That's exactly what I thought I was doing. I am happy with the performance of this dehydrator, but I wouldn't buy it again.

I dehydrated pineapple on the STX side by side with a Nesco Snackmaster. I expected better things from the STX, but was disappointed when the Nesco Snackmaster did a much better job for me at a fraction of the cost. The STX took significantly longer and did not dry evenly. The timer on the control panel is a nice perk, but overall the control panel was not intuitive for new users. Training others to use it was harder than it should have been. Overall, although it is possible the STX is more durable long term, I wish hadn't spent money on the STX and had just gotten another Nesco Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator FD-75A with extra trays.

Seems like nice unit but no mention that temp can't be changed to F. Makes you feel like a fool till you find out several others have had same problem. Nothing in print but few lines to answer any questions and not open to phone or web from noon Friday till Monday.. Big help for weekend problems.

I love this because it is all Stainless Steel ; including the shelves. I think it has worked great so far, my only complaint is that the door rattles when on, but I put a small piece of painters tape when I am using it and that completely solves the issue, but they should have a latch for this. Otherwise you can't find all Stainless for this price and this size.

Great dehydrator!!! loads of tray to dehydrate on AND it proofs bread!!! It is bulky though. Hard to find a place to keep it but it is worth it to me. I love it!!!

I plugged it in to turn it on to use and it won't turn on. The buttons at the top not that manage the temperature do not work either. Wow! I paid a lot for this thing and am very angry & disappointed!
