It\u2019s the right size to get a lot done, but not so large it\u2019s a burden to your shelves. Plus, its sleek design will blend in with most modern kitchens.\r\n\r\nYou can see the food as it\u2019s dehydrating, and thanks to a convenient timer\u2014which you can set to work in 30-minute increments for up to 48 hours\u2014you can easily walk away and not have to worry about it (check out these other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/11-kitchen-gadgets-and-appliances-that-practically-cook-for-you\/\">kitchen appliances that practically cook for you<\/a>). It offers precision drying from 95 to 165 degrees and features six stainless steel trays, a mesh screen, a fruit roll sheet and a recipe cookbook. The test food all came out nice, crispy and with good flavor, and the accessories and features make it worth the extra money.\r\n\r\n<strong><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Strong\">Temp control<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\"><strong>:<\/strong> 95-165\u00b0F |\u202f<strong>Timer:<\/strong> Up to 48 hrs | <strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 6.5 sq. ft.\r\n<strong>Tray material<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Stainless Steel |\u202f<strong>Weight<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 22 lbs. |<strong>\u202f<\/strong><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 17 x 13 x 12 in.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pros<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Digital control panel allows for more precise temp and time<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Stainless steel trays are dishwasher safe (10 tray option also available)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Practical size with sleek design for countertop<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"\">Beginner-friendly and easy to use (no tray rotation necessary)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Includes mesh herb screen, fruit leather tray and recipe cookbook<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Relatively affordable and quiet<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Cons<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li class=\"\">Not ideal for tiny kitchens (but fortunately, it is stackable!)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Test Food Cook Times\/Temperature<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Apples: 5.5 hrs at 145<span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\">\u00b0F<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Tomatoes: 9 hrs at 125<span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\">\u00b0F<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jerky: 6 hrs at 165<span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\">\u00b0F<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/COSORI-Dehydrator-Stainless-Temperature-Compliant\/dp\/B07PY5M579?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" product_name=\"COSORI Food Dehydrator (50 Recipes) for Jerky Fruit, Meat, Dog Treats, Herbs, and Yogurt, Dryer Machine with Temperature Control, 6 Stainless Steel Trays, ETL Listed, Silver\" product_price=\"146.75\" product_category=\"Kitchen\" product_retailer=\"quickquility\" content_rating=\"\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Cosori\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/cosori.com\/products\/premium-stainless-steel-food-dehydrator-cp267-fd\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n<div class=\"listicle-card-image-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-1948239 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/TOHA24_Ronco-Food-Dehydrator_Maggie-Knoebel_01_PKedit_1.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Ronco Food Dehydrator\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Best Budget\/Best for Beginners<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Ronco Food Dehydrator<\/h3>\r\nAt such an affordable price, I was pleasantly wowed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ronco-Dehydrator-Preserver-Vegetables-Classic\/dp\/B08JQNV1BG?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ronco 5-Tray Food Dehydrator<\/a>.

And although it's compact, I was pleased to find that it still fits several portions of sliced-up food on each tray.\r\n\r\nGreat for beginners, the Ronco dehydrator features no confusing dials or knobs\u2013simply plug it in and reference the manual for proper drying times. The only downside is that the manual says to rotate the trays every 2-4 hours, which can be a little difficult considering the drying process takes so long. But with over 900 five-star ratings on Amazon, this added step is by no means a deal breaker.\r\n\r\n<strong><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Strong\">Temp control<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW139252028 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW139252028 BCX0\"><strong>:<\/strong> None |\u202f<strong>Timer:<\/strong> None | <strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 4.75 sq. ft.\r\n<strong>Tray material<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Plastic |\u202f<strong>Weight<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 5 lbs. |<strong>\u202f<\/strong><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 13 x 13 x 11 in.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pros<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Wallet-friendly<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Compact and lightweight<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Straightforward and beginner-friendly<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dishwasher safe<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"\">Very quiet<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Cons<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li class=\"\">No temp controls or timer<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"\">Tray rotation required<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Took the longest out of all models (but the low-and-slow method worked great for the final product!)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Test Food Cook Times<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Apples: 19 hrs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Tomatoes: 11 hrs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jerky: 24 hrs<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ronco-Dehydrator-Preserver-Vegetables-Classic\/dp\/B08JQNV1BG?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.wayfair.com\/kitchen-tabletop\/pdp\/ronco-classic-5-tray-dehydrator-food-preserver-quiet-operation-great-for-beef-turkey-chicken-fish-jerky-fruits-vegetables-and-more-rnc10000.html\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n<div class=\"listicle-card-image-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-1948238 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/TOHA24_Nesco-Food-Dehydrator_Maggie-Knoebel_01_PKedit_1.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Nesco Food Dehydrator\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Best Upgrade for Experienced Dehydrators<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Nesco Food Dehydrator<\/h3>\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FD-7SSD-Digital-Dehydrator-Treats-Stainless\/dp\/B0BNP7253T?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nesco 7-Tray Food Dehydrator<\/a> comes in at a very close second to our best overall-ranked Cosori model.

We've outlined the things to watch for below.\r\n<h3>Temperature Control<\/h3>\r\nA good dehydrator should have an adjustable thermostat, allowing the user to set exact temperatures from 80 to 140 degrees (some options provide an extended range of up to 200 degrees). The more control you have over the temperature, the greater the range of foods you can make and the more customization you'll have for your recipes (be they ones you make yourself or find online). The range of temperatures will also determine how quickly your dehydrator works\u2014the higher the temp, the faster it'll go (although if you go too high, you'll end up baking the food instead of simply drying it, so watch out for that).\r\n<h3>Capacity, Expandability and Size<\/h3>\r\nIt's important to look for models that offer ample space for the food you'd like to dry\u2014several highly rated countertop devices offer multiple trays. Remember that because food needs to be separated and never stacked during dehydration, something as small as a single sliced apple can take up lots of room. Some models even offer expandability\u2014meaning you can add more racks than the dehydrator comes with (although you want to pay attention to the maximum expandability, as there are limits to how many extra trays you can add). Furthermore, larger models (and those that can be expanded) take up more space, so you'll want to ensure you have the room on your countertops (as well as storage) for a larger device if that's what you're considering.\r\n<h3>Heat Distribution and Airflow<\/h3>\r\nFood dehydrators are usually orientated in one of two ways: horizontally or vertically. Horizontal models usually have a heating element and fans on the back, blowing hot air horizontally across their trays. In contrast, vertical models have the fan and heating element on the bottom and aimed upward. Typically, horizontal models take up more space overall, but they are more efficient (especially with large volumes of ingredients). Vertical models are better for space-saving but less efficient, as the airflow is reduced with each tray above the elements\/fans.\r\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW133319467 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW133319467 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 3\">Materials and Build Quality<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW133319467 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThis applies to the dehydrator's body construction and the trays themselves. Although more budget-friendly options may be made from plastic, they won't last as long as other, more expensive metal models\u2014usually stainless steel (which may be dishwasher-safe, making for even easier cleaning). Metal trays and housings are also typically easier to clean than their plastic counterparts, but (as mentioned) they're also usually more expensive.\r\n<h3>Displays\/Controls<\/h3>\r\nSome dehydrators have very barebones displays\/controls\u2014usually simple dials. Other fancier options might have digital displays or even smart controls (so you can control it from your smartphone via an app, for instance). You'll want to decide how vital these features are to you, as the more technologically advanced the device is, the more expensive it will be\u2014but that doesn't necessarily mean it works better, just that it might be more convenient.\r\n<h3>Budget and Warranty<\/h3>\r\nWhile plenty of decent-to-great food dehydrators can be had on a budget, this is ultimately a luxury category. The more you're able to spend, the more bells and whistles your dehydrator will have\u2014things like smart controls and the like. Furthermore, a higher price usually means a larger capacity (but you should ensure you have the space for it if you're looking at larger devices). Watch for the warranty length and what it covers, as this will determine whether you can get the manufacturer's assistance if something goes wrong with your dehydrator (and some warranties require you to register your device before you use it).\r\n<h3>Ease-of-Use and Maintenance<\/h3>\r\nYou must keep your dehydrator clean like any other kitchen appliance. Ones that are harder to disassemble for cleaning will ultimately have a shorter overall lifespan, as the increased difficulty in getting them apart inevitably means they're harder to keep clean. You don't want to toy with food waste, as that's a good way to potentially make yourself (and whoever you're serving food to) ill. The easier a dehydrator is to clean, the more use you can likely get out of it. The simpler they are to put together and take apart, the better.\r\n<h3>Noise Level<\/h3>\r\nWhile it won't affect the device's overall quality\/capabilities, the noise level of a dehydrator might affect your tolerance for using it in your home. Higher-end models will tend to be better insulated and quieter overall. Less expensive models, especially plastic ones, will likely run fairly loud, so you'll want to consider how much ambient noise you can tolerate before buying.\r\n<h3>Additional Accessories<\/h3>\r\nAs mentioned above, a dehydrator might have numerous additional accessories\u2014including drip trays, spatulas, herb racks, etc. These could be a make-or-break situation if you want to dry specific foods, so pay attention to what's included with your purchase. Not all dehydrators include an auto-timer, so you'll want to watch for that (models without an auto-timer will require you to turn it on and off manually). Furthermore, some dehydrators have a transparent door, which allows you to actually look at the food you're dehydrating\u2014which can allow you to gauge how dry it is without opening the device and losing a bunch of heat. Additionally, many of these things can be purchased separately, should you have a specific dehydrator in mind that doesn't come with them on its own.\r\n<h2>Why You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1773509 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/maggie-knoebel-HS.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"Maggie Knoebel\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs <span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/author\/maggie-knoebel\/\">associate recipe editor\/tester<\/a>,<\/span> I test and prepare recipes for <em>Taste Recipes<\/em>'s photo and video studios.
