Rosewill RHFD-15001 5-Tray Countertop Portable Electric Food Fruit Dehydrator with Adjustable Thermostat

Pros: Very simple and to-the-point user interface. 'On/Off' & 'Temp'.

Cons: Fan noise. On the plus side, it reminds me the unit is on.

Pros: This is basically a heater and a fan placed underneath some plastic trays with large holes to keep food warm and well ventilated, which is really all you need to dry out food rapidly. It's much better than keeping an oven on low heat for many hours or other improvised alternatives. The instruction booklet gives recommended drying times for various foods. Time can vary from 6-36 hours to dry completely depending on what you use and how much moisture there is and what you set it to (temp control ranges from 90--160 farenheit)

Cons: The trays do not heat evenly so you will need to rearrange them halfway through drying process (the bottom trays will dehydrate more quickly than top trays

Overall Review: Trays are easy to move around. It comes with a few plastic trays with smaller holes and one with no holes that you can place on top of the other trays.

Pros: This thing fit 2lbs of bottom round steak for beef jerky and it is g' dang delicious. Cooked at highest setting for a little under 4 hours. I also made banana chips, apple chips, and salt & vinegar zucchini chips all within the first week of owning.

Cons: Rosewill is void of cons.

Pros: Easy to set up and use. It's not the biggest of the meanest but all I have in mind to use it for is to make beef jerky. I've made 2 batches so far and they've turned out great. If I'm only using 2 trays it's probably not necessary to rotate them but I do anyway. Great product at a great price. I've got a computer case, power supply, speakers, and now a dehydrator that has the rosewill logo. Is there anything they won't make?

Cons: None so far

Pros: A little slower that other machines but then I wanted the slowness to maintain control on the drying level of the meat. Put the thicker cuts on the bottom so you get a more even drying without having to shift a lot. There is lots of room in this dryers and I was pleased with the amount of meat it could handle. Clean up is easy and quick. Nice compact design. Great machine for when you get sick of beef jerky 2 months from now and you won't have a $300 machine sitting around gathering dust.

Cons: None really........I guess you could find a problem with any machine...so far this will do what I want it to.

Overall Review: I ordered this on Sunday and it came Tuesday. I like that Newegg is using rockets to deliver with now.

Cons: The new dehydrator I received has a variable temperature setting that is supposed to work from 95 degrees F to 158 F. The unit will not heat more than 130 F and all temp settings are several degrees off. Each setting also fluctuates between 2-5 degrees at each setting while the unit is working which does not give consistent temperatures. If you need consistency I can't recommend this product. Your mileage may vary....

Overall Review: I bought this for drying/dehumidifying filament for 3D printing. If I had wanted it for using it with food it would have been a waste of my hard earned $$. I'll hack it and use it for the filament but I shouldn't have to tweak a brand new unit which is not a complicated unit to begin with. It's internal mechanics are basically just a heating element, fan and thermostat. Pretty disappointed......
