Anyone have an Excalibur food dehydrator?
DH and I are thinking about getting an Excalibur food dehydrator, but are having trouble finding reviews. I thought someone on here had one. If you do, what do you like/dislike about them? We have a basic dehydrator, so we're looking for more capacity and a timer. TIA!

Re: Anyone have an Excalibur food dehydrator?
We have one... it's the only one I've ever used, so I've nothing to compare it to. H bought it before I met him, when he was on a raw food kick.
We have a five tray one, which has enough capacity, except when it doesn't (like when we do major major farm trip buys)... dehydrating takes a long time, so it can be problematic if we have produce laying around in the hot summertime.
I like it, but, again, I've never used anything else. I've been told that ours is really quick - - like, for instance, we cut cherries in half and it takes 24-36 hours to dehydrate them... I've been told that it takes much longer in other machines.
I am the 99%.
My mom does! She loves it. It was her Christmas gift one year. It's pretty big; she keeps it on a microwave cart in the corner of the kitchen. It has a huge capacity. She says she could use it year-round... drying extra produce from the market, turning old bread into croutons, making fruit leather, letting a loaf of bread rise, etc.

24-36 hours? Really? We have a Nesco dehydrator now, and cherries took us 8-10 hours. Fruit and vegetables should be dried at 135 degrees, do you have it set lower than that?
