COSORI Food Dehydrator, Bigger Than 7 Trays with Large 6.5 ft² Drying Space, Stainless Steel Trays, 600W Faster Drying, 165°F Dehydrated Dryer for Jerky, Dog Treats, Herbs, Meat, Fruit, Yogurt, Silver

Love it! Small but mighty! Makes great jerky in preset times (and adjustable) in 4 hours. Small enough to store, easy to clean and easy to use.

I have gotten a ton of use out of this dehydrator for backpacking meals for multiple people/thru-hikers. It is awesome. I previously had a round/stacking Nesco with plastic trays and it was horrible. Stuff stuck to the plastic, which was hard to clean, and the clearance between trays wasn't great. The Cosori isn't that much more expensive and the price difference is 100% worth it. You'll want nonstick trays to go on top of the metal trays though. Parchment paper works too. That's because the steel trays have large holes that lots of things slip through. If it's bigger things like sliced bananas you don't need them but you do for smaller things like chickpeas. The controls are very easy to use. Just set the temperature, time, hit start and walk away. I keep it in my workshop so noise isn't a huge issue but it's quiet, so if I put it inside it wouldn't be a big deal (unless I'm drying mushrooms and in that case it's because they smell like death). It dries food evenly and the capacity is great for how I use it.

I purchased the 10 tray version for my husband, Christmas of 2023 and he has definitely gotten my money's worth. From deer jerky to dried fruit the results have been perfect. The unit is quite, It is easy to use and clean up is a breeze. Just purchased the 5 tray version for my sister.

It works just as it should, and even comes with a little recipe starter guide! It’s quiet while on. It is larger so make sure you’ve got the counter space.

The item follows the description and seems to be working ok. The package arrived with damage to a corner of the box and with a few side punctures. However, the appliance seems ok. Thank you.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine!!!! I am new at dehydrating things but let me tell you! I can’t stop! I like giving homemade gifts and this is like the best thing ever! So far I have dehydrated one small batch and two full capacity batches! Max capacity is about six pounds of meat. The book that comes with it has some great recipes for meats, fruits and veggies. I have only tried meats so far and they have come out perfect every time! Not knowing what I’m doing and or what to expect I haven’t had one issue with the dehydrator. It comes with six racks a dual use plastic tray and a plastic screen of sorts. I haven’t made anything using the plastic items but I use the tray as a drip pan to keep the bottom of the machine clean. The racks have been really easy to clean as well as the little amount I have had to clean on the machine I can’t give enough likes and or stars for this dehydrator and the ease of use!

Did the Deep Dive in Researching Looked at all the other brands, watched youtube videos, etc before I made a purchase, decided on the Cosori 5 Rack max temp 176 degree, bought it, arrived the next day and here are my thoughts. Why I bought I mainly bought it because I like to make beef jerky, I love beef jerky and most of the store bought jerky has all kinds of preservatives and curing salts things that extend shelf life of the jerky but may cut down on yours...With this 5 rack bundle of joy I can control what is in my jerky, i've made just salt and pepper, marinaded jerky, you name it...absolutely love this thing. The smaller unit has a Jerky button which defaults to a 4 hour cook time at 165 degree temp which you can extend the time(also if you push the jerky button twice it defaults to a lower temp for 8 hours) Again you still have manual controls so you could possible dehydrate something at 176 for 48 hours however i would not advise that, that would probably destroy whatever you were trying to dehydrate and be hard on your dehydrator. But depending on your thickness of your beef you can finish a batch in that 4 hour window or extend your time at a lower temp/sky is the limit. Also I should note I did the calculations on the electricity cost and cost of meat and all that, for me I save about 25% off commercial jerky when it is on sale BUT I control the cuts of meat quality and what goes in it, and that is the value for me...I eat a more carnivore diet so if I were consuming preservative laden beef jerky I am sure it would effect me big time. Big things Small Package I think they really optimized this smaller unit because, I can get 1.5lbs of jerky in each batch, the 5 rack unit only uses i think around 480 watts max, its just a nice compact unit but can do allot. I was looking at the bigger units before but i really love this one, if i reach capacity i will just buy a second unit rather that going to a larger unit. This is low wattage (but efficiently optimized for use), plenty of size to do all you need. Dog Treats so Far I have all these ambitions to do Vegi Dog Treats but like Dog and Owner my dog loves the beef jerky treats I make for him which are just dried beef no seasoning. I do plan on making dried green beans, dried carrots and sweet potatoes. Just remember I am sure all dog owners know this you have to be very careful what you feed your dogs they cannot under any circumstances have certain foods like garlic, onions, certain fruits, I am sure you are all aware just a PSA for those who were unaware to check out the AKC and others to see what is safe for our furry friends. Anyways I love that great treats are on my dogs horizon (if you have ever seen the back of a Dog Treats label looking at the ingredients) this is much better alternative. The Bads I bought a vacuum sealer at the same time I bought this Cosori to seal my beef jerky for longer term freezer storage....I am afraid it will never get used. Final Thoughts Again I do not review things, my time is more valuable to waste writing an essay on something for the good or for the bad. But buy it, you will not regret it, don't walk, run towards getting yours! it's outstanding! Not sure I covered what I plan on trying in it later (zuccini flour so I can sub 1/3 of the flour I make pizza dough, I want to do peppers when they are on sale to make a seasoning, carrot chips, zuccini chips and green beans for snacking, I have heard if you caramelized onions then dehydrate them they make an excellent topper for anything from hamburgers to green bean casserole instead of deep fried onions) Anyways enough of my singing it's praises.

The COSORI Food Dehydrator (Bigger Than 7 Trays) is fantastic! It offers plenty of space with its large capacity, making it perfect for fruits, vegetables, jerky, and more. The adjustable temperature control allows precise dehydration for different foods, and it runs quietly compared to other models I’ve used. The trays are easy to remove and clean, and the even airflow ensures consistent results every time. It’s perfect for prepping snacks in bulk, and the sleek design looks great in the kitchen. Overall, this dehydrator is efficient, spacious, and user-friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make healthy snacks at home!

This is an American product and you can't just buy an adapter to use this in the UK. There'll be too much power going through it and it won't work. If you want to give it a punt, you'll also need to get a step down power converter which is hefty and costs half as much as this does.

Buenísimo! Yo lo uso para secar galletas decoradas y me ha funcionado perfectamente.

Some of the things i was looking for: - small size - no plastic parts as this thing is exposed to heat It’s a great dehydrator. Easy to use. All the parts are stainless steel minus the fruit roll tray which i do not use. Great size considering it’s all stainless steel parts. It’s about the size of an average microwave. I use it to make homemade dog treats (beef jerky, fish jerky, cookies, etc…) and this thing is perfect. It’s small but mighty, perfect size if you have a small dog

Fabricación de muy buena calidad, muy practica y trabaja muy bien.

Es mejor de lo que pense comparado con el precio, es liviana pero no es frajil, las regillas son de excelente calidad, la puerta cierra sin problemas, ponerla en marcha es super facil y me gusta que viene con un recetario con muchas ideas de alimentos diferentes deshidratados para preparar, sin duda la recomiendo
