Most of our small appliances are Cusinart and we aren't disappointed with this one. I use it for making liver treats for my dogs. It is a significant savings over buying dog biscuits. I also intend to use it for making beef jerky if I can ever manage to keep up with the dog treats. It is simple, works very well and easy to clean. If food sticks and leaves some bits on the trays, just fill the sink with hot soapy water and soak for a couple of hours to clean.
It’s very easy to use, I have used several times and I just bought it. It works very well and there are a lot of things I can’t wait to try. I trust Cuisinart and that’s why I purchased this dehydrator.
This dehydrator is awesome. It makes fabulous beef jerky, dried pineapples and apples. So far that’s all we’ve tried but we cannot wait to try to dehydrate more veggies and fruit. The dehydrated food lasts much longer than the original item and you cannot beat the taste. So glad we got this product. Yes there is a fair amount of prep time up front but it’s worth it when you taste the finished product.
Received as a Christmas gift and used it a couple times in December. When I pulled it out use it again in mid-March, it no longer worked. The fan is broken. Very disappointed.
