We’ve tested the latest food dehydrators in our labs to help you find the best one for your needs.

Our experts give each model a thorough workout to find the models that:
– perform well for dehydrating various foods, like semi-dried tomatoes, fruit leather, kale and beef jerky
– are easiest to use and clean.

We also provide good and bad points for each model and tell you about any special features, such as timers, automatic shut off, fruit roll tray accessories and whether or not the trays or shelves are dishwasher safe. Our Recommended list shows you at a glance which food dehydrators topped our tests.
