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.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

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.
