Bad Points
- Only OK for ease of use.
- Large unit takes up a lot of bench space and does not easily fit into a cupboard, would need to have a specific place to store.
- Dial control is a little stiff and the press sealed controls require a little pressure.
- May need to refer to manual initially to get the correct sequence when using the controls.
- May not be accurate temperature settings.
- Unable to view food unless you slide out the drawers.
- No door – the shelves have a raised front that when all closed seals the cavity.
- Only OK to wipe out interior, back wall has a metal grate in front of the fan, can be difficult to clean back wall if needed to.
- Shelves are plastic with lots of crevices, only OK to clean as some food particles can get stuck in the crevices.
- Large bulky shelves, difficult to fit into a domestic sink or dishwasher. #149; May need to remove the shelf above each tray when dehydrating larger pieces of food such as tomatoes.
- Fairly basic instructions with some guidelines .
