Works great - exactly what I wanted
I really like this for drying herbs. I dry all my herbs from my summer garden and dry them for cooking and for my chickens. I love using them in their nesting boxes and their coop smells lovely. It's a little noisy and there isn't an off button but it works great and it smells so good while drying. There are 4 trays so you can dry lots of herbs at one time. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Dehydrate your own food, it's super easy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2023
I just got this out so I could dehydrate some garlic scapes and make them into powder. It has been working really great with everything we've tried so far. We've done tomatoes and herbs. Once my garlic is ready I'm going to dehydrate some of that too.

I also just bought some extra trays for it, you can stack up to 8 of them. I ordered some screens too, to cover the trays so I can dehydrate stuff that needs to be cut smaller or will stick to the trays.

The trays are a bit of a pain to clean, and it is a bit noisy. You could always set it up in a pantry or a garage to avoid the noise. My son just commented that he liked the "soothing" noise it makes, so to each their own.

If you want to be more self reliant, this is a great gadget.
