That's exactly the same here! Not so bad if it's on Amazon marketplace though - esp if I can get something directly from China.

on US Amazon, the one that you got is $89 and the one that you want is $104 so not that big a difference.....
I picked this one up today (we met in a busy parking lot) and he would've guaranteed that it would work (no place to plug in lol) but not necessary because it works.
I'm just amazed at how quiet it is..my other one I could hear it on another floor. This one sounds like a fan on low speed, super quiet! It came with 2 fruit roll trays and 2 fine mesh for drying herbs (I suppose I can dry my dill) but really its for the dogs lol. Only downside is no timer. The one I really liked was the Nesco Gardenmaster, that one had more watts and a timer but was 100 more. I really like the Nesco brand...I don't need an Excalibur dehydrator that's $500.
I'm drying some chicken livers (yumm) and apples. I'm going to clean my freezer lol and see what else I can dry...I found a pork loin that has a bit of freezer burn on it
! Dogs are gonna be eating good!

Do you ever check out Facebook marketplace Caro? I've found more good deals there than anywhere else.

Well the dogs are my friend today! They actually couldn't wait for me to get up this morning...was like Christmas morning for them!
I dehydrated apple chips, pork loin, pork tenderloin (lucky dogs lol), chicken livers (do these on the liners, they stuck horribly) and ground beef and pork jerky (used the gun to make little sausages).
Had it running all night (7 hours maybe) and with 8 trays (used 3 from my old dehydrator). The top 6 were dried sufficiently but the bottom 2 weren't. You definitely need to rotate if doing more than 5 trays.
Going to run to the store and get some sweet potatoes and banana's to dry next and then I think we'll be done for a bit lol.

****Spoiler Alert****Dont show this to your dog!
You got that right Gloria! My house is like a candy store for dogs!
From left (front row) we have apple chips, chicken livers, pork loin...
Back row pork tenderloin, turkey (had some cooked in freezer so I dried it) and very back is beef and pork jerky.
Eating good now! I love this dehydrator, so much faster and bigger.
I have green peppers and sweet potatoes going now.

Ok, how long does it take for your boys to go through your treasure trove?
How long do they keep since you do not add preservatives?
My mouth is watering!
