overal a great product, but it has no on/off button

 

overal a great product, but it has no on/off button

The dehydrator works great and the flexibility of the device is awesome. There is a large selection of reasonably priced additions for this unit and it works very well, drying very evenly. The only flaw is that it has no on/off switch and you have to...

Great for Jerky

 

Great for Jerky

I use my Snackmaster to dehydrate jerky. The 500 watts lets me use up to 7 trays at a time, and only takes 8 hours. You do not have to roatate the trays, unless you want to do them. I run it while I'm sleeping and when I wake up the jerky is done. ...

Like the dehydrator so far.

 

Like the dehydrator so far.

I have had several dehydrators and have worn most of them out or they broke. This one seems to work well and if it holds up it will be worth the money.

Got this to dehydrate sweet potato's for my pups. Bag of these treats at the store is $13.00 that now costs me $3.00 even with my labor(very little) it's worth it. It works so great that now I'm going to start making jerky. Clean up is so easy & unit...

Great value purchase!

 

Great value purchase!

I purchased this dehydrator a few weeks ago & have made several batches of jerky already. The unit is a little bit of a counter-space hog, but the option to extend up to 12 trays makes it worth it! The four trays the unit comes with will fit...

Dried fruit galore!

 

Dried fruit galore!

This Dehydrator is awesome. I just can't handle how long things take but that's my own problem. We've made all sorts of delicious dried fruit and fruit roll ups. Next try will be jerky.

Larger than I expected

 

Larger than I expected

I returned this unit because it was much bigger than I expected and I really didn't have anywhere to keep it.

Worth the Value

 

Worth the Value

I like this dehydrator as it dries evenly without switching out trays. I especially like the heating/air unit on top because it keeps the juices from gumming up the machinery. Can't wait to try to make jerky!

Love it!

 

Love it!

I can't believe it took me so long to get one of these. I have only used it for jerky so far but that's essentially why I wanted it. I'm in jerky heaven and I know exactly what's in mine. I overlap the meat a little and it still works perfectly fine....

Product Specifications

The Snackmaster Encore has 500 watts of drying power and generates maximum speed and quality for dehydrating fruits, vegetables and jerky. Helps dry food in hours, not days. Hot air is forced horizontally across each individual tray, converging on the core for fast, even and nutritious drying. No flavor mixing and no need to rotate trays. Adjustable thermostat allows user to dry different foods at the proper temperatures. Opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful light which destroys nutritional content of food being dehydrated.
