Update 1/19/14 I've been using the fruit marinade that By SANDRA J BALKE posted in her review on June 28, 2011, with one tweak. Bananas and certain apples just don't tend to come out sweet enough with just the honey and water marinade So what I have done is taken 1 packet of my favorite sweetener, melted it in a tbsp of warm water, and then add the rest of the water and honey she recommends (and a bit of cinnamon when doing apples, yummy!). I've also made sure (especially with the strawberries) to either spray my trays with a non stick spray or rub them down with a light coat of vegetable oil for easier removal of the fruit. The trays are very easy to hand wash this way, even with the sticky strawberries.
Pros:
1. The 4 trays hold about 2lbs of ground, seasoned/cured meat pushed out through a 'jerky cannon'.
2. The price is perfect - great for this type of item that may not be used as frequently throughout the year
3. The trays are easy to clean and stack together
Cons:
1. There's no way to control the temperature. Keep that in mind if you make jerky (especially from wild game). You'll need to follow up dehydrating with putting meat in the oven to get it up to a safe temperature.
2. It's pretty noisey
All in all, with the research I did prior to buying this + from my own experience - I highly recommend this. There are definitely fancier dehydrators out there that offer more bells and whistles (of course, at a higher price point), but for the price this is good enough for someone just getting started. Literally the only reason I would suggest going with something else is if you NEED to have temperature control with what you're making.
I'll load up all 4 trays and it'll take about 6-10 hours to completely dry the chilies depending on size.
The only negative is the noise from the fan. Another reviewer stated it sounded like a hair dryer on medium speed which is very accurate. When the temp outside was warm we ran the machine on the screen porch but now the temps are cooling off we run it in our basement so sound isn't an issue.
Satisfied and would recommend if you are looking for a reasonably priced, easy to use, basic dehydrator.

Made bacon jerky, tofu jerky, dried coconut, dried strawberries, dry cured salami. I love this thing, its cheap and works well.
Cons:
- its big! about 16" across so you need some counter space for it.
- its loud :( you would not want this running in your living room while watching TV.
