Product Description
The NESCO FD-37 Food & Jerky Dehydrator is perfect for a beginner or an experienced jerky maker! This dehydrator comes with four (13 1/2″ diameter) trays and expands up to 7 trays so you can dry larger quantities, with no tray rotation needed. Additional Add-A-Trays sold separately. The fixed temperature control takes the guesswork out of finding the optimal drying temperature when making jerky and the quiet, powerful fan forces heated air down the center chamber, then across each individual tray for consistent drying. The clear top cover lets you conveniently watch the drying process. Sample seasoning and cure packs are included to get started. The NESCO FD-37 Food & Jerky Dehydrator provides the drying power for dehydrating great jerky snacks for the active lifestyle.

Over time, of course, due to its age, it finally just broke. So I ended up getting a new food dehydrator. I am SO happy. It makes jerky like a DREAM! I don't have to swap out trays anymore, it's WAY more powerful, and dries more evenly, than my old one, works in less time, gets Warmer than my old one got and circulates air a lot better, and, just in all, I am SO happy.
The first new batch of jerky has turned out delicious - a sweet bbq flavor. This year, I am SO going to be making jerky like a fiend! Not to mention tons of fruit leather - i.e. homemade fruit rollups but with absolutely no sugar added or any preservatives. Not to mention being able to dehydrate veggies for long-term use.
I am a very happy camper. :-)

In your food processor (ok not even gonna lie, I don't have a food processor, I used a hand blender, but a food processor would work much better)1 cup raw cashews soaked in water for a couple hours then drained, 1 red bell pepper, juice of 1 lemon, couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast, sea salt, pepper. Mix until smooth, adding more lemon juice if necessary. In large bowl hand toss a bunch or 2 of roughly cut kale with your sauce, making sure each leaf gets coated,or dredged, if you will (curly kale apparently works best but I used lacinto and it was fine) place in food dehydrator overnight and in the morning you will have thin, crispy, delicious, healthy kale chips! Now throw away those Doritos!
As far as washing goes, it says you can place trays on upper rack of dishwasher, but I have already warped them by doing so, so I would really recommend hand washing, which shouldn't be so bad-as far as I can tell so far, they don't get very dirty. And as far as noise goes-as I have noted others have complained; it sounds like a FAN. If the sound of a fan running is enough to get you excited, then you have something else going on as far as I'm concerned!! And the only other thing I would mention is that solid trays, or "fruit roll trays" for making fruit leather are not included, so you might want to order one or two when you order the dehydrator itself.
Really great buy. Recommend!
I used it for a couple of years and the motor gave out. Only complaint I have it that it is noisy as hell. Had to banish it to my shop in the basement to make stuff. A bit of a pain, but for $35 this is a pretty good buy.
When it died, i replaced it with the Nesco FD-80 square model. It is about two-and-a-half times the price, but well worth it. It is whisper quiet and holds a ton of stuff - six racks about 12 inches on a side, which means six square feet of drying space. I also prefer the temp control. This one here - FD37 - runs at a constant temp around 170 degrees F. The FD-80 has a control you can set from 90 to 160/
My conclusion is if you're tight on cash this will do just fine. If you can afford the extra cost, the FE-80 is like having a Lexus dehydrator.
Pros:
Inexpensive. works fine. enough rack space for small to medium size production
Cons:
makes a crazy-loud racket.
