(More customer reviews)My family and I have long used smaller, "passive" dehydrators (that is, the circular plastic ones with just a heating element). We switched for two reasons: first, I was tired of waiting 10-20 hours for some things to dehydrate. Second, and more importantly, the plastic dehydrators are all made out of polycarbonate...terrific if you want bisphenol-A in your food. What's more, because these devices all HEAT UP, they're even more likely to leach BPA into your food. So I went for a stainless steel dehydrator, which necessitates spending a good deal more money. BUT...What a difference this device makes. Even with all the racks filled to capacity, the food dehydrates completely in a few hours rather than half a day or more. The temperature's adjustable, there's a timer with automatic shutoff, and the interior and shelves are all very easy to clean. (I don't know if the racks are dishwasher-safe, but they come clean very easily, so it hasn't mattered.) If I had to mention a drawback, it's probably the way the front panel slides on and off -- it's a little hard to finagle sometimes. But that's a very niggling complaint. Overall, I'm thrilled with the speed and capacity of the Weston, and much, much happier using stainless steel trays rather than polycarbonate.
