OSTBA 5-Tray Food Dehydrator, 400W Stainless Steel

I��ve been using the food dehydrator and I love it! The 8 stackable, adjustable trays are super flexible for thick or thin slices. The LED panel is really easy to use, and I can set the temperature and timer exactly how I want. Everything dries evenly every time. The 360�� airflow ensures uniform dehydration while retaining nutrients in fruits, vegetables, and meats. It��s quiet, safe, and has overheat protection plus auto shutoff, which is great. The fruit roll tray and stainless steel tongs are really handy, and the trays are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. Homemade snacks have never been easier or tastier.

This food dehydrator makes it simple to prepare different snacks at once. The eight trays give a lot of room, so you can spread fruit, vegetables, or meat without stacking them too close together. The trays slide in smoothly, and the mesh sheets help smaller pieces dry more evenly. The temperature range goes up to 158��F, which works well for jerky or crisp fruit. The timer can be set up to 72 hours, and the controls are straightforward, so you can adjust settings without guessing. The machine runs with a steady airflow, and the clear front makes it easy to check progress without opening the door.

I��ve used it to dry fruit slices, herbs, and small meat strips, and it handled each item well. The included fruit roll tray is a nice touch for making purees or softer snacks, and the tongs make it easy to move pieces without touching the hot trays. The BPA-free materials feel safe and easy to wash afterward. It��s a convenient tool for anyone who likes preparing homemade snacks or wants more control over ingredients.

Good products and good quality to use for make any type of food

This dehydrator saves you time and energy��literally!
What a great investment on this little workhorse!
I just set it and forget it and the next thing you know I��ve got perfectly dehydrated peppers, vegetables and jerky of all types.
The manufacturer also includes a recipe book for more jerky making ideas than you ever thought of.
Very happy customer here! Go get one!

I was waiting to get this because we are in a situation that we need to make jerky of our meat because our freezer is starting to freezer burn our meat. I need to use it immediately. I was counting on it to be in new condition, not broken and needing to be returned. The packaging was not damaged so, either it was damaged in the factory or packaging was not sufficient to protect it. I need to keep it and use it broken, very ?? disappointed. Other than a broken part it seems to run fine.

Very satisfied with my purchase. Does an excellent job and really like having a timer so I don't have to be around to shut it off. Love the stainless steel racks as they are way more sturdy then the plastic ones.

bruyant ! je n'ai pas encore essayer mais jais fais un test rapide pour voir si il fonctionnais et la premi��re chose c'est que le ventilateur es pas bien balanc�� !!

I'm new to fruit drying. This has worked good on everything. The only thing it's lacking are silicone trays with ridges to make fruit leather. If I were to buy again, I would look at something else, where those trays would be available. The problem is small rectangular size with center hole. Can't find anyone who makes one for this style dehydrator.

I��ve been dehydrating like crazy! I��ve saved and don��t need to buy anymore: granulated garlic, lemon rines/zest. Anything that is leftover from meal prep, put it in the dehydrator!! Made my own croutons & breadcrumbs! Has 5 shelves, it can do so much at once!

I wanted to love this food dryer, but it the bottom fruit dried much quicker than the top tray. The bottom tray turned the fruit into hard rocks. Returned. I also found the trays not so easy to assemble each time.

Works okay , you need to double the recommended times.

I am extremely happy with this food dehydrator with stainless steel trays. The taste of the dehydrated fruits is absolutely amazing, natural sweetness, great texture, and no artificial flavor at all. Fruits come out evenly dried, flavorful, exactly how they should be.

The stainless steel trays are a huge upgrade compared to plastic. They feel durable, food-safe, and easy to clean, and they don��t absorb odors. The airflow is consistent, so everything dries evenly without rotating trays constantly.

set up this shiny new dehydrator in my kitchen and honestly it has been such a total blast turning my counter into a tiny snack factory ��I used to feel so guilty watching my extra groceries go soft in the fridge but now I just slice everything up and let this machine do its magic while I am busy doing literally anything else. It is super simple to use because the trays just stack up like a little tower and it is almost hilarious how much stuff you can fit inside at one time before you even run out of room�� I just set the timer and go about my day then wake up to a house that smells amazing and a big jar of treats that didn't cost me a fortune at the fancy organic store. The way it handles juicy slices is actually pretty impressive and it makes me feel like a total kitchen pro even though I am mostly just trying to see what else I can turn into a chip�� and it didn't even make a mess of my counters. I was a bit worried it might be a pain to clean up since there are so many layers but the trays rinse off in two seconds flat which is a huge win for my lazy Sunday vibes. I actually made some jerky for the first time last weekend and my friends were so impressed that they thought I actually bought it from a professional butcher or something �� and the best part is that it is quiet enough that I can still hear my podcast while I am working nearby. It feels really sturdy and well built so I am not worried about it vibrating its way off the edge of the table when it is full to the brim. I love that I can finally stop throwing away food and start making my own healthy snacks that actually taste better than the processed junk from the vending machine��If you are looking for a way to save some money and have a bit of fun in the kitchen then you should definitely grab one of these little guys��it has made my weekly meal prep a lot more exciting and I can finally stop worrying about my berries going to waste before I can finish them.

This dehydrator has been running in my kitchen for about two weeks now, and it��s been easier to use than I expected. Setup was straightforward, and the trays feel sturdy enough for regular batches. I started with apple slices and herbs, then moved on to beef jerky, and everything dried evenly without needing constant tray rotation. The temperature control is simple to dial in, and the timer is nice because I don��t have to babysit it all day. Noise level is pretty low��noticeable but not annoying, kind of like a quiet fan. I also like the clear trays since it��s easy to check progress at a glance. Cleanup hasn��t been a hassle, and the size works well on my counter without taking over the whole space. It��s been a practical way to preserve snacks and ingredients at home without getting overly complicated.

Pulling this dehydrator out of the box, it immediately felt like something I��d actually keep on my counter instead of stashing away. After about a week and a half of use, it��s been running apple slices, strawberries, beef jerky, and even dog treats without any drama. The trays stack solidly and don��t feel flimsy when loaded up, which matters once you start filling all eight. Controls are straightforward, and the digital screen is easy to read even at night. Noise level is pretty low��I��ve let it run overnight without it being annoying. Heat seems consistent across trays, so rotating hasn��t been a constant chore. Cleanup is simple, and the stainless look wipes down nicely. It��s not flashy, but it does the job reliably and fits well into regular kitchen routines without feeling like a hassle.

Already on 2nd batch of jerky.. bit of a trial and error with different flavors.. so far so good

I��ve been using this dehydrator mainly for apple slices and beef jerky, and the results have been very consistent. The adjustable temperature makes it easy to dry fruit gently while cooking jerky evenly throughout. Airflow feels steady, and all trays dry at the same pace without needing rotation. The trays offer enough space and flexibility for different food thicknesses, and the clear lid makes monitoring progress simple. Operation is quiet and straightforward, and cleanup is easy since the trays are dishwasher safe. A compact, reliable option for home dehydrating.

The panel is clear, the buttons react fast, and it shows the countdown so I can walk away and check later. I tried drying some herbs from my balcony planters, and the texture came out way better than I expected. It does a nice job spreading heat across all the trays, which saves me from swapping them around. Being able to adjust the temperature made it easy to switch from herbs to jerky without guessing. Cleaning up wasn��t a chore either. The trays went into the washer, and the outside needed only a quick wipe. For someone who doesn��t want a huge appliance taking over the counter, this is a decent size. I don��t feel crowded using it. It��s a cool way to make snacks that feel a bit more homemade.

This food dehydrator is very easy to use, even for beginners. It provides consistent heat and airflow, delivering excellent drying results for fruits, vegetables, and jerky while preserving natural flavor and texture. The machine runs quietly and offers enough capacity for everyday home use. It��s well built, easy to clean, and simple to store, overall a practical and good-value choice.

These BPA-free trays from OSTBA are a solid choice for anyone using a food dehydrator. The combination of clear plastic and stainless steel makes them feel both lightweight and sturdy. They hold up well during long drying sessions and don��t warp or bend with heat.

The materials feel food-safe, and there��s peace of mind knowing there��s no BPA involved. The trays are easy to slide in and out, and the open-grid design helps air move evenly around whatever��s being dried��whether it's fruits, veggies, or jerky.

Cleaning them isn��t a hassle, either. A quick soak and rinse usually does the job. They stack neatly and don��t take up much space in a cabinet or drawer. A dependable add-on or replacement for those who use their dehydrator regularly.

I used this food dehydrator for my homemade fruit tea, and it has worked well. I��ve dehydrated lemon, apple, and orange slices, and the temperature range is easy to adjust depends on the type of fruit. The five trays are useful for larger batches. I like to stack everything at once rather than running multiple cycles, and the adjustable height between trays helps when drying thicker slices. The unit doesn��t take up much counter space and is easy to store when I dont use it. Operation is simple with a dial, and the clear lid make it easy to check the progress.

Does what the larger dehydrator do. I love it.

Size is a little on the small side, but is nice & compact. Digital display is nice. Cookbook has a bunch of recipes to try. Dehydrator has range of temperatures and get the job done rather quickly. Fairly easy to clean. Fan blows nice and hard but not loud. Has a timer.

The digital controls made it easy to get started, and I like being able to set the exact time and temperature instead of guessing. With all the stackable trays, I can dry different fruits and herbs at once, and everything comes out evenly thanks to the steady airflow. The safety shut off helps me not worry, especially when I��m multitasking around the house, and the included mesh sheets and fruit roll tray made it fun to try new recipes right away. Cleanup has been simple too.
