With a Nesco food dehydrator you get a great dehydrator with updated technology for faster and more evenly dried foods. With every update you have quality and assurance you are getting great quality dried foods.

Nesco/American Harvest Food Dehydrators offer some of the fastest and most even drying of fruit, herbs, jerky, and much more.

There are various food dehydrator models out on the market. Some are small for either cramped kitchens or single and couples without children who don't need a whole lot of dehydrating power. Of course, on the flip side there are models that can make dry enough food out to feed a large family or maybe even a small army.

NESCO (also known as American Harvest) has a wide array of models from which to choose. Here are a few of the best ones:

Nesco FD-75PR Snackmaster

This is the top rated sub $100 dehydrator on the market and one of the newest dehydrators in the Nesco product line. This is Nesco's mid-market dehydrator since they offer both smaller and larger units.

Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt

Dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours instead of days with this 700-watt food dehydrator. The unit's patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even, and nutritious drying. Flavors don't mix, and there's no need to rotate the trays. Its top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit's adjustable thermostat ranges from 95 to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results.

Nesco American Harvest FD-1010 Gardenmaster

Drying apple slices in just three hours and beef jerky in four, this 1000-watt dehydrator is exceptionally fast, using a big, 4-1/2-inch fan to force air up through the drying trays' outer rings and across each tray. A thermostat adjusts from 95 degrees to 155 degrees for drying different items. Each of the four plastic trays is 13-3/4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch deep—that's four square feet for drying fruits, vegetables, herbs, or flowers at one time. Additional trays can be ordered separately, and up to 30 trays can be stacked on this unit's metal base at once.

Nesco FD-80 American Harvest Square-Shaped Dehydrator

Dry slices of fruit and vegetables, herbs and flowers, granola, or strips of jerky using this easy-to-operate dehydrator. With its square shape, the countertop appliance provides 41-percent more room for drying compared to round dehydrators. It also features a unique air-circulation system with a top-mounted fan and patented Converga-Flow Action, which pressurizes heated air downward through the outer ring and horizontally across each tray, converging at the center. This delivers not only speedy results but uniformity, so foods dry evenly--no need to rotate the trays around during operation.
