Title: Got a new toy!!!
Post by: TMB on March 04, 2017, 09:39:12 PM
My new toy came in today  :thumbup:

It's a  LEM 5 rack dehydrator.    Academy sports has them on clearance from $149.99   now at   $78.98

http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/lem-5-tray-single-door-countertop-dehydrator#repChildCatid=3851502

 
No, it's not the best but couldn't pass it up for the $$$$

Will be using it over the next few weeks and will give a report.   I have quit a few LEM products and so far very happy with all of them so we will see how this holds up!

My Bradley is getting to the point of not working all the time and just can't trust it, so hope this unit fills the gap!

Man, that is nice Tommy.
I've been wanting something like that, but I've got an old Nesco that I have had forever & it still works fine, so I just can't justify it.
And V would probably not be too receptive to me purchasing a new one either.  ::) ::)

Same here. We have an old American Harvest D50 (by Nesco) that we got almost 25 years ago right after we got married.   They still make that exact same model and although its a little discolored, the thing still works like the day it was made.

Congrats Tommy! Always great to get a new toy, I mean tool! I got a new dehydrator for Christmas but because of life, new grand babies, work etc. it hasn't been plugged in yet. I have some time on my hands now so maybe real soon I'll get mine into use!

Gene, I'm just happy your home safe and sound!  :thumbup:

With  the surgeries in the few months I've had time to get a few things done as well.  You just get better and will be looking forward to seeing you use your dehydrator

I have a LEM dehydrator too and love it. Just make sure you spray the racks with a not stick spray. They are a pain to clean if you forget!
