I bought one of these back in 2014. Couldn't be more happy with it. Love the Dual fan technology.

There are cheaper ones like the Exclaibur 9 tray dehydrator. They just had that one on sale for $179 not to long ago.

I bought one of the LEM 10 tray models when they changed the design a while back.  The Excalibur 9 tray with analog controls is basically the same thing (with 1 less tray).   The LEM has been flawless for me.  I've only done jerky and meat in it though.  I have not tried any fruit or other dehydrating.

Based on budgets....Look at Cabela's. After all - if it is a Cabela's brand...they will take it back and replace it - or refund - for any reason.
