I'm looking into buying a dehydrator. So far the LEM 10 tray has my attention. Any input would be appreciated.

Ditto on Excalibur. And I heard good things about Nesco too.

Most nesco are good solid machines,I have one and got one for my nephew so Im content the quality/value is there.Excalibers have excellent reps. But that LEM,at the sale price,unless someone tells us they are junk I would seriously consider it.IMO.

I just got the LEM 10 tray because it was on sale and love. Only thing I have to compare it to is my smoker or one I had years ago that was round. This thing is great and the results are outstanding. I had every try full this past weekend with pineapple, apple, bananas, sticks and once the sticks were done I added the jerky.

Living in Canada your going to pay through the nose for one, don't really matter which one. If your going to the fall gathering I would be on the look out for one down there, you just might save yourself a few bucks.
I bought my Sedona Digitally Controlled Food Dehydrator (SD-9000) through amazon.com and of course paid more than someone living in the U.S.
I have never owned a dehydrator before so I can not compare it to the others mentioned but I have used it pretty much every week since I got it and love it. I do a lot of dried fruits for the kid and lately I been doing tomatoes as I have so many of them. I have done lots of jerky but never snack sticks but the jerky has always come out fantastic. The thing about dehydrators is you either love them or not, so I would go through kijiji.ca and see if you can get a good used one.

Don't know if this guy will convince you to buy a Sedona Dehydrator but he is fun to watch  ;D

I was leaning towards the LEM only because I can get it on Amazon for 220.00 with free shipping. The reviews look decent on it. As for the fall gathering I can't make it.. Boo
