Gourmia 6-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator

First, the good: -Lots of space. Six very spacious racks to dehydrate on. -Seems to work pretty effectively ....however -Reasonably priced. For $100 you probably can't do better. That still doesn't mean you should take the plunge here unless you don't plan on dehydrating often, however... The bad: -There is a timer that can only be set for 19 hours and 30 minutes, maximum. As you may know, many recipes require that you dehydrate for more than 24 hours to get the correct result. After the timer stops, the dehydrator turns off and must be turned back on manually. This wouldn't be so bad if you were around the house 24/7 and had to time to always reset the timer and make sure the dehydrating is complete. Unfortunately this is almost never the case and 75% of the items I dehydrate require a longer amount of time than I had anticipated in this dehydrator. -The temperature setting range from 95-158 degrees fahrenheit but you must choose a preset temperature: 95, 104, 115, 122, 138, 145, 158 -- really quite annoying. Some of my recipes call for temperature different from those, making using this a headache to use properly in combination with the timer shutting off the entire machine when it runs out. -It is very big. It takes up a lot of counterspace and unless you use it pretty regularly (a few times a week at least) this will take up a lot of workspace that you don't even use most of the time. On that same token, it's a very reasonably priced dehydrator with no bells or whistles, and despite its cheap construction and nearly nonexistent control of the finer details, it can be great for someone who really doesn't need a dehydrator at all. I wouldn't buy this dehydrator again, unless I was going to use it for one or two recipes that take less than 19 hours and 30 minutes every time (kale chips I guess?)
