Question: I'm in Australia and wanted to know whether all I have to buy is a simple plug converter to plug into an Australian electricity board?
Document: Good overall function and simple design but could be better. The thermostat is flimsy and inaccurate so, I replaced it with a digital P.i.D. for $12 and works great. Save $50 by getting the one without the cheap timer and buy a $5 mechanical wall timer. Plastic, just sucks, so I'm making the whole thing out of redwood with stainless mesh screens. Overall, it's a really good design. Had I known how simple a design I would have made one from scratch.
I've only used this a few times since I bought it - I'm just learning how to use dehydration to add variety to a raw food menu. This thing is really simple to use and having the 9 removable trays is really great. It's simple to clean, I can adjust the amount of space needed depending on the food. Making my own dried fruit snacks and kale chips couldn't be easier.
I have read some reviewers complain about the dehydrator's noisiness, but when you think about what you get from it, I think this noise is very insignificant. I have a very small kitchen so when it's on, I know it. To me it's just a reminder that I'm creating my own delicious raw and earth filled goodness. I recommend this 9 tray Excaliber to any who want to make a lot at once in bigger batches.
(We can season it however we want to, with ingredients that we can tolerate in our digestive tracts - in other words, we no longer suffer from gastric disturbances.) We have also dehydrated pineapple rings and tomatoes.It's easy and fun, plus saves money. We run a batch at least once per week, sometimes more.I researched dehydrators for quite a while because I only wanted to buy ONE and keep it for a long while.
I have always wanted one for several years. I wished I would have got one long ago. Every chance I get I'm drying more things. This thing rocks my world. Easy to clean. People say they make noise, Set it on a rubber shelf liner and it almost becomes silent. The first time I did my wife thought I had turned it off. Greatly reduced the noise factor.
Hi,Thankyou for the speedy postage. I was very impressed.Although upon receiving my product and plugging it in (had to get a transformer because it was a US plug, not australian, and this was not specified), anyway, upon plugging it in, the motor blew within seconds. I would like to return this products please.Can you please contact me with how we can sort his out. Thankyou,Anna(dahein07@hotmail.com)
I'm super sensitive to sounds so I wish I had another place to put it. But even so, I'd buy this product again in a second. It's that good! Oh yeah, I also bought "The Dehydrator Bible" and I love the recipes and tips in that also.
Works great. Would be nice to have a timer. Timer can be added easily to the plug though.I user this for making jerky and dried vegatables.
Works great for herbs and vegetables. It doesn't have a built in timer but you can plug it into an outlet timer and you can walk away.
But thats ok!Note: when you dry really beautiful yellow harloom tomatoes, they completely stainthe sheets. I don't know how to get the stains out??? tried everything I canthink of.
Answer: No you have to have a transformer! I made the mistake of thinking a simple converter would do the trick, and I blew the motor in the dehydrator within seconds! :( It really needs to be very clear on their page for international buyers to make sure they know they need a transformer! By the way, you can pick up a transformer for about $50. Mine was from WallCan in Adelaide. Hope that helps
