Nesco FD-79 Dehydrator

The FD-79 American Harvest/Nesco dehydrator comes with 4 trays, each .8 sq. foot, expandable to 12 trays for nearly 11 square feet of food drying area. The FD-79's combination of a large, quiet fan and 600 watt heater lets you dry food gently in hours instead of days. The digital timer can be set up to 24 hours. Temperature is adjustable between 90° and 160° F. Air pressure adjusts automatically to number of trays used. Measures 13.5" dia. x 10.25" high (with five trays.)

Top-Mounted Fan & Heater: Ideal for drying wetter foods, the top-mounted design prevents liquids from ever dripping into the motor or heater. Makes cleanup easy!

Patented Converga-Flow™ Design: The American Harvest FD-79 dehydrator's double outside wall design provides fresh air equally to every tray, eliminating tray rotation and flavor-sharing. Opaque Vita-Save Exterior blocks light, preserving all the nutrients in your foods. 

Food contact parts of the American Harvest/Nesco dehydrator are dishwasher safe.
