Product Overview

The Excalibur 3948CDB Electric Food Dehydrator Machine is a great appliance for anyone who s looking to make delicious, healthy snacks at home. With its large 15 square feet of drying space and 9 easy to clean trays, it s perfect for making all kinds of food and jerky. I especially love the adjustable thermostat that allows you to set the temperature between 95 and 165 degrees F. This makes it easy to dry fruits, vegetables, and meats without running the risk of burning them.

The Excalibur dehydrator also features patented Hyperwave technology and horizontal Parallex drying that helps to preserve nutrients and enzymes in food while using less energy. This is a great feature for those looking to boost their immune system with nutritious snacks. Plus, it comes with a digital download guide so you can learn how to properly dehydrate your food for optimal preservation.

In terms of ease of use, I really appreciate how straightforward this machine is to use. It comes with an impressive 48 hour timer so that you don t have to worry about constantly monitoring your food and an automatic shutoff once the cycle is complete. Additionally, the 9 flexible non stick polyscreen tray inserts make cleanup a breeze just pop them in the dishwasher when you re done!

Overall, I was really impressed with the performance of this electric food dehydrator machine. It s durable enough that it will last for years, yet lightweight enough that it won t take up too much counter space. Plus, it has an affordable price tag so that anyone can enjoy making their own healthy snacks at home without breaking the bank. Whether you re looking to make jerky or dried fruit leathers, this is definitely a great appliance for any kitchen!
