Pros & Cons: For some products, I really hate to point out Cons and this is one of those... Lets come to Pros first- Timer, Removable trays and even dehydration of food is a definite plus, Unit is designed well and is fairly robust to stand daily use. Excalibur-3526TW is useful for small Gardens and Kitchens where you have a fair supply of the food items that you might want to dehydrate or just dehydrate the Fruits and vegetables bought from the market. The unit is large and needs good space hence it needs storage when not in use. In addition, the fan runs continuously and may concern people who are noise sensitive or sit around the device for long. Ok now that I have done my job of pointing out some cons at the end. I do feel this is a great device to have at home and the cons really don't count with the benefits it provides – 5 Stars.
