Since we have recieved this, it has been used multiple times. It does a great job, and I am planning on using this on a regular basis.

Getting serious about dehydrating ? This is a WOW product. It does what it claims, and fast. I also purchased several extra drying trays. (Probably will buy more next fall.) When those fruits and vegetables are freshly picked, you need lots of space to dry everything at once, and this dehydrator can be expanded to hold a great deal.
Cleanup is also easy. Just soak the trays in plain, soapy water for a little while, and all food particles come off.
I would recommend this product to everyone.

This is an excellent dehydrator and Nesco's highest model as of a few months ago. You can do even better for a little more money by purchasing the same model dehydrator that has eight trays instead of four --> see Nesco FD-1018P American Harvest 1000-Watt Gardenmaster Dehydrator and Jerky Maker.

If you have eight trays you can dehydrate more food at once. According to the company the 1018 is actually the 1010 but with four more trays.

I love using my Nesco for dehydrating pineapple, strawberries, and bananas. I just dehydrate the fruit as is without any preservatives. Soon I plan on making beef jerky and dehydraing tomatoes when I can find the right variety.

This product is a great purchase; but if you plan on dehydrating a lot, you should purchase one with more trays. You can expand this dehydrator to a maximum of 30 trays. The trays are available separately --> see Nesco American Harvest Add-A-Tray for FD-1000, Set of 2.

Backpackers who need to dehydrate a lot of food for the trail will love this dehydrator. Also, those who like to preserve the freshest food while it's in season can use this to dehydrate certain vegetables for soups. The How to Dry Foods book is indispensable. Be sure to check that Nesco doesn't ship this book with the dehydrator you order. Their book is How to Dry Foods Book written by the same author.

Overall, I feel this 1010 or the 1018P Nesco dehydrator is a smart purchase.

Great price. Shipped in one day. Dehydrated all kinds of fruit, no problem. Easy to use. Recommended!

I got this for my birthday and haven't really turned it off since I opened the box. I dries food evenly and quickly. The trays are easy to clean. The fan doesn't make very much noise. This is a high quality food dehydrator. I should have bought one a long time ago.
