It comes with an instruction manual on how to dry different types of food. We are very pleased with the purchase. This machine takes about 5 hours. The fan built into the top of the machine circulates the air so there is no need to switch trays from top to bottom like the RONCO. The trays are difficult to clean. If you have a large dishwasher, and can place the trays safely without them getting stuck in the prongs of the dish drawers, then this would be the best way to clean the trays. The jerky press is a waste and I haven't used any of the salts that came with either the original or the jerky kit, since reviews have said they are way too strong. It's an otherwise really, really cool machine.
Everything came out great and I plan on using this thing a lot more in the future. I can't believe it was this easy to make such great beef jerky in such a short amount of time.
Remember that any replacement part is not warrantied for any additional time after the initial 1 year. If your dehydrator breaks after 11 months and they fix it, and then it breaks again after another 5 weeks, you are out of luck.
Very quiet and has a large capacity. There are obviously a couple things that I would improve, but I would never expect a product that works this well for this price to be perfect. You can use other spices that you like. I made meringue cookies, tossed in a few mini choc chips, made little dollops & set machine on 160 degrees; I couldn't resist eating them warm-they tasted like smores. It's a great product and very reasonable price. Makes the best dried bananas EVER! The dial allows you to simply select the type of food you want to dehydrate. Thus you simply plug in the dehydrator and select the food. It works very fast and is easy to clean. I soak in the sink in soapy water and clean with a sponge.
It's a very nice product, and it works great! Much better than the Ronco one we had years ago, and less expensive. It will make beef jerky is about 7 hours. I have used this unit about 5 times and no sign of discoloration or usage. I highly recommend it for the money. I would suggest getting extra trays right from the beginning. I use it 2-3 times a week. All I make is beef jerky.
