can't go past stainless dehydrator – Have used the dehydrator continuously for past 2 weeks drying Turmeric, well what a great unit. low noise similar to portable electric heater. Didn't miss a beat, dried throughout trays equally. I liked the 24hr programming and temperature control with set up extremely easy. The only sad point is there is no pause, so if you're wanting to check… Read more · 1
product you will either open the door while letting the drier continue or you turn it off which sets it back to zero meaning you'll have to reprogram. I had 2 plastic constructed models previously, this unit kills them for ease of cleaning, being stainless steel construction throughout makes I't a breeze. I'm about to dry Kiwi fruit, bananas and pears, which I think will be successfully done.
Food drying times – It would be very useful if Devanti could provide a food drying list for vegetables, fruits and meats. It would be even better if it was in PDF format on their website. Many other dehydrating companies now provide this service. Show details · 5
Larger than you think – I chose to buy this product because it was larger than most and ended up being surprised how big it actually is. Although I’m struggling to find storage space for it, I do value that it is so big to ensure I can dehydrate as much as possible in the one go. When researching dehydrators I quickly also decided to stay away from the plastic ones,… Read more · 1
which didn’t seem to be as of good quality and were smaller. Overall, I’m very pleased I bought this one.
It dehydrates the food fairly evenly and it takes trial and error to figure out the correct timing for different foods. I have primarily used it for fruit so far but will also use to make our own jerky.
The downside of the item is the trays can be tricky to use with different types of fruit but easily fixed with some baking paper.
Refund requested – Delivery was swift and appliance damaged on receipt. Customer service still extremely poor after 3 weeks of trying to obtain a replacement appliance. Now requesting full refund given the poor quality of service. I would not recommend purchasing a Devanti appliance to anyone due to this poor experience. This is not how to treat customers.

Devanti Food dryer is faulty – Since date of purchase some 14 months ago I have used the devanti 6 tray food dryer only 7 times and it no longer works. I contacted Devanti to discuss a repair or replacement and they said as it is out of the 12 month warranty they won't help. They allow their products to have an additional 6 month warranty extension if you register online with… Read more
them at time of purchase, which I didn't do because the ebay seller of the product didnt inform me of this right. It stands to reason that electric products should last for many years with modern design and manufacturing techniques. The fact Devanti won't resolve this issue , which is within their 18 month extension period, makes me question their products general quality, seeing as I have only used this item 7 times. It is in as new condition, and I proved that to them by sending a video of the unit.

A tool my kitchen cannot live without ! – First time I tried a food dehydrator I purchased a round plastic one. It heated unevenly and actually melted. So I spent more and purchased the Devanti 6 shelf stainless steel unit and wow... I have used this to dry fruit and vegetables, dry herbs of all sorts, and it will even dry bananas perfectly, as well as meats and whatever you throw at it.… Read more · 1
The unit is perfectly evenly heated, the thermostat is highly accurate, the fan is solid and does not rattle. The timer works great and shuts the unit off when finished with a 20 second beeping alarm. The trays are basically mini commercial racks so they are solid and well made, and easy to clean. The interior of the unit is brushed stainless steel and again, amazingly easy to clean. The door is glass, solid, and easy to clean. The outside of the unit is polished stainless steel and the unit looks good. As it takes up a lot of bench space it needs to look good. In fact it is so solid I actually have a t-towel over the top and store a glass oven on top of it. After all.. kitchen space for gadgets runs at a premium in my house. Things I have dried include chili's lemon grass, basil and dill, apples, Kiwi fruit, bananas, even wormwood, and other more woody herbs (chinese wormwood aka Sweet Annie). It is SOLID and will probably easily last 20 years. This is one of the best appliances I have ever bought and I put it in the same quality of built as my 40 year old Mixer. They rarely make them like this anymore. I purchased this on ebay for $179 but they cost a lot more from other stores. Well worth the purchase and the 6 shelf is the small one. There are larger models. If you do a decent amount of drying food from fruits herbs vegetables (mushrooms are amazing), to meat and Jerky.. this is the only unit you will ever need. To show you how I use it, I have attached a picture. In the drier is a whole branch of wormwood, and I inserted a few shelves. Shelves are optional as I have also used this to evaporate alcohol from herbal extracts as I can accurately set the temp better than anything else I have (PS I added a stock picture of the unit too).
the date is Nov 2021 and I thought I might add something to this. NOTHING has ever gone wrong with this. I have dried meat fruit veg herbs, I even use it to dry my Dyson vac filter and anything else that needs drying. Not a vibration or rattle, not a fault. This is by far the most robust kitchen accessory I own If you want a food drier - this is your machine !
