Product Description

Excalibur Model ED-2900 9-tray Food Dehydrator (Excaliber) Drying food is fun! The Excalibur Dehydrator allows you to dry anything evenly and efficiently. The unit can dry all fruits, vegetables, meats, and more! Make fruit leathers and home-made jerky - FRESH! The Excalibur has a trademarked horizontal-airflow drying system which dries foods perfectly evenly on all the trays. Dehydrating is a great way to add a new way of consuming foods without damaging valuable nutrients which may be lost during high heat cooking! Dried foods are a great treat to snack on because they hold almost all of their nutritional value and flavor. This unit differs from other dehydrators because of its unique horizontal drying system in the rear of the unit. This provides a sure way to provide an even dehydration process as the warm air removes moisture and is pushed out the front of the machine. There is also no need to rotate trays because of the horizontal drying. Features: * 15" X 15" Trays * 1.25" between each shelf * Removable doors and trays * Plexiglas door * Trays are dishwasher safe! * Includes instruction manual with over 50 recipes!

A Mistake - Karen Horne, Feb 20, 2008

Don't get me wrong - Excalibur makes the most wonderful dehydrators. They're the only ones on the market that allow you to dry tall things, like tomato halves and raw breads. But this 9 tray one is SO LOUD that I cannot recommend it unless you have a service porch or someplace close to the kitchen with a door that closes off the sound from the rest of the house. It is far too loud to use in the average kitchen. I should have kept my 4 tray one and simply bought another. The smaller ones make some noise, too, but at least it's bearable.

I've never understood why people would buy a round food dehydrator - Chris G. Muse, Feb 13, 2008


Forget every other food dehydrator you have ever seen. All you need is The Excalibur. I use this machine many different times during the year but it is extremely helpful around the holidays. My family expects Homemade Beef Jerky in a wide variety of flavors and with nine large trays there is ample room to explore with different marinades. If you want to make your own Beef Jerky this machine is all you need. Meat and Spices not included.

Great Dehydrator! - Ron, Dec 29, 2007

This is a very good product for dehydration of food. Volume of food that can be dehydrated at one shot is good - I dehydrated 5 lbs of beef jerky in one cycle, and also dehydrated about 25 fairly large apples in one cycle. The unit has a fairly large footprint, so we store it in the basement when not using to conserve our counter space. The unit is light though, so it is not much trouble to bring it up to use. Not very noisy either... less than our dishwasher for sure!

Kitchen Essential - Molly Amai, Dec 11, 2007

I use this machine all the time and am so glad to have the full 9 tray version! I really do use all those trays quite often, making my own nutritious snacks that I can baggie up and eat later at home or on the go. It also fills my home with the scent of whatever I'm dehydrating at the time (which is generally some kind of delicious fruit)... very pleasant to come home to.

Makes you a guru in a day! - J. L. T. Osborne, Dec 28, 2006

I had a Ronco dehydrator and needed to move up. I work all week and could only prepare foods to dry on the weekend. We get an organic farm share each week and my family was having trouble eating and processing it all before the next batch arrived. Once I got the Excalibur 9 tray, I was able to get all of my food dried with NO LOSS OF BATCHES. This thing has a thermostat and fan instead of relying on convection alone, so it works much more quickly. Now my family has gone RAW, and we make all sorts of food in the Excalibur. We use it several times per week and it is plainly AWESOME!!! This is what you need if you are really serious about drying foods or eating raw. Don't mess around - get the 9 tray and make BIG batches and save a lot of time.
