Benchfoods 16 Tray Commercial Dehydrator - AfterPay & zipPay Available

If you have a very large veggie garden... then get this! It handles gluts Perfectly! I love the two solid trays.....very handy and great for fine powders.I was used to using two round home dehydrators, but fiddling around the circles was driving me nuts as things kept falling into the fans., and there was never enough room or height clearance! Now I am dehydrating everything.. NO WASTE! I also pick up mushrooms at the supermarket in bulk when they are on special and dehydrate these.. saves you a fortune! I strongly recommend you washout and dry your large glass jars and use them . I dehydrate my food, then place in the jar, condition them and vacuum seal the jars. I'm sooo glad I purchased this! A solid investment!

I have been searching the internet for a while, trying to find a larger, cost effective dehydrator for our small batch beef jerky business. Most of the other units in the 10 to 20 tray range don't hit a high temperature of 160 F and so a separate kill step with an oven is "required" for making safe beef jerky according to USDA. The 16 -CUD exceeds 190 F and checks all the boxes for that. The 190F also helps with the Come Up Time on the jerky, because 16 trays of meat fresh out of the refrigerator drops the temperature considerably.... a lesser brand would take much longer to get meat to a safe range for dehydrating. Fahrenheit and Celsius is a big plus for versatility. The good thing about the rack design is that food can be brought right to the edge of the tray, ... MoreI have been searching the internet for a while, trying to find a larger, cost effective dehydrator for our small batch beef jerky business.

Fahrenheit and Celsius is a big plus for versatility. The good thing about the rack design is that food can be brought right to the edge of the tray, because the tray sits on a bracket. Some of the other brands that I have used, slide into a slot and you have to account for the groove or the food will be pushed off. The downside of the rack with trays sitting on top, is that the trays will not hold if you pull it half way out to check your food. The trays could be of a thicker gauge and more gaps in the screen. It would make the screens more durable and easy to clean. The double walled unit is great and it doesn't get too hot. It is relatively quiet compared to other units. The outer case is stainless steel and isn't magnetic. One of my other brands says it is stainless steel, but must use a cheaper mix of metal, because a magnet will attach. Shipping was great. Came within a week in a wood crate. Customer service is great and I will recommend the business and dehydrators to anyone in the market for one.

We purchased our 1st 16tray dehydrator approximately 10 years ago. We have since purchased another 7 dehydrators. Obviously this tells you that we are extremely happy with them. We use them to dry mangoes which we have been doing for over 30 years. These machines give our most successful results. We have recently started to dry beef jerky and are happy with the results of this also.

Great dehydrator! I've had it for multiple years using it twice daily at stages. I couldn't fault it. Good design and easy to operate. Personally I like the manual timer and temp control option. But would imagine the computer version would be even easier to use. Great product, highly recommend!!!

What customer service should be! We have purchase 2 commercial units from Commercial Dehydrators UK and recently had a motor burn out on our larger unit. In about 2 minutes of online chat I was offered 2 replacement motors, expressed shipped, outside of our warranty which had expired, free of charge. Quality products that we've been using for years with no operating issues. And now solid customer service. TY Commercial Dehydrators UK!!!

This unit is better, faster and much more reliable than previous units that I have purchased. I purchased something that looked similar from a different company and the product was garbage and customer service was terrible. Internal parts started breaking, it wasn't drying consistently and the control panel stopped working all-together after 1 week of use. After a bit of research I found this company and after reading some of the reviews I realized that the previous company that I purchased from had ripped off their design. I am so glad that I have now purchased the authentic product as it was so worth paying the extra $.

I've had my unit for about 6 months now, and am super satisfied with both the product and the service.Initial shipment arrived damaged and freight driver said to refuse it. Replacement arrived in about three weeks and was damage-free. Packing is solid, just a bad forklift driver somewhere on the initial unit.Unpacking, setup, cleaning, and burn in went exactly as described. Benn perfect every time I've used it. Can be a little noisy, and I found that placing a light weight on top of the unit eliminates 90% of the rattle noise that can occurI've dried apple slices, apricot halves, whole pitted cherries, fruit leather, herbs, flowers, and beef jerky. nothing like making a batch of beef jerky with 1/8" slices in 3-1/2 hours @ 165FI also opted for the mesh mats ... MoreI've had my unit for about 6 months now, and am super satisfied with both the product and the service.Initial shipment arrived damaged and freight driver said to refuse it.

We had invested in the 1 Zone / 16 Tray / 2.56m² Tray Area Premium Commercial Dehydrator. We started making the Hawaiian beef jerky recipe from the recipe book that came with the unit.We then did pineapple, lemons, bananas, apples, peaches, brocolli, kale, and celery leaves, onions, potato slices, Red and green Bell peppers. Everything turned out great. Rather than throwing out spoiled fruit we now can dehydrate them and use them at a later time with no wastage.Dehydrating saves on storage space.16 trays serves us well as well as the liquid stainless steel trays and the silicone mats to prevent sticking of fruits etc.Backed up by a 3 year warranty and excellent customer service

This was one of the best purchases we have made!! We bought 2-zone1 dehydrators in September 2022. So far I have dehydrated 80 pounds of beef jerky, vegetables of all kinds from my garden, berries, nuts, seeds, herbs...In the fall the dehydrators run 24/7. Everything we put in them dehydrated perfectly and evenly. I like how super easy it is to set up and to adjust the temperature. These dehydrators are built to last. Stainless steel makes them easy to clean. Trays are easy to clean. Everything about screams quality! And the costumer service...top-notch. This company is awesome and there products are worth the investment!

Very well built dehydrator. Just ran my first batch of beef jerky and i was very happy with how it ran. Also noticed it was very consistent with the drying.I did notice that 6 of the treys I received with unit where 2 centimeters to small. The treys still fit the machine just one side wasn't as long as the rest. I contacted customer support and I was able to talk to someone right away and without any hassle they where willing to send me 6 additional treys with no charge at all. Didn't even ask to ship the smaller ones back.So I would say that is Excellent customer service witch is a major plus and the craftsmanship of the unit is A+. Will definitely order another unit once I need more production.
