Food Dehydrator

If I was looking to get a Food Dehydrator, what should I look for.
I'm thinking of importing one from the USA / Canada as they are £100's in the UK if you can find one.

Re: Food Dehydrator

There was a thread which really covered everything you would want in one

You want it big enough to accept the biggest 1/24 bodies, and you don't want the temp to exceed 110 F, a fan is also a big plus as it will help circulate the air.

Re: Food Dehydrator

OK, what I should have said was :
Being in the UK, I can't phyically see/touch one and most website advert don't tell me alot. So can anyone point me in the direction of a paricular model which is suitable.

Would this one be any good ?

Re: Food Dehydrator

If you wanted to make yoghurt, yes
But you really want something with a fan, which that one lacks.

Something to this effect without this price tag is ideal:

One like I had: (got broken in a move)

Another good option:

Re: Food Dehydrator

This is the one I have (just got it a couple of months ago) and I'm quite happy with it. I've only been able to use it a few times, but it seems to work just as I was hoping.

It's got a temp guage on it, fan, and they sell extra trays in case you need to make it bigger.

Good luck!

Murray

Search feature

In short, it cuts down the paint drying times. And you can make snacks while you build.....

Re: Food Dehydrator

Hey HiroBoy - I'm based in London. If you're looking at getting a few in, let me know - you might get better pricing for buying more. They are such a pain to get in the UK....
