We choose only the best
The electrical appliance market is constantly being updated with new options for home appliances. Finding a good dehydrator is difficult if you have never experienced this technique before. When choosing a quality electric dryer for vegetables and fruits, the rating of the best will help you avoid disappointment in a new gadget. The list of popular models contains only reliable and tested brands that have won the trust of millions.
About material and volume
An important criterion when choosing such a unit is its volume. You should not take a dryer that is too small, since the low cost will not cover the subsequent energy costs, because in such the dehydrator raw materials will have to be loaded in several stages, while in a larger apparatus everything can be done in once. There are perishable food items that may not last until their turn in the dryer, so capacity is of the utmost importance.
The second difference is the material from which the device body is made. There are models in metal and plastic. This does not affect functionality in any way, but you always want to buy durable equipment. Plastic products are much cheaper, but their metal counterparts will last for decades.
You need to understand that in any case, the storage conditions of the device must be observed so that humidity and too low temperature do not spoil it ahead of time.
Is power so important
You can opt for a less powerful model, since this factor does not affect either the load or the drying speed. And also all models consume approximately the same amount of electricity.
Depending on the desired area of use you need to pay attention to the number of modes in the model you are interested in. In advanced dehydrators, you can dry not only fruits, but also fish and meat. Even if for now there is a desire to dry only apples for compotes for winter, it is better to take an advanced variation, so to speak, for the future.
The rating of the best dryers for vegetables and fruits, according to users, is made up of models that meet all the requirements for these devices.

Katrina self-assembly. Made in the form of a rug (50x50), on which drying takes place using infrared rays. Indispensable for making homemade marshmallows.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting a small load (up to 5 kg).

Agroplast Sukhovey MP3. A beautiful metal body, low power consumption (500W) and durability are the undoubted advantages of this model. Alas, it will not work to load more than 3 kg into three deep pallets. Two drying modes "fruit" and "meat / fish" will make the Dry Wind an irreplaceable assistant in the household. The price of the dehydrator will be 2850 rubles.
Agroplast Sukhovey PM5. It differs from its brother in a plastic case and a noisy fan, but has a large load: 5 pallets (5 kg). The device has a built-in overheating function. Price: 2500 rubles.
Petromash Ryzhik Super. The ideal dehydrator for a small family. A metal case, no noise, protection against overheating, two modes of operation and a beautiful appearance - this is what the fans of this device are so fond of.
- Power consumption: 750 W.
- Price: 2830 rub.
Alvin SU1. A very spacious unit (up to 30 liters), made in a metal barrel-shaped case. It does not look too beautiful, but it differs in trouble-free operation for a long time, durability and drying temperature regulator. Suitable for small production. The cost of the assistant will be about 4,800 rubles.
SATURN STFP0111. The plastic case does not spoil this model at all. Large capacity, temperature regulator, the ability to produce not only drying in several modes, but also to make homemade yoghurt, make this model a superman among dehydrators. The nice thing is that you can watch the process through a transparent wardrobe trunk. The cost of this wonderful dryer will be 2580 rubles.

For a pensioner, Katrina-samobranka is what you need. In the morning, you can already transfer the finished dried fruits to storage and not doubt their quality.

We use the whole family model Ryzhik for the second season. The resulting mushrooms and fruits are of the highest quality. The husband also dries the fish. The device is easy to clean, can be washed if desired and is ready for use again.
Alla
The child looks with pleasure at the operation of the device. It is very good that there is an option of auto-protection against overheating - you can leave the dryer turned on overnight and calmly go about your business. The yoghurt maker has not yet been tested.
