Nesco FD-80 Dehydrator

Yes, the Nesco FD-80 is designed to be expandable. While it comes with four trays, you can add additional trays to increase your total drying space up to 11 square feet.

The top-mounted design is a significant advantage because it prevents liquid from dripping onto the heating element or fan, which makes cleanup much easier and protects the internal components from potential damage.

Yes, the opaque Vita-Save exterior is specifically designed to block light. This helps preserve the nutrients and vitamins in your food that can otherwise degrade when exposed to light during the drying process.

Yes, all food contact parts, including the trays, are dishwasher safe and BPA-free, which simplifies the cleanup process after you finish your dehydrating projects.

The unit features an adjustable thermostat with a range of 95°F to 155°F. This allows you to precisely control the heat for different types of food, from delicate herbs to meat jerky.

The patented Converga-Flow system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber and then horizontally across each individual tray. This ensures even air circulation, so you don't have to rotate the trays during the drying process.
