Product description

This powerful dehydrator from Klarstein dries fruit, vegetables, meat and other foods in record time and thus produces snacks and ingredients which are both delicious and durable. Whether you choose to make vitamin-rich dried fruit, such as apple and banana chips, or healthy vegetables such as dried tomatoes - the Klarstein Bananarama will change your diet for the better.

With 550 watts of heating power, the fruit dryer ensures that no water is left in the food. This drying process naturally extends the shelf life of foods while also preserving vitamins, fiber and other essential ingredients. Much like the Paleo diet, by taking nutrition from lots of vegetables and fruit as well as quality animal products, a lean, efficient lifestyle is maintainable, as well as above average health. The powerful motor reduces the drying time significantly compared to other devices, and without a loss in quality. For flexible composition of different foods, the temperature range is adjustable from 40 - 70°C. The adjustable timer facilitates the use and automatically terminates the drying process at the set time.

The Paleo diet suggests that eating exactly what evolution has prepared for us over hundreds of thousands of years will leave us slim, powerful and exceptionally healthy.

On a total of 6 levels pieces of fruit, vegetable slices, mushrooms and herbs are carefully dried. Even large fish and whole cuts of meat can be easily dried using the Klarstein Bananarama - for example, delicious beef jerky can be produced at home. The additional  fine mesh support is particularly useful for small fruits such as berries. The air-permeable shelves, in combination with the recirculation mode, help to even out the heat distribution. Thanks to the variable stacking, meat pieces can be processed without cutting. After use, and a quick clean, the individual trays can be inserted into each other to save space, resulting in an overall size of 29.5 x 22.5 x 43.5 cm.

Genau die richtige Größe Nachdem mein schon in die Jahre gekommenes Dörrgerät den geist aufgegeben hat, war das jetzt genau der richtige Apparat. Er besitzt die Temperatur Vorwahl, sodaß eine gewünschte Einstellung vorgenommen werden kann. Da ich das Gerät für verschiedene Zwecke (Obst, Hundeleckerlies, Beef Jerky u.ä.) nutze, war das genau die richtige Wahl. Mein altes Gerät hatte diese Auswahlmöglichkeiten nicht, sodaß die Einstellungen jeweils nach pi mal Daumen geschahen, hat auch gekl, ist aber jetzt einfacher. Ich bin zufrieden.

Just the right size After my old dehydrator gave up the ghost, this was just the right device. It has a temperature pre-selector so that you can set the desired setting. As I use the device for various purposes (fruit, dog treats, beef jerky, etc.), this was exactly the right choice. My old device didn't have these options, so the settings were always made by rough estimate, which worked, but is easier now. I'm happy.

Er könnte etwas leiser sein.. aber der Output ist super! Die Medien konnten nicht geladen werden. Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Dörrautomaten von Klarstein. Ich konnte schon einige tolle Dinge damit zubereiten bzw dörren. Da der Automat über viele Etagen verfügt und die eingelegten Stücke tatsächlich auch recht gleichmäßig trocknet kann man auch getrost gleich mal größere Mengen des Lieblings Snacks zubereiten. Einziges Manko: Er könnte etwas leiser sein. Oft benötigt das Dörren ja doch recht lange, manchmal muss das Gerät dazu auch über Nacht laufen, da das einfach praktikabler ist als unter Tags in der hektischen Küche. Wenn man allerdings über ein gesondertes Plätzchen verfügt, kann man den Dörrautomaten dann natürlich auch einfach außer Hörweite stellen. Handlich ist er ja auch. :-) Ich gebe dazu jetzt keinen großen Abzug, man sollte sich dessen nur bewusst sein.

It could be a bit quieter... but the output is great! The media could not be loaded. All in all, I am very happy with the Klarstein dehydrator. I have been able to prepare and dry some great things with it. Since the machine has many levels and actually dries the pickled pieces quite evenly, you can also prepare larger quantities of your favorite snacks at once. The only drawback: it could be a bit quieter. Often, drying takes quite a long time, and sometimes the device has to run overnight because that is simply more practical than during the day in the hectic kitchen. If you have a separate place, however, you can of course just put the dehydrator out of earshot. It is also handy. :-) I am not deducting much for this, you just have to be aware of it.

für Jerky in Ordnung bei uns wird damit Beef Jerky gemacht. Die Temperaturverteilung bei allen Fächern in Benutzung, ist nicht wirklich gleichmäßig, man muss hier definitiv mal die oberen mit den unteren tauschen. Bei 2 oder 3 Fächern ist die Verteilung weit besser. Geräuschpegel ist doch recht hoch, habe zwar keinen Vergleich mit anderen Geräten aber im Wohnzimmer neben dem TV brauchst es nicht aufdrehen. Sollte schon in einem anderen Raum stehen. ( für Wohnungen mit Wohnküche zb ) Ansonsten stimmt die Preisleistung.

OK for jerky, we use it to make beef jerky. The temperature distribution in all compartments in use is not really even, you definitely have to swap the upper and lower compartments. With 2 or 3 compartments the distribution is much better. The noise level is quite high, I have no comparison with other devices but you don't need to turn it up in the living room next to the TV. It should be in another room. (for apartments with a kitchen-diner, for example) Otherwise the price-performance ratio is good.

praktische Anwendung in alle Richtungen Das Gerät ist ok. Bin ja auch unerfahren in so etwas. Ansicht aber ok. einmal hatte ich vergessen, es auszuschalten und so lief es die ganze Nacht über aber ohne Probleme. Was das strommässig ausmacht, weiss ich nicht. Aber man muss es schon 3-4 Stunden laufen lassen, um ein gutes Trockenergebnis zu erzielen. Aber eigentlich war das klar. Das Ergebnis jedenfalls ist gut und kann weiterempfohlen werden. Ich habe es übrigens viel für Hundechips verwandt, um diesem Getreidehype zu entgehen. Funktioniert gut. Hunde lieben so getrocknete Leber, Herz und überhaupt. Das hat sich in der Hundewelt rumgesprochen. Alle kommen angerannt. Voll süss...... Chips aus Kartoffeln und so dauern wirklich länger. Aber schmecken gut. Fazit: Gute Alternative, aber man braucht Zeit und Geduld.

practical application in all directions The device is OK. I'm also inexperienced in this kind of thing. But it's OK in terms of appearance. I once forgot to turn it off and it ran all night without any problems. I don't know what the difference is in terms of power consumption. But you do have to let it run for 3-4 hours to get a good drying result. But that was actually obvious. The result is good and can be recommended. I've used it a lot for dog chips to avoid all the grain hype. Works well. Dogs love dried liver, heart and everything like that. Word has got around in the dog world. Everyone comes running. So sweet... Chips made from potatoes and the like really take longer. But they taste good. Conclusion: Good alternative, but you need time and patience.

Bei mir war der Deckel leicht beschädigt nach einigem Hin und Her mit dem Verkäufer wurde dann die Einigung erzielt, dass die Firma einen Preisnachlass macht, weil der Deckel alleine nicht ersetzt werden kann sondern man das ganze Teil retournieren müsste, sich die Firma das dann anschaut und dann Ersatz schickt. Zu Gute zu halten ist der Firma auch, dass sie nachdem ich mitgeteilt hatte dass das Verschwendung sei mitteilte, dass wenn das Gerät grundsätzlich die Funktion erfüllt dieses dann noch mal als B-Ware angeboten wird. Worauf ich mitteilte, warum wir nicht einfach zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen und ich Preisnachlass bekomme und die Firma dadurch nicht schauen muss das Gerät als B-Ware noch mal anzubieten. (Geräuschpegel könnte leiser sein aber wenn man Hochleistungsgeräte will muss man natürlich auch entsprechend Geld dafür ausgeben. Fassungsvermögen ungefähr 2,5 Kilo normal vorgeschnittene [kein Schmetterlingsschnitt) Schnitzel. Ware ansonsten wie am Bild).

In my case the lid was slightly damaged and after some back and forth with the seller we came to an agreement that the company would give a discount because the lid alone cannot be replaced and the whole part would have to be returned. The company would then look at it and send a replacement. The company should also be credited with the fact that after I told them that this was a waste they told them that if the device basically fulfilled its function it would be offered again as B-stock. To which I replied why we didn't just kill two birds with one stone and get a discount so the company wouldn't have to look at offering the device again as B-stock. (The noise level could be quieter but if you want a high-performance device you obviously have to spend the money on it. Capacity approximately 2.5 kilos of normal pre-cut [not butterfly cut) schnitzel. Otherwise the product is as in the picture).

Lo abbiamo utilizzato per seccarci moltissime cose, soprattutto frutta e verdura. Il "dado" di verdure ce lo facciamo noi grazia e questo essiccatore. Tagliamo tutta la verdura di nostro gradimento con una mandolina o col coltello, avendo l'accuratezza di ottenere spessori il più possibile simili tra di loro, così da trovare poi tutto secco nello stesso tempo, ebpoi mettiamo ad essiccare. Avendo il motorino sotto ai ripiani si asciuga prima il cibo nei ripiani sottostanti, e via via a salire. Quindi noi togliamo man mano i ripiani partendo da quello inferiore. Nel ripiano più basso si inserisce una retina in dotazione, con maglie più strette, su cui appoggiare cibo tagliato più piccolo, che altrimenti cadrebbe. La retina è utile anche per raccogliere il cibo che cade dai "piani alti", quando perdendo l'acqua rinsecchisce, è il cibo passa attraverso la griglia su cui poggia. C'è un timer che arriva fino a 24 ore, al termine delle quali parte l'avviso acustico di termine essiccatura, e si può regolare la temperatura a piacere. Consiglio di prenderci in abbinata un libriccino da cui prendere spunto per il cibo da essiccare, perché si può utilizzare per molte cose avendo un po' di fantasia (anche per seccare bocconcini di carne per il cane volendo). Consigliato.

We have used it to dry many things, especially fruit and vegetables. We make our own vegetable stock cubes with this dryer. We cut all the vegetables we like with a mandolin or knife, being careful to obtain thicknesses as similar as possible between them, so that everything is dry at the same time, and then we put them to dry. Having the motor under the shelves dries the food on the shelves below first, and so on up. So we gradually remove the shelves starting from the lowest one. In the lowest shelf we insert a supplied net, with narrower meshes, on which to place smaller cut food, which would otherwise fall. The net is also useful for collecting food that falls from the "upper shelves", when it dries out by losing water, and the food passes through the grid on which it rests. There is a timer that goes up to 24 hours, at the end of which the acoustic warning starts to indicate the end of drying, and you can adjust the temperature as you like. I recommend getting a little book to get ideas for food to dry, because you can use it for many things with a little imagination (even to dry meat morsels for the dog if you want). Recommended.

Habe den Trockner nun schon ein paarmal benutzt und bin zufrieden. Kein Plastikgeruch, weder beim auspacken noch im Betrieb. Die Temperatureinstellung und Zeitschaltuhr funktioniert super und das man die Etagen in zwei verschiedenen Höhen verwenden kann ist echt praktisch. Ich habe dieses Modell gekauft, weil er mehr Platz als andere versprochen hat und das hat er gehalten, man bekommt in jede Etage mit Leichtigkeit 20 Marillen-Hälften verteilt. Die unteren Etagen trocknen jedoch wirklich schneller als die oberen, weshalb ich die einzelnen Ablagen zwischendurch getauscht habe. Nur das Reinigen ist etwas blöd, weil sich der Obstsaft bei mir in diesem Gitter dazwischen angeklebt hat und ich mich noch nicht getraut habe sie im Geschirrspüler zu waschen. Ich schaue jetzt aber noch, dass ich mir so ein Papier bestelle, damit das Obst sich nicht direkt an diesem Gitter festkleben kann und ich dieses Problem so in Zukunft nicht mehr habe. Für diese Preisklasse ist es echt ein Top Produkt und für einen normalen Haushalt jedenfalls ausreichend!

I've used this dryer a few times now and I'm happy with it. No smell of plastic, neither when unpacking nor during operation. The temperature setting and timer works great and the fact that you can use the floors at two different heights is really practical. I bought this model because it promised more space than others and it kept it, you can easily get 20 apricot halves distributed on each level. However, the lower floors really dry faster than the upper ones, which is why I swapped the individual shelves in between. Only the cleaning is a bit stupid, because the fruit juice has stuck to me in this grid in between and I haven't dared to wash it in the dishwasher. But I'm still making sure that I order such a piece of paper so that the fruit can't stick directly to this grid and I don't have this problem again in the future. For this price range, it is really a top product and certainly sufficient for a normal household!

Dieser Dörrapparat hat eine praktische Grösse bezüglich der einzelnen Stapelbehälter. Der Dörrvorgang ist gut und entspricht den Angaben. Das Gebläse ist etwas laut. Zwei Mängel: Es hat nur einen einzigen feinmaschigen Einsatz, zwei bis drei wären aber ideal. Die Anleitung ist eher schwach und setzt Wissen voraus oder den Kauf eines entsprechenden Buches zum Dörren.

This dehydrator is conveniently sized in terms of individual stacking containers. The drying process is good and corresponds to the information. The blower is a bit noisy. Two flaws: It only has a single fine mesh insert, but two to three would be ideal. The instructions are rather weak and require knowledge or the purchase of a corresponding book on dehydration.

Nachtrag nach 4 Monaten im gebrauch: Wir benutzen das Gerät sehr oft und jetzt sind uns fast alle Gitter von der Mitte her gerissen. Ein Gitter ist sogar ganz gerissen ohne jegliche Kraft-Einwirkung. Leider schade denn wir waren bis jetzt sehr zu Frieden. Deswegen habe ich jetzt 2 Sterne abziehen müssen. Vom Plastikgeruch, wie hier viele schreiben, haben wir von Anfang an keine Probleme gehabt. Haben uns den schwarzen geholt vielleicht liegt es daran. Haben uns jetzt ein anderes Modell von Klarstein bestellt aber dieses mal aus Edelstahl. Ich kann ihn nur weiter empfehlen. Geräuschpegel ist angenehm also nicht störend. Ist nur sehr laut beim Beenden des Programms da er wir ein Wecker pipt.istbsehr leicht zu reinigen und gut zu verstauen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Addendum after 4 months of use: We use the device very often and now almost all of the grilles are torn from the middle. A lattice is even completely torn without any force effect. It's a pity, because we've been very happy so far. That's why I had to deduct 2 stars. From the beginning we had no problems with the smell of plastic, as many write here. We got the black one, maybe that's the reason. We have now ordered another model from Klarstein but this time made of stainless steel. I can only recommend him. Noise level is pleasant so not disturbing. It's only very loud when you exit the program because it beeps like an alarm clock. It's very easy to clean and store away. A clear buy recommendation from me.

Funktioniert problemlos: Beef Jerky, Diverses Obst, Fruchtleder, bei Südfrüchten sollte man aufgrund des höheren Wassergehalt mehr Zeit einplanen. Um Vitamine, Nährstoffe und Aromen zu erhalten maximal 50Grad eingeben. Ananas und Apfel waren bisher die Favoriten beim Verkosten. Papaya fiel komplett durch! Je besser der Rohstoff, um so besser das Ergebnis. Happy Dörring

Works without any problems: beef jerky, various fruits, fruit leather, you should allow more time for tropical fruits due to the higher water content.

Preis/Leistung und Geschmack sind sehr gut! Preis-Leistung absolut in Ordnung. Bedingt durch die Technik geht der Dörrvorgang natürlich nicht ohne Geräusche von sich, was aber vorher schon klar war. Genutzt wird der Dörrautomat bisher ausschließlich zum Trocknen von Fleisch. Egal ob für den Hund, oder eingelegtes Fleisch, um Jerky für mich selber zu dörren - das Gerät funktioniert bisher einwandfrei. Die mitgelieferten Böden reichen aus um ca. 1,5 kg Fleisch (z.B. Roulladenschnitt) zu trocknen. Nach ca. 4 Stunden bei 70° ist bereits ein brauchbarer Zustand erreicht. Je nach Vorbehandlung des Fleischs (Schnittdicke, mariniert, vorher nochmals extra trockengetupft...) verlängert oder verkürzt sich die Trockenzeit. Zwischen 4-7h ist allerdings ein realistischer Wert bei gleichmäßig dünn geschnittenem Fleisch. Zu dem angebotenen Preis ist das Gerät wirklich sehr gut und auch die Reinigung der Böden in der Spülmaschine funktioniert tadellos. Ich habe die Böden vor dem ersten Gebrauch natürlich in der Spülmaschine gereinigt und habe so weder Plastikgeruch, noch irgendwelche Geschmacksveränderungen feststellen können. Vor dem Schreiben dieser Bewertung sind rund 25 kg Fleisch getrocknet worden und alles funktioniert noch tadellos und s sind keinerlei Defekte an den Kunststoffböden aufgetreten. Alles in Allem eine klare Kaufempfehlung, vorallem wenn man bisher noch keinen Dörrautomaten besessen hat, und es ersteinmal ausprobieren möchte, ohne sofort viel Geld auszugeben.

Price/performance and taste are very good! Price/performance absolutely fine. Due to the technology, the drying process is of course not without noise, but that was already clear beforehand. The dehydrator has so far only been used to dry meat. Regardless of whether it is for the dog or pickled meat to dry jerky for myself - the device has worked perfectly so far. The supplied bases are sufficient to dry around 1.5 kg of meat (e.g. roulade cuts). After around 4 hours at 70°, a usable condition is already achieved. Depending on the pre-treatment of the meat (cut thickness, marinated, patted dry again beforehand...) the drying time is longer or shorter. Between 4-7 hours is a realistic value for evenly thinly sliced meat. For the price offered, the device is really very good and cleaning the bases in the dishwasher also works perfectly. I cleaned the bases in the dishwasher before using them for the first time, of course, and I didn't notice any plastic smell or any changes in taste. Before writing this review, I dried around 25 kg of meat and everything still works perfectly and there are no defects on the plastic bases. All in all, I would definitely recommend buying it, especially if you haven't owned a dehydrator before and want to try it out without spending a lot of money right away.

Of course, I cleaned the floors in the dishwasher before using them for the first time, so I didn't notice any plastic smell or any changes in taste. Before writing this review, around 25 kg of meat had been dried and everything still works perfectly and there were no defects on the plastic floors. All in all, a clear purchase recommendation, especially if you have not owned a dehydrator before and want to try it out without spending a lot of money right away.

Même si un peu encombrant 42 x 26 cm , les 6 plateaux sont bien utile , je mets 1 banane ou 1 pomme, entière sur un plateau. Je suis toujours en recherche du temps ... pour info, environ 17 h à 46° pour 3 bananes et 3 pommes; c'est les infos les plus dure à trouver : le temps de déshydratation et la température selon l'aliment. Il fait un "peu" de bruit, la soufflerie ronronne, mais on s'y habitue. Je l'avais lu sur les commentaires. Pour un premier , je ne regrette pas !

Nel complesso è un buon prodotto che fa egregiamente il suo lavoro. Non trovo il rumore eccessivo, che è circa quanto una termostufa. I cassetti sono sufficientemente grandi da poter ospitare veramente tanta frutta, peccato che però dopo il primo utilizzo la plastica dei vassoi inizi a rompersi, e il costo di un vassoio nuovo è quasi quanto un nuovo bananarama.

Overall it is a good product that does its job very well. I do not find the noise excessive, which is about as much as a thermo stove. The drawers are large enough to accommodate a lot of fruit, but it is a pity that after the first use the plastic of the trays begins to break, and the cost of a new tray is almost as much as a new bananarama.

Utilizzato per seccare funghi e va bene anche se comunque per modeste quantità ed effettivamente (come già segnalato da altri utilizzatori) un po' di odore di plastica si sente ma credo che sia imputabile ad una macchina mai rodata prima. La disidratazione non è informe come si può immaginare perdendo di efficenza sui ripiani più alti.

Used to dry mushrooms and it's fine even if still for modest quantities and actually (as already reported by other users) a little plastic smell is felt but I think it is attributable to a machine never broken in before. The dehydration is not shapeless as you can imagine losing efficiency on the higher shelves.

Nur 4 Sterne, weil.... mir persönlich die Bedienungsanleitung sehr dürftig ausfällt. Für Anfänger auf dem Gebiet des Dörrens fehlen mir Richtlinien, welche Temperaturen empfohlen werden. Zwar sind die Zeiten für Obst und Gemüse (mit teilweise sehr viel Spielraum) angegeben, für Fleisch leider nichts. OK, es ist ein Rezept enthalten für Beaf Jerky, das war es aber auch schon. Auch hier keine Temperatur empfohlen. Desweiteren gibt es keinen Hinweis darauf, ob es besser ist, auf hoher Temperatur oder auf niedriger zu dörren, oder ob das egal ist. Man muss also einmal alle Einstellungen durchprobieren, bis man bei der gewünschten Zeit und Temperatur landet. Leider ist auch nur eine feinmaschige Auflage dabei, die man für kleines Dörrgut braucht. Da auch ein Hinweis fehlt, ob man evtl. Backfolien drauflegen kann, oder gar Küchentücher (wie es eine Bekannte bei Ihrem Gerät macht - anderes Modell) . So machte ich mich auf die Suche nach solchen Auflagen, fand aber nur einen Versandhandel, der sie anbietet. Für mehr als 11 Euro + 5,95 Euro Versandkosten. Liegt man bei knapp 18 Euro für eine zusätzliche Auflage. Bei Klarstein selber nicht fündig geworden. Zum Ergebnis kann ich nichts sagen, der erste Versuch ist gerade erst gestartet. Ich hatte schon gelesen, dass es bei manchen Dörrautomaten nötig ist, die Ebenen umzustapeln, dazu hier auch kein Hinweis. Was ich aber sagen kann ist, dass der Plastikgeruch beim Probelauf kaum der Rede wert ist, er verliert sich auch sehr schnell. Das Gerät läuft auch sehr leise, leiser als meine Dunstabzugshaube.

Only 4 stars because... I personally find the instruction manual very poor. For beginners in the field of drying, I don't have any guidelines as to which temperatures are recommended. The times for fruit and vegetables are given (with a lot of leeway in some cases), but unfortunately nothing for meat. OK, there is a recipe for beef jerky, but that's it. No temperature recommended here either. Furthermore, there is no indication as to whether it is better to dry at a high or low temperature, or whether it doesn't matter. So you have to try out all the settings until you get the time and temperature you want. Unfortunately, there is only one fine-mesh pad included, which you need for small items to be dried. There is also no indication as to whether you can put baking foil on it, or even kitchen towels (as a friend does with her device - different model). So I started looking for such pads, but only found one mail order company that sells them. For more than 11 euros + 5.95 euros for shipping. That's around 18 euros for an additional layer. I couldn't find anything at Klarstein itself. I can't say anything about the result, the first attempt has only just started. I had already read that with some dehydrators it is necessary to rearrange the levels, but there is no information about that here. What I can say, however, is that the plastic smell is hardly worth mentioning during the test run, it disappears very quickly. The device also runs very quietly, quieter than my extractor hood.

Ich habe den Dörrer bisher mit Tomaten, Äpfel, Birnen, Chilis und Ananas probiert. Alles trocken geworden, dauert aber länger als im Ofen, dafür braucht der Automat auch weniger Platz. Super war die mitgelieferte Tabelle, wie lange Obst und Gemüse etwa braucht bis es gedörrt ist (allerdings muss man immer ein bisschen nach oben korrigieren. Aber einen Richtwert bietet es). Die Lagen sind verhältnismäßig groß und man bekommt viel unter. Durch Drehung sind sie von einer Höhe von ca 1,5cm (habe ich für Apfelchips verwendet) auf ca 3cm (für getrocknete Tomaten) verstellbar (siehe Bild). Die Temperatur kann man unterschiedlich einstellen, allerdings macht meiner Meinung nach nur 70Grad (Maximaleinstellung) Sinn. Denn auch bei der Einstellung erreicht man nie wirkliche 70Grad, der Dörrer wurde zwar gut warm, aber man konnte ihn absolut problemlos anfassen. Zumindest hatte ich so keine Angst, dass sich die Kinder verletzen könnten. Entscheidend war, dass das Dörren funktioniert hat. Es dauert zwar viel länger als im Ofen und man muss die Lagen regelmäßig rotieren (sonst sind sie unten trocken und oben nicht). Ich habe es mich leicht gemacht und den Dörrer einfach über Nach laufen lassen, dann waren die untersten ein bis zwei Lagen fertig. Die habe ich dann entfernt, die oberen weiterlaufen lassen und dann auch nach und nach entfernt!

So far I have tried the dehydrator with tomatoes, apples, pears, chillies and pineapples. Everything has dried out, but it takes longer than in the oven, so the machine takes up less space. The supplied table was great, showing how long fruit and vegetables need to dry (although you always have to correct it a bit upwards. But it offers a guideline). The layers are relatively large and you can accommodate a lot. By turning, they can be adjusted from a height of about 1.5 cm (I used it for apple chips) to about 3 cm (for dried tomatoes) (see picture). The temperature can be set differently, but in my opinion only 70 degrees (maximum setting) makes sense. Because even with the setting, you never really reach 70 degrees, the dehydrator did warm up well, but you could touch it without any problems. At least I wasn't afraid that the children could hurt themselves. It was crucial that the dehydration worked. It takes a lot longer than in the oven and you have to rotate the layers regularly (otherwise they will be dry on the bottom and not on the top). I made it easy for myself and just let the dehydrator run overnight, then the bottom one or two layers were done. I then removed them, let the upper ones continue and then gradually removed them!

Ho comprato questo essiccatore per utilizzarlo con i prodotti del mio orto: pomodori, zucchini, melanzane, fichi e cavolo nero. Mi sono preparata una buona quantità di scorte per l'inverno. Ora che i prodotti scarseggiano, mentre aspetto che maturino le zucche, sto sperimentando con le piante aromatiche e le mele. Funziona benissimo. E' facile da pulire con tutte le verdure; per i pomodori ci vuole un pò più di pazienza. Oggi ne ho regalato un altro a mio genero visto che era molto interessato alle mie essiccazioni.

La maquina es de buena calidad, bastante silenciosa y para los alimentos que yo deshidrato funciona correctamente. El plástico de las bandejas, que no contiene BPA, huele fuerte a plástico al principio pero al tercer uso el olor ya no estaba. Creo que es una pequeña inconveniencia para tener plástico seguro en el aparato. Solo hecho una cosa en falta....inserciones a medida de silicona (sin perforaciones) para hacer "cuero de fruta". Me daría igual si estuvieran disponibles como accesorio pero ni eso. Para hacer cuero de fruta creas una papilla de la fruta triturada y no es posible ponerlo directamente en las bandejas porque es liquido. Yo uso "papel vegetal para cocinar" que corto a medida. Varias maquinas deshidratadoras en E.E.U.U. si que lo tienen incluido en la caja y/o como accesorio. Pero lo dicho, funciona todo bien. Yo hago carne, frutas y verduras con éxito.

The machine is of good quality, fairly quiet, and works fine for the foods I dehydrate. The BPA-free plastic trays smell strongly of plastic at first, but after the third use the smell was gone. I think it's a minor inconvenience to have safe plastic in the machine. The only thing I miss is custom silicone inserts (without holes) to make "fruit leather." I wouldn't mind if they were available as an accessory, but not even that. To make fruit leather you create a mush from the crushed fruit and you can't put it directly on the trays because it's liquid. I use "vegetable paper for cooking" that I cut to size. Several dehydrating machines in the US do have it included in the box and/or as an accessory. But as I said, everything works fine. I make meat, fruits, and vegetables successfully.

Funziona davvero bene ! Certo è un pochino rumoroso e considerata la lunghezza dei cicli di essiccazione, conviene metterlo in un locale appartato. I risultati sono davvero eccellenti. Ho provato con della frutta, foglie di salvia ed alloro e la differenza principale rispetto a quelle essiccate in un normale forno ventilato della cucina, è il fatto che sia la frutta che le foglie mantengono il colore originale, mentre nel forno della cucina diventavano scure. Unica pecca, che a corredo, non ci sia una sorta di manuale o tabella con i tempi di essiccazione dei principali alimenti. . . ma per fortuna, su internet si trovano facilmente :-)

It works really well! Of course it is a little noisy and considering the length of the drying cycles, it is better to put it in a secluded place. The results are really excellent. I tried with fruit, sage leaves and bay leaves and the main difference compared to those dried in a normal fan oven in the kitchen is the fact that both the fruit and the leaves maintain their original color, while in the kitchen oven they became dark. The only flaw is that there is no manual or table with the drying times of the main foods... but luckily, they are easy to find on the internet :-)

L'essiccatore è il migliore della categoria, quando però è arrivato mi è sembrato un pò un giocattolo per le plastiche che son un pò così. L'incastro tra i vari piani deve essere accurato perchè bisogna lasciare gli spazi uguali per far passare la giusta aria tra un piano e l'altro. Il risultato però è eccellente specialmente per le mele.....se spruzzate con un pò di limone sono il top! Si può fare ciò che in commercio non si riesce a trovare.....specie se si hanno grandi scorte di frutta . Se si lascia di notte acceso io consiglio di chiudere la porta della stanza, non che sia rumoroso ma di sottofondo un pò si sente.

The dryer is the best in its category, but when it arrived it seemed a bit like a toy for the plastics that are a bit like that. The interlocking between the various levels must be accurate because you have to leave equal spaces to let the right amount of air pass between one level and another. However, the result is excellent especially for apples.....if you spray them with a little lemon they are the best! You can do things that you can't find on the market.....especially if you have large supplies of fruit. If you leave it on at night I recommend closing the door to the room, not that it is noisy but in the background you can hear it a bit.

funzione perfettamente , devo ancora prendere confidenza sui tempi ,ho solo essiccato le barbabietole per farci farina perche molto dipende da cosa si vuole essiccare , dallo spessore .di frutta o verdura e della quantita di acqua che contiene. non puzza per niente nemmeno al primo utilizzo .. per niente rumoroso oppure che rilascia umidita come qualcuno ha scritto .non troppo corretto vendere un prodotto in italia e non aggiungerci le istruzioni in italiano ( non indispensabile ma almeno sarebbe un aiutino sui tempi )

It works perfectly, I still have to get used to the timing, I have only dried beets to make flour because a lot depends on what you want to dry, the thickness of the fruit or vegetables and the amount of water it contains. It doesn't smell at all even when used for the first time... it's not noisy at all or releases humidity as someone wrote. It's not very correct to sell a product in Italy and not add the instructions in Italian (not essential but at least it would be a little help with timing)

I browsed for several months to really understand if it was worth spending money to dry food. After various searches I was convinced. Because in addition to having snacks outside the home I can create many other recipes and above all recycle!! Let's start from the assumption that it is the first one I have used so I have no other comparisons. I think it is perfect for a beginner who like me had no idea where to put his hands. Simple to use and very spacious. It allows you to make the most of the drying as it has 6 enormous shelves. Unlike others seen on the market at the same price but with much smaller baskets. The instruction booklet is in English but it is not essential because I repeat it is very simple and intuitive. The only flaw unfortunately is the material. The plastic is very hard and in a few weeks I have already noticed two lateral cracks on the baskets. I'm sorry because I took great care of them and they were only damaged during cleaning.

Utilizzato già diverse volte e senza alcun problema. La gestione della temperatura e dei tempi di essiccazione da display è pratica e permette di personalizzare ampiamente ogni operazione. L'ho trovato particolarmente silenzioso rispetto ad altri modelli che ho avuto modo di sentire in funzione. La forma rettangolare risulta particolarmente pratica per distribuire gli alimenti, soprattutto se si hanno da essiccare grandi pezzi di frutta o altro, tipo fette intere di ananas. Ottimo prodotto, niente da invidiare a modelli e produttori più blasonati e con 550Watt di potenza si arriva ad essiccare di tutto e in tempi ragionevoli

Used several times already and without any problems. The management of the temperature and drying times from the display is practical and allows you to widely customize each operation. I found it particularly quiet compared to other models that I had the opportunity to hear in operation. The rectangular shape is particularly practical for distributing food, especially if you have to dry large pieces of fruit or other, such as whole slices of pineapple. Excellent product, nothing to envy to more famous models and manufacturers and with 550 Watts of power you can dry everything and in reasonable times

UPDATE 02/2017 steht am Ende! Alles ist aus Plaste - was aber im Grunde nicht schlimm ist. Vorweg. Ich habe den Automaten zurückgeschickt, weil nach dreimaligem Gebrauch der Lüfter am rappeln war. Und zwar erst leise und dann wurde es immer lauter. Ansonsten ist das Gerät wirklich gut durchdacht, die Temperaturwahl und die Zeiteinstellung ist prima. Die verschiedenen Ebenen kann man - je nachdem wie man diese aufeinandersetzt - in der Höhe verstellen. Gedörrt habe ich Putenfleisch und Rindfleisch. Teils für meine Hunde aber auch für mich als Beef Jerk mit verschiedenen Marinaden und Gewürzen. Auch Apfelscheiben sowie Gurke, Pepperonie, Bananen, Zwiebeln... Bei Fleisch ist manchmal das aussenliegende nicht so schnell fertig wie das innen liegende.. Das kann man aber leicht umgehen, indem man kleinere oder dünnere Scheiben nach aussen legt. Ansonsten wurde alles ziemlich gleichmäßig erwärmt. Es wurde alles prima gedörrt und die Plastikgitter haben auch alles überlebt. Entweder in der Spülmaschuine reinigen oder mit einer weichen Bürste kurz leicht abschrubben. Das ist wirklich einfach. Alles ist stabil gebaut - nur eben die Lüftergeräusche waren nervig. Aber das kann auch ein einmaliger Fehler sein, den ich nicht zu hoch bewerte. Update02/2017: Mittlerweile habe ich das 2. Gerät im Einsatz. Dieses hat nicht die nervigen Geräusche sondern ist wirklich sehr leise! Ein Hinweis zum Schluss: Hat Ihnen meine Rezension weiter geholfen? Dann würde ich mich sehr über ein positives Feedback freuen. Falls Sie anderer Meinung sind, hinterlassen Sie doch bitte einen Kommentar, was ich hätte besser machen können. Somit helfen Sie nicht nur mir, sondern allen Interessenten und Lesern. Vielen Dank.

UPDATE 02/2017 is at the end! Everything is made of plastic - which isn't really a bad thing. anticipation. I sent the machine back because the fan was rattling after three uses. It was quiet at first and then it got louder and louder. Otherwise, the device is really well thought out, the temperature selection and the time setting is great. The different levels can be adjusted in height - depending on how you put them on top of each other. I dried turkey and beef. Partly for my dogs but also for me as beef jerk with different marinades and spices. Apple slices as well as cucumber, pepperoni, bananas, onions... With meat, the outside is sometimes not ready as quickly as the inside. But you can easily avoid this by placing smaller or thinner slices on the outside. Otherwise, everything was heated fairly evenly. Everything was dried well and the plastic grids survived everything. Either clean in the dishwasher or scrub gently with a soft brush. That is really easy. Everything is solidly built - only the fan noise was annoying. But that can also be a one-time mistake, which I don't value too highly. Update02/2017: I am now using the 2nd device. This does not have the annoying noises but is really very quiet! A note at the end: Did my review help you? Then I would be very happy about a positive feedback. If you have a different opinion, please leave a comment as to what I could have done better. So you not only help me, but all interested parties and readers. Thanks very much.

Der Dörrautomat ist nicht das hochwertigste Gerät, was mich aber nicht stört. Es erfüllt seinen Zweck und die Bedienung ist denkbar einfach. Wenn ich Kräuter, z.B. Schnittlauch trockne, verwende ich Backpapier. Diesen Tipp habe ich im Vorfeld im Internet gelesen. Klappt auch sehr gut. In der Bedienungsanleitung gibt es eine Tabelle mit den Vorschlägen welche Obst- und Gemüsesorten man trocknen kann und wie sich das Obst/Gemüse anfühlen muss beim Trocknungstest. Ausserdem gibt es ein Rezept für Beef Jerkey (getrocknetes, mariniertes Fleisch). Die Trocknung klappt sehr gut und die Handhabung des Gerätes ist sehr simpel. Einziger Kritikpunkt den ich habe ist das doch relativ kurze Kabel. Mit ca. 1 m Länge ist es doch sehr knapp bemessen. Man muss entweder einen passablen Platz mit Steckdose haben für das Gerät, wo es auch mal 10 Stunden (oder länger, je nachdem was man trocknet) stehen kann oder man arbeitet mit einem Verlängerungskabel. Ein etwas längeres Kabel wäre hier auf jeden Fall hilfreich gewesen. Der Automat hat eine sehr gute Größe, so dass man wirklich ordentlich was unterbringt. Die Scheiben der Früchte sollten immer gleich dick sein und gleichmäßig geschnitten, so dass sie auch gleichmäßig trocken werden. Die Lautstärke des Gerätes ist OK. Bei uns steht es ohnehin im Keller weil wir ansonsten keinen geeigneten Platz in der Wohnung gefunden hätten wo das Gerät auch mal stehen bleiben kann ohne dass es stört. Auf jeden Fall ein sehr gutes Gerät, das hält was es verspricht. Würden wir wieder kaufen.

The dehydrator is not the highest quality device, but that doesn't bother me. It serves its purpose and is very easy to use. When I dry herbs, such as chives, I use baking paper. I read this tip online beforehand. Also works very well. In the user manual there is a table with the suggestions which types of fruit and vegetables you can dry and how the fruit/vegetables should feel during the drying test. There is also a recipe for Beef Jerkey (dried, marinated meat). The drying works very well and the handling of the device is very simple. The only criticism I have is the relatively short cable. With a length of approx. 1 m, it is very tight. You either have to have a suitable place with a socket for the device, where it can stand for 10 hours (or longer, depending on what you dry) or you work with an extension cord. A slightly longer cable would definitely have been helpful here. The machine has a very good size, so that you can really store something neatly. The slices of fruit should always be the same thickness and cut evenly so that they dry evenly. The volume of the device is OK. We have it in the basement anyway, because otherwise we wouldn't have found a suitable place in the apartment where the device could stand without being bothered. In any case, a very good device that keeps what it promises. Would we buy again.

Sono molto soddisfatto lo utilizzo di notte e la mattina è tutto pronto ....devo ancora sperimentare tante ricette ho intenzione di acquistare un buon libro ...cerco di essiccare soprattutto verdura perché la frutta è ricca di zuccheri e a me viene voglia di stuzzicare dopo cena e rischierei di mettere su del peso ...per adesso essicco zucchine peperoni funghi ...ho essiccato anche zenzero e limone poi macinato e faccio la tisana .....buonissima la frutta ho essiccato banane kiwi cachi ...però come dicevo prima uso più le verdure...ho scelto questo modello un po più potente però impiego meno tempo ....sarebbe un po ingombrante però fa anche arredo ...per adesso non posso dire nulla di negativo...lo consiglio a tutti .....

I am very satisfied, I use it at night and in the morning everything is ready.... I still have to try out many recipes, I intend to buy a good book... I try to dry especially vegetables because fruit is rich in sugars and I feel like nibbling after dinner and I would risk putting on weight... for now I dry courgettes, peppers, mushrooms... I also dried ginger and lemon, then ground it and make herbal tea..... the fruit is delicious, I dried bananas, kiwis, persimmons... but as I said before, I use vegetables more... I chose this model, which is a little more powerful, but it takes less time... it would be a little bulky, but it is also decorative... for now I can't say anything negative... I recommend it to everyone.....

Da ich sehr gerne getrocknete Apfelringe esse, diese aber recht teuer sind habe ich nach einem entsprechendem Dörrgerät gesucht. Den bananarama von Klarstein fand ich aufgrund der zahlreichen Lagen und dem Preis ansprechend. Vorab: mittlerweile benutze ich das Gerät sehr gerne und das Obst schmeckt auch gut und natürlich. Nach entsprechender Vorbereitung ( Abspülen der einzelnen Gitter ) habe ich zunächst Äpfel gedörrt. Nach ca 6 Stunden waren die ca3mm dicken Apfelringe auch gut getrocknet. Leider konnte ich die erste Fuhre komplett wegschmeißen, da diese nach Plastik geschmeckt hat. Hier war ich um ehrlich zu sein leicht am Zweifeln, da dies ja alles andere als gesund sein kann. Ich habe also nochmal alles abgewaschen und einen weiteren Versuch gestartet. leider auch hier weiterhin ein leichter Nebengeschmackt. Nach dem dritten Versuch war dieser jedoch nicht mehr vorhanden, hierfür gibt es von mir jedoch einen Punktabzug. Ich habe mittlerweile auch Kiwi, Pflaumen und Möhren getrocknet, alles natürlich in Scheiben. Äpfel sind allerdings weiter mein Favorit. Das übrige Obst hat etwas länger zum trocknen gebraucht, wie lange kommt wirklich immer drauf an wie dick die jeweiligen Scheiben sind: ggf. bietet es sich an diese vorher kurz auf Küchenpapier zu legen. Der Timer funktioniert eiwandfrei und gibt nach der entsprechenden Zeit ein recht lautes piepen von sich. Beim ersten Mal war das Dörrgerät in der Nacht fertig und ich bin selbst duch eine geschlossene Tür davon wach geworden. Im laufenden Betrieb brummt der Motor natürlich entsprechend. Dies ist von der Lautstärke ungefähr mit einer laufenden leisen Spülmaschine zu vergleichen. Insgesamt kann ich das Produkt empfehlen, man braucht nur wirklich entsprechend Platz wo man dieses aufbewahren kann.

Since I like to eat dried apple rings, but they are quite expensive, I looked for a suitable dehydrator. I found Klarstein's bananarama appealing because of the numerous layers and the price. First of all: I now really enjoy using the device and the fruit also tastes good and natural. After the appropriate preparation (rinsing off the individual grids), I first dried apples. After about 6 hours, the ca3mm thick apple rings were also well dried. Unfortunately, I was able to throw away the first load completely because it tasted like plastic. To be honest, I was a bit doubtful here, since this can be anything but healthy. So I washed everything again and started another attempt. Unfortunately, there is still a slight aftertaste here. After the third attempt, however, this was no longer available, but I deducted a point for this. I've also dried kiwi, plums and carrots, all sliced, of course. Apples are still my favorite though. The rest of the fruit took a little longer to dry, how long it really depends on how thick the slices are: it may be a good idea to put them on kitchen paper beforehand. The timer works flawlessly and emits a fairly loud beep after the appropriate time. The first time the dehydrator was ready in the night and I woke up from it even through a closed door. During operation, the engine naturally hums accordingly. In terms of volume, this can be roughly compared to a running, quiet dishwasher. Overall I can recommend the product, you just really need space where you can store it.

L'acquisto di questo essiccatore e' stato lungo e faticoso.... ho letto tutte le recensioni presenti ti tutti gli essiccatori presenti sul mercato sotto i 100 euro, questo era il più professionale a cifre accettabili. Ero perplessa sulla dimensione, ma sono contenta di averlo preso un po' piu grande di quelli rotondi, sabato l'ho riempito x 5 ripiani con 8 mele e 4 pere e un ripiano con il trito di due carote e due cipolle. In 24 ore tutto perfettamente essiccato. A metà tempo ho invertito l'ordine dei ripiani perché il calore arrivando da sotto nn può essere totalmente uniforme, ma sono molto molto soddisfatta. Ero anche perplessa sul lasciarlo acceso anche di notte o uscendo di casa, ma il calore sprigionato è davvero minimo e' solo appena appena tiepido, per cui si può davvero fare, oltre al fatto che e' progettato esattamente per questo. Ve lo straconsiglio!

The purchase of this dehydrator was long and tiring .... I read all the reviews present of all the dehydrators on the market under 100 euros, this was the most professional at acceptable prices. I was perplexed about the size, but I'm happy to have taken it a little bigger than the round ones, on Saturday I filled it x 5 shelves with 8 apples and 4 pears and one shelf with the chopped two carrots and two onions. In 24 hours everything perfectly dried. Halfway through the time I reversed the order of the shelves because the heat coming from below cannot be totally uniform, but I am very very satisfied. I was also perplexed about leaving it on even at night or when leaving the house, but the heat released is really minimal and only slightly warm, so it really can be done, in addition to the fact that it is designed exactly for this. I highly recommend it!

Très bon appareil. Très puissant et déshydrate de façon uniforme: 12 heures pour des bananes (alors que mon ancien appareil mettait 18 heures). Il est vraiment très grand. Je trouve les plateaux carrés plus facile à organiser que les ronds. Au niveau sonore il est correct, la plupart de ces appareils étant assez bruyante. Il y a un tapis pour le cuir, ce qui est un plus bien que je ne fasse que rarement un seul plateau de cuir.... Je ne sais pas si ils sont vendus séparément et si c'est le cas j'en achèterai en fonction du tarif. Et surtout par rapport à mon précédent il possède une minuterie et un réglage "fin" de la température (je ne connais pas sa justesse par contre). A noter que le coloris vert est le moins cher à aujourd'hui mais étant donné que je le range entre les utilisations ce n'est pas réellement un problème.

Very good device. Very powerful and dehydrates evenly: 12 hours for bananas (while my old device took 18 hours). It is really very large. I find the square trays easier to organize than the round ones. In terms of noise, it is correct, most of these devices being quite noisy. There is a mat for the leather, which is a plus although I rarely make a single leather tray.... I do not know if they are sold separately and if so I will buy some depending on the price. And especially compared to my previous one, it has a timer and a "fine" temperature adjustment (I do not know its accuracy however). Note that the green color is the least expensive today but since I store it between uses it is not really a problem.

J'ai profité des soldes pour me l'offrir. Il est arrivé très vite, très bien conditionné. Cependant, le mode d'emploi est en allemand et dans un anglais parfois... étonnant (aspargus au lieu d'asparagus, pour asperge et plein d'autres). Il semble que l'on puisse obtenir une version en français auprès du fabricant. La déshydratation des aliments étant une des plus anciennes méthodes de conservation, cela m’intéressait. Après deux essais, ce déshydrateur semble bien fonctionner. Attention, il est assez volumineux et sans doute pas idéal pour de petites cuisines. Quelques précautions sont souhaitables : le laisser chauffer à vide durant 2-3 heures à la première utilisation pour se débarrasser des odeurs de plastique. Commencer à 60°C durant 1 heure pour accélérer le processus puis repasser à 42-43° (pour ne pas dénaturer les vitamines). Surtout (mon premier essai), je déconseille de déshydrater des champignons avec d'autres fruits ou légumes (dans mon cas des pommes et des bananes). Tout a pris le goût de champignon.

I took advantage of the sales to buy it. It arrived very quickly, very well packaged. However, the instructions are in German and sometimes in a surprising English (aspargus instead of asparagus, for asparagus and many others). It seems that you can get a French version from the manufacturer. Since dehydrating food is one of the oldest methods of preservation, I was interested. After two tries, this dehydrator seems to work well. Be careful, it is quite bulky and probably not ideal for small kitchens. A few precautions are advisable: let it heat up empty for 2-3 hours the first time you use it to get rid of the plastic smell. Start at 60°C for 1 hour to speed up the process then go back to 42-43° (so as not to denature the vitamins). Above all (my first try), I do not recommend dehydrating mushrooms with other fruits or vegetables (in my case apples and bananas). Everything took on the taste of mushrooms.

Article conforme à mes attentes. Pratique avec ses plateaux permettant 2 hauteurs de l'espace de séchage. Permet de sécher une assez grande quantité de produits en une seule fois. Pas trop lourd à manipuler. Son format permet de le stocker sur un petit meuble ou un appareil ménager lors de son fonctionnement. Il fonctionne bien et les fruits séchés sont délicieux. Les grilles se nettoient facilement avec une petite brosse après un trempage de quelques minutes dans l'eau tiède, parfois elles ont juste besoin d'être rincées. La notice est en anglais, dommage pour certains. Elle n'est pas non plus très précise mais j'ai trouvé des informations pertinentes sur les sites spécifiques.

Its format allows it to be stored on a small piece of furniture or a household appliance when it is operating. It works well and the dried fruits are delicious. The grids are easily cleaned with a small brush after soaking for a few minutes in warm water, sometimes they just need to be rinsed. The instructions are in English, which is a shame for some. It is also not very precise but I found relevant information on the specific sites.

Schon lange war ich scharf auf so ein Gerät und habe nun seit über 2 Jahren immer mal wieder sporadisch gesucht, doch mich erst nicht durchringen können, eins zu kaufen. Entweder erschienen mit die Automaten zu klein oder aber sie waren schon sehr groß und zugleich dann auch sehr teuer. Dann habe ich mich seit über einem Jahr nicht mehr drum bemüht und war überrascht, was sich auf dem Markt der Dörrgeräte getan hat. Schlussendlich hat es mir dieser Dörrer vom Klarstein angetan, weil er nicht nur die variable Temperatur hat und rechteckig ist statt rund, sondern auch einen Timer besitzt. Man muss ein bisschen ausprobieren, wie lang man bei welcher Temperatur trocknen muss, um das für einen selbst optimale Ergebnis zu erzielen, doch es lässt sich relativ schnell heraus finden. Am meisten liebt die gesamte Familie Bananenchips, die wir mit einem Eierschneider in schön gleich dicke Stücke hinbekommen und die ohne zusätzlichen Zucker (frag mich immer, warum das bei den käuflichen Chips mit daran kommt, Bananen sind doch eh süß) super knusprig und lecker werden. Auch Gemüse als Grundlage für Brühen oder Kräuter ... schmeckt alles super. Das Gerät läuft leiser, als ich es erwartet habe, sodass es auch kein Problem ist, es nachts laufen zu lassen. Es stört niemanden. Es lässt sich sehr leicht reinigen, die 6 Lagen bieten schön viel Platz und relativieren den Verbrauch - bei voller Ladung, versteht sich. Insgesamt ist es aber dennoch nicht so extrem wuchtig, es hat einen dauerhaften Platz auf unserer Arbeitsplatte gefunden und wir möchten es nicht mehr missen. Gründliches Spülen der Tabletts und Auswischen der Basis-Station ist vor Erstgebrauch jedoch sehr wichtig, ebenso das Betreiben über ca. 2-3 Stunden ohne Inhalt, damit sich die Gerüche aus dem Motor verflüchtigen. Danach war aber alles bestens. Was die Temperatur anbetrifft, wie genau und konstant sie erreicht und gehalten wird, kann ich nicht sagen, da ich keine Möglichkeit habe, das nachzuprüfen. Da wir aber keinen Wert auf Rohkost legen, ist mir persönlich das letztlich auch egal, solange das Ergebnis stimmt und das tut es. Nach der Hälfte der Zeit tausche ich auch die Position der Tabletts, sprich: die untersten nach oben und umgekehrt. Das macht dann alles schön gleichmäßig trocken (und knusprig, wenn gewünscht). Volle 5 Sterne!!!

I've been keen on such a device for a long time and have been looking sporadically for more than 2 years now, but couldn't bring myself to buy one at first. Either the machines seemed too small or they were very large and at the same time very expensive. Then I haven't bothered with it for over a year and was surprised at what was happening on the dehydrator market. In the end, I liked this dehydrator from Klarstein because it not only has a variable temperature and is rectangular instead of round, but also has a timer. You have to experiment a bit to find out how long you have to dry at which temperature in order to achieve the best possible result for you, but you can find out relatively quickly. The whole family loves the banana chips the most, which we can cut into pieces of the same thickness with an egg slicer and which are super crispy and delicious without additional sugar (always ask me why that comes with the chips you can buy, bananas are sweet anyway). . Vegetables as a basis for broths or herbs ... everything tastes great. The unit runs quieter than I expected so leaving it on at night is not a problem either. It doesn't bother anyone. It is very easy to clean, the 6 layers offer a lot of space and put the consumption into perspective - with a full charge, of course. Overall, however, it's not extremely bulky, it has found a permanent place on our worktop and we don't want to do without it anymore. Thoroughly rinsing the trays and wiping out the base station before using it for the first time is very important, as is operating it for about 2-3 hours without content so that the odors from the engine evaporate. But after that everything was fine. As for the temperature, how accurate and constant it is achieved and maintained, I cannot say as I have no way of verifying that. But since we don't value raw food, I personally don't care as long as the result is right, and it is. Halfway through, I also switch the position of the trays, i.e. the bottom ones up and vice versa. This then makes everything nice and evenly dry (and crispy, if desired). Full 5 stars!!!

ho messo 4 stelline solo perché il timer si può impostare solo fino a un ora e per il tipo essiccazioni per cui interessava a me, che sono dalle 6 alle 8 ore o più, direi che è pressoché inutile ;D inoltre una volta l ho impostato per sbaglio e non mi sembrava che nemmeno funzionasse..per il resto mi sembra che funzioni bene, per ora l ho usato solo due volte, è un po' rumoroso, io l ho messo in cucina e chiudo la porta quando lo metto in funzione perché personalmente mi dà un po' fastidio quel brusio di sottofondo. esteticamente è carino, un po' grandicello, per l uso che ne faccio io forse bastavano meno ripiani, per ora non mi è ancora capitato di attivarlo riempiendoli tutti, comunque i piani si possono smontare molto facilmente e uno può tenere solo quelle che gli servono e azionarlo. in ogni caso lo consiglio, per una dieta raw vegan mi sembra molto più utile un tipo di essiccatore di questa dimensione dove nel caso si facciano cracker e simili diventa più semplici stenderli in questo tipo di ripiani belli spaziosi e grandi

I gave it 4 stars only because the timer can only be set up to an hour and for the type of drying I was interested in, which is 6 to 8 hours or more, I would say it is practically useless ;D also once I set it by mistake and it didn't even seem to work..otherwise it seems to work well, for now I have only used it twice, it is a bit noisy, I put it in the kitchen and I close the door when I turn it on because personally that background noise bothers me a bit. aesthetically it is nice, a bit big, for the use I make of it perhaps fewer shelves would have been enough, for now I have not yet happened to activate it by filling them all, however the shelves can be dismantled very easily and one can keep only the ones they need and turn it on. in any case I recommend it, for a raw vegan diet it seems much more useful to me a type of dryer of this size where in the case of making crackers and similar it becomes easier to spread them out on this type of nice spacious and large shelves

I am going to test drying beef, using carpaccio meat to avoid the tedious cutting, this will accompany the raclettes next winter instead of the overly expensive Grisons meat.

Ce deshydrateur est assez efficace puisqu'il a une puissance de 550w. Lorsque l' on a la notice en français ( il suffit de la demander au fournisseur ) le fonctionnement est correct , la température ainsi que le temps de la minuterie sont réglables ; les étages ont également deux positions de hauteur ; je suis satisfait de mon achat . (même pour sécher les bananas ) . A noter que cet article acheté sur Amazon était très bien emballé .

This dehydrator is quite efficient since it has a power of 550w. When you have the instructions in French (just ask the supplier) the operation is correct, the temperature as well as the timer time are adjustable; the floors also have two height positions; I am satisfied with my purchase. (even for drying bananas). Note that this item purchased on Amazon was very well packaged.

COSIDERAZIONI GENERALI Il prodotto arriva molto ben imballato, con una scatola doppia. L'estetica è piacevole e sta benissimo sul ripiano della cucina. Gli essiccatori sono essenzialmente di due tipi: quelli mandano l'aria calda in orizzontale (molto più costosi e a forma di parallelepipedo) e quelli in cui il calore è prodotto in basso e si muove verticalmente verso l'alto (generalmente di forma circolare). Questo Essiccatore è del secondo tipo, quello più economico, però è a forma di parallelepipedo, molto più comoda.   Possiedo anche un apparecchio del primo tipo e devo dire che, facendo una prova comparata,  con mia sorpresa non ho riscontrato differenze evidenti nel trattamento della frutta tra i due essiccatori. Purtroppo il manuale è solo in inglese e tedesco. Per questo motivo nella recensione fornirò anche qualche consiglio pratico, dato che da alcuni anni utilizzo prodotti analoghi ed ho una certa esperienza. - CARATTERISTICHE Elettrodomestico molto funzionale e ben progettato. E' fornito di sei ripiani che si sovrappongono incastrandosi l'uno all'altro. I piani sono dotati sui due lati corti di comode maniglie. Può essere usato anche con pochi ripiani, ma è conveniente dal punto di vista economico del risparmio energetico riempirlo completamente: infatti, sia che si usi un ripiano o sei, il consumo di elettricità è identico. Un ulteriore ripiano di plastica flessibile va posizionato in basso per proteggere da eventuali sgocciolamenti la parte del motore con la ventola, e rendere così più agevole la pulizia. I comandi consistono in tre tasti ed un piccolo display nella parte frontale: - Accensione / Spegnimento - Timer preimpostato sulle 12 ore ma che può essere settato premendo il pulsante ripetutamente per un periodo da 1 a 48 ore. - Temperatura preimpostata a 70°. Premendo due volte il tasto torna a 40° e di lì si può regolare a piacere fino a un massimo di 70°. Per quanto riguarda la pulizia di solito basta sciacquare i ripiani o lavarli con sapone neutro, tipo Marsiglia o Aleppo, oppure con acqua e bicarbonato.  Meglio evitare di usare detersivi chimici i cui residui potrebbero depositarsi sui gli alimenti, rovinandone il gusto e le caratteristiche. - PROVA D'USO La conservazione tramite disidratazione è uno dei metodi più antichi e naturali inventati dall'uomo, per disporre di alimenti nutrienti e genuini in qualsiasi stagione dell'anno. Ho provato questo prodotto con quattro tipo di frutta che contengono differenti percentuali di liquidi: mela e pera più secche, ananas media, albicocche alta. La riprova è data dal fatto che mele e pere erano pronte in un giorno, l'ananas in 36 ore e le albicocche in circa due giorni. La frutta va tagliata in fette di circa 4-5 mm di spessore e disposta sui ripiani senza sovrapporre le fette.  Frutti piccoli tipo prugne o albicocche vanno divisi in metà, togliendo il nocciolo. Per un grado ottimale di  essiccatura è meglio che la frutta non sia troppo disidratata, ma leggermente morbida ed elastica al tatto.  In questo modo è piacevole da masticare, con un gusto ottimo grazie anche ai suoi zuccheri naturali che vengono esaltati dalla disidratazione. Quindi,  durante il processo di essiccatura, due o tre volte al giorno conviene controllare il grado di disidratazione. Ho verificato che per la frutta va bene una temperatura di 50-55°. A grandi linee ci si può regolare così: - 40° per la cottura molto lenta, utilizzata in genere dai seguaci del  bio-crudismo. - 55 ° frutta, funghi, pomodori, verdura in genere da mangiare o da cucinare senza reidratazione. - 70 ° essiccatura rapida e potente per alimenti che vanno consumati molto secchi (ad es. peperoncino) o reidratati (verdure liofilizzate, pasta fatta in casa, etc.) - CONSERVAZIONE La frutta così ottenuta è squisita e ideale per la colazione, le gite, lo sci e le attività in genere, che richiedono uno spuntino

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS The product arrives very well packed, with a double box. The aesthetic is pleasant and looks great on the kitchen counter. Dryers are essentially of two types: those sending hot air horizontally (much more expensive and in the shape of a parallelepiped) and those in which the heat is produced at the bottom and moves vertically upwards (generally circular in shape). This Dryer is of the second type, the cheaper one, however it is parallelepiped shaped, much more comfortable. I also own an appliance of the first type and I must say that, doing a comparative test, to my surprise I didn't find any evident differences in the treatment of fruit between the two dryers. Unfortunately the manual is only in English and German. For this reason, I will also provide some practical advice in the review, given that I have been using similar products for some years and have some experience. - CHARACTERISTICS Very functional and well designed appliance. It is equipped with six shelves that overlap and fit together. The tops are equipped on the two short sides with comfortable handles. It can also be used with just a few shelves, but it is convenient from the economic point of view of energy saving to fill it completely: in fact, whether you use one shelf or six, the electricity consumption is identical. An additional flexible plastic shelf is positioned at the bottom to protect the part of the motor with the fan from any drips, and thus make cleaning easier. The controls consist of three keys and a small display on the front: - On / Off - Timer preset to 12 hours but which can be set by pressing the button repeatedly for a period from 1 to 48 hours. - Preset temperature at 70°. By pressing the button twice it returns to 40° and from there it can be adjusted as desired up to a maximum of 70°. As far as cleaning is concerned, it is usually enough to rinse the shelves or wash them with neutral soap, such as Marseille or Aleppo, or with water and bicarbonate. It is better to avoid using chemical detergents whose residues could deposit on the food, ruining its taste and characteristics. - PROOF OF USE Preservation through dehydration is one of the oldest and most natural methods invented by man, to have nutritious and genuine food at any season of the year. I tried this product with four types of fruit that contain different percentages of liquid: drier apple and pear, medium pineapple, high apricot. The proof is given by the fact that the apples and pears were ready in one day, the pineapple in 36 hours and the apricots in about two days. The fruit should be cut into slices about 4-5 mm thick and arranged on the shelves without overlapping the slices. Small fruits such as plums or apricots should be divided in half, removing the stone. For an optimal degree of drying it is better that the fruit is not too dehydrated, but slightly soft and elastic to the touch. In this way it is pleasant to chew, with an excellent taste thanks also to its natural sugars which are enhanced by dehydration. Therefore, during the drying process, two or three times a day it is advisable to check the degree of dehydration. I have verified that a temperature of 50-55° is fine for fruit. Broadly speaking, it can be adjusted as follows: - 40° for very slow cooking, generally used by followers of bio-crudism. - 55° fruit, mushrooms, tomatoes, vegetables in general to be eaten or cooked without rehydration. - 70 ° rapid and powerful drying for foods that must be eaten very dry (e.g. chili peppers) or rehydrated (freeze-dried vegetables, homemade pasta, etc.) - PRESERVATION The fruit thus obtained is delicious and ideal for breakfast, outings , skiing and activities in general that require a snack
