I have two circular, 5-tray stacking dehydrators. Both are Mr. Coffee. We dry 1/2 inch slabs of tomatoes with no porblems, and the fans in them can fill the entire home with the sweet smell of heated habeneros--right at, but just below the volatization level. Me thinks you condemn all too wide a swath through the varieties of dehydrators. I've been on and off this list for several years and have never seen such a sweeping stroke. Mayhaps you could illuminate the darkness of the Great Dismal Dehydrator Swamp for the rest of us. Neh? carpo
