First-hand notes

John 4.4

The 80 hour digital timer is very helpful for making thick beef jerky without having to reset the machine.

Bryan 4.8

I like the glass French doors on the 6-tray model because I can see the fruit drying without opening the unit.

Kenneth 4.2

The dual drying zones in the RES10 let me dry herbs and jerky at two different temperatures at the same time.
