    Save money and storage space by preserving food with the Sunbeam Food Lab Food Dehydrator. Whether you’re culturing yoghurt or drying apricots, this unit gives you the space and versatility to get the job done.

    With six large shelves to work with, it’s easy to do your drying in bulk. You can adjust the shelf height to avoid cramming with larger food items. Horizontal airflow ensures even coverage throughout the cavity, meaning there’s no need to rotate your shelves during the cycle. Choose from eight precise temperatures - make dough on 35°C, or prepare beef jerky with a temperature of 70°C. Using the countdown timer, you can dry food for as long as 19.5 hours, setting your duration in 30-minute increments. The unit will switch off automatically when the timer reaches zero.

    The Sunbeam Food Lab Food Dehydrator will serve as your very own food preservation station. It’s a great appliance for those who want nothing to go to waste.
    Countdown timer

    Ideal for those with busy schedules, you can use the 19.5-hour countdown timer to prepare your favourite treats while you are at work, out running errands, or even while you sleep. The unit will automatically switch off at the conclusion of the cycle.

    No tray rotation required

    The horizontal drying action results in even drying from back to front. You won’t have to worry about rotating your trays, and you can enjoy your dried food without any icky moisture spots.

    Eight temperature settings

    This dehydrator features eight temperature settings, ranging from 35°C to 70°C. Use the lower temperatures for making dough, drying flowers, or for culturing yoghurt. Turn up the heat for recipes such as fruit rolls and beef jerky.

    Six large drying trays

    With six large drying trays, you can dry a smorgasbord of fruits in one go for greater time and energy efficiency. Remove shelves to make room when leavening bread or culturing yogurt, or when drying a generous bunch of grapes.

    The Sunbeam food dehydrator is generally well-received, with users praising its ease of use and ability to evenly dry a variety of foods. Many report making excellent jerky and dried fruit. However, some issues have been noted, such as difficulty cleaning the plastic trays and concerns about the durability of the fan or heating element. Overall, the dehydrator seems to work well for most users, though some caution is warranted regarding certain components.

    Works ok but annoying beeps.
    Have been using this unit for about 1 year. Seems to work well, we dehydrate fruit and also use it on a low setting to make our own jars of yoghurt. One major negative though is the very annoying 20 loud beeps when the cycle is finished and the unit turns off, it's very loud and annoying such that we have to set the time so that it won't finish during the night, it wakes everyone up. What dumb "engineer" thought that 20 beeps was necessary? It's ridiculous and not necessary there should be a function to turn this off. I also agree with another reviewer that the plastic trays are not what is advertised. Considering the above, I wouldn't buy another one.
