Anyone use the Nesco FD-60 dehydrator from wal-mart?

If so what are your thoughts on this dehydrator? what is the temperature range? it says its adjustable, but it doesnt say what the range is.
an adjustable food dehydrator for 45 dollars new seems like a steal, so i want to make sure its not a joke...although we ARE talking about wal-mart here...all my shroom growing needs at rollback prices, motherfucker!

95 F - I forget. It's what I use but I'm not at home to check it out. Works fine.

I have a FD 50/30 (550 watt) dehydrator .... 4 tray, variable temp. from 95 to 145 .... it is an American Harvest which I believe is the old name for Nesco ....
Anyway .... I got it on e-bay for around $30 bucks (with shipping) after bidding on a bunch of them .... and lots of 'monkeying around' and hassle ..... etc .....
Anyway ..... $45 bucks NEW ..... walk in, buy it, walk away .....
SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL TO ME.
These dehydrators work great.

I've been using an FD-60 for a few years and there are no complaints about the machine itself.
The only downfall is that extra trays are rather pricey. I typically use six trays to dry 1100-1400 wet grams without cramping.

thats what im screamin'...most dehydrators ive found with adjustable temp are at least 75 dollars.
anyways, if anyone else wants this dehydrator, you can have it shipped to your local walmart for free. just go to wal-mart.com and search under housewares for "dehydrator" and it will come up as "snackmaster..." for 45 dollars.
there are several other wal-marts in my area that dont carry it, so if youre impatient it might just be a matter of driving to a few different walmarts.

Those are single flushes from single casings.
There have only been a few times in which I've had to stack the dehydrator 20 trays tall and support it inbetween two bookshelves.
The FD-60 is only 40-45 bucks at Wally World and is typically always in stock. Best of luck to you in your choice.
