Hey guys Wanting to get myself a dehydrator over ebay. You can't tell from most of the advertisments wether you can controll the heat in them or not. Either way if say I got a 250 watt one and I have bad luck and I can't change the temperature. How hot do you think it would get? would it be ok for drying fruits? peace

I saw a Nesco at walmart the other day, it was cheap and let you set temperatures for different foods... had a dial I think.

Hard to predict what temps will happen, but just about any dehydrator should work. If you have a choice, go with the least wattage you can find, and if it's too warm, just disconnect the heating element.

make sure if you use a dimmer switch that its rated for 250 watts or whatever max watts dehydrator is using, i think most should be fine but not sure.

I bought a dehydrator and its got like a dial for how many degrees you want on it. How hot should it be? It says vegitables 135 degrees but i didn't know if that was too hot or not.

The nesco ppl on this board set their's to 95F.
135 should be fine though.
