Hi Chuck,
I have been using the Excalibur 2900 (with 9 trays) for about two months
now and I love it!
I did some research on the Living and Raw Foods web site at:
http://www.living-foods.com/marketplace/dehydrators.html
Some of the reasons that I purchased the Excalibur are that it has a
good temperature control (range is 75 to 145 degrees), dries evenly on
square racks with a fan at the rear, comes with teflex sheets for
"mushy/runny" stuff, and most of the reviews were very good. The only
drawback is the noise from the fan. But I keep it in a room away from my
living area and it isn't too obnoxious that way.
Living and Raw Foods have always been prompt with their orders and send
confirmations too. I have purchased several items from their site.
I bought the 9 tray instead of the 4 or 5 tray because it offers more
versatility than the others. My food dries evenly and in about the
amount of time recommended in the accompanying booklet. I have also used
recipes in RAW by Juliano. I especially like the recipe for Living
Buckwheat Crust and have made it twice in 2 weeks. It reminds me of raw
ground beef.
Let me know how you like it if you buy this one.
Live raw,
Kate
