Hi, I bought a dehydrator at my local Walmart a few days ago. It is made by NESCO, American Harvest. It is electrical and plugs into a normal outlet. It has 4 drying trays that stack on top of each other - you can by additional trays, holds up to 12 trays. It works well!! I have made jerky in it several times already. There are different temperature settings so you can dry fruit and other things in it as well. It was $39.99. Good luck drying meat! Karen
