Our Company Policies

There are many dehydrators on the market today, but not many good ones. We've selected these food dehydrators from American Harvest, L'Equip and Excalibur on the basis of capacity, proper drying temperature, superior airflow, and quality of construction. Customer satisfaction with these dehydrators has been extremely high, confirming our opinion that they represent the top of the field. You can buy other machines for less, but they dry slowly and non-uniformly, they're work to use, and they die early. We know because the past buyers of those units tell us about it when they come to us for dehydrators that work well and last a good long time.


You have the right idea when it comes to customer service. You were responsive, friendly, informative, honest about your appraisal of product function and quality, and took all the time I needed to make a decision. I wish you success and hope to do business with you in the future. Mike Taves, Ithaca NY

I’ve put my new American Harvest GardenMaster through its paces this summer, and it’s come out shining! It dries fast, even and thoroughly. The mesh screens work great, even with sticky tomatoes. We discovered a new technique this year for making canned spaghetti sauce. We dried about half of the tomatoes partway, using fresh tomatoes for the remainder. It cut way down on the cooking time needed to thicken it up, and resulted in a much thicker, tomato-rich sauce. It also saved on energy used for cooking. We’ve been canning our own sauce for over 25 years, and this is the best we’ve ever made. Steve Tobin, Hampton MN

Excalibur™ Dehydrator Model 2900

The Excalibur® Dehydrator is a premium dehydrator with a solid track record. It features exceptionally solid ABS polymer construction (built in USA) and its patented Excalibur Parallexx™ airflow system circulates air from back to front of dehydrator so each tray receives its own supply of fresh, dry air. This exclusive Excaliber dehydrator design prevents flavor-sharing and produces even drying without time consuming tray rotation. The Excalibur food dehydrator has a convenient removable front cover (not illustrated) that allows you to remove any tray without disturbing other trays. Trays are fully removable for full access.

The Excalibur® 2900 Dehydrator
comes with 9 large drying trays, each 14.1" x 14.1" (1.36 sq. ft.), for a total of 12.4 square feet of drying area! (14 square feet if you count the tray edges.)
