    Great workmanship, great product.

    published

    The BioChef 6 tray that we purchased works every time. Made some great beef jerky, which was our main reason for purchasing, and now looking to expand into fruits and vegies. Ease of operation, and ease of access are good. I would not hesitate in recommending BoiChef to anyone we know.

    Not what I expected

    published

    The machine worked well but I don’t think it was what I wanted. I had hoped for crunchy veggies but got pliable leathery veggies. Perhaps I wanted freeze dried? But a quiet easy to use machine. Apples and bananas worked well tho I dried for a bit in the oven to get some crunch.

    Quiet and quick

    published

    Dehydrator is so quiet compared to my previous one. Very easy to use, great to be able to look at produce through clear door, now I just have to perfect my timing so that fruit is not too dry. Highly recommend for value, efficiency and quietness. The wire mesh tray works a treat to stop items from sticking.

    Great to hear you are enjoying the dehydrator so much. Drying times depend on thickness, ambient temperature, freshness of ingredient and so on. Just it really is quite a process of experimenting. All the best with it:)

    Thank you!

    Great while it was working

    published

    I have had my dehydrator for around 14 months, using it maybe once a fortnight to make chicken jerky for our dog.
    It worked really nicely.
    Today, the fan stopped working, just as it did for other reviewers on this page. It is still under warranty, so I will have to send the unit back to the seller, Vitality 4 Life. The manual has already indicated that for all warranty claims, cost to return the unit for repairs are the responsibility of the buyer and these costs will likely not be reimbursed. That's bad business already as far as I'm concerned.

    I will update this post as my warranty claim progresses.

    Healthy foods here I come!

    published

    So far, I am very pleased with my BioChef Arizona 6 Tray. My order was processed quickly and the BioChef arrived sooner than I expected.
    I have only had it for a coupe of days and have so far dried some of my home grown Pink Lady apples. I am nibbling the results as I type this review. My son also loved the dried apples I gave him. I may try a longer drying time next as I would like to taste a more crunchy dried apple. looking forward to drying some more of my home grown produce.

    Good model for home dehydrating

    published

    I have enjoyed trying different fruits and veggies but Would like more recipes that are specific to makes vegie chips and also some crackers including times. I would also like some guidelines on electricity use e.g. Use my solar during the day or lower rates at night. I am concerned about running costs.

    Arizona 6 Tray Dehydrator. Good Product

    published

    Happy with Dehydrator, Fan and heating element in the back, Even distribution of heat/ flowing air. I also use for making Yogurt, Cultured Vegetables, Raising Bread Dough etc. Motor needed replacement under the 2 year Warranty period, Might be rare. The temperature knob is not too accurate.Need to play with it a little.

    Not as good as i hoped. Use a older version at work and live it. Not enjoying this purchase.

    published

    Does not dehydrated evenly. Very hard to clean. Use a older version at work and love it. The 10 tray for 340 dollars is disappointing. Not happy with it at all. Dont know why the a newer product is inferior to oldet version. Was going to call this week to complain and ask for refund.

    dehydrator 8 shelves

    published

    never used one before liked the fact this one had metal shelves, even after having a faulty product, the service and shipment on a replacement one was great. little nervous incase it has the same issues. But I am loving the fact my family is enjoying the dried fruits and the jerky I am creating

    Froth and bits

    published

    We have been using it for few months now. Usually take 30 mins to make a 2L with cutting the veg and fruit to small pieces, so it doesn't clog up, and strain it twice. We got use to it I guess. Would be good to have one can produce juice without froth and bits though, is there?

    Love my dehydrator!

    published

    This dehydrator has become a staple appliance in our house hold. I make yummy raw food from muesli to fruit leathers to stock powder.
    It uses very little power and is not too big and bulky and as we have a small kitchen, I keep it on top of the fridge.
    would highly recommend this product.

    I have a 10 tray Biochef

    published

    I purchased a 10 tray which should have included 6 silicone mats. I phoned to ask there whereabouts and was told they would be in the next post. Two months later my wife phoned and was told they were still in production. We are still waiting and we're not very happy.

    Love it! And so does my dog, he howled for more after I made him liver treats.

    published

    Easy to use, doesn't use very much electricity (none because we have solar) and it's not too big. The only problem I had after a few goes the bottom of the door developed a little crack, it doesn't take away from how it dries food so it's not an issue.

    So far we have made coconut yogurt, activated almonds, kale chip, banana and apple chips. Love it. It's quiet, very easy to use and fun. Perfect size. Love it, this is exactly what we were looking for, moving toward a raw vegan diet is now so much easier. Very happy.

    Been awesome so far

    published

    Our first dehydrator but it certainly is living up to all the reviews and expectations. If you are dehydrating chilli it is worth doing it outside or in a garage, gets a bit spicy inside the house if you don't. Device is very easy to use, came with nice extra drying sheets from Vitality4Life

    what is better - arizona or arizona sol - and why?

    1 answer
    BioChef
    Vitality L.BioChef

    Hi Tim, the main difference of these 2 models is the drying time, the Arizona Sol has 19.5 420-500w (lower energy consumption) and removable door, and the Arizona 24hrs 800w. So I guess the Arizona Sol would be the way to go. :) Anymore questions please ask. Regards Bec V4L

    Hi we have an 8 tray biochef hydrator for a few years now.
    Often when first turned on it gives an E1 error code and stops after a few minutes. We have to turn it off and on again a few times until it keeps going. Cannot find in the manual or online what this means.

    Hi Peter, it may have something to do with the door magnet. Sometimes if it is off centre/loose it can read this error. You may have to send it in for a service. If you would like to please contact us at [email protected]
