Only used it to dehydrate bananas so far and it did a great job. Very easy to use and lots of room inside.The unit gets quite warm when at higher temperatures, and the mains wire touches against the back of the unit and gets warm so I pull the wire very slightly away from the back of the unit to stop it getting warm and that works well.Its not super quiet, if you are in the next room you can hear it and it sounds about as loud as an air purifier or a fan, certainly not loud or distracting.It is very easy and intuitive to use, and a good price, bananas took 12 hours, didn't turn them, just checked them now and then and they came out lovely and crisp.If you read the review on here where someone says it doesn't dehydrate bananas well, you'll notice they dehydrated the banana whole. You are supposed to slice up the food you dehydrate usually unless its small pieces, that review did put me off buying this dehydrator at first but it is a good dehydrator and well worth the money.
