    Overview

    Save money and storage space by preserving food with this Sunbeam food dehydrator. It will help your food stay fresher for longer without any added preservatives.

    Prepare dried fruits, muesli, and beef jerky for a wide range of occasions. Whether you’re packing a school lunch, filling a picnic basket, or preparing sustenance for a long hiking trip, this dehydrator will deliver the goods every time. An included fruit roll tray allows you to prepare tasty fruit roll-ups that are healthier than the store-bought variety. The five stackable drying racks give you the option of drying several foods at once without odours mingling, and the opaque racks mean the nutrients within your food won’t be compromised by light. With the choice of three temperatures, you can achieve the optimum heat for the type of food you’re drying. Thanks to a convection fan, air circulates around your trays for even drying from top to bottom. For added convenience, the unit’s filter can be removed for an easy clean.

    This food dehydrator is an excellent appliance for those who like leaving nothing to waste. It will get you experimenting with your own natural, healthy snacks.
    Five stackable drying racks

    The drying racks are intelligently constructed so you’re able to dry several different foods at once without odours mingling. The racks are opaque, so you don’t have to worry about light shining through to your food and spoiling its nutritional value.

    Three heat settings

    Dry food at 35°C, 55°C, or 75°C. Each temperature is tailored for specific uses. Use the 35°C setting for herbs and flowers. Choose 55°C for fruits, veggies, or muesli bars. Crank it up to 75°C to prepare delicious beef jerky.

    Convection fan

    The unit’s convection fan disperses hot, dry air evenly throughout the racks so you’re not left with any moisture spots.

    Fruit roll tray

    Fruit roll-ups are a lunchbox favourite, and now you can make your own at home without the addition of artificial colours or flavours. This is made possible with the included fruit roll tray.

    Don't bother
    Don't bother buying this model I'm on to my 3rd first one cord for extremely hot and had to get it replaced as I was still in the process of drying some meat, and again 2nd one hour in and the motor goes from speed 3 and dies so now I'm on my 3rd hope to get what I need done I did get offered a full refund but when you live in the country and it's the only store you have no choice to only get it replaced because I'm not going to bin meat

    SunbeamDT5600 Food Dehydrator
    The SunbeamDT5600 Food Dehydrator is a excellent product and does what it says it can do. However it is rather noisy, so my advice is to find a nice, safe place to set it up away from areas in your home that are used frequently. Also as usual Appliancesonline we’re fantastic, first product was faulty so they swapped it NOT a problem. Keep up the great work!

    Just not there
    We love our dehydrator despite it being a bit noisy. The best necessary improvement however, would be to add a timing device.
