Choosing an electric dryer - recommendations, what to look for when buying

Manna, what kind of dryer do you have? I am also more attracted by the transparent

I have some of the cheapest at that time, just grabbed out of necessity. I plan to buy another one, but I want one so that it would be convenient to dry the marshmallow.

And transparent too?

Admin, thanks for responding. They are all with bars. For example, two Veterka look alike, only one is transparent, the other is not. Which trays are more reliable? Or does it matter?

As for me, I like matte grilles more, it seems to me that they are stronger - or I am already used to them, after all, mine have served without problems since 1996

Admin, I'm to blame, I'm sorry! Will not happen again!
So I rush between two dryers ... Transparent seems to be prettier, but opaque seems to be more reliable ...

And what is there to look at the trays? When they stand alone, you still don’t understand anything, it’s ready or not ready, you still need to pick each one up and check, rearrange it in places, turn it around, and so on ...
It's better to think about the reliability of trays

And right now, where are they leading? Sorry

[Tanyush]

Now at the address
By the way, I really thought, maybe it really is worth looking in the direction of steel pallets Tanyush, what do you think?

[Manna]

Mannasomething I don't want metal
From juice and other influences, the metal can corrode, the varnish (paint) come off and as a result we get rust - it depends on the manufacturer and his conscientiousness, because the metal will weigh down and increase the cost of the dryer as a whole. And after all, wash the baking sheets with means, brushes, in the dishwasher ... e of alkalis and other things ... and the fruit juices themselves are also "alkali" and acid

As for me, this is a white, durable plastic, neutral to the effects of the external environment and fruit acids.

My izidri has pallets like "cucumbers", but the dryer is already an old woman

Tell me, please, any electric dryers make a lot of noise, that you can't sleep with a child in a room at night?)) And how do you put on the balcony? there is no electricity on the balcony, and by closing the door, the cord from the room will squeeze. And who counts the quietest dryer? I'm afraid to buy because everyone in the family loves silence. My husband forbids turning on the washing machine at night, and even the PMM, although I turn it on anyway. But you can roughly describe the noise of the dryer ... There is also HB, so her husband allows her to turn it on, she grunts a little there and then there is already silence. How is it here? uninterrupted noise? And at the expense of electricity bills, how much has increased approximately in rubles? Now I just live with my mother-in-law, and she has expensive electricity.
And I forgot to ask, is it possible to do this: I put the apples to dry, 2-3 hours have passed, I turned it off for a couple of hours and turned it on again to continue? that is, is it possible to interrupt the process and the total amount of drying will still be counted from the moment it is turned on again, or is it necessary to somehow regulate it, look at the pallets ...?

any electric dryers make a lot of noise that you can't sleep with a child in a room at night?

I can't talk about all the dryers, I know that Sedona has:
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=389459.0
there is a night mode, people write that it does not interfere with their sleep in the room. It’s standing in my kitchen, and I don’t turn on the night mode at all, on the day mode it dries all night. At night mode, Sedona makes a noise like a quiet fan that it has))) That is, it is audible, but does not interfere.
I think Isidri:
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=139314.0
also quiet, as far as I do not know and I can not compare them due to the absence of the second.

And I forgot to ask, is it possible to do this: I put the apples to dry, 2-3 hours have passed, I turned it off for a couple of hours and turned it on again to continue?

You can, many do it. Sometimes it is even useful for the product to be dried. I think in more detail Tatiana-Admin can tell how a Guru

[Mashulya1]

Mashulya1, I do this all the time, I dry it intermittently, especially in this heat, the main thing is to immediately dry the product well, which could sour!
And this is how I now dry my homemade pasta, and I store it in it until it is needed for drying. The main advantage of Sedona is that you can slide out the pallets without disassembling the dryer, change their places, sort out the product, stir up herbs, herbs and make ANY HEIGHT for drying whole fruits, tall noodle nests, put cans of yogurt. Plus there are two modes that follow one after the other automatically.
Now I listened, it makes less noise in the strongest mode than the air conditioner and is more muffled!

I dry on a loggia, for which an outlet is brought out there. And nevertheless, the dryer works with the kitchen door open, it does not make much noise and does not irritate me.

I use a temporary mode of switching off the dryer, but when the fruits are dry enough, the moisture is removed from them, they have withered enough and nothing threatens the quality, color of the fruit after drying.
If you turn off and constantly turn off the drying, fruits and vegetables will damp from the liquid remaining in them, because of this, change color? become ugly. And inside, the processes of decay, mold can begin.

Therefore, it is better to immediately choose a reliable dryer so that you can dry it quietly for a long time and not be afraid to leave it overnight or unattended.

As for me, I like matte grilles more, it seems to me that they are stronger.

I also trust matte more, in my Rotor SSh-002-06



I also like the large volume, the low price, and the grilles in * a hole * and not in * a strip * - no additional mesh inserts are needed, and nothing fails, and the power for such a volume is good

decided to buy an inexpensive one. March MT 1940

here the manufacturers got ahead of themselves - many began to produce dryers not expensive with trays under Izedri



, my dry windy M is identical = sluggish normally. Now there is such a choice of simple dryers - you can buy it for a test, so to speak - the drying process will go on, will this exciting activity be delayed, whether the products will be in demand - and only then, if you want and have the opportunity to purchase an expensive dryer, all the same, the age of electrical appliances is not so much a debt as we wanted ..

mine have served without problems since 1996

- hmm .. this is a completely different quality, mine has just been exchanged for the fifth year .. mmm

I loaded the first portion into the raisins yesterday, today we are already eating blueberry marshmallow.

But gooseberries, marshmallows, something does not want to dry out. Tired it already, I put it on before everyone else and still dry it.

By the way, what to do if you forgot to grease it with oil on the first sheet? She was so agitated that she immediately fell for him.

Another question. Where can I get beautiful candy wrappers? Very much it would be desirable now.
Yes, not necessarily beautiful - any!
But so that not aluminum foil and not just a film, but somehow it is not elegant.
Where do they get such shiny wrappers, all sorts of film?

Oh, I came up with it, I need to look at the florists, they should have a film ...

[the film should be]

Oh, I came up with it, I need to look at the florists, they have the film should be...

Do florists have cling film?

[Admin]

Admin, I have no idea, I will ask.
Maybe then you know who has it for food?

[Admin]

Admin, I have no idea, I will ask.
Maybe then you know who has it for food?

It is better to require a certificate of conformity for use - where, for what purposes, for what? This should be specifically stated on the certificate. And florists won't just say that, they may not know themselves.

Food film is bought in a store and it says "food, for packaging products" and so on ... you need to read the purpose of use on the packaging and links to the source of permission for use for food

I have never seen a beautiful cling film.

Girls help with the choice. I'm trying to choose between the breeze, selmer and Belomo. Belomo seems to be in the lead ... but there are questions. Who has such a dryer, help me - is it possible to dry in it for more than 8 hours without a break? Are the trays too low? Well, they are the same as in Isidra .... can you put a quarter of a tomato or not? and the holes in the pallets are very large? Now, if you dry the currants, will it probably fail? Well, don't small dried foods fail? ...

In order not to fall through, you can use additional nets, put directly on pallets-trays

Thank you all very much for your answers!) Regarding the shutdown, I meant, not that I am afraid to leave the devices unattended, but precisely because of the child, who needs to sleep 2 hours a day if I dry it during the day. And of course the main thing is that there are no decay processes, but at the expense of beauty, it does not matter to me, the main thing is that the product is useful and safe).

[Mashulya1]

Mashulya1, you don't need to dry it for two hours, nothing will happen. Well, then look at the car, test it in the store. Isidri does not make any noise at all, I go out of the kitchen and do not hear whether something is on there or not. Sometimes you have to go in to make sure. Despite the fact that the door to the kitchen is always open.

PS Tomato Quarter is such a vague concept ...

Hello girls!

Belomo seems to be in the lead

And in what plan does it lead? I've read it and it seemed to me that the breeze is better and almost already ordered it, but now I have doubts ... maybe it's better, really, white, eh?

I have a Breeze with 6 pallets. The trays are opaque, high enough. For a week now I have been drying apples with white filling. Previously, buckets were handed out and thrown away - there was nowhere to go. So we decided to buy email. dryer. And what they hadn't guessed before. I'm happy so far.

Hello girls! And in what plan is it in the lead? I've read it and it seemed to me that the breeze is better and I almost already ordered it, but now I have doubts ... maybe it's better, really, white, eh?

Belomo is in the lead in my ranking! But I already bought Belomo on the grounds that it is an analogue of the praised Isidri. They are absolutely similar, only the front control panel is different ... Isidri pallets fit Belomo .... Their principle of operation is the same.
I do not rearrange the pallets during drying (as in other dryers) - everything is dried like that. It is more compact than Veterok 2. Therefore, it did not take Veterok. On 4 pallets, I got 2 kg of chopped tomatoes.

Lena, show us in detail and a photo what Belomo can do - recipes in the studio!
And so, praising one behind the eyes and scolding the other is useless

Not so I don't scold ...... What makes you think that I scold Veterok2 ... I wanted to buy it from the very beginning ....... The dimensions did not fit me ...... that's all ... .... and the reviews about her are very good!
And I do not praise Isidri ....... these are the reviews of people in the internet ...

[Leshka1]

Leshka1, and how long and what have you already managed to dry? Have you measured the outlet air temperature? Let me explain the situation: I also bought a Belomo 8360. I put everything to dry - it was dried all evening and all night in medium mode (on a two), but even the greens did not dry out, the air came out cold. I set it to the maximum - that's when it started to dry more or less. I measured the temperature on the upper tray - 38 gr., Directly from the fan 55-60 gr.as stated by the manufacturer, but on the first tray (closest to the fan) - 42 gr. I suggest the owners of various models of dryers to measure the temperature at the outlet and report it in the forum. This will allow you to get an understanding of the most important, in my opinion, dryer parameter - drying temperature. Everything else - appearance and so on, is probably not so important. For example, I have no idea whether it will be possible for me to dry mushrooms and dry meat normally at a temperature of 38-42 degrees ... I suspect not. For a long time I rushed between Veterok-2 and Belomo, but leaned towards Belomo, now I think - I’ve made the right decision? Or is it better not to be stingy at all and to splurge on izidri? According to Izidri, it is stated that the temperature at the outlet of the dryer is 54g (+ - 14g). Isidri holders - is it so? Measure please.

And what to measure in isidri? Look at my recipes and you will see everything what and how it is dried and what quality is the result https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&board=174.0 from simple greens to dried zucchini and peaches, and meats.

You need to understand the principle of drying! First, the liquid from greens or vegetables should be evaporated and only then the process of drying the product begins. Why first set a high temperature and only then, after a few hours, the temperature decreases. And each product has its own drying "program" and drying time.

Well, you know, we can say - the child is sick (or healthy), but the picture will be clearer for us when we measure his temperature. For example, I want to understand at what maximum temperature it will evaporate in isidri and what I can count on in Belomo or Veterka ..

Hello, I'm a newbie on your forum, I also choose a dryer, read the entire forum, I realized that the best Isidri, but in Chelyabinsk it costs 8500 rubles, it is oh-oh-very expensive for me, and for what that kind of money ? After all, the principle of operation is the same for everyone, the difference in power, I want to buy Belomo, then I will share my impressions.

[Buy those dryers that suit you best and can afford]

Girls, so no one imposes on you IZIDRI, and even more so, does not force them to buy

Buy those dryers that suit you best and can afford... But, at the same time, pay attention to the requirements for dryers, which are described in this post. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=143202.0 , and then it will not be excruciatingly painful for the quality of the dryer and the money spent

Then master your dryers, learn to dry, watch the process - and share your drying recipes with us.

So I can afford it. But it doesn't hurt to overpay. If you really pay so you know for what, but when buying you need to look at the essence of things, and not at their presentation. According to the characteristics, both in Veterka, and in Belomo, and in a snack-maker - 500-600 W. The temperature, too, seems to be similar. But here I got the temperature on the trays in Belomo 38-42 degrees. I would like to know how in other models. I don’t buy everything in order to compare, so I turned to the forum where the owners of dryers communicate.

[dryer BELOMO]

Theme by dryer BELOMO opened here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=392590.0 discussion there

I measured the girls - my temperature on the upper tray was 45 degrees ... and I couldn't measure it anymore - the thermometer was up to 45 ...

Tatyana, thank you for opening a new topic on Belomo. However, in terms of temperature, I would like the question to concern not only Belomo, but others as well. Agree, this matters for the choice of a dryer, therefore it is fully consistent with the topic of discussion.

And what should I do?
Open a new topic on inlet and outlet dryer temperatures? Only I am not sure that the owners of all dryers will respond to my call and run to measure the temperature of their dryers. Including me - my dryer is packed until I got it this year. I will do drying, try to take measurements.
Please understand me correctly. Such information will be received, then I will open the topic.

I will do drying, try to take measurements.

I would be very grateful if you take measurements. Thank you.

Girls !! Here I am straight and amazed - why is the accuracy-precision with ordinary drying of ordinary vegetables and fruits? Some of them all became confusing, thorough .. You want a budget dryer and so that it functions as an extra class ... Just contact Olga Rada-dms, she has a super-duper dryer. Poor Tatyana Admin chewed everything so thoroughly about the drying principle, about the models, gave a bunch of recipes with beautiful photos, Rada-dms also reported so thoroughly on her dryer - why ask the same questions - read the topics carefully, draw your own conclusions, under herself, Tanya already wrote ... Yes, 5-7 years ago they did not hear about any electric dryers - they dried themselves, whoever wanted, on the veins and protrudes in the breeze or the sun, so what kind of weather is, and did not buzz, but now - give the exact parameters of everything! As if the apples will not dry out at 63 *, but at 65 * they will certainly be harvested We will not be slaves to electrical appliances = they are for us, and not we for them !!! The local craftswomen paint everything as they do themselves, what should be paid attention to - it is a sin not to read the topic from cover to cover, just not respect for the work and accumulated experience, which our hardworking and inquisitive girls share generously !! Straight through me = in the last few years, so many girls do not want to grasp the essence of their claims to the functions of the desired devices themselves, rely on recognized gurus = take it out and put it down - how it works there Do not judge strictly my emotional post again - but my opinion is this

They all became confusing, thorough ..

I support you completely !!! Well, our family really wanted Isidri, but too expensive. We bought the one that is cheaper a couple of times. We dry and rejoice, enjoy the result. And how many degrees she has there - we have no idea. I set as many degrees as the experienced ones recommend. If it's not dry, I add the drying time.

Good evening everyone. Honestly, I expected to see answers like: I have a dryer like this, the temperature on the last tray is like that. And I got something similar to when, to the question "what time is it," they answer "I have a good watch" ... If you stirred up a wave of indignation in someone, then forgive me. My motive was simple - I do not have numerous girlfriends, in principle, and even with dryers and absolutely ... And here people communicate who have these devices. So I decided to ask those who are not difficult and technically possible - just measure the temperature and write. Perhaps this will help someone make a choice. As for the study of the topic from cover to cover - I read this topic three times, if not more, and when choosing a dryer I tried to take into account just all the points about which were written at the beginning of the topic. But still this did not allow me to make the right choice (as I think). Therefore, I am trying to discuss another side of choosing a dryer. As for the drying accuracy: I don't see a fundamental difference between 63 and 65 degrees, but between 55 and 42 it is quite significant. This is just from the topic when quantity turns into quality: up to 42 grams. enzymes are not destroyed, after that some of the beneficial properties are already lost, but you can dry meat or dry mushrooms.

[Tanysik]

Tanysik, so what happens if you put meat kusman in boiling water? The water stops boiling, dies down until the meat warms up inside, the temperature of the meat becomes equal to the temperature of the water, and the water starts boiling again with the meat, and then we begin to turn down the heat to reduce the boil.

It's the same in the dryer!
When we put vegetables on pallets, the more floors - the dryer needs time to reach the set temperature of 55-60 * C, which you set for drying. Vegetables on all floors must warm up to a given temperature, and for this it is necessary for the vegetables to leave their own liquid-juice-moisture, they begin to wither, dry out. It takes many hours, depends on the moisture content of the products, their quantity on the trays, the thickness of the slices, and so on ........
And only after that, when the hand feels a hot stream of air at the top of the dryer - it happened! The temperatures are almost equal! Now, in fact, the process of drying vegetables has begun, they began to actively release moisture and dry out. Now, at a certain stage, you can swap the pallets, reduce the temperature and perform other manipulations.
Until this "temperature comparison" point, the dryer will never have the same inlet and outlet temperature! You can check my theory in practice

And this process takes place in absolutely any dryer !!! The temperature in the dryer will never be equal to the set 55-60 * С from the very start of the dryer!

Watch the process, evaluate, remember - and you will be happy in the dryer!

Today I began to write a new topic based on recommendations, then I realized that this has already been described a hundred times in our works, recommendations, recipes, commented and explained so many times ... the girls are right, we need to analyze our work and recipes with paper and pencil in hand and choose from them "incomprehensible" places and memorize them, then put them into practice.

Good luck to all!

Tatiana, thank you, I got your idea. However, my business is probably not about loading: an hour ago I measured the temperature on the upper tray in an almost empty dryer at the maximum, I got only 43 ... I will adapt myself. And thank you for the recipes, I have already tried something.

Raise the passport and check the temperature suggested by the manufacturer according to the passport, and after what time it should show it, how long it takes to warm up to the maximum.
If there is 55 or 60 * C in the passport and after 30-40 minutes of operation of the dryer (for example, I am writing), and your heating does not rise to 43 * C or higher, then go to the service!

And check the operation of the dryer in an empty, unloaded state !!!! Control measurement of indicators !!!!

Good afternoon.
I re-read all the topics, but I have not decided on any specific model.

Requests - capacity of about 500, uniform high-quality drying, marshmallow tray. Isidri is suitable, but a little expensive.
Maybe someone will offer an analogue to just order and that's it. I'm tired of suffering with the choice.

Maybe someone will offer an analogue to just order and that's it.
