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

[Catherine!]

I didn't find any reviews on it at all, but the manufacturer is more likely to be scolded

Catherine!And it was not on the market before. Perhaps this is the same Travolka, but under a different name, since Ozone defined this name only for himself, and to the Chinese the more sales (under any name) the better. So they renamed the same dryer, giving it a different name. But these are just my thoughts, as in reality I do not know. Well, who is the manufacturer? All the same China, which does not bother either buying or selling patents, brands and other attributes.

[Lyi]

Lyi, Ah, got it. Logical thoughts. But, by the way, strangely, the 6-tray travola gradually disappeared somehow, but this one appeared ...
But somehow Travola is more trustworthy)) due to the fact that there are a lot of reviews, I read the topic about her here
I will wait for the travola when they bring it

I will wait for the travola when they bring it

So I also stopped at Travolka. I bought it with 9 pallets and I'm happy.

I hope and I will be happy
They brought it quickly, straight with lightning speed))) Cute, but huge, of course))) although I was afraid that it would be bigger and harder
Warm up, wash
She spreads warmth around herself not weakly. I wanted to push her to the window, but now I thought - the window is plastic ... probably a bad idea ...

the window is plastic ... probably a bad idea ...

And what is connected with the plastic window?
I have a dryer on the loggia working all summer, next to a plastic window, and wow it works like that

[Admin]

Admin, close, 10-15 cm, maybe from a plastic frame. practically on the windowsill. plastic will not float there? or is 70 degrees the wrong temperature?

or is 70 degrees the wrong temperature?

so it is t inside the dryer, not outside, and since it is plastic, it does not heat up, ... sky, will not melt your window and jump out of it

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777, hehe)))
Well, the priest's iron heats up decently)
by the way, I checked the temperature inside it on the trays, well, just in case)) 70 degrees - 70 degrees exactly

Well, the priest's iron heats up decently)

And mine are heating up .. But how can they not heat up? It is supposed to heat up ..

plastic will not float there? or is 70 degrees the wrong temperature?

Try to heat the dryer to 70 * and touch it. Here, here - you can safely take it in your hands and move it to another place What kind of "windows will float" here

A fan blows hot air inside the dryer, while the outside can be slightly warm.

[gawala]

gawala, Admin, yes, it does not burn)
I put apples at 50 degrees to dry, for warm-up))) By the way, I already understood the depth of the advice that the dryer should not be very small. On 9 trays in total, it included either 10 or 12 apples in slices of 3-5 mm. probably cut a little

Thank you very much, enormous to everyone, everyone for the advice and help !!! love the dryer !!!

[dGs]

put apples at 50 degrees to dry, for warm-up)))

dGs, Catherine, it's only the beginning . And as soon as you make meat, you will immediately understand that you have made the right choice. And sun-dried tomatoes are something ...

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, I'm already in anticipation))
just for the sake of meat and tomato, and I wanted to buy meat tomorrow and marina and I will dry it

Connoisseurs, help, pzh-the one who figured out: does the max power matter for the speed of the process? Will 1100 watts speed up the result compared to 700 watts?
I choose between Dream pro-10 (1100 W and iron box - larger) and Dream vitamin -10 (700 W and smaller plastic box). It's good if anyone has seen both of them. Or heard and saw them + and - in practice. Help, because that time is already coming, and I will not choose everything. Thank you

(1100 W - (700 W

The more powerful the better.

Will 1100 watts speed up the result compared to 700 watts?

Yes.

The power depends on how much pallet you put into the dryer in one go.
The higher the power, the greater the load by the number of pallets

[Admin]

Admin, Tatyana and gawala, Galina, thanks a lot for the explanations. I wanted to take 1100 W - Dream pro - 10. But I do not like the iron walls, the price and size are still at least a little bit, but more than Dream vitamin -10 Here is a puzzle - what to choose: beauty or practicality ?. I’ll think a little. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I will listen with pleasure. Thank you

[Alyon @ Ka]

Dream vitamin -10

Alyon @ Ka, Elena, so this is one to one Travola! And the price ... Now Travola for 9 pallets is expensive, but even so it is still 2 times cheaper!

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, Thank you. I was watching. Travola has plastic pallets, while Dream has iron pallets, although here I did not choose - which is better. And as far as I understand, Travola has no protection against overheating (I'm afraid of that) and you can't make marshmallows (I don't understand - are there no special pallets?) Or something else? Do you remember Travola? (or I'm confusing) What about overheating and pallets for marshmallows really? Cheaper is better! Thank you.

[Alyon @ Ka]

Do you remember Travola? (or I'm confusing)

Alyon @ Ka, Elena, to me without any problems on "you". Yes, I have Travola. I don't remember what it says about overheating, but I'm sure that in modern gadgets, fuses are now installed in everyone. And what kind of overheating by 75 degrees ... I do not leave any device turned on at night, and I do not leave the house when something is working.
And about the pallets for marshmallows, everything is very simple - baking paper will help us! She bent the corners, it turned out to be a box, so the tray for the marshmallow is ready, dried it and threw the paper away. I myself did not make marshmallows, the main thing for me is to understand how this is theoretically possible.

you can't make marshmallow (I didn't understand - are there no special pallets?)

Well, at first I didn't say anything ... now I'll put in my 5 kopecks. ... I personally made various pastilles, including Belevskaya, the flight is normal. I used coated baking paper and it is enough for the whole season (it turns out reusable, without coating it is worse, it is disposable. If the pastille is thin, then the corners are not needed, for Belevskaya there, yes, you need layers up to 2 cm ... but make everything is not a problem.There is one sheet tray for marshmallow, but personally I don't like it at all. (I think that for marshmallow it goes 1 for everyone, the rest is bought in addition)
The pallets are plastic, but they are in almost all dryers.

I do not leave any device on at night, and I do not leave the house when something is working.

, and I turn it on at night, if it's so convenient for me, and I can leave the house

How is it overheating

I can't say about overheating, swing it worked for me the whole cycle and another 3 hours extra, everything is fine.
In general, the longer you choose, the more requirements of some kind arise for the device and more doubts arise about the correctness of the choice.
The travola is spacious (I have both, although there is a new one for 9 pallets, while there was enough for 6), easy to carry (I have both on the balcony, I bring it in if necessary) not too noisy to work.

Travola has plastic pallets, Dream has iron pallets,

I looked at these dehydrators, in the 10th there are different trays (on one site they are one to one like Travola.
Plastic ones can be stuffed into the PM if necessary, but I would not risk metal ones. Further, but these are my personal assumptions, it will stick to the metal more because it heats up, it can, of course, dry out, it will dry faster ... I don’t know here.
But in any case, they are very similar in appearance, (made in the same country ...the only add. + Travola, if you take on Ozone, then the TTT problems that have arisen ... are easily solved

from the last forumchanka bought a dough mixer First, we had a cheaper one in Meleon, and she was on Ozone, she stopped working, Ozone returned the money in full for the return, and she took a different color from them. Not all stores work like that, usually through service, etc. and there is still the whistle ... this is not a warranty repair or something else.

... Dream pro-10 is not a cheap dehydrator, so if you fork out for it, then take it in a store that can easily solve the problems that have arisen

When I was choosing a wardrobe, I was considering different options, but after she saw that the girl bought some kind of cool dehydrator wardrobe for almost 40 thousand, and after a few dryers he ordered to live a long time and was refused repairs ... my doubts about Travola vanished like smoke. .. expensive is not always good and of high quality ... more than one argument from my experience of buying unreasonably expensive and "famous" brands could have cited on this topic, but this is a different technique, I still have a residue, loss of money and hatred of the brand

No, I do not in any way advocate to buy Travola, (especially since there is no action for it now, although they very often hold) if funds allow and there is no doubt, take Dream pro-10, but with more power

[Alyon @ Ka]

And as far as I understand, Travola's ... you can't make marshmallow

Alyon @ Ka, Elena, you have not read the topic about Travola. There are so many examples about all sorts of marshmallows.
Pastila can be made in any device where there is heating, previously it was dried in ovens.

[Irina]

Irina, yes, I did not look into the topic. I think to leave working for the night. And there with overheating - it is not specified what ... I have travola for pies. It works, but it's kind of flimsy. So I decided to look at something else .. Thank you. I'll look at the topic. Maybe I'll change my mind. And that "this other" is a little expensive, of course.



Ilmirushka, Thank you. I read the topic about travola. Maybe I'll choose this one too

Used coated baking paper

did not pay attention to something - is it called "coated"?

In general, the longer you choose

exactly - 100%. how will I start to choose - I will break everyone's heads

take in a store that can easily solve the problems that have arisen

Yes thank you. And then this moment somehow dropped out of me now. An important point. And Ozone is great. I didn’t return anything, but everything is clear and organized.
Thanks everyone. I'll go to the Travolkina Temko

"coated"?

or siliconized baking paper or Teflon mat. And again - read drying topics - EVERYTHING is there.

I think to leave working for the night.

works fine, although I also rarely leave electrical appliances without my presence at home.

[Alyon @ Ka]

Alyon @ Ka, Elena,

is it called "coated"?

Irina has already answered this question, yes (I went and read it, it is written with a silicone coating, it looks like an ordinary one, only as if smoother, I have Master Fresh brands, in a triangular package, I didn’t even pay attention to what was written on it. -for the width (in the village for marshmallow in a round dryer, cut the very thing out of it,

Hello! Please tell me, what are the advantages of an electric dryer in comparison with an electric oven with the appropriate function and temperature control?

The oven bakes and drying dries. The temperature in the dryer is not higher than 70 degrees. In email ovens probably all the same above 70 degrees.

No, from 50 oven

No, from 50 oven

Naturally, from 50 degrees and above. What is the maximum temperature in it? But you bake pies in it, and dry apples in a dryer. Dryer from 35 to 70 hail.
You can use your stove as a dryer, set the desired temperature and dry, heating elements and a fan, if any, work in the oven. There is only a fan in the dryer, there are no heating elements.

[gawala]

There is only a fan in the dryer, there are no heating elements.

gawala, Gal, probably some small one should still be, because something heats up there as much as 70 degrees

probably some small one should still be

There is a fan - if the oven has a special program "convection mode with blowing" And then, with such a program, I dry tomatoes and peppers with the door ajar near the oven, about 10 cm. I open it slightly. Otherwise, there is a strong heat, and vegetables are stewed more than they dry out, there is a lot of moisture in them

[Admin]

Admin, Tatyana, everything is clear with the oven, I'm talking about the dryer ... because something heats it up to 70 degrees.

because something heats it up to 70 degrees.

Fan and heats up. There are no tens in mine.

Girls, hello. I have the most ordinary "Summer resident", quite happy. No fanaticism, temperature control, high pallets. I dried fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, green tea, and made marshmallows. Doesn't make a lot of noise. I put bainki for the night.

Please tell me, what are the advantages of an electric dryer in comparison with an electric oven with the appropriate function and temperature control?

if your electric oven is with convection and you can put t at least 80 * = then a chic tunnel-type dryer - horizontal airflow, slightly open the door, and that's it - the electric dryer in action. And you can put more than one counterpart.

Advantages of an electric dryer - it is autonomous, more compact than an oven, has little power, it can be put in any convenient place. even on a balcony or terrace.

If you constantly dry something, then the oven will be busy.

And then, drive this giant oven with a capacity of 3600-5000 watts. just because of the baking sheet ... it will be expensive, sorry for the oven.
Yes, the temperature is low when drying, but .... I, for example, will be sorry.

A mobile dryer will be more practical.

That is, it turns out that even at low temperatures the electricity consumption will be much higher than the oven than the dryer?

It is simple to check: note the flow readings on the meter during this time, and it will be clear

A simple dryer costs much less, starting from 3-4 thousand rubles. You can't buy an oven for such a price, especially with convection, and I'm frankly sorry to waste the oven, it's easier to have a dryer.
The dryer can be placed on the balcony during the harvesting season, and there will be ventilation, no odors, and excessive heat, humidity - what accompanies the drying of fruits and vegetables.

For information: from a kilogram of, for example, tomatoes, zucchini or berries, about 100 grams of finished drying is obtained - this is very little !!!
It turns out that with 2-3 trays in the oven, you can get about 200-300 grams of drying

I do not have anything yet, I can not detect and see)
I just had an idea about a stove in order to save space and money.

Fan and heats up. There are no tens in mine.

Any dryer has a heating element. It may look different, but it is there. The fan heats up nothing by itself. His task is different - to distribute air. And the other part of the dryer heats. If you take it apart, you will definitely find it.

On the question - if you dry 2 kilograms a year, the oven will be enough. The savings on electricity for small volumes will not be big. At low temperatures, the oven does not consume much energy. Especially the new ones, all of themselves economical.

The issue is volume and convenience. Dry conveniently on mesh trays. If there are no such in the oven, you will have to come up with some kind of nets, etc. The oven has a more powerful fan. Trite, dill can fly in different directions when it dries. Poor ventilation in the oven. Tatyana has already written that it is damp there, you will have to open the door. In hot weather, it just adds warmth and humidity to your kitchen. Air exchange is much better in the dryer. Due to this, drying is faster, the result is better.

To test, you need to dry something in the oven. And understand whether you need it at home or not?

I do not have anything yet, I can not detect and see)
I just thought about a stove in order to save space.

Then the right decision would be, to begin with, to decide what you just intend to cook in the oven, how often to use it, why do you just need it.
And what are you going to dry in the dryer, how much it will be in demand.

And draw conclusions

The dryer is small in size, you can find a place for it, to the extent that it can be stored on a closed balcony in winter (depending on the region and cold winter).
But, this is a more practical solution. I already wrote about combining.

there is a heating element

it is clear that there is ...

Thanks for answers! Perhaps with the oven it will not work according to the principle of a multicooker - turned it on and forgotten) this is a significant factor

turned on and forgot

... with a dryer, this will not work either, you also need control over the state of vegetables

... with a dryer, this will not work either, you also need control over the state of vegetables

They write that with izidri it is easier to translate this fantasy into reality)

[Sonya]

Sonya, do not suffer. When you decide that "I need it"?, Then there will be a desire to dry, and buy the one that you like and need
Any device, including a dryer, including Isidri, requires attention and control. You cannot put vegetables and fruits and leave for a week, leave them uncontrolled, in order to end up with a byaka and a broken appliance

Everything that I have prepared here Electric Dryer Recipes, made in Isidri, but under my control

Any device, including a dryer, including Isidri, requires attention and control. You cannot put vegetables and fruits and leave for a week, leave them uncontrolled, in order to end up with a byaka and a broken appliance

I understand that the degree of control in the case of the stove is higher. Baking trays, volume, humidity, all this is more complicated than if with a dryer.
Thanks for the link to the recipes!

Girls, whoa and I are thinking about an electric dryer
Is there any model that has earned a good reputation and folds up compactly for storage? And then there is almost no place left.
I suppose to use it infrequently, more from the category "so it was", but just to buy something not hotzza: what if I get a taste

[MYSTERY MDH 321]

and folds up compactly for storage?

MYSTERY MDH 321

extremely compact folds, the distance between trays can be increased dries, like all other dryers = good.

As for me, you need a dryer! !! We used to swim a lot during the season, then only for meat and sometimes squid. I took a luxury diva n 5 trays for testing - (not enough, but you can buy a couple, it won't pull anymore) it is convenient that a square one with a circle seems to take up a lot of space. .. trays made of good non-fragile plastic - one, high sides - two. Quiet - you can sleep almost nearby. Keeps the temperature. Dried - dried strawberries, cherries, tomatoes, meat and so on. Like. But .... there are no trays for marshmallows - you have to get rid of it. Soooo tired. .. my daughter now wants sushioku too - on Tuesday let's go look at the store - must bring 500W to White and 1000W to Volter. Here I got into the topic - probably there are pastille trays for both of them. Let's go and watch it live, but I'm still leaning towards Belome -on and cheaper, although it looks like it was ripped off from the izidri, apparently.



Now I'm drying teas - it is doing well with its 500 watts, maximum an hour and a half.
