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

Kelli Kl-5085

🔗
why do you need reviews. if it is a complete analogue Electric dryer cabinet Travola KYS-333B and it was already

I would also advise you to pay attention to the Kelli KL-5085 dryer, here it is offered for 3655 rubles, however, I do not know what kind of store it is. But you can see it yourself in Moscow visually.

so that

why do you need reviews

I thought maybe we have the owners of this particular dryer.

[Elena Bo]

Elena Bo, and last year some already wanted a 9-tray travolka, others bought a 6-tray trail earlier, so this Kelli (Austrian brand) is not so hot as anyone is interested. At least, I don't remember writing about her purchase.
And now there are no trays, and if there are any others - for OZONE, for example - it is so expensive, yes - and this Kelli, that blonde, that brunette, is not 9-10 trays, but not 14-18,000 rubles.

this Kelli (Austrian brand)

Come on..

this Kelli (Austrian brand)
Come on..

The KELLI trademark belongs to an Austrian company that manufactures and sells its own household appliances and utensils for the home and kitchen on the international market. The KELLI trademark, like the company itself, appeared relatively recently on the Russian market, therefore it is still little known to the general public. However, it has already won recognition among its partners and clients even in such a short time.

KELLI is a Russian brand of small household appliances and tableware.

Among the brand's products, you can find a variety of models samovars,

Irina, this is the same as Vitek. An Austrian company, which is not a dream in Austria. My husband, when he found out about this company, rummaged through everything he could, did not find it. Under this name, I found something medical and has no relation to the kitchen. It was clear that he was looking for the Austrian resources.
I was especially pleased with the samovars. Yeah, the Austrians produce samovars. They don't even know what it is.

A company called Kelly was founded over a century ago, in 1894. Kelly is one of the oldest manufacturers in the American market.

and America is where then? * I understand that the last letters are different. But they sound the same.
In general, some kind of Chinese nonsense that's all. And yes, the founder can be any Austrian citizen. 20 minutes and the company is open.

[y]

Kelly Is one of the oldest manufacturers in the American market.

KELLI

not a big difference in spelling in the title - I think these are different words, although they sound the same.
It makes no difference to me whose firm it is))) what gave me our Internet, then I can tell.

In general, some kind of Chinese nonsense that's all.

whoever the brand is, the Chinese Almost all will gladly produce.

And returning to the electric dryer

Kelli Kl-5085

, it is quite worthy in appearance and in characteristics, the main thing is that it should blow and warm.
The dryer looks exactly like TRAVOLA - there are different names.

[Elena Bo]

Interested in Kelli Kl-5085. Does anyone have it? I would like reviews, the price for it is very attractive.

Elena Bo, I have a Kelli KL-5085 from last week. took for 2160 rubles in prices. not.The control is electromechanical, there is a switch - a red button, t 35-70 degrees, the adjustment is smooth, there is no timer, pallets made of transparent plastic 6 pcs, a pallet that can be used for marshmallow 1 pc, dimensions like a travola. The body is one-on-one in appearance - a clone of a grass. Only the location of the control is different. I can't give much feedback, I used it a little. I dried the cream of tomatoes, made 3 pallets of marshmallow from plums, laid Teflon rugs on 2 pallets, and easily removed the marshmallow from the pallet for marshmallows and rugs. It turned out fine. I wanted to dry the apples. but other matters shook.

can anyone have such a Kitfort KT-1908 share your impressions.

Why is a rectangular dryer better than a round one? Or vice versa?

Why is a rectangular dryer better than a round one?

I don't see the difference. I chose the size of the pallets + the ability to buy pallets. As a result, I bought Isidri 500 (diameter of trays 34 cm). Basic kit (5 trays) first. Then I bought 5 more pallets with nets. I am very satisfied. It dries perfectly, no need to rearrange the pallets. It works during the season for days. Three temperature conditions, practically no noise. The quality of the plastic is excellent.
Apples are drying now all the time, tomatoes. And I found that 10 trays dry as much in time as 5 trays. So now I save both time and electricity.

[Gladis]

Gladis, Galina, interested in the quality of the dryer - the plastic itself and the quality of the pallets. Not fragile, will not lead to temperature? How does it look visually, not very cumbersome?

interested in the quality of the dryer - the plastic itself and the quality of the pallets. Not fragile, will not lead to temperature?

most likely, the same as that of Travola and its analogues, because usually, all this is riveted at the same Chinese plant, from the same raw materials. It differs only in the nameplate, sometimes in the set of some functional details, in the system for accepting products by the customer. In this case, the customer decided to reduce the price due to the built-in timer and mechanical control. Which, in principle, is justified. A mechanical socket timer is inexpensive and effective.

I don't see the difference

Elena BoThe dryer is solid, the quality of the plastic of the dryer is normal, not smelly, not thin, looks good. As for the quality of pallets, here it is more likely that users of the Travola KYS-333B electric dryer cabinet will be able to answer. Those who have operated this dryer for a long time. I liked the pallets, but I don't know how they will behave in the future. But in general, see the photo from the Travola KYS-333B Electric Cabinet Dryer and you will see Kelly KL-5085, the dimensions, appearance and quality of plastic are the same, except for the differences in control that I wrote about. It is small, but round can be disassembled into segments and put into a sofa, for example, and for this you have to look for a storage space. I do not regret buying, the other day I dried chicken breast fillets for 7 hours. according to Elena Tim's recipe, it turned out great.

this is why, the internet was not banned ((
The question was for users, as I understand you are not like that

[Galina]

Galina, thanks for the answer. I have not seen Travola live, so your feedback is very important to me.

[Raduga0808]

Raduga0808, I have Travola and Isidri.

then why, the internet was not banned ((

you know better

The question was for users

there, including real users, not only wrote, but also showed photos of their dryers.

In any case, the decision is only for you to make. Nobody will do it for you.

one.The base of the electric dryer is ABS plastic. The bottom of the dryer must be covered with a continuous rimmed tray. This is done so that no liquid could get into the electronics compartment from the pallets of the electric dryer, from dripping fruits during drying, which is inevitable. In case of particularly juicy fruits, you can also put a tray for marshmallows on the bottom of the bottom.

Tell me, can such a bottom be considered reliable? already ordered, but still I continue to doubt ... I'm going to dry poultry, fish, tomatoes and apples. there is no tray for marshmallow in the kit, and I do not plan to cook marshmallow

Can such a bottom be considered reliable?

Not. In my opinion, this is one of the most unsuccessful design options for dryers.
from the instructions to it

‣ The ingress of moisture into the openings of the ventilation chamber is unacceptable
‣ Install and store the dryer and its parts away from heat sources (e.g. stove). Do not expose the dryer or its parts to temperatures exceeding 90 ° C.
‣ Do not touch hot surfaces of the device to avoid burns, and also make sure that the operating device does not come into contact with flammable materials.
‣ When the dryer is operating at a temperature of 35-45 ° C, continuous use of the dryer should not exceed 72 hours. Allow the appliance to cool down for at least 2 hours before using it again.
‣ When the dryer is operating at a temperature of 45-55 ° C, continuous use of the dryer should not exceed 48 hours. Allow the appliance to cool down for at least 2 hours before using it again.
‣ When the dryer is operating at a temperature of 55-70 ° C, continuous use of the dryer should not exceed 24 hours. Allow the appliance to cool down for at least 2 hours before using it again.
‣ The dryer and its parts are not dishwasher safe.
WARNING: Do not place the dryer on flammable surfaces (such as a wooden table or tablecloth). Do not use the dryer on glass
tables or other glass furniture. The dryer should only be used on heat-resistant surfaces, the size of the surface should be at least the area of ​​the dryer base.
Failure to observe these safety precautions may result in damage to the device, electric shock and / or fire.

[Gladis]

GladisHow strong is the plastic of Kelli KL-5085? Is there a smell? Is she noisy?
We have written that this is China. Quite possible. Now everything is China.
The price is very confusing, about 2500 rubles.

[OgneLo]

OgneLo, thanks for the quote from the instructions. often have to dry something longer than the time specified in the text? I looked, like meat and fish at high temperatures are dried for 6-10 hours, and here already 24 are allowed.
about the bottom, apparently not in vain I had doubts. but won over the fact that she was a locker, like a travola. I am very much repelled by the pallets being placed on top of each other. maybe there are still inexpensive options for lockers with retractable trays and a more reliable bottom? budget 3-4 thousand

[Elina]

Gladis, how strong is Kelli KL-5085's plastic? Is there a smell? Is she noisy?
We have written that this is China. Quite possible. Now everything is China.
The price is very confusing, about 2500 rubles.

Elina, Yes China. The plastic is durable, there is no smell, the quality is no different from non-budget models.
As for the noise, I personally don't put it on at night, I don't have a door in the kitchen. It doesn’t make a lot of noise, the Breeze was a little stronger.
Doesn't bother during the day. And if you put it in the loggia, then you can't hear it at all, but now it's impossible - it's cold. This summer is like that. For a large scale, for whom a garden-vegetable garden is not suitable. All the same, the roominess is not great. Drain tomatoes - 3 kg, dry apples, pears - 4 kg. Dries evenly on all pallets, 35-70 gr.

but it was won over by the fact that she was a locker, like a travola

Wrong! Travola has a fan on the back wall, and the back wall itself is made of metal. If you want "like Travola", then take any of the analogs, or guard in Ozone Travola.
For example, now, Kitfort KT-1909. Dryer with nine pallets, from 9000 rubles

🔗

Kitfort KT-1909, photo by Natalia Maximova, May 21, 2019


More, the design of the sidewalls, for dehydrators-clones Rawmid Dream Vitamin Dehydrator (with 7 or 10 plastic trays), Travol, Kitfortov (6 or 9 plastic trays are supplied with them, respectively), allows you to install additional trays between the standard ones (this is reported in original dehydrator instructions) for drying thin slices. All pallets, trays and nets, from the original and clones, are the same and interchangeable.

from 9000 rubles

very expensive. that's why I coveted the model for 3.5

[Gladis]

Gladiswhat color did you buy? Perhaps I will order.
OgneLo, do you really think that someone does not understand that the price difference is not accidental? Everyone has their own goals and their own budget when buying.

I just want to say: teach better than your spiders!

very expensive

then, guard Travola. Or, buy any domestic one for which additional pallets are on sale. The same, Dry wind, for example.

very expensive

bottom or top blower dryers - vertical dryers are round, not these "similar" tunnel dryers - there are many other brands, and they are more volume at the same price.

Cm. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ption=com_smf&board=164.0

🔗 great choice for the price

allows you to install additional pallets between standard ones

it is possible that in dryers with thin metal trays without bulging at the edges and you can insert trays so often, but it is in the travola that this trick will not work = the "sides" are closed, there will be no air movement.

additional pallets. The same, Dry wind,

in the dry wind M8, for example, from the edgy trays, if you put more of these 8 trays, it dries longer.
I have two Dry Hoves M - for 5 and 8 trays, I tried to increase it to 10 - no, no need. I dry on two, if, then put on 6 and 7 trays.
And in Sukhovoe MP for 8 trays, which is also not worth putting more trays. Moreover, these are simple trays, they do not dry over the entire volume at the same time, but first the lower tray.

[Irsha]

Irsha, and if you take round ones with pallets one on top of the other, will the whole chicken breast fit there? from this point of view, square cabinets seemed more practical to me - if something is big, just put fewer trays so that they fit in height

round with pallets one on top of the other, will the whole chicken breast fit there?

dryers with deep pallets - these are Sukhovey MP, Veterok, Rotor - they include a lot of things.
Cabinets are, of course, convenient in this respect.

So take the very inexpensive KELLI, recently discussed.

only there is no timer, and it's not so hot as it is needed

And if you take round ones with pallets one on top of the other, will the whole chicken breast fit there?

In Isidri, you can buy hollow rings (like a pallet without a bottom) - any quantity. And accordingly, the height of the pallet can be increased as much as necessary. The breast will also fit

In Isidri, you can buy hollow rings (like a pallet without a bottom) - any quantity.

well, like anyone.
Any electric dryer has its potential.
Izedri differs from others only in the shape of the trays. The power, temperature and size of the trays are no more than those of others.

A more powerful Izedri1000 will pull and more, by the way, there are expansion rings only for it.

Well, meat and other juicy products will not dry quickly on 15-20 trays.

Look on the channel because everything dries very quickly. As with other dryers.

By time - depending on what to dry ...
Apples naturally dry faster than tomatoes. Watermelon and melon are also longer. Everything depends on the moisture content of the original product.
I didn't notice the difference in time. Dried on 5 pallets and 10 pallets - the drying time is the same (tested on apples, pears, tomatoes).

There are expansion rings for the 500 model too.

Quantity - yes, it depends on the model. I am drying on my 500 model on 10 pallets now. I will not buy more.

And on the 1000th ultra, up to 24 pallets are possible.

A more powerful Izedri1000 will pull and more, by the way, there are expansion rings only for it.

And for Isidri 500 there are expansion rings.

[Irsha]

Irsha, I looked at KELLI and thought for a long time, the dryer looks much more interesting than March, but for some reason almost no one sells it from large online stores. I don't even hope for retail in our wilderness. in any case, it is worth thinking more.
girls, does a lot of liquid drip during drying? with the same sun-dried tomatoes, for example. or mackerel

[arilla]

arilla,

KELLI

Well, buy a kitfort with ozone for 6 trays - as they said, KELLI delivery is quite expensive to remote places. And with OZONE for free, the dryer is more expensive than 3500 rubles.

does a lot of liquid drip during drying?

"squeeze" tomatoes from excess liquid by cutting off the stalk, this juice is not for throwing away, of course, it is edible))

Do not put the fish straight out of the brine, let it flow a little.

Why make the dryer run longer by drying out excess liquid?

Put everything that you can on the skin, "on the back", then the juice will not flow.

However any the dryer has a drip protection for the heating element. Who will put a clearly current product in the dryer))

[Elina]

Gladis, what color did you buy? Perhaps I will order

Elina, The color is light gray, see the photo above from "Reply # 974", the body, color, appearance, plastic, pallets (only I have 6), the back panel, the fan, the grille are exactly the same. The difference is in the control unit, everything.

There are expansion rings for the 500 model too.

ABOUT! I have to tell my friend 🔗 3 years ago we didn’t see it, or there weren’t them yet for 500.

The expansion / hollow ring can be made by yourself, for those dryers / dehydrators for which additional pallets are sold. To do this, you need to remove almost the entire bottom, leaving only the sidewall and a small part (approx. 0.5―1.0 cm) of the bottom adjacent to the sidewall

Previously, these rings were not transported, and the sellers of Isidri dehydrators recommended cutting them out of pallets themselves, since the price is comparable, and the demand for rings is relatively small compared to the demand for pallets.

but this trick will not work in grass

this "trick" will take place for thin slicing, the height of which does not exceed the height of the side of the plastic pallet. Dream Vitamin is just completed with one additional tray, c. including the version with plastic pallets.

tried to increase to 10 - no, no need

The availability of additional pallets on sale makes it easy to replace a pallet that has failed for some reason, or to make an expansion / hollow ring from an additional pallet purchased. There is no sense in loading the dryer with extra pallets.

[Marina ま り な]

this "trick" will pass for thin slicing

Marina ま り な, but in Travola the trays are closed, there is no gap between them if you insert additional trays.
This can be checked by every travola owner.

I have already gone through the "compaction" of the travolka, and I realized that compaction = no need, the load on the dryer increases, the air inside the dryer simply becomes less means and the air flow becomes weaker = drying time increases , Electric dryer cabinet Travola KYS-333B # 246 , amused the drying population)))
Dream Tim has thinner trays along the edges, especially metal ones.

There is no sense in loading the dryer with extra pallets.

Duc, I just wrote = each dryer has its own resource.

And I have no desire to cut the tray - because the thickness of 2.5 cm = the height of the tray in Dry M, for example, in Izedri = quite enough for the thickness of meat or fish, thicker already and useless.

And additional trays can be bought for very few dryers - Izedri, Walter, Veterok, maybe there are others.
Or to pick up trays from other dryers, and this can not always be done with confidence.

trays close in Travola

do not close: between pallets in a pair of 12 mm, between adjacent pairs of pallets 3 mm [measured with a plastic ruler on Travola]

thicker already and useless

sometimes needed for bulk drying

And additional trays can be purchased for very few dryers.

that is why, it is optimal to choose among those for which you can buy additional pallets.

Please tell me which dryer and metal trays you should pay attention to?

Which dryer and metal trays should you pay attention to?

Infrared dryer for vegetables and fruits GEMLUX GL-IR500

Kitfort KT-1908

[gawala]

gawala, Galina, thanks :)

Which dryer and metal trays should you pay attention to?

Kitfort KT-1909, since it has a white body, it is somewhat cheaper (from 9,000 to 11,500 rubles) than Kitfort KT-1908 (from 12,000 to 13,000 rubles), which has a black body; several of them are more expensive than the original dehydrator RAWMID Dream Vitamin DDV-10 (from 14500 rubles for a white case to 16500 rubles for a black one); all have 9 stainless steel trays (RAWMID Dream Vitamin DDV-10 has 1 more trays) + 9 pallets for marshmallow + 9 nets each; power 700 W, timer from 00:30 to 19:30, with an interval of 30 minutes, drying temperature in the range from 35 to 70 ° C in steps of 5 ° C, overheating protection. The door allows, if necessary, to increase the air flow, which is especially important when drying / drying excessively damp products.
6-tray models of the same firms (Kitfort KT-1904, Kitfort KT-1906, RAWMID Dream Vitamin DDV-07); all have 6 stainless steel trays (RAWMID Dream Vitamin DDV-07 has 1 more trays) + 6 marshmallow trays + 6 nets each; power 500 W, timer from 00:30 to 19:30, with an interval of 30 minutes, drying temperature in the range from 35 to 70 ° C in steps of 5 ° C, overheating protection. The door allows, if necessary, to increase the air flow, which is especially important when drying / drying excessively damp products.
Gemlux GL-IR500 is more expensive (from 13,500 to 18,500 rubles) than Kitfort KT-1908, has a poorer configuration and is designed for a smaller volume of processed products: 5 stainless steel trays; power 500 W, timer up to 99 hours, drying temperature in the range from 30 to 70 ° C, 4 automatic modes (meat, fruits, vegetables, yoghurt).
I would not even consider Gemlux GL-IR500 in comparison with Dream Vitamin and clones. I have: Travola KYS-333D with 9 plastic trays and Ezidri Ultra FD1000.

Kitfort KT-1909, since it has a white body, it is somewhat cheaper (from 9,000 to 11,500 rubles),

not from body color less price so much = from the description in OZONE "The dryer is supplied with 9 food grade plastic pallets, 1 drip tray and 1 mesh. " 🔗

And you also need to pay attention to the parameters of the trays - length and width, with an equal number of trays, even a couple of cm less gives a smaller volume of the dryer.

[Marina ま り な]

Marina ま り なThank you for such a detailed description!

I bought Kitford with 6 stainless steel pallets in the description it was written 1 pallet for marshmallow and 1 milking greens. I was pleasantly surprised when they brought the dryer and unpacked the set included 6 pallets for marshmallow and 6 for drying herbs. I liked the dried tomatoes, I set the time and temperature, and everything turns off by itself, it works quietly .. I am very pleased.

from the description in OZONE

I trust the description on Kitfort's website more

🔗

, and I looked at the prices on the Ya-market, rounding them up, taking into account the cost of delivery + I took into account my drying experience ...

I have already gone through the "compaction" of the travolka, and I realized that compaction = no need, the load on the dryer increases, the air inside the dryer simply becomes less, and the air flow becomes weaker = drying time increases

if instead of mesh shelves you put solid blank partitions, then it is pointless to expect something other than disappointment.
Alternatively, in your case, it was necessary to slightly open the door to improve the air flow and accelerate the evaporation of excess moisture from the products that were dried / dried.
