A successful model of a little-known Russian brand. According to the characteristics, it differs little from other dryers in the category, but it is convenient and safe to use. When turned on, the indicator lights up, when overheating, an automatic shutdown is triggered. The pallets are made of durable plastic. They are transparent, you do not need to turn off the dryer once again to check the readiness of the products.

The standard diameter is 33 cm. According to the manufacturer's description, all five pallets can withstand a load of up to eight kilograms in total. But they don't fit that much. The intensity of drying is regulated only by the ventilation holes on the lid, there is no temperature setting here. The only downside is the lack of reviews. On different resources they are still single. Otherwise, this model is no worse than others.

A good model for the price, capacity, workmanship. Pallets here are made of durable opaque plastic. It is slightly flexible, not brittle, does not crack when dropped. Each tray holds four medium sized sliced ​​apples.There is no fan, the lower tiers heat up more. For uniform drying, they need to be swapped. The temperature is evenly distributed over the area of ​​the pan.

The power button glows during operation, it is immediately clear when the heating is on. The rest of the dryer is identical to other models in this top category. This is a simplicity of design, silent operation, ventilation holes on the lid. Good quality plastic, does not deform from high temperature, even when you first turn it on there is no unpleasant smell. Minus - the power is only 125 W, the fruits are dried slowly.

Inexpensive model with a power of 125 W, without temperature control. Pallets are made of transparent plastic. Through it, you can preliminarily evaluate the readiness of products, so as not to once again change the levels in places. The quality of the plastic is average, it seems fragile. Sometimes in the reviews there are complaints that during prolonged work the mesh melts along the edges. The standard pallet diameter is 32 cm. Up to a kilogram of food is placed on each level.

The absence of a fan makes the model silent. It can be placed in the room, left on at night. Fruits dry slowly, but this does not affect the result. Thinly sliced ​​apples are ready in 10-12 hours, herbs dry out in 4-5 hours. But it is better not to load the pallets too much. The design is quite simple, there is not even an operation indicator - only the power button. But the dryer fulfills its small price.

A simple five-level dryer with good value for money.For a little more than 2000 rubles, buyers get a completely silent model with a power of 200 watts. Pallets are made of durable translucent plastic. They do not deform from heating, do not emit extraneous odors. On the lower levels, the products dry faster, but this is the problem with all dryers with air supply from below.

The lid has ventilation holes of various sizes. By adjusting the degree of opening, it is possible to adjust the condensate drain and the temperature. There is no precise adjustment here, the electric dryer operates in one mode. The only button on the case is the power on. But buyers are happy with everything. The compact model takes up a minimum of space, does not make noise, copes with its task. You cannot process a large crop with it, but it is quite possible to dry some seasonal fruits, mushrooms and vegetables for the winter.
