Harvest Maid is the best but very $$$$

You basically want something with a fan and an adjustable thermostat. Don't get anything without both of those features.

Some friends of ours recommend this one from Walmart---they say it's the same one you would get at a big-name sporting goods/hunting store for less than half the price and it works just as well.

You can get extra trays at Walmart for it as well. :)


(I don't have time to research it for sure, but I THINK this is made by the Harvest Maid company)

I have the Nesco...but gardenmaster...same just MUCH bigger and LOVE it. I have added on LOTS more trays over the years. It came with 4...i have 12 now and it expands up to 30.

Nope, cuz it's not mine, it's my mom's. She's a couple thousand miles away and has had hers for forever. It's probably from the 70s/80s. :lol
