Review: WORKS ALMOST TOO WELL, CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT! =D - TL:DR: Just buy it already, you'll love it, AND try to buy a used / refurb / returned one from desertcart marketplace to save money! LOVE that I bought this one as an desertcart Marketplace USED item: as always, not disappointed with my choice for savings, that's for sure! Paid $ 746 instead of $1180, and the only thing 'wrong' with it was the tiniest of dents in the bottom metal liner-tray, so simply a small cosmetic thing that does not impinge on use at all I highly recommend purchasing refurb / used / barely returned items from Marketplace, have never been disappointed yet, and have saved literally THOUSAND of dollars, mostly on big-ticket items, including a tri-fuel generator, but also on a myriad of little, everyday things: helps to avoid returned items going to trash AND saves you money. What's not to like? I already owned one of the older 9-tray plastic ones, but it has never been enough for processing my spring through autumn harvesting of medicinal herbs, plus fruit, veggies, making flavoured condiment salts, leathers, jerky, & so much more. It was running 24 /7 for months at a time, so decided to add this one to ensure nothing went to waste waiting for a tray spot LOVE that it is just a tad larger footprint than my old one, & sturdy stainless, so the old one is now on top of the new one, double stacked. PERFECT! (SEE PIC OF STACK) LOVE that the 10th extra tray gets me to 16 sq ft in this machine (plus the 14+ on the old one makes it a much more effective drying surface for my needs) LOVE that because of the steel construction it is QUIETER that the older one, with its rattling plastic front door LOVE that the front door is glass, & I can check on status without opening the machine; I'm now considering purchasing a glass vertical front door for my old machine! (SEE PIC) I love that I can do the double-heat timing: a couple hrs at higher temps for my medicinal herbs especially, to just get the high-water content evaporated, then auto-switching to 95 F for that 'living foods' ultra low temp for nutrient & medicinal constituents preservation While the glass doors took more than a few minutes to install/ fidget with to get the perfect placement, & tho they have that (counterintuitive, but INTENTIONAL, for proper airflow!) gap between them, I LOVE that this newer model dries stuff way faster & more efficiently than my old one. Since the thermal unit and the fan are virtually identical, I believe /am guessing that it's the airflow design that is helping the efficiency. Items started at same time in both machines are perfectly dry hours sooner in the new one, even when I have not used the dual-temp set to fast-remove initial water content I have found myself having to keep an eye on it & change my long-established timetables for my herbs etc, & creating new ones for this machine: don't over-dry your stuff if you get this & are used to the older, flat-front vertical cover machines. Also have found myself of course refilling the trays over and over, and having down time (GASP!) between batches when I was not ready with the next thing LOL It's too efficient, dang it LOVE A TAD LESS: small drawback that I have experienced, & which has been mentioned in other reviews, is that the metal trays are indeed not quite exactly square, nor do they always slide easily in & out on those weird little side shelf-rails. Because metal tolerances in manufacturing are seldom exact for general, non-tech items, some trays are harder to get in an out, & sometimes a tray falls sideways off one of the rails if I don't place it exactly (SEE PIC OF TRAY FALLEN) LOVE A TAD LESS: also, the metal trays have a center under-bar for stability. That bar makes it at times very hard to flex the tray enough to get it in some of those above-mentioned narrower slides when doing a 1/4 turn. Not impossible, but a minor, annoying inconvenience LOVE A TAD LESS: MOST ANNOYING of these minor issues is that the trays also have a wider mesh (SEE PIC) than the old, white-plastic liners, so when drying things like mushroom pieces, or small-leaved herbs, you have no choice but to use a solid silicone liner or paper liner, otherwise small items fall right through after they dry. Not a problem if you do a whole-machine load of the same stuff, but I seldom do that in daily use, so don't want my mushroom pieces to fall on top of the oregano! Having to use a solid liner of some type kinda defies the whole idea of air-flow for faster, more efficient drying. I prefer having to use solid liners only for wet, drippy things, such as rollups, drying soup, marinated jerky, etc Review: Expensive - There was a time when Excalibur was the gold standard in dehydrators. Unfortunately this model is a huge disappointment. It’s flimsy, it’s cheap, it’s loud, and it’s grotesquely overpriced for the quality. The shelves fall right off the shelf supports and when you try to get customer service from Excalibur, well, you’d have better luck hollering down a well and waiting to hear a response. After three emails back-and-forth in which I had to provide more and more proof that I actually bought the dehydrator (despite having submitted evidence in the very first email) they sent an entire new set of shelves. If they had devoted as much time and attention into making sure their product is first rate as they do substantiating warranty claims I think that perhaps they might be able to reclaim their position as gold standard. ## Features - Large Capacity: Designed for heavy-duty use, this NSF-approved food dehydrator features a stainless steel interior and exterior and comes equipped with 10 Excalibur dehydrator trays that provide 16 square feet of drying space - Versatile Uses: Features a 99-hour digital dehydrator timer and an adjustable thermostat with a range of 95 to 165 degrees F – low enough for fruits and vegetables but high enough for dehydrating meat - Low & Slow for Immune Boost: Cooking foods at 115-118 degrees preserves nutrients and enzymes, making this the perfect dehydrator for food and jerky, dried fruit leather and fruit roll-ups, pet treats, yogurt, veggies, nuts, and even raising bread - Faster & Easier to Use: This meat and fruit dehydrator features exclusive Excalibur Parallex Horizontal Airflow technology, which dehydrates food faster, retains more nutrients, and helps food look and taste better without requiring tray rotation - Includes: Digital download of the Guide to Dehydration, 10 stainless steel trays, and a removable drip tray; Made in the USA with US- and globally sourced materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CPB6D5C | | Best Sellers Rank | #295,073 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #326 in Dehydrators | | Brand | Excalibur | | Brand Name | Excalibur | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 92 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029743001006 | | Included Components | Dehydrator | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Shape | Square | | Item Type Name | Electric NSF Approved with Digital Controller Features Adjustable Thermostat, 99-Hour Timer, Automatic Shut Off 16 Square Feet of Drying Space | | Item Weight | 63 Pounds | | Manufacturer | The Legacy Companies USA | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Features | Food Safe | | Model Number | EXC10EL | | Number of Trays | 10 | | Part Number | EXC10EL | | Temperature Range | 165 Degrees Fahrenheit | | UPC | 029743001006 | | Voltage | 120 | | Warranty Description | 10-year limited warranty | | Wattage | 600 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Excalibur - **Color:** Silver - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Voltage:** 120 - **Wattage:** 600 watts ## Images ![EXC10EL - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TtF7e9U5L.jpg) ![EXC10EL - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lTfg7LHyL.jpg) ![EXC10EL - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816IU4x4ZPL.jpg) ![EXC10EL - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u3IYtUk9L.jpg) ![EXC10EL - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915K7sa9v5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The one and only review says the trays are actually plastic!! are they plastic or stainless steel????** A: The unit comes with Polycarbonate trays. The image is incorrect. I will have image updated. Thank you and sorry for the confusion. **Q: does your food get stuck on the stainless steal trays?** A: Dehydrated foods are "tight" to the trays after the process, but pop off pretty easy with a bench knife or a wipe of the hand. I should add that I ONLY do vegetables. No meats. **Q: Can you provide the manufacturer's warranty information?** A: Hi, Leo. This product has a 10 year warranty when purchased through an authorized dealer. **Q: I would like to get this setup in my kitchen cabinets, is there a fan in the back that requires free circulation?** A: Yes, there is a fan in the back that needs free circulation. Also, keep in mind that this dehydrator is large. The dimensions are 20.5D x 17.2W x 17H inches. The shipping weight is around 63 pounds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WORKS ALMOST TOO WELL, CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT! =D *by C***N on August 27, 2023* TL:DR: Just buy it already, you'll love it, AND try to buy a used / refurb / returned one from Amazon marketplace to save money!

However, I'm so glad I spent the extra money and got this one. It's awesome. It's nice to be able to control the drying temperature and set it for a certain amount of time. The parts are all metal and glass. I'm very impressed and am having fun finding and trying different foods to dry. ## Frequently Bought Together - Excalibur EXC10EL Electric Food Dehydrator Machine with 99-Hour Timer, Automatic Shut Off and Temperature Control, 600 W, 10 Trays, Silver - Set of 9-14" x 14" Silicone Sheets for Excalibur Dehydrator Bright Kitchen Re-Usable Non-Stick Mat (9) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72372124-exc10el](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72372124-exc10el) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
