Replaces my 25 year old pro model
4 Stars
Replaces my 25 year old pro model
Have had the no digital one for many years, where all the electrics are in the base. Workhorse, but had to open up and clean out bits occasionally that well down into the fan. Was getting noisier over time, and when I saw this newer version with all the electrics on top, figured it was time the old one.Really nice that all the 15.5" trays from my old one fit with the new one, as I had 8 trays and screens. They can be a bit pricey accessories, so nice they all are still usable.Each of the new trays had flashing around several of the locking lugs on the tray bottoms. If even one of the lugs has that casting error, the tray won't be able to rotate and lock onto the tray below it. Picture I've attached was of a typical one. A few were worse, but about half of all of them on each tray needed attn.Had the same locking lugs on the old model, but those old trays were cast more precisely, with no flashing overflow. So,,,, took some time to clean off the lug flashing with a deburring tool I had around. Viola... Now all of the trays lock together as they should, with full interchangeability between the old and new versions.Going to dry tomatoes today. Already tried a 30 minute test of this new machine, although haven't verified the temp accuracy as yet. Certainly quieter than my old one, so after that flashing cleanup, I have my fingers crossed

Me gusto mucho lo facil del control de temperatura y tiempo, es muy intuitivo y sencillo. Los materiales son muy resistentes y ligeros a la vez. Se limpian facilmente.
Lo unico que no esperaba, aunque no es un problema, fue su tamaño, es voluminoso y grande. Desarmado se puede almacenar en cualquier lugar.
