So far I have dried a variety of fruits — mostly apples — which all turned out to be delicious. Although it was already mentioned in the book (a recipe book comes with the dehydrator), that blueberries won't work. I wanted to try it out for myself. The result is - they don't work.
Veggies, like celery, carrots and onions are extremely flavourful when revived in water. I couldn't believe it. It's important to cut everything the same size if possible.
Since this is the first time I'm using a dehydrator I'm not able to say if this one is the best dehydrator on the planet, but I can say that 5 trays is the way to go for a small to average-sized family. Whatever you dry lasts for weeks, so if more trays are needed, it's fine!

The first thing I tried was kale chips. The kale came out pretty good. The smaller ones dried first and the larger ones were still a bit chewy in spots, so I need to organize them better next time. The yield was nice bowlful but I would really like to have made more.
Next, I tried beef jerky. The dehydrator did a nice job. I didn't calculate the time. I did mine for 6 hours and it was bit tough. I prefer them a bit more chewy. London broil was better than eye round.
The I tried an onion bread. Was in there for 15 hours and came out cracker-like (which I wanted). The Excalibur did a nice job on them. Now I am working on fruit leather-- apple, grape and pineapple.
The one thing I didn't like was needing to rotate the trays when I made the kale. It doesn't seem like I should have had to -- I was only using the second and fourth trays. I'm removing one star for that.
