What's the best food dehydrator? To answer this question, we have to consider the different needs and desires of the people who would use a food dehydrator. Some people want capacity above all else, while others need a dehydrator that will work well in small spaces. Some will be interested in how the dehydrator will look in their kitchen, while others most concerned about quiet operation and performance at lower temperatures. Good dehydrators each have strengths and weaknesses that need to be considered in the context of your unique situation.
All that said, here is a start on a "best dehydrator list", where we name a few of our favorites.
The best food dehydrator for a raw foods diet
Because of its unique protection from over-heating, we think the Sedona SD-9000 is currently the best choice for raw foods enthusiasts looking for a food dehydrator. Unlike most other dehydrators, the Sedona will not allow the temperature to rise above the current setting. When the interior reaches the set temperature, the Sedona SD-9000 will "cycle" and let the temperature decrease a bit before the heating element is again engaged. For raw foods enthusiasts, this is especially important because it means that when you set the Sedona dehydrator at the recommended temperature of 118 F, you can be sure the temperature will not exceed this setting, thus protecting the activity of enzymes that are harmed at higher temperatures.
