I have not yet had enough experience at it to give you much info.<br />Vera at http://vera-labartere.blogspot.fr/ highly recommends hers and says she does not know how she managed before. She uses hers for everything even to the extent of raising her dough for bread. Yes it does have a motor and a fan (the latter I think is quite noisy but you get used to it). Kerry at http://plustranquille.blogspot.fr/ also has just got a dehydrator, completely different to the one Vera and I have, but she seems pretty happy with results but she is also new to it all. <br />I am impressed with what I have done so far, but of course I have not used the dehydrated food as yet thought Vera has been using hers now for years and is delighted. I think I am going to be very happy with it when I have an over load of fruit and vegetables but time will tell. Hope this helps DianeRhodesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159888599601532530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-25305419853381548522016-02-13T16:51:43.261+01:002016-02-13T16:51:43.261+01:00Hi.

I have seen it in a few of your pictures - together with the lovely, useful products. Do I detect a motor at the back? I had an Australian dehydrator but stopped using it as it was taking forever for things to dry out now I live in the tropics. It didn't have a motor. As we're at step 1 of 1000 towards moving to France, I'm interested in thinking about dehydration of orchard and vegetable garden produce. I use a home preserving kit here and so I am bottling things for use out of season, but no dehydrating.
