Which dehydrator is better for making jerky?

The Cosori is slightly better due to its 165°F maximum temperature, which meets safety standards for drying meat more effectively than the NESCO's 160°F limit.

Do I need to rotate trays during the drying process?

No, both units feature specialized airflow. The Cosori uses horizontal rear-mounted airflow, and the NESCO uses a patented Converga-Flow system to eliminate the need for rotation.

Is the extra cost for the Cosori worth it?

Yes, if you value a digital timer and stainless steel materials. The NESCO requires a separate plug-in timer if you want it to turn off automatically.

Which one is easier to clean?

The Cosori is generally easier because the stainless steel trays are fully dishwasher safe and the interior walls are flat metal, whereas the NESCO has round plastic components.
