- Does it have a timer?
- The base EFDL2500 has digital temperature control but no built-in timer on most versions. You set the heat and check progress yourself.
- How many trays does it have?
- Five stackable trays. That suits small batches of fruit, herbs or a few pounds of jerky, not large family loads.
- What temperature range does it reach?
- It adjusts up to 158°F, which covers herbs, fruit leather and jerky. It does not go high enough for some meat-safety recipes that call for 165°F.
- Can I add more trays?
- No. The EFDL2500 is sold as a fixed five-tray unit and Elite Gourmet does not list expansion trays for it.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- No. The trays and mesh inserts are hand-wash only, so plan on soaking and scrubbing after sticky batches.
- Who is it for?
- Beginners and small-batch dryers who want digital heat control without paying for a timer or a large fan-driven machine.
