Fooderux is a food dehydrator with five trays for drying fruits, vegetables, meats, herbs and pet treats. Cut the food into slices, place it on the trays and turn the unit on. A fan at the bottom circulates hot air through the trays, so the food dries evenly.
An LED display shows the temperature setting and the remaining time. Two separate buttons set the temperature and the timer. The temperature runs from 35 to 70°C (95 to 158°F) and the timer up to 48 hours. When the timer ends, the unit shuts off automatically.
The housing and trays are made of BPA-free, odorless PP that is heat-resistant. A thermal fan at the bottom helps keep the case from overheating. The unit runs at 25 dB or less, so it can run overnight.
