Our take on the Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHCK

The Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHCK is a six-tray stackable dehydrator with an adjustable thermostat that runs from 95°F to 160°F. Its 500W heater and top-mounted fan move air down through the trays, and the trays, base and top all come apart for cleaning. It suits beginners drying jerky, fruit leather, herbs and vegetables in batches, and it costs far less than cabinet-style dehydrators with digital controls. Reviewers like the simple dial and even drying but note the plastic build and the need to rotate trays.

What reviewers say

Owners describe the FD-61WHCK as a dependable entry-level dehydrator that dries evenly for the money. They praise the adjustable heat and easy cleanup, but many mention rotating trays and the lack of a timer.

What people mention
  • Drying evennessMixedOwners say trays dry fairly evenly but the top and bottom trays finish at different times, so rotating is needed.
  • BuildCriticisedReviewers call the plastic trays and body basic and report trays warping or cracking after heavy use.
  • ControlsMixedThe temperature dial is praised as simple, but the absence of a timer is a common complaint.
  • CleanupPraisedThe trays, base and top come apart, which owners say makes washing quick.
  • NoisePraisedOwners describe the fan as quiet enough to leave running on a kitchen counter.

Questions and answers

What can I dry with the FD-61WHCK?
Jerky, fruit leather, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs and crackers. The 95°F to 160°F range covers low-temperature herb drying up to safe jerky temperatures.
Does it have a timer?
No. You set the temperature with the dial and track drying time yourself, so a separate kitchen timer helps.
How many trays does it come with?
Six trays. They stack on the base, and the top holds the fan and heater.
Do I need to rotate the trays?
Yes, for even results. Swap top and bottom trays partway through drying, especially with full loads.
Is it expandable?
Nesco sells add-on trays for its stackable units, but check that they fit this model's base before buying.
How does it compare with a cabinet dehydrator?
It is simpler and cheaper, with a dial instead of digital controls and no timer. Cabinet models dry more evenly and hold more, but cost much more.
Where is the Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHCK cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $96.24, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Nesco American Harvest FD-61WHCK?
