How many trays does it come with, and can I add more?

It ships with five trays. Nesco sells add-on trays for this line, so you can stack more for bigger batches.

What temperature range does it offer?

The thermostat runs from 95°F to 160°F. That covers herbs and vegetables at the low end and jerky at the top.

Does it have a timer?

No. You set the temperature with a dial and track drying time yourself.

Are the trays dishwasher-safe?

Yes. The trays and removable parts can go in the dishwasher.

Is it good for jerky?

Yes. The 160°F top setting and top-mounted fan make it a common choice for jerky, though you will need to check progress as it dries.

How does it compare with square-tray dehydrators?

It costs less and dries evenly, but square trays use space more efficiently and often include timers.

Our take on the Nesco FD-75PR

The Nesco FD-75PR is a five-tray round food dehydrator with an adjustable thermostat that runs from 95°F to 160°F and a 600W heating element with a top-mounted fan. It suits beginners and small households drying fruit, jerky, herbs and vegetables in batches. Against square-tray rivals it holds less per batch and its trays are smaller, but the wide temperature range and dishwasher-safe trays are more than most budget dehydrators offer. Owners like the simple dial and even drying; the main complaints are the plastic build and the limited capacity.
