Our take on the NutriChef PKFD12
The NutriChef PKFD12 is a compact five-tray electric food dehydrator with a simple on/off switch and no thermostat. It suits beginners drying herbs, fruit leather and jerky in small batches on a countertop. Against rivals it is basic: most competitors at this level add adjustable temperature and a timer, which the PKFD12 lacks. Owners like how easy it is to set up and clean, but the fixed heat limits what you can dry well.
- Five trays give decent capacity for its footprint
- On/off switch makes it dead simple to run
- Compact, light plastic body fits under cabinets
- Trays and base are easy to wipe clean
- Low entry point into dehydrating
- No temperature control, so everything dries at one heat

What reviewers say
Owner feedback is mixed. People praise how simple and compact it is for small drying jobs, but many complain that the lack of a thermostat and timer makes results uneven.
- Temperature controlCriticisedOwners say the single fixed heat cannot be adjusted, so delicate foods dry too fast and jerky is hard to do safely.
- TimerCriticisedReviewers note there is no timer or auto shutoff, so batches need manual watching.
- BuildMixedThe plastic body is light and easy to move, but some owners find the trays flimsy under heavier loads.
Questions and answers
- Does the NutriChef PKFD12 have a temperature dial?
- No. It runs at one fixed heat with only an on/off switch, so you cannot set a drying temperature.
- Can I make beef jerky in it?
- It is not ideal. Safe jerky needs a controlled temperature near 160°F, and this unit has no thermostat.
- How many trays does it have?
- Five stackable trays. That is enough for small batches of herbs, apple slices or fruit leather.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- The trays are meant to be hand washed. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and never immerse it.
- How does it compare with dehydrators that cost a little more?
- Those usually add adjustable temperature and a timer. The PKFD12 trades those controls for simplicity.
- What comes in the box?
- The dehydrator base, five trays and a lid. No recipe book or mesh sheets are included.
