Our take on the NutriChef Premium Food Dehydrator Machine 1500 Watts

The NutriChef Premium is a 1500-watt countertop dehydrator with a stainless steel body and a rear-mounted fan that pushes hot air across the trays. The high wattage means it reaches temperature fast and recovers quickly when you add wet food, which suits large batches of jerky, fruit leather and vegetables. It is a big, heavy machine, so it fits a dedicated drying corner rather than a small kitchen. Against rival tray dehydrators it trades a lower price for louder operation and less even drying at the edges, which owners notice on thin slices.

Pros
  • 1500 watts heats up fast and holds temperature under a full load
  • Stainless steel body and trays are sturdier than most plastic rivals
  • Rear fan moves air across all trays, not just the bottom
  • Adjustable thermostat covers low drying temperatures for herbs and yogurt
  • Trays and drip tray come out for washing
Cons
  • Loud in use; owners compare it to a small fan running nearby
  • Drying can be uneven at tray edges, so trays need rotating
  • Bulky and heavy for a countertop appliance
  • No timer on the base model, so you monitor batches yourself

What reviewers say

Owners rate it as a solid large-capacity dehydrator for the money, with fast heat-up and sturdy steel parts. The recurring complaints are noise and uneven drying toward the tray edges, which needs rotating.

What people mention
  • NoiseCriticisedOwners say it is loud enough to be annoying in an open kitchen and compare it to a running fan.
  • Even dryingMixedMost trays dry well, but slices near the edges finish later and need rotating.
  • BuildPraisedThe stainless steel body and trays feel sturdier than the plastic parts on cheaper dehydrators.
  • Heat-upPraisedThe 1500-watt element gets to temperature quickly and recovers after wet food goes in.
  • SizeCriticisedIt is large and heavy, so owners keep it in a pantry or garage rather than on the counter.

Questions and answers

How does it compare with a plastic tray dehydrator?
It heats faster and feels sturdier thanks to the steel body and 1500-watt element. In return it is heavier, louder and takes more counter space than a basic plastic unit.
Do I need to rotate the trays?
Yes, for thin or wet foods. Air comes from the rear, so slices at the tray edges dry slower; swapping trays front to back midway evens out batches.
Does it have a timer?
The base unit has an adjustable thermostat but no timer, so you check doneness yourself. Set a kitchen timer if you dry overnight.
What can I dry in it?
Jerky, fruit leather, vegetable slices, herbs, apple rings and yogurt. Low thermostat settings suit herbs and yogurt; higher settings suit meat.
Is it loud enough to matter?
Yes, it is one of the louder dehydrators in its class. Owners who dry overnight often move it to a garage or utility room.
How much food fits at once?
Several trays of sliced produce or a large batch of jerky fit in one run, which is the point of the high wattage. Very wet loads still need extra time.
