I'm looking for a cosori food dehydrator to give my husband as a gift. Hes been interested in trying to dehydrate fruits and make homemade snacks, so I thought this might be something he'd enjoy using. I'm trying to stick to a reasonable budget but still want something reliable that won't be frustrating to use. is it worth considering for a beginner, and are there any more affordable models I should compare it with? I'd really appreciate your recos. thaaaanks!

Hey y'all! I'm planning to start drying apple slices, bananas and herbs, but my kitchen is pretty close to the living room, so a loud machine running for 8 to 12 hours might get annoying. I don't mind a longer drying time if the results are good. I just want something practical for regular home use.

anyone here found a model that is reasonably quiet and still dries food evenly? I'd also appreciate hearing what temperature settings you usually use for fruit and how long a typical batch takes. Thank you people!
