MAXI-MATIC 2015YJ Specialty Appliance 5 Stainless Steel Trays 400W 176°F

Compact Food Dehydrator for Home Use

This electric food dehydrator offers five stainless steel trays and a rear-mounted fan with air-flow circulation for even drying without tray rotation. A transparent door lets you monitor progress while the digital control panel sets temperatures from 86 °F to 176 °F and a timer up to 48 hours. Overheat protection stops the unit automatically if a problem occurs.

Power and Temperature Limits

The appliance runs on a 120 volt supply and draws 500 watts, so it requires a standard household outlet capable of that load. Its adjustable range tops out at 176 °F, which covers most jerky, herb and fruit recipes but excludes higher-temperature cooking or commercial-scale dehydration. The 48-hour timer ceiling also means very long drying cycles must be restarted manually.

Five Removable Stainless Steel Trays

Each tray measures 8.9 by 8.3 inches and lifts out for cleaning, while two silicone mesh trays and two solid trays are included for fine foods and fruit roll-ups. Buyers who need larger batch capacity or continuous operation beyond 48 hours will find the tray count and timer limit restrictive.
