Five Tray Digital Dehydrator

The MAXI-MATIC FD-5TC is a new specialty appliance designed for home cooks who want to make preservative-free jerky, fruit leather, vegetable chips, herbs or pet treats. It ships with five BPA-free plastic trays measuring 12 by 9.5 inches that nest together for compact storage when not in use.

Upgrade From Stackable or Round Units

This model replaces basic dehydrators that lack digital controls or require manual tray rotation for even results. The jump is worth it when you need a programmable timer up to 124 hours and an adjustable temperature range of 95 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for consistent, hands-off drying across all five trays.

Fits Standard Countertop And 120 Volt Outlet

The unit measures 10.71 inches wide by 12.6 inches deep by 9.65 inches high and weighs 5.03 pounds, so it sits on a typical kitchen surface without special reinforcement. A bottom-mounted fan distributes 500 watts of heat evenly, while a built-in cord compartment keeps the power lead tidy between uses.

Questions about this item

How much counter space do the 12 by 9.5 inch trays and the 10.71 inch wide base require?

The unit measures 10.71 inches wide, 12.6 inches deep and 9.65 inches high, so allow at least that footprint plus a few inches clearance for the bottom-mounted fan airflow.

What is the correct way to load the five BPA-free trays for even drying without rotating them?

Place trays in the Operating Position with space between each level; the 500 watt bottom-mounted fan pushes heat upward so food on every tray dries evenly without manual rotation.

When should the clear plastic trays or the tray lid be replaced?

Replace any tray that shows cracks, warping or deep scratches that trap food particles; the BPA-free plastic is dishwasher-safe but repeated high-heat cycles can degrade it over time.
