I absolutely love my Excalibur 2900.. It has been used almost non-stop since I got it over a month ago. I dehydrated 80 lbs of tomatoes, have soaked nuts and then dehydrated them with sea salt, made raw crackers, raw macaroons, fruit leather.. Right now I have almonds in it. I soaked them for 24 hours then coated them in agave nectar put them on the trays and sprinkled with cayenne pepper and sea salt. They are almost done and so good!
I love that you can remove trays so you have more room for larger items- like my raw macaroons were tall- so I removed the tray above them. I have also removed the bottom tray and put a dish of marinated mushrooms on the bottom to just get heated up and soft. They were so delicious!
I love experimenting with it. There are so many yummy healthy treats you can make using a good dehydrator and Excalibur is one of the best on the market!
Here are the specs from Pleasant Hill Grain Company’s website:

The Excalibur® Dehydrator, Model 2900 is a premium USA-made dehydrator with a long and solid track record. It features exceptionally solid case and tray construction, and includes polyethylene mesh screens for all trays. Its patented Excalibur Parallexx™ airflow system circulates air from back to front of dehydrator so each tray receives its own supply of fresh, dry air. This exclusive Excaliber dehydrator design prevents flavor-sharing and produces even drying without time consuming tray rotation. The Excalibur food dehydrator has a convenient removable front cover (not illustrated) that allows you to remove any tray without disturbing other trays. Trays are fully removable for full access.

The Excalibur® 2900 Dehydrator comes with 9 large drying trays, each 14.1″ x 14.1″ (1.36 sq. ft.), for a total of 12.4 square feet of drying area! (14 square feet if you use the tray edges.) Also included are 9 stick-resistant poly mesh sheets. Big 7″ diameter fan for strong airflow, with 600 watt heater. Temperature is adjustable between 85° and 155° F. The Excalibur dehydrator measures 12.5″H x 17″W x 19″D. Food contact parts of the Excalibur dehydrator are dishwasher safe.

Low-Temp Oven Option: The Excalibur dehydrator features a full cabinet and can be operated with any number of trays — or no trays at all. This gives you the option of using it as a low-temperature oven and for unconventional purposes like drying damp boots or mittens!

Durable Construction: ABS polymer dehydrator cabinet is very strong and easy to clean. Opaque exterior of the Excalibur food dehydrator blocks light to preserve nutrition of drying food.
