Good value, most popular dehydrator on and at this price barely more expensive (and sometimes cheaper) than some of their smaller, lower wattage models.
Top mounted fan and heating element unlike other makes in this price range so easier to clean.
Main downsides are no timer and no power switch so you plug and unplug with each use.
They also have a square one for only $7 more on that has about 15% more capacity, particularly if dehydrating straight/long items, but one fewer trays to get there (good or bad depending on how you look at it), one fewer fine screen, and no fruit roll-up trays AFAIK.
Received mine a couple days ago. Full retail product with all accessories, still shrink wrapped but the box was a little dented which is probably how they got a lot of them at lower cost. Nothing inside was damaged.
