The Excalibur ED-3500 Five-Tray Food Dehydrator is the Compact Model in Excalibur's Deluxe 3000 Series with upgraded heavy duty components and 10-year warranty!

With its compact size, the Excalibur ED-3500 is great for small families, small gardens or specialty gardens. Contains 5 LARGE trays with 8 square feet of tray area.

With 35 years of manufacturing excellence, the Excalibur Food Dehydrator sets the industry standard for design, quality, and dependability. The Parallexx™ design, with a temperature controlled, fan forced, horizontal drying system mounted in the rear is the same features found in Excalibur's NSF Commercial Dehydrators ...in an affordable home unit.

Excalibur, the first name in food dehydration presents the Economy 2000 Series, featuring the exclusive turbo charged Parallexx™ Drying System. The 2000 Series offers the same versatility, and quality construction as Excalibur's Top of the Line units—

Turbo Charged Drying System

Cool air is drawn in the back, heated, and distributed evenly across each tray. During the dehydration process, warm air removes moisture from foods and is pushed out the front of the machine.

Economical round dehydrators cannot distribute heat as evenly as the Excalibur resulting less controlled drying, and increase in time to dry and more maintenance due to  frequent tray re-stacking and cleaning due to spillage.
