I got the older version of the 5 tray 304 stainless steel dehydrator from The Sausage Maker. It has the temperature controller and a timer. At that time I paid extra to upgrade from the chrome plated trays that would rust. I dried grapes, cut in halves, and various slices of pluots, mangos, figs, and apples. The suggested drying temperature for fruits is 135F. However, the enzymes will be destroyed at 118F, so I set the temperature at 115F because the dehydrator comes with a variation of plus or minus 2F. I washed and sliced the fruits but put nothing else on them. It took much longer time, but the dried fruits retained the fresh color and taste. My daughter and sisters liked them a lot. I put them in the Ball glass jars with the food grade desiccant silica gel. We are still finishing the leftovers figs and apples from 2017. Please note that the air is mostly dry in SoCal so the dried fruit last longer. Last year we had none to dry because of the heat wave.
