Pros & Cons
Pros
Great beef jerky. Just cut a sirloin with my meat slicer. Comes with everything needed to dehydrate practically everything.
Well packaged in original boxes. Free standard shipping. Still works like a champ.
It is a little louder than my last one. It is noisier than expected so we set it in another room. I wish it had a timer that shuts off the appliance when you set it to end.
Cons
Payment was refunded and return shipping paid. All of this within two weeks of purchasing it. Received the fd-1010p instead.
The sudden, uncontrolled heating to such a high temperature is alarming. I assume it's a blown fuse, but i have no idea why a fuse would blow after only 7 or 8 uses.

I sent it back because the lid is not what is advertised, it is very flimsy and not the same as the one i already have.
The unit turns on when plugged into the wall and turns off when i unplug it.
Price
After doing much research, this was the best choice for the price
I love this machine - it has paid for itself many times over.
Tried a cheaper dehydrator - waste of money (and food)!
Then the market had kale, spinach, and chard on sale.
Shipping
It came quickly and works very well.
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition with free standard shipping.
Also the delivery was very fast, good thing because i was in the middle of a load of apples when the old one died.
Competitiveness
Wow, after a failure of another brand, this unit is amazing!
I did a lot of research into them and consider this one to be the best for the price and capability.
The brand used to be american harvest, and is now nesco american harvest, but clearly the same style.

If forced to pick anything negative to say about it it might be the round shape with the hole in it when it comes to getting product off the trays
