Hi,

I am seeking recommendations of what kind and where to get a small not- so -expensive but a good working dehydrator.

All I will use it for is making flax crackers and maybe corn chips or a pizza crust but that would be pretty rare.

Thanks in advance.

PS. (I live in the Boston area).

Hi there,
I would go to ebay. They have cheap ones there.
You could also try Freecycle in your area.

Good luck!

You can get the American Harvest Snack Master from Walmart, www.walmart.com , www.nesco.com (cost a little more from them) or www.everythingKitchens.com for under $50. You can also order more trays, more fruit roll trays (their equivalent to teflex sheets) and a convert-a-tray that is deeper for making taller items from either nesco.com or everythingkitchens.com.

If you go to Walmart (the physical store) be sure to double check for that temp. control!! There are some round models being sold at different stores that do NOT have one.

It's a round model but has a temp. control. I've had and used mine for almost a 2 years now and still use it along with my Excalibur! You can still do pizza and crackers and other stuff in it...you'll just have it round and with a hole in the center...but doesn't do anything to how the food tastes!

One thing that you won't be able to do is fit a whole pan into it. But I think you'll get some good use out of it especially for the limited items and infrequent occasions you will use it for!
