I'm tired of buying cheap JUNK... whatever...it being a Nesco dehydrator or a black and decker/food saver sealer. My first Nesco lasted 5 years, my second lasted 2 months...
I looked at better/more expensive ones on Cabela's site almost 3 times what I paid for the Nesco then checked the reviews. 2.7% out of 5 liked the product, the rest had it fail after using it a couple times. All the same problem, a cheap, bad resistor/fuse on the heating element, easy fix if you have a soldering iron, order new ones on the Internet and the knowledge to fix it. But why can't they do it right the first time and charge a little more?
That's why I'm going old school, I'd rather rebuild an old well built dehydrator/sealer than buy one of the new fancy models.
