Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I am thinking of buying an excalibur dehydrator and can't decide on the 5 or 9 tray size. I was wondering if someone who has one could tell me how much space is in between the trays? Thanks, Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hello Janet - I just went and measured mine - there is an inch from the center of one tray to the center of the other - so taking into account the thickness of the trays there is a tad less than an inch of space between the trays. I rarely have to remove a try to make room for something that is too big to dehydrate between the existing trays.I highly recommend the 9-tray model. You will be happy to have all of that surface area when you need it!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I also want to purchase an Excalibur, and was planning to do so today to take advantage of a sale they are currently running, which ends this evening. I already have a 5-tray round Nesco, which does a decent job, but now I want the " better " dehydrator. On the Excalibur site, they indicate that the 5-tray model is best suited for small families, so that's what I was planning to buy. Again, I do have my Nesco too. Would you recommend that I go with the 9-tray model vs. the 5-tray? Thanks in advance! Carol > > > > I am thinking of buying an excalibur dehydrator and can't decide on the 5 or 9 tray size.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 It really depends on what you intend to do with it. I grow most of our food, so preserving it is important, but the main reason I wish I had gone with the 9 tray is so I could do yogurt in larger containers-with the smaller one, you are limited to the smaller jars. Removing the trays gives you ample room for the smaller ones, but it would have been nice to have the extra headspace. The 4 or 5 tray is fine for most things, other than the fact that I wanted the extra room. I have the square Nesco, which I bought to put in my motorhome, but I am actually loving it enough that I now use it in place of the Excalibur, but this time of year,I am not needing the extra space. > > > > > > I am thinking of buying an excalibur dehydrator and can't decide on the 5 or 9 tray size.
