These are very handsome. The stitching is perfectly executed, the leather quality is high. They make a nice addition to high-end finishes and surfaces in a high-end home decor.
Just over a year ago, I got one of these dehydrators secondhand. I loved it and used it on almost a daily basis. Then, sadly, during the height of canning/dehydrating season, it died. A friend loaned me her dehydrator, which was a different brand and style. I can honestly say that I was missing my Nesco something terrible and when this model went on sale, I received it as a gift. My friend's dehydrator got me through (sort of) and being able to do the comparison was great for me. Now I know that when I need a dehydrator, I will be buying a Nesco, and not another brand. They are reliable, quiet, and I love the fact that I can stack and use just as many trays as I want. I love the fact that the trays from my old dehydrator fit into my new dehydrator. I will only have to buy one more set of main trays to have the 12 that will fit this model. At this point, I have only dehydrated fruits and veggies in it (my kids LOVE the fruit leather I make for them) but I am looking forward to making some jerky this winter. I cannot recommend this dehydrator enough.
We received these beautiful leather coasted personally engraved as a wedding gift and they were very well made. They are black with a silver engravable plate so they match our decor in every room. Classic!
