I have had the 5 shelf Excalibur for over 20 years. I tried one of those round types when I picked up a brand new one, still in box at the SalVal for 5.00. To compare the 2 is like comparing apples to oranges. It depends on what you will be using the dehydrator for. I use the Excalibur for drying crafts as well as foods, so I need one that has the features the Excalibur offers. Such as yesterday, I made soap and dried the bars in the dehydrator. With the Excalibur you can use all the trays , some trays or remove them all for taller applications like raising bread or making yogurt and you cannot do that in round models, or at least the one I picked up cheap. If a part gets broken I can order replacements and the cheaper ones don't have a 10 year warranty. I saw on the Excalibur site the Economy 4 tray is one sale and lower priced than the Nesco Pro right now. I found that in the round types ones the food trays lower dried faster and you were constantly moving tray for even drying, you don't need to do that in the Excalibur. Dehydrated green beans with ham and potatoes is awesome. Dried strawberries are intense, and I always make a big batch of dried soup veggies , as those mixes are so pricy to buy. Both manufacturers have recipes/ideas on their websites, maybe those can help you decide.

Having rescued four dogs over the past 15 years, I have discovered that patience is a virtue, but persistence is also necessary. Look at it this way, a dog is looking for you, not the other way around. In time, you will be blessed. This blessing will put you in touch with the Divine, which will sustain you......... Good luck! Keep us posted!! I'm sure we would all like to see a photo of the new pup!!! SG

Doesn’t matter what it cost originally. It’s depreciated to land value only at this point if it hasn’t been kept up scrupulously to like new standards.

Most paint stores have the formulas to match popular colors from their competitors very closely…
