The Excalibur dehydrator 4400 compact model comes with 4 trays offering just under 4 square feet of drying space; this is half the total drying space of the 5 tray version. Due to its much smaller overall size, it is suited to those who are space challenged or only dehydrating small quantities but want the efficiency and reliability offered by Excalibur. There is no timer or on/off switch with this model but it can be used with a conventional plug-in timer which can be purchased from any hardware store or supermarket. This is the same model as the Excalibur dehydrator 2400 but with a 220/240V motor.
It has a 4" fan and heating element mounted onto the rear wall. Cool, dry air is sucked in through the back of the dehydrator, heated up and then evenly distributed across each tray as shown in the diagram. During the dehydration process, the warm air removes the moisture from the food and this moist air is pushed out through the front and replaced with dry air from the back. Horizontal airflow provides even drying, eliminating the need for rotation of the trays during dehydrating.
The latest Excalibur food dehydrator built to the highest standards in the USA. 35 years of manufacturing expertise and their patented "Parallexx" horizontal drying process make this dehydrator the leader in its field for food dehydrating. Excalibur dehydrators are recommended by the world renowned Hippocrates Health Institute and are highly regarded by the raw food community because of their adjustable temperature and are now backed with a 5 year warranty. An Excalibur dehydration guide with recipes and tips is included with every food dehydrator. See here for more information on food dehydrating and food dehydrators.
Drying is fast and very little heat is lost as the Excalibur dehydrator doesn’t need to be taken apart to change the tray sequence during the dehydrating process, simply remove the front door and slide out the required tray. Each tray can be removed making space for larger items such as whole fruit, casserole dishes and this height advantage over other food dehydrators makes it ideal for arts and crafts.
The case, door and trays on the Excalibur 4400 food dryer are constructed of high grade polycarbonate which is virtually unbreakable. The Excalibur food dehydrator has 4 black 28 x 28 cm dishwasher safe trays with flexible mesh inserts offering just under 4 square feet of drying space in total.
The adjustable thermostat has a range from 85-145 °F (29 - 68 °C) allowing the Excalibur dehydrator 4400 to produce perfect drying of various different produce every time and the square tray design increases the drying area over other dehydrators with round trays. Average running cost per hour is 2 to 3 pence. Juiceland are an authorised Excalibur dealer and there is a 5 year warranty with this product.
