What fruit dryer is better

The electric dryer simplifies the harvesting of vegetables and fruits, making the process faster, and products are more useful than with conventional preservation. The choice of drying combine depends on many features with which it is necessary to get acquainted before shopping.

According to the principle of operation, household dryers are divided into two categories:

Convective - for the output of moisture from products use hot air from the tubular heater, a little change the taste and color, vitamins retain almost completely.
Infrared - equipped with radiating IR rays an element, cost more expensive and require fine cutting products (8-10 mm), but fruits dried without losing useful properties.

Preferably, the upper placement of the heating element - moisture falls less, and it serves longer.

The power of the dryers little affects the cost of billets. On the one hand, the more powerful the device, the faster it will process products, but will spend more electricity. On the other hand, the time of work will decrease, it means that the overrun will be insignificant. The capacity of the model depends on the power:

Up to 350 W - low-power devices, suitable for rare use in a small family, for example, Maxwell MW-3851 - a convenient and simple dryer with a single control button.
350-450 W - the optimal option for one family, power is enough for quick drying, but the bill of light will not be large.
From 450 W - these copies will enjoy the fans of home billets, as they work quickly and are used even to ride meat.

The capacity of the drying is affected by the number of "floors", their volume and especially the height of each pallet - the higher the tier, the larger the pieces in it will be arranged. Thus, the model Zelmer 36Z011 volume of more than 11 liters without difficulty will fulfill the plan in stocks for the winter. For processing mushrooms, dryers with adjustment of the height of sections or with additional trays, like products under the Ezidri brand, are designed. Pallets and housing of domestic dryers are made of two types:

Metal - Easy wash, products in them never smell;
Plastic - lighter and cost cheaper, and transparent allow you to visually watch drying.

Various functions are important, ensuring convenience of operation:

AutoCillion, like Supra DFS-211, the device itself finishes the process after a specified time expiry.
Built-in thermal protection in ViteSse VS-506 prevents the output of a motor with long-term use.
Step or smooth temperature adjustment is needed when selecting the optimal mode for each product, so, TEFAL DF100830 dries fish at 75 ° C.
Installed in the model Skarlett SC-421 The fan contributes to blowout products from all sides.

The design of electrical dryers with mechanical control is easier and more reliable, electronic control is more accurate, but in the absence of electricity, the settings may be lost.

The cost of the dryers varies in a wide range, and depends on the functionality and quality of manufacture. Conditionally all products are divided into three segments:

Budget - devices, well-combined quality indicator / price, as an example, Rotex, Vinus, Orion products can be brought to the example;
Medium - products are more advanced to which the models from Zelmer are related, as well as many Russian: "breeze", "rotor" or "diva-suite";
Premium - Drying Combines, designed for many years of work and with maximum possibilities: Ezidri Everyday, Sedona, Rotel.

During the purchase, it is worth asking for a consultant to show how the dryer understands to understand how convenient the design of the kitchen appliance is performed.
