A great little machine

I had been researching dehydrators for months and finally decided on this one. I am happy I did. I have dried veggies fruits made jerky and fruit leathers so far. It is easy to use has great recipes and works well. It is nice to be able to give the kids snacks that are not full of sugars and things no one can pronounce. I only wish it had a timer. I will probably use a regular timer and plug it into that.



Pros: *fan not in bottom of unit - allows for more uniform drying

*temperature control

*size - fits nicely on a kitchen counter

*availability of accessories

*ease of use



Cons: *no timer

*no on/off switch - you have to unplug the unit to turn it offMore detail ...

This worked where all the other sharpeners failed

My son gave me a high quality chef's knife a year ago. I kept the knife sharp using a sharpening steel. I had never used a high quality knife before and the difference was remarkable. It was a real improvement over all the knives I had ever used. I really enjoyed using it.



Then after about 4 months the knife suddenly got dull. No matter what I did I could not get it back to the way it was when it was new! I used 6 different sharpening gadgets including an oiled wet-stone a powered work-shop knife sharpener two traditional kitchen knife sharpeners and even a special diamond coated gadget from our local gourmet shop. They all got the knife sharp as sharp as all my other knives but it was no longer dramatically better than the cheap knives.



Based on the 5 star reviews I decided to give the Presto 08800 Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener a try. After carefully following the instructions the knife was restored to it's like-new scary sharpness on the first sharpening. It has stayed sharp for 2 weeks with much use.

We have since sharpened several other knives with similar high quality results.



Don't do what I did instead buy this sharpener first! It is a great tool!



My advice is to carefully read the instructions and follow them. It worked for me.More detail ...

Better than the SharpStone

I've been using a 2.5" SharpStone grinder and this beats it hands down with a much nicer feel 24 grinding "nubs" to SharpStone's 12 and also no tight lid leaving aluminum residue around the outer edges after grinding.



Another review gave this only 3 stars saying that it has a weak magnet however it works just fine: turn the grinder upside-down and the lid doesn't fall off even with a bit of shaking. What more does one need?



Also someone noted that this model's kief screen is too fine to be effective. While it does look that way I'm finding that it is equal in "production" to the SharpStone.



One complaint that I have with both products is that they require too many turns to tighten the parts together; surely these could have been machined so that a single twist would do the trick eliminating the need for a fine touch in order to get the pieces together without stripping the threads.More detail ...
