Excaliber is the standard for most folks who are "serious" about their 
dehydrating.  I, personally, would kill to find another old dehydrator like 
I have that I bought back in the 70s.  The Excaliber is noisy, or so I'm 
told.  My little alien looking counter top convection oven/dehydrator is 
relatively quiet.

I also have one of those round stacked things.  They're o.k. but they take 
lots more time and you have to switch the trays continually to get an even 
job done.

As to spices, there is an outfit out of San Francisco that is supposed to be 
excellent.  I'll have to look up their name.  I get all mine at the Co-op 
that I don't grow myself, so haven't had occasion to order any online.
