I have an American Harvester. Comes w/ 4 trays, can buy expansions. Things
I like about it (some of these may be extras you would have to purchase.):

Temperature adjustable. The temp you want to dry jerky at is higher than the
one you would dry herbs at. The AH allows this adjustment.

Expandable - I thing 12 trays is a limit.

Mesh inserts -- for sticky or small items (thyme leaves) that insert into
the standard tray.

"Saucer inserts" -- for drying sauce-like or pulpy things.

Possible disadvantage: Dehydrator is round (for even temp distribution).
Some more "professional" dehydrators are square in shape.

Good luck,

Chris Mauchline
