What customers say about "Key Specs"
Excalibur 3900B Deluxe Dehydrator
- Quality of trays and the case is very durable and strong.
- Seems very durable, easy to clean, the trays are easy to setup and use, as wellas, easy to clean up.
- It has a sturdy construction and easy to clean.
- This unit is light weight and easy to move around the kitchen.
- The plastic is very brittle.
Excalibur 9 Tray 3926TB Food Dehydrator
- The Excalibur has certainly lived up to its name. It's a beast! 9 trays, a superpowered fan, with low noise- can't complain!! Have dried hops and several fruits with no issues. Would recommend.
- I love this thing!! It is pretty loud, so watch out for that. But very powerful!
- Nice trays is really a TON of space. I can fit 4 bananas, 1lb of jerky, or 6 kiwis to a tray
- The timer and the wide range of temperature settings make this model worth the price.
- For our use it was necessary to be able to control temperature and time and this model, made in USA, BTW, does it all.
- The black plastic trays are hard for me to clean because I don't have a dishwasher and they are just a hair bigger than my sink.
- I have used it less than 10 times since buying it. Now the fan has pooped. out.

What customers say about "Details"
Excalibur 3900B Deluxe Dehydrator
- I like the built in thermostat, and I like the way the trays are nice and square.
- Very easy to use and lots of tray space. The thermostat is the most important part for food safety, and with the heatwave technology they use it keeps meat somewhat tender as it dries.
- The thermostat range is 95° to 165° F. Nice little unit. Works very well.
- Thermostat is severely out of calibration. Checked with precision thermocouple.
- This model does not include a timer, only thermostat.
Excalibur 9 Tray 3926TB Food Dehydrator
- The thermostat and timing controls are two features that are a must for anyone who is serious about dehydrating.
- Great design.....thermostat...timer....fan in the back.....all the things you need to do it right and do it easily.
- The thermostat control is, in my opinion, where the the real benefit is.
- The timer is also nice, especially when you'd rather continue to sleep at 3am instead of get up and turn the dehydrator off.
- The timer is the cheapest possible variety these people could possibly put on this unit
- I received this product in a very timely manner. However the timer was broken. I did not discover this until the first use.

What customers say about "Control"
Excalibur 3900B Deluxe Dehydrator
- Trays are easy to use and reasonably well-supported; good mesh covering for the trays; good temperature control.
- This is a great dehydrator for drying food, making yogurt, and anything else where you need a controlled temperature.
- In this one you have a temperature control and also a fan in the back.
- It is great! The variable temperature control, removable trays.
- I like that you can control the height of the trays.
Excalibur 9 Tray 3926TB Food Dehydrator
- This dryer is so much easier to use than the ones I've been using. Temperature control! I haven"t had that before and I love it!
- Controls were easy to use.
- I really like the dual controls of the temperature control as well as the timed timer. Very worth it in my opinion.
- I love the control over the temperature and the time and that it turns itself off at the end of the set time.
- The only thing I don't like is the analog temperature controller. It has the degrees and recommendations posted, but I found it to be off by around ten degrees.
- This works well but the control panel is surprisingly very poorly printed. The printed instructions are ambiguous, contrary and very confusing.

What customers say about "Features"
Excalibur 3900B Deluxe Dehydrator
- It's sturdy, works well, and is quieter than I expected it to be.
- Easy to use and clean and makes great food!
- This 9 tray rectangle one is great plus the shelves/racks are lined with a fine easy to clean mesh.
- Easy to use and a great investment that will very soon pay for itself.
- This is a great dehydrator! I use mine all summer for peaches, tomatoes, apricots.
Excalibur 9 Tray 3926TB Food Dehydrator
- The auto-shut off functionality is great.
- I can put the food on and leave for work or play - the machine shuts off automatically when the timer is done.
- The trays can go in the top drawer of the dishwasher, its easy to clean.
- The timer is a great feature. Set it and go to bed. It shuts off automatically and your drying is done.
- Sure, the shelves are bpa free, but the rest of the inside structure I found out isn't.
- The element starts to heat up then after about ten seconds, shuts off.
