Got a bunch of cherries coming and the garden is growing.
Suggestions on what one to get or anything dehydrate related.

I bought a new one for cherries and if you can figure out how to get them to not stick to the grates it will make the process much easier. I cut them in half and they always stick bad.
Dried home grown cherries are the bomb though and worth the effort.

It depends on how much you are going to use it, if it's just once a year or quite a bit.:yeah:

I haven’t done cherries yet but I have a problem with stuff sticking pretty often. I’m definitely a novice at this though. I got a MEAT! 10 tray and it seems really nice and I like it. Little big for how much I’ve used it though. Would rather have a freeze dryer I think but those are spendy.

You could probably find one at a thrift store or used on line for $20

Wouldn't a little spritz of PAM or the like on the grates help alleviate that?
I have the Cabelas one pictured above, I do a big batch of jerky about every 2 months and it does a decent job. I dried apples last fall in it and it dried them very well and fast.

Her dad got us a Cuisinart airfryer/toaster oven/dehydrator combo last year and its nice but the Meat brand seems to hit lower temps with better air flow.

I have an Excalibur dehydrator and it has been great for about 7 years now. I highly recommend it, and it is on sale on Amazon right now. Not the cheapest thing out there, but it does a good job. You only need a timer if you might be doing jerky and need it to turn off while your out or sleeping.

Ditto on the Excalibur. I love mine.
