Title: Adding mine to the pile
Product review: I received this dehydrator as a Christmas gift last year, and I have used it here and there for jerky, drying peppers and herbs. It's been ok. Yes, it took FOREVER to dry anything, but the trays had yet to crack and melt. Notice I use the past tense.Left the unit on last night to dry some cayennes, but it was cold when I woke up. I wasn't able to get the coil to heat up again, double-checked the plug, etc. When I took a very close look at the heating element, I could see that it was broken...the ceramic around the connection between wire and coil was shattered. Dud.Lasting less than a year with fairly light usage is pretty pathetic. I'm not going to bother with Ronco's warranty, based on what I see here. I would rather get a new, better placement from a more reliable brand and forget this Ronco disappointment ever happened.
