Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest Add-A-Tray for FD-50, Set of 2
Customer Review: Not _REALLY_ a fit for a Snackmaster...
Summary: 2 Stars
I've got a Nesco American Harvest Snackmaster, model FD-50. I checked the box before I placed the order because there's two sizes of add-a-trays with two different diameters. And, on cursory examination, it does indeed have the same diameter and so forth. But it doesn't quite fit.
The edges are slightly different and fittings don't quite align. If I put one of these new trays directly on the base unit, they don't actually fit the unit and leave a significant (1/8") gap all around the bottom edge-- something that totally defeats the purpose of the seal that lets the unit circulate enclosed air as it dehydrates. However, if I place one of the original trays (that came with the unit) down first, this fixes the gap at the bottom; if I then put the new trays on top, the weight of at least 2-3 trays will "moosh" the gap between the new trays and the original trays closed (mostly).
It's worth noting that the model pictured on the box doesn't look at all like mine; in the picture the fan/heater unit is on top rather than at the bottom (which doesn't make much sense, as heat _rises_). If your unit has the fan base on the bottom rather than on the top, you may run into the same problem as I. It bears the same model number and the trays appear to be dead ringers, but they're slightly different.
It works grudgingly well enough with my kludging that I'm not returning the product-- I labeled my original trays so that I wouldn't confuse them. Still, given the product specifies my model by name (FD-50), and has the "Nesco American Harvest Snackmaster" name on box (same as my unit), plus given how much they cost, I would expect an actual fit. Especially since these are the pretty much the only trays I've been able to find. All of which is a shame, because my Snackmaster is otherwise one of the best dehydrators on the market.
Caveat emptor!
Description of Nesco American Harvest Add-A-Tray for FD-50, Set of 2
The sky's the limit! Well, not quite, but you don't have to be restricted by the number of drying trays your dehydrator included. These add-a-trays allow you to expand upward and no tray rotation is necessary. How is that possible you ask? The drying pressure adjusts automatically to the number of trays you are using. Various models are expandable to different numbers of trays, please check your owners' guide.Designed for use with the Nesco American Harvest FD-50 Snackmaster dehydrator, this two-tray set is perfect for expanding your dehydration projects. The two extra trays provide an additional five square feet of drying space. You'll be equipped to make enough beef jerky, dried fruit, or fruit rollups for an entire scouting troop. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
