5 or 9 tray dehydrators???

I am thinking of getting a dehydrator and was wondering what peoples thought on the size I should get. I keep hearing that you should just get the larger one but it is quite a bit more (more than I could afford right now) and was wondering how much of a difference there was?

It would be for just me

HI
If its just for you,the 5 tray is fine.
I have the 5 tray and I can dry up to 8-10 squashes at a time in it.

I have the 9 tray and it takes alot to fill it. I often use less than 9 trays, usually do not make enough to fill all nine trays. The nine tray dehydrator is massive, so take that into consideration when purchasing as well.

well i like the 9 tray .. cuz i dont have to use all 9 trays if I dont want too .. if i had a smaller one id have to make more batches

but if price is an issue for you then go with what you feel is the best solution smiling smiley

I always end up with 7 to 7.5 trays worth of stuff. The five would have been too small for me and the 9 is just a tad too big. I don't really eat dehydrated things but my partner and my son do. I get too thirsty after to really eat stuff like that. I have used it to get the chill off of some of the things I prepare. A 5 tary would be good for that. Maybe even a toaster oven set to 100 degrees.
