The capacious dryer is designed for 11 liters and is equipped with 4 trays made of opaque plastic, 30 cm in diameter. In appearance, this is a common technique without remarkable details and features, but users appreciated the quality, reliability, appearance and safety of the device (there is protection against overheating, and users claim that it works).

The power of the device is 520 W, which is slightly higher than in similar low-cost models. The first thing that captivates the user is the country of production, which is Poland, and it is trusted more than China.

Good quality trays

The main disadvantage of plastic trays is fragility, but not in this case; plastic parts from Zelmer are really durable and high-quality, they do not have an unpleasant smell. The manufacturer officially allows pallets to be washed in the dishwasher. By the way, the convenience of this model is that it is foldable and when folded takes up very little space. Still, 4 trays are not enough for such a capacity, but given the size of the pallets and the dryer itself, most likely, these are vain complaints.

Manage in 2 clicks

Mechanics is the basis of this device. Many users find mechanical control to be the most convenient and reliable. There is no display or touch switches on the front, but there are 2 green backlit buttons. The first button starts the device and maintains the temperature at half the maximum level. The second button starts the maximum temperature.

The device heats up to a temperature in the range of 42-60°C.

Device: simple and clear

The electrical part is designed in such a way that the liquid that can come out of especially juicy fruits or berries will not flood the electric motor and other components. Another positive point is the power cord, as long as 1.5 metres. On the legs of the dryer there are special anti-vibration rubberized pads that protect against slipping and excessive noise. Unfortunately, there are often reviews on the network about device breakdowns in the first months of use, although this does not always depend on the manufacturer, but more often on compliance with the operating rules.

It is important to know! The owners of the device willingly share information about the real time that the device spends on drying. So, pears and apples need from 10 to 24 hours, plums are dried for about 48 hours, honey mushrooms — 6 hours, and strawberries from 12 to 15 hours.
