Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this dehydrator sort of like many people did: after reading the things you can do with it, I got all excited, thinking, "I'm going to dehydrate EVERYTHING and it's going to be amazing!!!" So far, I've used the dehydrator to make a couple of batches of each of: - Apple chips (thin apple slices soaked for a few hours in a combo of lemon juice and cranberry juice, then dried). - beef jerky (this dehydrator comes with a starter park for jerky, plus I made my own marinade the next time). - chicken jerky. - bacon bits (the ends and "bad cuts" of my own home-cured, smoked bacon, finely chopped, cooked, and then dehydrated. The temperature can be dialed in from 95ºF to 160ºF as printed on the top (remember that problem I mentioned? Well, I have tested the actual running temperature of the dehydrator against the printed values on the dial, and they're not even close. I used several methods to determine the temperature: 1) A Mastercool Digital Infrared Thermometer pointed directly into an exhaust vent (see photo) with the dial set to the maximum 160ºF. 4) A digital metal probe thermometer (Lavatools Thermowand) inserted into both the upper and lower exhaust ports. In all cases (except #3, which responded too slowly) I was able to see the lower temperature at which the heater kicked on, as well as the upper temperature at which the heater turned off (in theory, this would be right around the number printed on the dial). - At the 135ºF setting on the dehydrator, the actual temperature maxed out at around 120ºF, at which point the heater turned off and the temperature dropped slowly until the heater came back on. - At the 160ºF setting (maximum), it was the same story but with an actual temperature topping out at around 135ºF. What concerns me is this unit's suitability for jerky -- the minimum recommended temperature for any meat is 160ºF when making jerky. I'm not too terribly concerned about the beef jerky because I routinely eat beef at a much lower temperature than that (though it does make a good case for refrigerating the jerky in this case), but the chicken jerky could have gone pretty badly!"
"The 3rd reason I love this dehydrator is simple, it produces the best tasting dehydrated foods I've ever had, I'm and avid outdoorsman and have dehydrated everything from deer to turkey, family friends insist I start selling the jerky made with this product. With all that being said, if you have a dehydrator that is getting old/malfunctioning or just want to start making your own dehydrated foods, this product is for you, don't pass this one up, you will not be dissatisfied with your purchase."
"First, lets talk about performance: Only in a few ocasions I could dry something with less than 12 hours using a moderate temperature and thin slices. But a 4,5 or 4,7 stars would be more fair, since this dehydrator has a lot of good points and we live in a very humid area, in the sea coast. I think if you are willing to put some peppers in a dehydrator, you should use very low temperatures, those used to dry herbs and other fragile stuff. I can not believe some people say this dehydrator makes some undesirable noise to the point that they need to put them in a room far from their bedroom otherwise they couldn't sleep! The gray and white marble finish fits incredibly well in any room, like it's camouflaged, hard to explain. Dehydrated fruits leave virtually no residue, they stick very lightly to the trays and can be easily pulled out. Not a single banana or any other fruit like apples got stuck in the trays to the point that they couldnt be removed easily with the fingers, and entire, not in fragments. (Room temperature: 28 Celsius) With 9 trays full of fruits: 1st hour: 650 Watts (average). Explanation: the first hours take more power because the machine is heating the trays so the thermostat rarely turns off. After a few hours, the thermostat only activates ocasionally to refresh the temperature, since the trays are already heated and only need a maintenance to keep the warm air flow. When the electric resistance turns off, the measure of wattage reads 28 watts, that's the power consumption of the fan (negligible). I will update this review if anything unexpected occurs, or if I have any important thing to add, like new food experiences, et cetera. To finish this review, I'd like to apologize for my awful English, I had a hard time writting this because I am not a native speaker, so tell me if something sounds odd or particularly unusual, I can clarify your questions in the comments section."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Below is a picture of the older came show model with a separate vacuum bag roll storage and cutter. One problem with the older unit was that it would not allow you to heat seal the bags closed until it achieved a very thorough removal of all of the air. Again the newer model allows me to seal the bags to achieve a tight shrink wrap but without making a mess. I recycled some plastic take-out Chinese containers, filled them with some delicious bean and bacon soup that my wife made today. I bagged several helpings of soup and with the concavity achieved by the plastic containers they stack perfectly in my freezer."
"I thought having the control panel on top would be a good thing (in use it doesn't really make a difference), and I found the brushed stainless steel chassis wrap attractive... neither affects the function of the sealer, and a buyer can get the same functionality and save $30 by purchasing the 4440. Automated sealing works well, and the amount of vacuum can be controlled from the panel for fragile items or partial vacuum sealing. The attached hose unit is used for sealing vacuum zipper bags or vacuum sealing jars or drawing a vacuum in a marinating dish. I found that 2 1/2 inches from the edge to the contents in the bag results in a reliable seal. After 10 or so days, I have used the first beans, and replenish the containers from the freezer, maintaining FRESH ground coffee for a couple of months."
One 11 x10 inches vacuum seal roll; three 1-quart vacuum seal bags; two 1-gallon vacuum seal bags; three 1-quart vacuum zipper bags and two 1-gallon zipper bags.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Opened forgotten jars of spaghetti sauce find there way to the garbage pail out of fear of a foodborne illness. I reuse the 8" bags by cutting close to the seal, washing the bags out with Dawn dish detergent and re using the bags for smaller Items like spaghetti sauce cubes. However it works fine and can be worked gently back into the cabinet. It didn't stop me from using the wide and regular mouth Ball jar vacuum attachments ( use a second lid over the first for easy release) and the marinator worked fine."
"When you want to seal the bag you just hit the seal button and put the bag in and it automatically senses the bag and seals it the red light will go off when the bag is sealed."
"The removable tray makes it much easier to keep clean and the switch that allows me to change the seal for either dry or wet food is extremely nice to have. It automatically senses the bag in the slot to be sealed and makes a nice wide seal on the bag (approx. I used to place a double seal on the bag to ensure there wouldn't be leakage of air into the bag especially with moist foods like meat."
"However, if any more than half a teaspoons worth of liquid is vacuumed, it doesn't seal the bags properly and air seeps back in (I found this out the hard way -->). Minus learning about the liquid part, and having to either overfeed my dog, or throw out fresh food."
"The newer one does the job and holds the sealant plastic roll, but probably takes twice the time to finish one suck n seal compared to the older model."

I have been able to jump start 13.0L Navistar diesel engines with ease, something I thought wasn't possible from a battery pack of this size. I love being able to use a cigarette lighter 12V charger on my work truck to charge the battery."
"They are larger to store, have distance limitations, have the possibility or crossing the connection, and are a pain to fold back into their undersized pouch. I like the features that don't allow you to reverse the polarity on the clamps, as well as the ability to recharge anything via two USB ports."
"Whenever a car battery (or any rechargeable battery) drops below a critical open circuit (no load) voltage (for 12 volt batteries this would be around 11 volts) internal damage begins and if one has a vehicle which drains a battery below this critical voltage (called a parasitic draw) you lose capacity every time a (what i call a destructive discharge) occurs. Under these conditions even a new battery may only last a few months and this applies to any type rechargeable battery Current rechargeable Lithium batteries would fail in one destructive discharge if protective circuits did not shut them off soon enough."
"Heading back from Columbus to Cincinnati I pull off the highway to get a drink from a gas station and someone has their hood up and I hear the guy helping them say, "Man, I just lent my cables out to a friend."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I however removed it from the drive shaft and line bushing and replaced with Penn reel oil. Non-sealed saltwater reels should be easy to take apart and put back together because if you dunk one that is what you will be doing. The screws don’t get boogered up with standard screwdrivers and are easy to take off. However, Penn departed from their easy to service design philosophy on the roller bearing and anti-reverse switch. Penn really dropped the ball IMO on the design of the roller bearing assembly and anti reverse switch. This extra hole goes uncovered and is an entry point for saltwater to get under the rotor. I like this better than a pin type handle that you insert into the reel and screw down with a retaining cap on the other side of the body. I personally think bearings on the line roller and handle are a sales gimmick with no advantage in a small reel. However, if you are going to service and repair your reels yourself, can live without the anti-reverse switch and don’t mind a little more weight, I would get the 3000."
"I purchased 2 of these to replace some older reels on their last leg. My Penn Sargus 3000 has lasted over 6 years and has been a solid performer, caught tons of fish but it too is on it's last leg so I got 2 battle II 3000 and one 4000 to compliment my arsenal."

Speaking of fishing, nothing is more relaxing than casting a fly rod, while you've never been more exilerated until you've caught a big fish on a fly rod."
"I'm a beginning fly fisher, and I was a bit nervous about learning."
"Got this for my husband for Christmas."
"Great Fly Rod for beginners who are just now learning the fundamentals of fly fishing."
"I purchased this with the hope that it would get me by, and I can say that this rod will do more than that."
"For the price, this is the best rod/reel I've found....much better than Redington comp."
"It's a pretty good rod for the price."
"Nice action, as well."

I have been able to jump start 13.0L Navistar diesel engines with ease, something I thought wasn't possible from a battery pack of this size. I love being able to use a cigarette lighter 12V charger on my work truck to charge the battery."
"They are larger to store, have distance limitations, have the possibility or crossing the connection, and are a pain to fold back into their undersized pouch. I like the features that don't allow you to reverse the polarity on the clamps, as well as the ability to recharge anything via two USB ports."
"Whenever a car battery (or any rechargeable battery) drops below a critical open circuit (no load) voltage (for 12 volt batteries this would be around 11 volts) internal damage begins and if one has a vehicle which drains a battery below this critical voltage (called a parasitic draw) you lose capacity every time a (what i call a destructive discharge) occurs. Under these conditions even a new battery may only last a few months and this applies to any type rechargeable battery Current rechargeable Lithium batteries would fail in one destructive discharge if protective circuits did not shut them off soon enough."
"Heading back from Columbus to Cincinnati I pull off the highway to get a drink from a gas station and someone has their hood up and I hear the guy helping them say, "Man, I just lent my cables out to a friend." Update: 03/23/2017 I bought a Land Cruiser for winter time driving and maybe some off-road adventure so I bought a second one of these bad boys for that vehicle."

"My biggest issue with them are that they are difficult to unlatch and open."
"I love everything about these split ting pliers."
"Bottom line- these are not stainless steel or they are such poor quality that the stainless steel rusted after the first use."
"As others have noted, these pliers are so cheap that comparing them to more expensive pliers becomes an unfair comparison, but there is a time when cheap is too cheap, and these hit that mark. The colored plastic grips measure exactly 3" long, and that is way too small for my average sized male hands; I can only get 3 of my 4 fingers on the grip and the pointy butt end of the other grip lands midway down the meaty base of my thumb -- not pleasant to use at all whilst sitting at my desk, never mind whilst actually using them with some force."
"When I got these I expected better first of all it didn't bring the case I was promised and second these are smaller than I thought and last they don't seem that durable If you were to squeeze them slightly you could feel it kind of bending."
"Garbage and so flimsy they are useless."
