Dehydrator

I have been wanting a dehydrator for a while now. But my brother keeps telling me to make sure I get a really good one. Not really sure what a good one is really.
Yeah, that's probably the newer version of mine
I want something more like this...
That would be cool, but for as many gadgets I get that go unused after a few months....
I want to make a mess of zucchini chips. The trouble is even if I get the oven method down, a "batch" of two cookie sheets is hardly a bowlful. I'm thinking if I can just put them in and forget it, I could make a batch or two a day and build up my supply. I have read you're supposed to rotate the trays on dehydrator every so many hours so I guess you can't just run a batch overnight.

I borrowed my neighbors round 2 tray once to make dried kale. It was nice, but not nice enough to do the low oven temp method.
still want a 9 tray one though. I’d like to do some jerky or biltong and as much as I appreciate alton browns fan and filter set up, i just can’t.

Can you use an instapot?
We have a really large one easy to use.... It is called ARIZONA, we are just one BIG dehydrator, LOL. Seriously though I do want one but as you said just one more gadget

Has anyone tried one of the air frier, dehydrator, convection, all-in-one gadgets? I have been looking at one of these:
Instant Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven 11 in 1, 26L, Rotisserie, Reheat Pizza, XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V3NM8QL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_BFDbGbQZ2XCF5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

That would have a lot less surface space for dehydrating vs something with 3-6 trays.

Agreed, but I liked the multipurpose functionality.
I have a Ninja Foodi - you have to buy the dehydrator rack separately- but I cook with it almost everyday. from what I’ve seen - jerky is fairly easy to make in it -I love it for the versatility- and frying food without all that oil
My Sis-in-Law does a lot of dehydrating and has several (to include a bigger "commercial" type dehydrator) and said that this one is kind of the best of both worlds. Is well powered dehydrator that isn't overly bulky. This is what she currently uses and she is constantly making venison jerky and dried meat dog treats.
Venison jerky is the best!
