Hello There, I have as a snack like some fruit. Is healthier and breastfeeding the small hunger. Now you can great dried products may purchase but at what price? 25 grams unbranded Apfelringe for 1.40 ??? 200 grams for 10 euros in the Real? And that's not a product where you get really cheaper on the net. Shipping costs are added and if you do not just buy ne extremely large amount of it is just plain expensive. This compares to the electricity consumption at its own production. So 700W à X hours / 1000 * kilowatt price. Power with 8 hours of use for super-dust-dry dried fruit (I like it) and a KW-price of eg 30 cents / kilowatt hour so 1.68. But then you have 4 layers of dried fruit and not 25 grams as the store. The 200 grams you get safely together. Even if you have to buy the apples for 1-2 euros which is still far below the 10 euros for 200 grams. In addition, you are sure that nothing is added to what you do not want to have it. Short it is worth. The unit is not noisy and gives off a pleasant scent. The cleaning is really easy. Water and wipe over it again and is good. A purchase is worth it especially because prices for dried fruit are just outrageous. I also like that you can buy more for another 2 floors for a good price. Thus, one can use the same power more fruit. Unfortunately I have not yet found this experience. The pity is that you always have to wager a minimum of 4 floors, otherwise the essay not on it goes. For this purpose, subtract a star I think this is wrong, because then you just a little more produced and the final product's shelf life. Top product for a good price on Amazon. I hope that the long-term test is also so good. Have fun with it. Oliver
