Does anyone have one and can recommend a brand or somethin to look out for?

I got no idea, but I’ve warned MrM this is next on my shopping list

I have the sunbeam 5 tray one, had it for a couple years and no probs at all. I’m drying apricot leather in it at the moment. I’ve dried banana chips and herbs and apple slices ect.

you might be better off spending a bit more on a machine that can take the rolls of plastic as they will be cheaper and more versatile than ready made bags.

HP my sister has one and she reuses her bags all the time. Maybe it varies with the brands.
