I am thinking of buying a food drier, ideal snack for athletes! Are they worth it or just a fad that quickly loses it appeal, any advice appreciated!

depends. during my tramping days i used it heaps, made all the meals and fruit and leathers for several days away.
Not so much lately as the power consumption is quite high. But if you have free apples etc then its worth while. They also hold their value and easy to sell on TM later on.

Yes. They are worth it. I am lucky my friendly neighbour lets me borrow hers. You can use oven on lowest setting too. My kids including toddler love jerky, fruit leathers, dried fruit (blueberries are their fav atm).herbs verge crisp (we do beetroot, carrots, parsing and sweet potato) .

Use mine all the time.have it going today drying feijoas.
Would suggest you don't waste your money on a Sunbeam.okay for doing herbs or flowers not heavy duty stuff.
I have a Harvest Maid.brilliant.if you plan on doing a lot with it.well worth the investment.
