Brod & Taylor Sahara – DR-720 Folding Dehydrator

The World’s First Folding Dehydrator The Sahara™ Folding DehydratorEditors note: We have sold tens of thousands of premium dehydrators within the EU and UK market.  Every single one has its pros and cons and had something that distinguished it from the rest.  The SAHARA dehydrator is decades ahead of competition using state of the art temperature sensors, controllers, heating elements, air re-flow technology, eco-saving technology and extremely robust state of the art electrical controllers.  Brod & Taylor involved us in the very long design process to incorporate decades of our sales and after-sales knowledge into the SAHARA folding dehydrator to make it the best dehydrator we could image.  It is by far the best dehydrator we’ve ever seen and simply blows everything else away.  On top of the huge leap in technology used, the SAHARA is also foldable!  Some might be worried this is ‘one more thing that can break’ but rest assured, we’ve crash tested this dehydrator in ways you won’t even believe. We’ve had it run it for months at highest temperature, turned it off and on again during the dehydration process thousands of times and folded the mechanisms hundreds of thousands of times.  At trade shows when people said they were worried something might break in the folding process, we smashed the unit shut in front of their eyes with huge force to jaw-dropping surprise.  We manhandled this dehydrator to such an extent that we decided to start launching speed competitions on how fast people can assemble (record: 6.42 seconds) and disassemble (record: 4.33 seconds) the dehydrator.  When fully assembled, the SAHARA dehydrator feels even more robust than pretty much any dehydrator on the market, and when folded, it is so extremely easy to carry and store.  It is hands down the number one dehydrator.  Feel free to give us a call if you wish to learn how it compares to any specific dehydrator you might want to compare it to.The SAHARA Folding Dehydrator delivers the ultimate combination of performance and convenience to dry and preserve your favourite foods.
