I really think that the fact that dehydrators use more electricity is mis-information. I keep two of them going almost all summer and don't notice any difference in the bill. They only heat to about 145 or so and they use about the same as a small lightbulb to heat and a small fan. Go to http://www.excaliburdehydrators.com
I'm not plugging this site. Its just where I got my dehydrators from and am really happy with them. The site has a lot of good recipes and know-how there.
