My old Nesco had temp controls from 95 to 135 degrees. I liked the 95 degree setting for drying delicate herbs. What range does the FD 1018 have?

This Nesco has temps controls of 95 to 160 degrees. My wife uses it for drying herbs too on dill, oregano, basil, rosemary to name a few. Does a great job on fruit and peppers as well. I have NOT measured the actual temperature output and am assuming the controls are pretty close to what they say.

I never use it much below 125 but it has a range from 95 to 160 I have used it for quite a few years now mostly for jerky & bananas I buy y bananas when Wal-Mart or Fred Myers is about to pull them at a ral good price by knowing the vegetable service person. I would guess mine has well over a 1000 hours with all of the trays plus sometimes a few exrras I purchased to get as many as 12 trays at one time and it does a very even job top to bottom. http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-American-Harvest-FD-1018P-Dehydrator/dp/B001795P4O Harold from Grants Pass, OR

I bought mine solely for cheese aging, and it works GREAT. Constant 54-55 degrees, average relative humidity (I have a weather station monitor inside it for reference) is between 70%-75%. Putting a pan of water in the bottom with some type of wick (towel, humidifier wick) adds about 2-3% to that. Had to purchase wooden cutting boards to place on the wire racks, since the racks tend to cut into my wheels, and eventually have removed all but the bottom most rack (I have a LOT of cheese).

Don't know for yours, but no detectable problem for my in-the-canal Reveals. I haven't measured the temperature, but I would be surprised if it was higher than 102F, because my hearing aids are just a little warm to the touch if I handle them right after the dryer shuts off.

I honestly don't know. You may want to go to Nesco's web site and research it there or send them an email..

I don't know. It is set with numbers which I think starts at 125. I never needed precise temps for the veggies and fruits which is all I ever used it for.

It doesn't have a temperature adjustment on it, but I think it gets up to like 110 degrees. It was a little low for what I was dehydrating and it took forever and made the trays brittle. But it would be perfect for herbs or fruit leathers, certainly nothing thicker than 1/4 inch. It's super basic, if you're looking to start dehydrating every weekend get something a little more sturdy, if you want to experiment but are nervous this is the way to go. It's hard to screw up when there's nothing to adjust.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

The setpoint range is -30 to 212°F (-34 to 100°C). here is manufacture's website for this controller- http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/us/en/products/building_efficiency/products-and-systems/commercial-refrigeration/commercial_refrigeration/temperature/electronic2/a419singlestage.html

The grid in the shelf is slightly more than 1/4 inch squares..... I don't have any problems with that. You do need to get a thermometer. I bought it on line. the temperature control is low to night. You do have to watch the thermometer but you soon learn where to set it for different things. The instruction on the dehydrator show 95 for herbs and for jerky 185. Hope that helps. I really love this dehydrator. I had a cheap plastic one before. And when I started looking I really wanted stainless steel.

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I use my thermostat to control the cooling range on an iceless cooler. Fiddling with the thermostat I have noted that it can go as low as minus 58 to well over 200 degrees F. The temperature settings are manually set.

DryWave does not work above 65 degrees. This was made for the state of Washington to raise a due point. I live in Florida. I wanted to use it in the bildge of my boat to keep Diesel Engines and equipment dry. I contacted the co. to learn that I had bought the wrong heater. I fixed it by taking out the thermostat. Works fine now. The co. should have been more direct in advertising this product. Shame on them.

I don't know how scientific this is but using my Ray-Tek MiniTemp Laser and waiting 10 minutes for the WARM setting to stabilize, I checked the surface temperature at various places on the griddle as soon as the light went OUT. As high as 220 near the probe (SW) to 215 NW corner to 216 NE corner to 210 SE corner to 198 in the middle. Again, this is NOT very scientific but it should give you some idea.

We have it in the basement where it gets down to 50 degrees. We have never had problems with it icing up.Absolutely love this unit. It does an amazing job even in the very humid climate we live in.

The lowest numbered setting on the control is 200F. The only setting other than those that specify temperature is one that would be cooler but is just indicated as "WARM". (If you want to believe the adjustment is linear, then from the spacing between the 200F dot and the 250F dot, you could conclude that the WARM dot would give you 150F. I would not suggest that you assume that. I think they would have labeled that dot 150F if they expected that to be true.)

The only settings on the cord are: Warm, 270, 320, 370, 420. It does not indicate any other temperatures. My guess would be "no", it won't go down to 150. I usually use the 270 setting on this when I would have used 350 on my old griddle. The numbers do not seem accurate at all.

It doesn't matter. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM. Buy the NESCO brand. The Waring Pro: I've had someone replace the fuse, which is located in a difficult spot and then the motor went out. I had it a little over 6 months, for my classroom. It made me sick, because I had purchased extra shelves. It has a high/Lo. The Nesco has a dial for temperature degrees, depending what you are drying. The Waring is the biggest mistake I have EVER made in an appliance purchase!!!!!
