Metal or plastic tray?

The tray is plastic but seems to be pretty strong. Guess it would depend upon the size and weight of the animal to determine if it would be strong enough. I use mine for cats.

It's a thick plastic tray. We had a crate that had a metal tray and even with the dog bed inside, it rattled every time the dug moved. Very noisy and we returned it and got this one.

Plastic. I was worried it seem not so sturdy. But it is worked out just fine. However, my dog is just 70 pounds. We really don't use it anymore but he goes in to sleep sometimes on his own

It is for a bathroom shower. I did not need the metal I just needed something that size for the whole I would have. As it turns out it was the same thing I had my plastic tray was broken so I only needed that.

The trays are stainless steel. The food doesn't absorb any metallic taste. The thermometer is adjustable. My husband does a lot of dehydrating and jerky making and really likes the unit.

The tray in mine is plastic. I have ran it through thr dishwasher many times and it cleans up great. Only the dome and the cooking surface that holds the water are stainless steel. B/c the cooking surface is stainless, it's easy to clean if you break an egg and it will get dirty over time. Just spray with vinegar, let it soak a minute and it wipes clean with little scrubbing.

Plastic. I doubt you can find metal knobs. These worked well for me. Look nice

Plastic - I put my 100 pound great white pyranese in there with no issues at all!

I don't know. I have never had any problem with the tray so I haven't looked for one.

The solid plastic tray is, not the wire part. The sides collapse down to the bottom for storage. (The perch and dishes need to be removed, of course.) There is a clip at the bottom to hold it together.

not absolutely sure...but they are a silicone, flexible material, not a hard plastic tray.

The dehydrator and trays are stainless steel - no plastic at all. The door is a polycarbonate, which is a form of plastic, however I don't see a possible scenario where your food would touch the door. :) Enjoy your dehydrator!

I agree with Steve Oxford. The regular tray that comes ready to set up is white plastic; however, the spare tray does have a clear plastic lid.

I use plastic, my understanding is no metal. in the demonstration on line, a plastic knife is being used to mix the ingredients.

Tray feeder that is not motorized like in a desktop. Push the button and it pops open then push the tray closed. Over the long haul, a bit of care in using this DVD will give the plastic a long life. It is plastic quality matched to the price point which, suited our usage requirements.

Yes we have a layer of aluminum foil at the bottom of the tray. Just keep it away from the heat elements. Which is not a problem normally.hope that makes sense.

There are both. I think it came with a white plastic but metal ones can be ordered.

The transparent tray is the preferrwed one in my opinion. It is easy to attach and remove and is much larger. The white tray requires an additional part to install it and is much smaller. I am returning the white one and will order the transparent tray.
