Detailed specifications

The weight

Having around 13 pounds of weight means that once you place it somewhere in your kitchen – you won’t be able to move it around too often. As you increase the number of trays with foods it gains more weight so you best plan ahead first before setting it up.

The dimensions

With 18 x 13 x 15 in inches in its default 6 tray configuration does affect the amount of space that it requires. It is a fair tradeoff given the amazing volume capacity it offers.

Visibility

Unlike most of the other models on the market, you will not be able to glance at your foods when it is inside this L’Equip dehydrator. The top cover is made out of solid plastic for better airflow which in turn also hides the inside space completely.

Temperature range

Promising solid state variable temperature control actually means that you will have a constant usable range from as low as 95 and just up to 158°F. Sure it’s not among the best in the class yet we think that it will cover most of the user requirements. This is a home intended appliance after all.

The timer

The digital timer is easy to adjust and manage since you can easily read all of the changes on the onboard display.

The trays

You get plenty of trays and accessories for the price. There are 6 drying trays and two of those are extra deep with a generous 1.2 square feet of capacity. Additionally, there are also 6 mesh screens and 2 fruit leather trays and even 4 separate yogurt cups. In our opinion, you get plenty of useful accessories for the price.

FILTER PRO FEATURE

This is definitely something you almost only get on premium models. There is an included FilterPro air system that keeps air contaminants getting onto the drying food on the inside. This ensures that your fruit, vegetables, meats or yogurt stays clean from pollutants and small unwanted particles like dust and dirt.

Things We Liked

Glancing at the L’Equip you really cannot guess the amount of clever features and performance you get with it. Here are the best ones from the long spec sheet.

Expandable

Who doesn’t like to do more for the least amount of time? This model is easy to adapt in case you either need more or less inner volume capacity for different foods dehydration. Being able to offer a whopping 15 tray set-up makes it exceptionally efficient.

Amazing For the Price

L’Equip FilterPro proves that you can cram so many features into an affordable price range without sacrificing quality. Amazing specifications will be very useful for any type of usage scenarios and you do get a lot of performance for the money spent.

Feature Packed

After spending time reviewing and using L’Equip we found that it completes everything our household needs and really helps for drying lots of foods for our long term storage requirements.

Stylish Design

Looks are not everyone’s top priority for this kind of appliance yet we find it’s design to be refreshing and overall makes it fit any type of kitchen.

Things We Didn’t Like

Offering so much would make it an almost perfect choice if it weren’t for some minor faults that we happened to discover during extended use.

Drying Efficiency

Having a lower power motor is great for saving on electricity bills yet it doesn’t work well when you use all of the 15 trays filled to the brim. We appreciate the quiet fan although it doesn’t manage to distribute the airflow in an ideal manner.

Long Processing Time

It takes more time to dry foods than some of the competing models on the market. We feel that this is because of the inclusion of the particle filter although it is a necessary trade-off if you want to keep everything free from contaminants.

Difficult to Clean

The trays themselves feature design to enable optimal airflow which makes them a bit difficult to clean. This is especially true when drying foods that tend leave a sticky residue.
