Will order againMy dehydrator is quite old, so I was very glad to find replacement trays that fit. I wasn't pleased to only find them in gray, instead of the white the machine came with, especially since the description listed them as white and then as gray. Very confusing. I was able to find mats and rollup sheets as well but again they are a darker color than the original that came with the machine. I think the manufacturer needs to do a better job of identifying what products their accessories will fit as I had to spend a lot of time trying to identify which trays and liners would work for my dehydrator.Stacked right on the original without any problem. Nice to have a couple more trays!I bought two sets. These fit my REALLY old American Harvest Snack Master (came with only two but can handle up to 12!). (Pic #1 Grayish are new)They seem to bow/crown in the center a little (Pic #2). Works fine for all solids, but may be a problem when I try more fluid items like fruits for roll ups, etc. It seems like it will flow to outside edge of the circle too much so -1 star for shape. Washed up great stacked in bottom of the dishwasher.My Nesco dehydrator is a basic model and not very old, maybe 5 or 6 years. We have a small orchard so it's made a lot of apple chips, reliably and aromatically. With more trees come more apples so a couple more trays were easy to justify. But these are very disappointing and suggestive of a company looking to reduce cost without regard for the goodwill they've built over the years.These trays fit but not snugly. They are molded of thinner plastic and warped after the first use. I doubt they'll ever again provide a truly flat surface. The original trays have a lip around the inner hole that helped them stack securely and limit bits of fruit or jerky dripping down to the base. That lip is gone. I imagine eliminating it greatly reduced the molding cost but with a big compromise in functionality.These trays will be used and our apple chips will be as good as ever. But each time I wash these trays, anxious that the thin plastic might break, I'll be thinking about the dehydrator I'll buy if the Nesco gives out and wondering what other brand it will be. Only because Nesco chose to save a few pennies on the cost of trays.My Nesco is at least 10 years old and still works well. One tray broke so I purchased these. They are not as nice quality as either the originals trays or the additional trays I purchased years ago.. . . more flimsy. The trays stack ok but the part for laying the food is uneven (high and low spots) which could be a problem if making things that need to lie flat to stay an even thickness as with fruit leathers. These also lack the "crown" around the center hole which gives added stability. These should work for most foods but better quality would have been nice.Needed to replace trays for my dehydrator. These fit. There is no lip around the hole so i had to watch when I was making the fruit roll upsThese add-on trays certainly fit and do the job, but do have some interior warping that is not present in the original trays that came with the dehydrator.Warping of the interior web makes these trays cosmetically-challenged, but did not affect stacking with other trays, or arranging of food on them. The webs are light enough that the weight of the food flattened them out (only) while the dehydrator was in use.No functional impact. Would buy again.These are as close as I can find for my FD-77DT model, but they only fit upside-down in my dehydrator. Makes for a couple of uneven gaps between the factory trays and these aftermarket ones.I have had the Nesco dehydrator for about 10 years and wanted a couple more layers, as I use it to dry a few different things, including sqeet potato slices for dig treats.I have been very happy with my unit, and these are the identical trays to the ones that are on my unit.The trays did not fit properly onto the ones I purchased first , there was a note that said they would fit together . The dehydrator is not more than 2 years old .there is a gap of 1/4 inch between the old and newThese trays are not exactly like the trays I got with the dehydrator but they fit just fine and work really well. I also bought silicone mats to go on them and that keeps them from getting sticky stuff on them because all of these plastic trays are a bit flimsy - even the ones that come with the dehydrator.
