This is a great product and works very well. **Q: Is it still made in the usa?????????** A: Yes made in the USA. **Q: Is the top open in the middle? wanted to make sure i wasn't missing a piece. i've used friend's nescos and excalibers and both were closed. thanks!** A: Yes. Every tray and the top has a hole in the middle. That is where the air escapes from. **Q: how much does it cost to run?** A: It is correct that is is a 1000 Watt device, and electricity here in Central Wisconsin is 11.5 cents/kilowatt hour. So if it was running full-tilt for one hour that would be 11.5 cents. BUT, this is thermostatically controlled and the temperatures are variable from, what? 95 degrees to 145 or something like that? And you can expand the number of trays up to 30 from the 8 you are provided and you don't need to use all 8 trays. So the answer is that your mileage will vary. A lot. But the worst it could possibly be running it for 24 hours with a bunch of trays full-tilt would be $2.76. Only way to know for sure is to use it and connect it to a Kill-A-Watt or some similar meter and record how much power it actually used. ## Frequently Bought Together - NESCO Gardenmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, 8 Trays, White - Nesco TR-2 White Plastic Round 15 1/2" Add-A-Trays to fit NESCO 1000 Series Food Dehydrators 2 Pack - Blulu 8 Pieces Round Silicone Dehydrator Sheets, Non-stick Fruit Dehydrator Mats, Reusable Steamer Mat Mesh Sheet for Fruit Dryer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://chile.desertcart.com/products/5564459-fd-1018a](https://chile.desertcart.com/products/5564459-fd-1018a) --- *Product available on Desertcart Chile* *Store origin: CL* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
