I love my Excalibur, too. It produces a superior product to my previous 4 cheap ones that quickly burned out. Watch e-Bay for less-expensive used models.

If e-Bay is not a route for you, check the American Harvest dehydrators at Walmart. At least, they used to be there. The folks at food-preserving@yahoogroups.com seemed to rate them second after Excalibur.
