Description

Creating healthy, organic, and nutritious snacks and meals at home is simple with the Sunbeam Food Lab Electronic Dehydrator. This convenient appliance features spacious drawers, electronically controlled temperature settings, and a horizontal airflow system, ensuring even drying without the need for preservatives. It's the perfect choice for those looking to enjoy wholesome, homemade snacks.

Key Features

  • Convenient Food Dehydrator: This Sunbeam machine features an LCD with an auto-off countdown timer, so you know how much time remains in the machine while drying foods. This unit allows you to dehydrate food completely by setting it for up to 19.5 hours in 30-minute intervals.
  • Customisable Temperature: Sunbeam meets all your needs for drying fruits, veggies, and other foods with its 8 electronically controlled temperature settings. It has a heating range of 35-70°C, making it easy to adjust the temperature quickly.
  • Even Drying: Shelf rotation is not necessary with this appliance. This machine keeps the temperature consistent throughout each shelf because of its horizontal airflow so that various types of food placed within are evenly dehydrated.
  • Safe and User-Friendly: With adjustable shelf height and six removable BPA-free drying racks, you can separate your food and dry it without having to put everything on the same rack. It also has a fine food mesh tray and a fruit roll tray.
  • Package Inclusions: The box includes the Sunbeam Food Lab Electronic Dehydrator, 6x Drying Racks, and 1x Fine Food Mesh Tray.

Sunbeam Food Lab Electronic Dehydrator - Black (DT6000) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 298.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sunbeam Dehydrator a winner This machine is really a little beauty, especially for the price. Its relatively quiet and does the job of dehydration very effectively. The only thing annoying about it so far is the alarm that announces the time is up. Its a bit OTT !!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Best Value In Price Range I spent months looking for a dehydrator and unless youre looking to jump up to a commercial one, this is the best value. Take a little longer than the book suggests to get things as dry as I like but much quicker than anything I've tried.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Sunbeam Food Lab Dehydrator Unfortunately I am just about to return this item as from the first use marks have appeared on the door. At first we thought it was condensation from the food inside but sadly, no. Such a pain to have to go through a return situation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great unit, bit noisey I purchased this model as the reviews stated the unit is quiet, I find it rather noisy in our small home! I put it on during the night, ready in the morning. Great machine, can hold alot more than I thought. Does the job well.
Date published: 2024-05-02
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Ease of use and great results I bought this so I could make jerky for my dog It works very well.still experimenting with the other uses have had success with apples and herbs. More than happy
Date published: 2019-05-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sunbeam Hehydrator Very happy so far. It is quiet operating and my very thinly cut chicken breast turned out exceptionally well and was much enjoyed by my fussy dog. It is easy to check on the progression and alter the time as needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect dehydrated apples Easy to use. Digital time and temperature display so you can set and forget. Plenty of dehydrating trays allowing you to dehydrate a large amount of food at one time. Apples and kiwi fruit dehydrated to perfection.
Date published: 2021-09-09
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product apart from twisted fruit tray Fruit tray is twisted and does not sit properly in the machine. Took it back to Harvey Norman and they looked in three boxes, but all were twisted. Fruit mixture pools to one side so does not dehydrate evenly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet, Light and cooks to perfection Great unit. Bought it to make jerky and it turned out amazing. Machine although large in size it very light weight and quiet to run. Little info booklet provided range of info for various food items and recipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Dehydrator Fantastic product. My daughter is busy making healthy rollups and we are looking and making jerky. I thought it would chew the power but it doesn't. Recommend product but then always liked Sunbeam appliances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple to use Fantastic invention. Simple to use. So far I've dried mango... (delicious) and beef jerky. Amazingly simple to use no fidling with dials and programmes just put the food in, turn it off and walk away. Done!
Date published: 2022-01-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dehydrator....very happy! Great machine and has already been put to use. Had to extend the drying time due to humidity and cold, rainy weather, but the final products were dry and crisp as expected. Very happy with this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really fast and roomy dryer Great dehydrator. Takes a heap of produce and dries it very efficiently and quickly. You can predetermine the drying time. Also, the rear fan means there’s no need to keep shuffling the shelves around.
Date published: 2024-05-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Dehydrator Great little machine that works as advertised. The individual shelfs are great for easy access and to check on how things are going. The drying seems very even across the whole shelf and each level.
Date published: 2025-05-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great buy The dehydrator has lots of space. Easy to clean the shelves. You need to cut it thinly for the indicated time to dehydrate peach and pear. The result is good and the energy consumption is not bad.
Date published: 2024-03-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 5 food groups right here! So many options for this model. Delicious food solutions for fussy kids. Love it! So easy to use, easy to clean and easy to operate. This has added a new dimension to our kitchen. We all love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jerky king Makes lovely jerky this thing. Didn’t expect much really. All it does is dries out things. So yeah. Does what it says it will do. I do like the different settings it lets you choose from though.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Stopped working after 8mths use. Bought it to make healthy jerky for our siberian husky. Been using it twice a week since early jan 2017. Great results... but Last night stopped and wont restart. Lights on but no fan operating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use and plenty of space to dehydrate foods Awesome product, my dogs now when the bleeper goes their favorite beef jerky is ready. They seem to prefer it so much more than the pre packed shop products. Great for raising dough too.
Date published: 2020-07-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommended for home dehydrating I like this model better than the circle shaped Sunbeam which I have tried before. The Food Lab dehydrates quicker and the food is easy to spread out over multiple trays. Easy to use.
Date published: 2021-09-12
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Does the job. Quite noisy but I keep it in the garage so no problems. The suggested times in the user guide are wrong. It takes much longer to get food properly dehydrated. Good size for home use.
Date published: 2021-10-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from wow have had this two months and its so much better than the other dehydrators i have had. the temperature control and times options are wonderful no guessing how long and how hot it is
Date published: 2018-01-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great dehydrator Great product! So far I have dehydrated fruits, crackers and hummus. Really easy to use. Only flaw is that some things take a bit longer than the times given in the recipe book.
Date published: 2022-01-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product Quiet operation and a more efficient shape to make the get the most from batches of food. One or two button start process and a black theme on the unit made it an easy choice
Date published: 2020-10-04
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Food Dehydrator This is a good product but the timings indicated in the book need to be used as an approximate. Need to spend time trying out and getting the timings and temperature right.
Date published: 2021-08-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sunbeam square food dryer Fast, and efficient to load. Even drying over all racks. Bigger capacity to dry more at the same time. Very happy with this square version compared to the round version
Date published: 2025-02-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works very well Works very well, dries evenly nice to layer the food on trays. Only downside is everything Is plastic and feels flimsy when you pick it up. But at $200 I can’t complain

Will this dehydrate meals? For example vegetarian pasta sauce (no oil)?

Asked by: Sanji
Thanks for your question. You won't be able to dehydrate combined meals, as times are affected by factors such as contents and wetness. You can dehydrate individual parts of a cooked meal, before combining. There is no specific setting for this on the unit, so this may be trial and error with a non-chunky sauce. Hope this helps! ^CO

Will this safely dehydrate meat? Wanting to make some epic treats for my puppy.

Asked by: Eloise
Great question Eloise! Yes, it can be used for unprocessed meat cuts, however, you will need to ensure the specific recipe is appropriate for your puppy, as not all food will be suitable. We would also advise following specific recipes that require the use of a dehydrator, to ensure it is done safely. Hope this helps! ^CO
