'''Horizontal Air-flow'''


These dehydrators have shelves which slide out like those in an oven and the air-flow comes from the sides.  This type has the advantage of more even drying, however the number of shelves is fixed and you cannot add extra ones.  Manufacturers include '''[http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/ Excalibur]''' (available from various UK outlets) and '''[http://www.tribest.co.uk/Dehydrating-and-Humidifying Tribest].'''

These have stacking trays which can be added to as desired and the air-flow comes from the bottom.  For this reason, drying may be uneven unless you swap the trays around occasionally.  They also take up less space than the horizontal dehydrators.  Manufacturers include '''[http://www.stockliproducts.com/frmNavBor/Frmindex.asp?shidip=4101620122012155154&setlang=e&action=start&frmname=main&navno=170 Stöckli]''' and '''[http://www.lequip.com/catalog.php?ctgy=Dehydrators L'Equip]''' (both available from various UK outlets)
