The Filterpro Food Dehydrator
Why This Dehydrator Hits The Sweet Spot
The L’Equip Filterpro stands out from the crowd as a dehydrator that seems to tick the most boxes for the majority of food drying applications. Is it ‘the best’ dehydrator out there? That depends. The definition of ‘best’ is subjective and determined by an individual’s priorities. For example, if you have a large family with a smallholding producing lots of surplus in summer, you might want a larger dehydrator to preserve a harvest time glut. If you are a student in shared accommodation you may want something smaller. With this review we’re aiming at the middle area of the bell curve, not the outliers at the edges. Without suggesting that the reader is ‘ordinary’ or lumping you in with the crowd, let’s explore why most people getting into dehydrating their own food will struggle to find a dehydrator more suitable than the Filterpro.
Size Matters
We’ve already given an example of differing priorities in regard to dehydrator size. Out of the box the Filterpro offers approximately 0.72 square metres or 7.5 square feet of drying area throughout its six trays. Because these trays are separate and stackable, they can be added or removed to the exact size of the ingredients being dried. You can expand it’s capacity vertically with optional extra trays for big batches if you need to. This flexibility means the Filterpro is about as versatile as it gets size wise, allowing you to economise on power use by optimising the number of trays in use at any given time. With a space friendly footprint of 43cm by 28cm, the Filterpro sits right there in the Goldilocks zone for most peoples living space.
Under Pressure
Power consumption optimisation in the Filterpro is another feature that sets it apart from most dehydrators. The air circulation is designed to create a slight internal back pressure and recirculate the warm air in both upward and downward directional flows. This results in better heat retention, while the warm air is evenly distributed to every corner. Your delicious recipes are more evenly dried, in less time – a feat that some other dehydrators notoriously fail to achieve. Alongside the ability to use the perfect number of trays for each batch, this means less power is used than in a dehydrator where the volume of the drying zone is fixed. One more area where the Filterpro strikes the right balance.
Clean Air Drying
With dehydrator snacks and other dried foods we generally take them from storage and use them straight away. Who wants to wash their banana chips or kale crackers before eating them? The L’Equip Filterpro was the first dehydrator on the market to offer a simple washable filter on the air inlet. This means that all the air being sucked into the dehydrator is scrubbed of any airborne particles and the food is dried with pre-cleaned air. It’s surprising how many dehydrators have yet to adopt this simple hack. Would you like some dust of unidentified origin stuck to the surface of your rice cakes? Thought not. Then you need a dehydrator that cleans the air before it reaches your food. Another box ticked.
Digital Timer and Temperature Controls
With a digital timer and temperature control, you’re not just setting numbers; you’re gaining precision, consistency, and peace of mind every time you use the dehydrator. Just set it and forget it.
Whether you’re drying delicate herbs or making meat jerky with an eye for food-safe drying, digital control helps you achieve perfect results by holding exact temperatures. Plus, with easy-to-read LED displays, you’ll see your settings in an instant as the timer counts down. The winning combination of features offered by the Filterpro continues to grow.
Engineered For Endurance
Reliability is not always front of mind for many of us, as we have come to expect all our small appliances to last a decent amount of time. But things do fail occasionally and we often tend to just accept a limited lifespan, sometimes more so where heating elements are involved.
