I have this Magic Mill, it works well for everything I've tried with it. Mushrooms, bananas, kiwi, cherries, and beef. There are nicer models but I wanted to spend less than $60 and returned the Presto one because it was a hunk 'o junko.

Is there any sort of Smart feature to dehydration or is it just keep hot until it's dry ?

There's a booklet that gives you an estimate for different food types, then you set the timer and temp and let it go. I like things cracker-dry so I'll usually add an extra hour or two.
I think it goes up to 160° for up to 24hrs

Someone got me a Braun Multiquick as a gift and it's pretty amazing, but I haven't used any others.
