Awesome! Wish I had bought this years ago. Getting the prepared mix into the tube is a bit of a bother. Okay, it's kind of a pain. I wish they would provide a smaller device that would allow you to scoop up the mix, and cram it all the way into the tube while pushing some of the air out. I would take away a star for this royal pain, but... Once I got it loaded up and started cranking out jerky strips... Whoa, mommy! How did I ever survive without this thing?? The strips & sticks came out very consistent, which was a godsend while drying - they all dried at the same time, unlike when I used to hand roll everything and they were different shapes/sizes/thickness.
One thing I was initially trying was to get almost ALL of the air pockets out, to avoid non-contiguous strips from coming out the nozzle. But I discovered that it was okay to have small to medium air pockets in the tube - there's a tiny gap where the nozzle connects to the tube that lets air bleed out right before it goes into the nozzle, so it wasn't a problem.
Cleaning was so-so (you'll want to find a thin brush to get down inside of the nozzles), but about what I would expect for something like this (not "easy" like they describe, but not ridiculously hard either). Quality seemed to be on target. This thing makes me want to crank out a whole new batch as soon as one has dried. Only gripe would be what it takes to load the tube up - perhaps if it were a bit wider to where the mix could be loaded in easier. But again, that's trivial compared to how well it works. So glad I bought this.

It works great. Fast and easy cleanup
I purchased this to make hamburger and ground turkey jerky for my dogs in my dehydrator. It works great. Fast and easy cleanup. In the picture is some ground turkey jerky. I have five dachshunds. A couple of them are seniors with missing teeth so this is much easier for them to eat.
