I started a jerky company this past February and in the process tried out quite a few different commercial model dehydrators.
The Cabellas and Gander Mountain models look nice but, don't dry evenly and the trays are non-stick coated that chips away and causes them to rust.
The LEM models come with chrome plated trays that chip away over time and start to rust. The rust won't hurt you but, doesn't look good and will eventually eat thru them. The LEM model I'd ordered also didn't have a removable heat element, the stainless casing has sheet metal joints that can be hard to clean and are extremely sharp and it didn't come with a drip tray which led me to STX.
I'm not affiliated with STX in any way and my multiple attempts to contact them for various reasons were unsuccessful. They are currently the only consumer avail commercial grade dehydrator on the market, that I know of, that actually heats up to 165f which is recommended for removing pathogens when dehydrating meat. I have purchased a few of their 1200W units and they are really good quality. Their trays are 100% stainless crossbar, they ship with silicone mats and stainless drip trays for easy cleaning and the bottoms of the units don't have any corner edges that cannot be cleaned easily.
With all that being said, Im actually moving toward using vacuum ovens exclusively for jerky drying and will be willing to sell any of my 6 commercial dehydrators, if you are still looking for a deal. The vacuum ovens work crazy fast and don't cause oxidation like you'd get with air heat. The 10 hour drying process literally only takes 1 hour at 90C and 29Hgm.
If you do get into using Vacuum, it is quite useful for texturizing, tenderizing and can also be used to marinate what would be a 12+ hour batch in 15 minutes.
Cheers!
