Why the Ultra FD1000
Every feature is built around one goal: even drying, every tray, without babysitting the machine.
No tray rotation
Ezidri's heated airflow system pulls warm air evenly through every tray, from the first to the thirtieth. No swapping trays halfway through a batch.
1 to 48 hour timer
Soft-touch digital controls let you set the exact hours you need, from a quick herb dry to a long biltong cure.
30°C to 70°C control
Dial in the right temperature for the job, whether that is delicate herbs at 30 degrees or a fast fruit batch at 70.
Anti-rehydration function
When the timer ends, the FD1000 automatically drops to 30°C and keeps the fan turning, so your produce will not rehydrate if you are out for the day.
1000W, low running cost
The element only runs for part of each cycle, so a full 10-hour batch uses only about 5 kWh of power.
BPA-free and safety-tested
Food-safe ABS trays and polypropylene sheets, with element and motor thermal cutout safety features, tested to EN/IEC 60335-2-9 standards.
Grow as you go
Starts at 5 trays. Grows to 30.
Most box-style dehydrators lock you into whatever size you bought. The FD1000 is stackable, so the base unit you buy today is the same one you will use in ten years, just with more trays added on top. Start with the 5 trays in the box and add more as your harvest grows.

What our customers say
Independently collected and verified through Judge.me from Ezidri buyers across all our markets.
"I really like that it goes down to 30 degrees Celsius, and has a 48 hour timer, perfect for making biltong."
"Love my new Ezidri! Have made a couple of batches of chilli venison jerky, how good?!"
"Impressed! So happy that I could use my 30+ year old Harvest Maid trays with the Ezidri. We're all set for another 30+ years of drying."
"The perfect solution for an aging tramper that loves good food and is focused on reducing weight for multi-day trips. Super easy to use and brilliant results."
"Love the feature where it drops to 30 degrees, saving the product if you don't make it back straight away."
"I was tired of paying over $10 for 100 grams of beef jerky. In less than two weeks we produced a significant amount of healthy jerky."
Common questions
FD1000 questions, answered
The FD1000 comes with 5 trays, and the maximum depends on what you are drying: up to 30 trays for light herbs and flowers, up to 24 for fruit, vegetables and beef jerky, and up to 15 for fruit roll-ups, meals or soups. Buy extra trays any time and stack them straight on top — there is no need to upgrade the base unit.
Yes. The current FD1000 model is compatible with trays and accessories from older Harvest Maid and Ezidri units, so 30 and 40-year owners can keep using what they already have.
The FD1000 solid sheet and mesh sheet are both 345mm in diameter, with a centre hole of around 55mm. Note this is larger than the FD500 sheets (315mm), so the two are not interchangeable.
About 0.5 kWh an hour, since the element only runs for part of each cycle. A typical 10-hour drying session uses about 5 kWh — apply your local electricity rate to work out the cost.
No. The FD1000's heated airflow system dries every tray evenly from top to bottom, so there is no need to swap or rotate trays partway through a batch.
Yes. If your trays, mesh sheets and other accessories are still in good condition, we can supply a new FD1000 base on its own. Get in touch with our team and we will sort a quote including freight.
Customers describe it as quiet enough to run overnight in the kitchen. It is a fan-driven appliance, so there is some background hum, but it is not disruptive for most households.
