It's worth it if you like dried fruit and drying things in general.
If all I did was beef jerky, it would sit like it did at my inlaws.
I eat a lot of dried fruit, it's nice to not have the preservatives.
I've messed up at least 2 bunches of bananas, a watermelon, cantaloupe, some soup (chunky, I'm not a moron), and a handful of other fruits.
We eat a lot of apple leather.
