I have had the 5 shelf Excalibur for over 20 years. I tried one of those round types when I picked up a brand new one, still in box at the SalVal for 5.00. To compare the 2 is like comparing apples to oranges. It depends on what you will be using the dehydrator for. I use the Excalibur for drying crafts as well as foods, so I need one that has the features the Excalibur offers. Such as yesterday, I made soap and dried the bars in the dehydrator. With the Excalibur you can use all the trays , some trays or remove them all for taller applications like raising bread or making yogurt and you cannot do that in round models, or at least the one I picked up cheap. If a part gets broken I can order replacements and the cheaper ones don't have a 10 year warranty. I saw on the Excalibur site the Economy 4 tray is one sale and lower priced than the Nesco Pro right now. I found that in the round types ones the food trays lower dried faster and you were constantly moving tray for even drying, you don't need to do that in the Excalibur. Dehydrated green beans with ham and potatoes is awesome. Dried strawberries are intense, and I always make a big batch of dried soup veggies , as those mixes are so pricy to buy. Both manufacturers have recipes/ideas on their websites, maybe those can help you decide.

Whew! Okay, one less boob light in the world, like sailorgirl said! lol Fidoprincess, we do have one of the newer squarish boxes. The ground wire is a mystery, though, as it only came out of the old light fixture itself and was not inside the ceiling box-- I'm looking into making sure we're okay with the way we have the light "grounded" to the ground screw, so I'll be posting this on the Lighting forum too! The old light had a ground wire that ran from the ground screw to a metal part of the old light. I thought the ground wire was supposed to come out of the ceiling box. Anyone know? Meanwhile, we're keeping it off until I find out if we did the ground wire correctly. The new semi flush light sure looks pretty and gives off plenty of light!

Julia, what is your daylily in the photo. Trying to delete with a mac. Well that didn't work Try one more time That works. I used the houze photo button to load pic from my computer. The photo now shows before posting (did not before) theirs a little x in corner. Click x picture goes away before posting. Use can use the right side of houzz photo to upload from computer without uploading photos to houzz.

They all look viable. Shallow pot, bright indirect light, and daily misting should give you rooted pups in two months or less, particularly if they're located on a warm surface that would give them bottom heat.
