Hi, I'm a newbie here, I'm interested in buying a dehydrator, I couldn't makeup my mind between an Excalibur and Tribest Sedona brand, both comes with a stainless steel trays. Any suggestion or advise please. Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with the Tribest brand, but I have worked with the Excalibur and really like it.
I'm so excited. I just found a dehydrator at one of the Goodwill stores in my area. It says 1983 on the box so it's an oldie. The plastic on it has yellowed due to age but it looks like it was never or hardly used. I plugged it in and it works. I was a bit concerned about the fan being on the bottom (didn't think about that in the store) but having read what was said above having the fan on the bottom seems okay. I'll definitely be giving this a try. I certainly won't load it with a bunch of cookies at first. Maybe just one to see how it goes. You can't beat $9.99. I highly recommend that you all check your second-hand shops. I've found a bunch of cookie cutters for super cheap. Now finding this dehydrator, I will be frequenting the Goodwill/used shops more often. I've also found some useful items at the "Dollar Tree."
you are right Rebeccas sew where I live we have a store called the ReUse It store and I have found many useful things there and I have been keeping my eyes open for a dehydrator one day I'll find one nothing wrong with recycling I love to hunt
I just last week purchased a new nine drawer Aroma Professional digital dehydrator. I love it and I loved the price! Sam's Club has them for $99.98. Using a dehydrator definitely has a little learning curve, but I would say it will be way worth the effort once I get it all down!
I am late to this discussion, but I wondered if I should consider getting a dehydrator. I currently use a food heat lamp and fan combination. This results in a very smooth, slightly shiny surface and does NOT dry out the cookie. The drawback is that I can't put very many cookies under the lamps, so it slows me down. I always felt that a dehydrator must dry the cookie so that has been my hesitation.

If you don't leave them in the dehydrator very long - just long enough to set the outer layer of icing - the result is basically the same as what you described.
Has anyone tried the dehydrator function on the power airfryer oven? Thoughts? I'd really like to condense my count of small appliances, and if this does just as well as my dehydrator, then that would be one less appliance I have to have space for in my kitchen.

Nope. But I imagine if the temperature can be set at 90-95F (my normal dehydrating temperature), it would be fine.
