Dehydrators with thermostats are not affected by weather conditions and allow better control over food quality than sun drying.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar drying uses the sun as the heat source, but a specially designed dehydrator increases the temperature and air current to speed up the drying time. Shorter drying times reduce the risk of food spoilage or molding.
