Our story

Trusted by Kiwi families for over 40 years

Designed and built in New Zealand by Hydraflow Industries in 1985 for our produce, our kitchens, and our seasons. For four decades, Kiwi families have been drying feijoas, making fruit leather, and sending kids to school with snacks they actually made themselves. Some are on their fourth Ezidri. That’s what happens when a product is built to last.

‘I am really happy with this product, this is the 4th one we have bought.’

WHY EZIDRI

Why thousands of Kiwis choose Ezidri

No glucose syrup, no artificial colour, no preservatives. Just the fruit, veg, or meat you chose yourself.
📦

Reduce food waste

Feijoa glut? Apple tree overflowing? Dried produce stores for up to 12 months in an airtight container.
💰

Save real money

Supermarket jerky is about $10 for just 100g. Make your own at home for a fraction of the price — no additives, all yours.
🇳🇿

NZ-designed since 1985

Made for NZ kitchens, NZ seasons, and NZ produce. Backed by a local team with 40+ years of experience.
THE EZIDRI DIFFERENCE

Built to grow. Built to last.

Most dehydrators lock you in one size, fixed capacity, and hot air from the bottom up that forces tray rotation. Ezidri does both differently.
🔄

Expands from 5 to 30 trays

Start small, grow as your habit grows on the same base unit you already own.

No tray rotation ever

Unique horizontal airflow reaches every tray evenly. Load it, set the timer, walk away.

94% five-star verified reviews on ezidri.co.nz.

'I was tired of paying over $10 for 100 grams of beef jerky that had who knows what added to it. In less than two weeks we have produced a significant amount of healthy jerky.'

Asantha Wijeyeratne, Korokoro
Verified FD1000 buyer

'I make fruit straps for the grandchildren. I can now use all my trays with the mesh sheets. I love my Ezidri.'

Karen Crabb, Auckland
Verified FD1000 buyer

'Purchased after trying 2 other types of dehydrators. One had the engine go. The other the shelves broke due to brittleness. This product is solid.'

Harry Mallalieu, Wellington
Verified FD1000 buyer

'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!'
