L'Equip Food Dehydrators
L'Equip food dehydrators are known for high quality performance combined with modern design. They're unique looking, but they're also heavy duty appliances.
If you're into the whole nature/environment thing, this is the company for you. For every L'Equip unit sold, a tree will be planted in a hurting national forest.

L'Equip FilterPro Dehydrator
The L'Equip FilterPro is the top of the line L'Equip. That one has an intake air filter. I haven't tested that model, so I can't say whether or not it's useful. My Excalibur usually runs when nothing else in the kitchen is on, so there aren't any smells to contaminate my banana chips.
These are some good looking machines. If you have a designer kitchen with fancy looking things, an 'LEquip dehydrator (or any of their products) would fit right in. Even if you don't, I think the machines are tasteful and look good anywhere.
Note the square box shape. I like the box dehydrators because they don't have a big hole in the middle (unlike the round designs).
Bottom line
If your budget is in the $150+ range, it's a toss-up between an L'Equip and an Excalibur. You really can't go wrong because both are high quality dehydrators, and it's okay to choose based on aesthetics.
