How the Five Compare on the Numbers
Four of these five listings say they save you time, and they mean four different things by it. Two say the mesh dries faster. One says twelve liners let you fill every rack at once. One says four trays let you dry two foods side by side. One says the washing up is quicker.
Only one of the five puts a figure behind the claim. GUCUJI publishes mesh holes of around 1×1 mm and states that they promote fast, even drying with airflow above and below. CiCixixi publishes micro-hole screens with no hole figure. Lova, Baderke and XZZWLL publish the claim and no measurement of any kind.
What the table cannot tell you is how long anything takes. Not one listing in twenty-four publishes a drying time, at any temperature, for any food. The claims are all comparative with nothing to compare against, so the honest reading is that a liner changes airflow and handling and the machine still decides the hours.
One Figure Against Four Claims
Mesh Holes of Around One Millimeter
GUCUJI is the only maker here that measures the thing it says does the work. Its mesh holes are published at around 1×1 mm, stated to promote fast, even drying with airflow from above and below, and to stop blueberries and raspberries dropping through while liquid still drains. The sheet itself is published at 0.8 mm thick, written also as 30 mil.
That is a specification rather than an adjective, and it is the only one of its kind in this pool. CiCixixi publishes micro-hole screens that boost airflow and shorten drying time, with no hole size and no idea what micro means. Lova publishes a tight mesh weave. XZZWLL publishes excellent air circulation. None gives a number.
Time on the Machine, or Time at the Sink
The four remaining claims are not even about the same clock. Baderke says four trays let you dry different foods at the same time without mixing flavors, which saves an hour you would have spent running a second load. XZZWLL says a rinse under warm water is enough and no scrubbing or soaking is required, which saves the washing up instead.
Lova makes the third kind of claim. Twelve liners exist so that every rack in the machine can be lined in one go rather than reusing three liners across six shelves, and the listing says plainly what that avoids: pausing to wash mid load. It is the only one of the five that names the interruption it removes.
Counting Liners Against Counting Loads
Twelve, Ten and Ten, Eight, Five, Four
The counts here split into two ideas. Lova publishes twelve sheets at 14 by 14 inches and XZZWLL publishes eight at 13 inches across, both of them betting that you want the whole machine lined at once. GUCUJI publishes five at 12.6 inches. Baderke publishes four steel trays, and the steel is the tray rather than a liner for one.
CiCixixi publishes the odd one: ten solid mats with a raised lip and ten mesh screens, which is two products in one purchase at 11.81 by 9.84 inches. A puree load and a berry load need different surfaces, and it is the only pick here that supplies both rather than asking you to choose one and buy the other later.
Four Steel Trays Are Not Four Liners
Baderke sits in this comparison a little awkwardly and the listing is clear about why. These are 304 stainless trays at 12 by 13 inches, compatible with the CP267-FD and stated to be compatible with that model only. They are the rack itself, so they add drying area to the machine rather than protecting the rack you already own.
That matters for a weekday routine because the two do different work. Four extra racks mean a bigger single load. Twelve silicone liners mean the racks you have can carry small or wet food without losing it through the grate. The Baderke listing publishes 1.51 pounds for its four trays, the only steel in these five.
Where the Speed Claims Stop
The Liner That Says What It Cannot Do
Lova publishes the most useful sentence in the pool and it is a limitation. Its mesh is designed for solid foods, and for purees, yogurt or fruit leather the listing tells you to use a solid-surface liner instead. That is a maker ruling itself out of half the job, in writing, on its own product page.
Three of these five are mesh only. GUCUJI states liquids drain easily through its 1×1 mm holes, which is either a feature or the same warning phrased kindly. XZZWLL names fruit leather among its uses while publishing a mesh sheet with a 1.6 inch center hole. Only CiCixixi ships a raised lip mat for the wet loads.
A Weight That Covers Twenty Pieces
CiCixixi publishes 7.5 pounds, the heaviest purchase of these five, and the count is the reason rather than any thickness. The set is ten raised lip mats and ten mesh screens at a stated 11.81 by 9.84 inches, plus a spatula, so one figure covers twenty pieces and the maker publishes nothing per sheet. Baderke publishes 1.51 pounds for its four steel trays.
The dimension fields need more care than the weights across this pool. GUCUJI and XZZWLL have had their unit fields emptied because those figures measured the carton, and both are cited above from the maker’s own words instead. GUCUJI publishes 13 by 13 by 0.1 inches for a box of five sheets each 12.6 inches across.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
You want a figure rather than a promise. GUCUJI publishes mesh holes around 1×1 mm, a 12.6 inch diameter, 0.8 mm thickness and over 5,000 uses, and states the holes are what make the drying fast and even. It is 0.32 lb for five.
You dry puree one night and berries the next. CiCixixi publishes ten solid mats with a raised lip and ten mesh screens at 11.81 by 9.84 inches, plus a silicone spatula, so both surfaces are in one purchase and no second order is needed.
You want every rack lined in one go. Lova publishes twelve sheets at 14 by 14 inches, states they exist so you never pause to wash mid load, and trims with household scissors. It also states its mesh is wrong for puree.
You want more drying area, not more liners. Baderke publishes four 304 stainless trays at 12 by 13 inches for the CP267-FD only, stated to let you dry different foods at once without mixing flavors. The listing publishes 1.51 lb for the four.
You mind the washing up more than the drying. XZZWLL publishes eight mesh sheets at 13 inches across with a 1.6 inch center hole, and states a rinse in warm water or a dishwasher run is enough, with no scrubbing or soaking. It is 0.4 lb for eight.
What We Could Not Verify
Every figure above is a manufacturer’s own published number or sentence, taken from the listing itself. These are the things we went looking for across all twenty-four listings on this fact sheet and could not find in any of them.
- A drying time, in hours or minutes, for any food, from any of the twenty-four.
- A mesh hole size from CiCixixi, Lova or XZZWLL, all three of which claim airflow.
- A thickness from CiCixixi, Lova or XZZWLL in the maker’s own words.
- What CiCixixi means by micro-hole, on the screens it says shorten drying time.
- A per piece weight from CiCixixi, which publishes 7.5 pounds for the whole twenty piece set.
- Whether the Baderke steel trays replace racks or stack alongside the ones fitted.
