I have both the Presto dehydrator and the Nesco American Harvest FD-1040 Gardenmaster 1000-Watt Digital Food Dehydrator. I like them both but the Nesco is definitely better quality than the Presto (but also more expensive). The Nesco is easier to clean and I like that the fan and heating elements are on the top which prevents them from getting dripped on.
I have used the Nesco to make beef jerky from ground beef as well as fruit leather and dried lime and lemon.
The Excalibur's get great reviews but or more pricey. I have seen smaller less expensive Excalibur versions at Walmart.
Mine takes up less than 3 sq ft. Probably less than 2. Here's a link:

I bought the maximum number of trays I could along with the tray inserts for sauces and fruit leathers and drying herbs, when not in use they all sit inside the dehydrator which sits in the bottom of my pantry or on top of the fridge if it's running. I've had it since 2013 and while I don't see it saving space on food much it's been a worthwhile investment. I think it would be just fine in that amount of space, I pulled it off in mine with 2 people, 3 cats, too much furniture and 150 sq feet of that being a studio space. Also! They are super light so they can stack pretty much anywhere. I can carry the whole thing stacked up with all the trays with one hand when it's ready to store it.
What price range are you looking for? I purchased my excalibur off amazon for way less than the $400+ you mentioned.
This is the model I purchased and it's been treating me well. It is only about $160 as well, which while not cheap is imo worth it for the square trays and large drying area.
This all depends on what you want to do with it though. I make jerky frequently so the bigger area is great for larger batches.
Yes, I used something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bakers-Angel-Flake-Sweetened-Coconut/dp/B003ZZ8DEC
good luck!
I just got the Excalibur 2400... $149 on Amazon. Been loving it so far. Aaaand, looks like it's $40 off right now. http://www.amazon.com/Excalibur-2400-4-Tray-Economy-Dehydrator/dp/B0047WOWHE#
i'd check craigslist first. you can get some really good deals there.
having a timer is a nice feature but it can be easily replicated by adding a plug timer. I couldn't find exactly what i was looking for but this gives you an idea: http://www.amazon.com/401A-Mechanical-Multiple-Lighting-Polarized/dp/B00435FRXS/ref=sr_1_4?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1409237089&sr=1-4&keywords=light+timer
If you have the choice find a unit with the fan/heating element at the rear instead of the top or bottom. Also square is easier to work with than round. I have the 5 tray version of this http://www.amazon.com/LEM-Products-Dehydrator-Digital-Timer/dp/B004VLKT3W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451493203&sr=8-1&keywords=dehydrator+lem Which is the LEM version of this http://www.amazon.com/Excalibur-3500B-Deluxe-Dehydrator-Black/dp/B002SHNIW0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451493100&sr=8-2&keywords=dehydrator+5+tray.
I have the Nesco 60 which works pretty darn good for me. I wouldn't mind a timer, but you can always add them on the power cord.
i guess the excaliber is nicer...since you can remove the trays for doing dough proofing.
fruit slices go directly on the tray itself.
You can buy trays to make fruit leather. Sometimes I put in parchment paper if it looks messy like beef jerky.
I use this
