Are the trays BPA free for this model?

Trays are BPA free but the rest of the plastic used on this is all full of BPA. Just called customer service 2-27-2018 and they confirmed the use BPA plastic on this unit (except for the trays themselves). Take note that there are other vendors out there that refuse to use any BPA around food. Doesn't have to touch it to be dangerous. Just the heating of the BPA plastic that is in this unit can technically contaminate your food with BPA even though the trays themselves are BPA free.

The listing on Amazon for the 3926T says 440 watts. On Excalibur's site and on other sites it says 600 watts. Which is it?

If the listing used to say 440W, it has been corrected. The 5-tray models and the slightly-cheaper 9-tray 2900 use a smaller heating element than the 3900. (looks like for $20 the 2900 supposedly makes everything cheaper, from the controls to the plastic. The 3900 can be bought with an extended warranty, too.) http://www.dehydratorreview.net/reviews/excalibur-2900-economy-series-9-tray-food-dehydrator

How much open space is needed around this dehydrator for proper air flow? Has anyone used it on the floor with carpet and does it work well that way?

I have used it just about anywhere you can imagine--on carpeting, under a table, in the garage, on the patio, on a porch, in a spot made for a microwave etc. They suck air from the back, so as long as you are not plugging that up, it should be fine.
