Harvest Right Small Home Freeze Dryer vs Harvest Right Countertop 360 Freeze Dryer

Both are Harvest Right countertop freeze dryers with four stainless steel trays and a similar 5 to 9 lb batch range, so the real split is the vacuum pump and the warranty. The Countertop 360 builds the industrial pump into the cabinet, adds a built-in drain pan, and carries a three-year limited warranty. The Countertop Pro ships with a separate Premier pump and a one-year warranty, with three years limited on the sealed refrigeration system. Buy the 360 for a cleaner setup and longer coverage; buy the Pro if you prefer an external pump you can service or replace on its own.

• Choose the Countertop Pro if you want a separate Premier vacuum pump that is easy to swap or service, and a sealed refrigeration system covered for three years.
• Choose the Countertop 360 if you want the pump and drain pan built in, a tidier counter footprint, and a three-year limited warranty on the whole machine.
