The Harvest Right Medium Pro is a home freeze dryer for people who want to preserve food in bulk. Five stainless steel trays give 675 square inches of space and hold 10 to 15 pounds of fresh food per batch. A touchscreen runs the freeze, vacuum and dry cycles automatically, and each batch takes 24 to 36 hours. The Premier industrial pump is the stronger of Harvest Right's two pump options, and the included Mylar kit lets you seal and store food the same day. It is a large, heavy, power-hungry machine, so it suits households with freezer space, a dedicated outlet and a real surplus of food. Against smaller Harvest Right units it trades a bigger footprint for larger batches; against cheap countertop dehydrators it is a different class of machine that actually freeze-dries.

The Harvest Right Medium Pro is a home freeze dryer with five food-grade stainless steel trays. The trays provide 675 sq in of space and hold 10 to 15 lbs of fresh food per batch. The unit comes with the Premier Industrial Vacuum Pump, which is standard on Pro models. This one is the white finish.
A full-color touchscreen with smart automation manages the freezing, vacuum, and drying stages automatically. Each batch runs 24 to 36 hours. The included Mylar kit lets you seal finished food the same day, and sealed Mylar bags store at room temperature for up to 25 years.
The unit fits on a countertop, cart, or sturdy table and has a 19" x 25" footprint. At 119 to 127 lbs, it can be positioned by two people. After each batch, drain and filter the pump oil, which takes about two minutes. Replace the oil completely every 20 to 30 batches.
