The Harvest Right Home Pro Large is a countertop freeze dryer with six trays, a vacuum pump and a Mylar starter kit. It freeze-dries fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, desserts and full meals, and Harvest Right says the results keep for up to 25 years. The Pro adds a sixth tray over the previous Large model, and an included adapter lets it run on a standard 15-amp outlet instead of the dedicated 20-amp circuit earlier Large units needed. It suits gardeners with surplus harvest, bulk buyers and people building emergency food stores; it is a big, heavy, loud machine that runs long cycles, so it rewards frequent use rather than occasional batches.

Owners of Harvest Right home freeze dryers generally value the long-term food storage and the quality of the results, and the Pro's extra tray and 15-amp adapter are welcome. Complaints center on long cycle times, noise and the upkeep the machine demands.
The Harvest Right Home Pro Large Freeze Dryer preserves fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, desserts and full meals at home. Freeze drying keeps the flavor, nutrition and texture of the food, and freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years. This Pro model has one more tray than the previous model.
The unit handles 18 to 23 pounds of fresh food per batch, or up to 3,000 pounds per year. Each batch produces 4 to 6 gallons of freeze-dried food. The vacuum pump is detachable and sits outside the freeze dryer. Oil pump maintenance means filtering and replacing the oil, which takes a couple of minutes. An oil-free pump needs no oil changes.
It runs on a 110 volt outlet with a dedicated 15 amp circuit. The large freeze dryer ships with an adapter for a regular 15 amp outlet, so a NEMA 5-20 outlet is no longer needed. Home uses include preserving garden harvests, emergency food supplies, backpacking meals and home-prepared pet food.
