The Harvest Right Home Pro Medium is a home freeze dryer for preserving food. It can freeze dry fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, desserts and full meals. Freeze drying keeps flavor, nutrition and texture, and freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years.
This Pro model has one more tray than the previous model, for a total of 5 stainless steel trays. It handles 10 to 15 pounds of fresh food per batch, or up to 1,600 pounds per year. Each batch produces 2 to 3.5 gallons of freeze-dried food.
The vacuum pump is detachable and sits outside the freeze dryer. With the standard oil pump, maintenance means filtering and replacing the oil, which takes a couple of minutes. An oil-free pump needs no oil changes. The unit plugs into a 110 volt outlet.
