The Harvest Right Medium 5 Tray Freeze Dryer in black freeze dries fresh food at home. It handles 10 to 15 pounds of food per batch, which comes to 1,600 pounds, or 390 gallons, of food per year. It comes with a Mylar starter kit.
The unit has 5 trays and sits on a counter top, cart or table. A detachable vacuum pump sits outside the freeze dryer. Maintenance means filtering and replacing the pump oil, which takes a couple of minutes. An oil-free pump upgrade removes the oil changes.
