The Harvest Right Medium is a countertop freeze dryer for home growers and preppers. It holds 10 to 15 pounds of fresh food per batch, which the company puts at up to 1,600 pounds a year, and runs on one-button operation with Smart Freeze sensing when a batch is done. It preserves color, shape and nutrition far better than dehydrating or canning, but it is a large, heavy, power-hungry machine that needs its own circuit and regular vacuum pump oil changes. Against smaller Harvest Right models it trades counter space for bigger batches; against dehydrators it costs far more and runs far slower, but the results rehydrate like fresh food.

Owners treat it as a serious preservation tool that works as advertised, with candy and full meals coming out crisp and rehydrating well. Most complaints center on batch length, pump maintenance and the machine's size and noise.
The Harvest Right Medium Home Freeze Dryer preserves food, herbs and other organic material at home. It runs with one button. Smart Freeze technology senses when the cycle is done, so there is no guesswork.
Freeze drying keeps the color, shape and nutrition of the material. It can be used for herbs, oils, home-grown fruits and vegetables, instant meals, pet food and emergency food supplies.
The unit handles 10-15 pounds of fresh food per batch. That adds up to 1,600 pounds of fresh food, or 390 gallons, per year. The vacuum pump is detachable and sits outside the freeze dryer.
