The Standard Pump is a reliable workhorse, great for most freeze-drying needs, and comes at a lower cost. However, it requires more frequent oil changes and is a bit louder.
The Industrial Pump is designed for heavy-duty use, needs less frequent oil changes, runs quieter, and can freeze-dry faster. It's great for frequent candy-making and larger batches. However, it has a higher initial cost, consumes slightly more electricity, and requires a water release procedure after every 100 hours of use.
The best choice for you depends on your frequency of use, noise concerns, budget, and available space.
