Harvest Right Medium Pro 5-Tray Stainless Steel Home Freeze Dryer FAQs
How does the Harvest Right Medium Pro freeze dryer work?
+
Simply prepare your food, load it onto the five stainless steel trays, and let the freeze dryer do the rest. The intuitive interface makes the process easy, even for beginners. The machine freezes your food, then removes 98% of moisture through sublimation, preserving nutrients and flavor for up to 25 years of storage.
What's the difference between the stainless steel and powder-coated Medium freeze dryer models?
+
The main difference is the exterior finish and tray material. The stainless steel model features a stainless steel exterior body and stainless steel trays that are rust-resistant and easier to clean. The
powder-coated model has a durable powder-coated steel exterior with standard aluminum trays. Both models have identical capacity (10-15 lbs fresh food), dimensions (29" x 19" x 25"), and functionality.
Who is the Harvest Right Medium Pro freeze dryer best suited for?
+
The Medium Pro is perfect for families or small groups who want to preserve moderate amounts of food regularly. With its 10-15 lbs capacity per batch and space-saving design that fits in most kitchens, it's ideal for those who want the benefits of long-term food storage without needing commercial-scale equipment.
What kind of maintenance does the Harvest Right Medium Pro require?
+
Maintenance is minimal - simply clean the stainless steel trays after each use. The included Premier oil pump requires oil changes every 20-25 batches using the provided vacuum pump oil and oil filter. The machine operates automatically once started, requiring minimal supervision during the cycle.
What is the difference between the oil-free pump and the included Premier pump?
+
The included Premier pump offers robust performance with quiet operation but requires oil changes every 20-25 batches. The optional oil-free pump upgrade ($1,995) eliminates all oil changes and regular maintenance for completely hassle-free operation, though it runs slightly louder than the oil-based pump.
What is covered by the 3-year warranty and what happens if there's an issue?
+
Year 1 provides full warranty coverage for the freeze dryer, Premier oil pump, and oil-free pump including repair or replacement for defective workmanship or materials. Years 2-3 offer limited warranty covering the compressor, condenser, and evaporator of the sealed refrigeration system. Consumer responsibility includes replacement parts for misuse/neglect and diagnostic/transportation costs after year 1. The warranty applies to the continental U.S. 48 states with different terms for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
How does freeze drying compare to other preservation methods?
+
Freeze drying removes 98% of moisture while maintaining the food's original structure and nutritional content. Unlike dehydrating which removes 90-95% of moisture, or canning and freezing, freeze-dried foods retain more vitamins and minerals and don't require refrigeration for storage up to 25 years. The food rehydrates to nearly its original texture and taste.
What's the annual food preservation capacity of the Harvest Right Medium and how much space do I need?
+
The Medium Pro can process approximately 1,450 lbs of fresh food annually based on regular use. Each batch yields 2-3.5 gallons of freeze-dried food from 10-15 lbs of fresh material. The unit measures 29" tall x 19" wide x 25" deep and weighs 127 lbs, requiring adequate counter space and access to a standard 110V outlet for the included Premier pump.
Extension cords are not recommended by Harvest Right as it may cause issues while the machine is running.
