Who This Is For
- You are choosing this mid-size unit because your harvest volume has outgrown entry-level equipment.
- You are investing in the stainless model because you need a food-safe exterior that won't chip or rust over years.
- You are adding the oil-free pump because you want to run consecutive batches without stopping for oil maintenance.
What We Found
- We always suggest the oil-free pump for people who hate the mess and chore of changing oil every 20 batches.
- The stainless steel finish is easier to wipe down and sanitize than the powder-coated version we used to carry.
What Users Say
- Users who switched from canning say they saved dozens of hours per month by letting the machine handle the cycles.
- Buyers who upgraded from the small model found the five-tray layout fits their full harvest without any overflow.

Warranty
The Harvest Right Medium Pro comes with a full one-year warranty from the original ship date covering the freeze dryer and vacuum pump against defects in workmanship or materials. Years two and three include a limited warranty on the sealed refrigeration system — compressor, condenser, evaporator, and tubing. After the first year, consumers are responsible for diagnostic charges and transportation costs. For customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico, the same warranty periods apply; however, service is handled locally by the customer or a Harvest Right-approved technician, with the consumer responsible for all associated transportation and service costs.
FAQs
How much food can the Medium Pro process per batch?
The Medium Pro handles 10–15 lbs of fresh food per batch across five stainless steel trays, yielding approximately 2–3.5 gallons of freeze-dried product. It's well suited for families or small groups who preserve food regularly and need more output than a small unit can provide.
What's the difference between the stainless steel and powder-coated Medium models?
Both models share identical capacity, dimensions, and functionality. The stainless steel version features a corrosion-resistant exterior and stainless steel trays that are easier to sanitize and more durable in humid environments. The powder-coated model offers a more budget-friendly entry point with a durable painted steel exterior.
Does the Medium Pro require a special electrical outlet?
No. The Medium Pro runs on a standard 110V household outlet. It's strongly recommended to use a dedicated circuit and avoid extension cords, as these can cause operational issues and affect performance during long cycles.
How often does the Premier Pump need an oil change?
The included Premier Pump requires an oil change every 20–25 batches to maintain peak vacuum pressure. Replacement oil and filters are inexpensive and easy to source. If you'd prefer zero maintenance, the Oil-Free Pump upgrade eliminates this step entirely.
What types of food can I freeze dry with the Medium Pro?
The Medium Pro handles a wide range of foods — fruits, vegetables, meats, fully cooked meals, soups, dairy, and even liquids when properly prepared. Foods very high in fat or oil content (like pure butter or chocolate) are not suitable, as the process relies on water sublimation. Everything else preserves with up to 97% of its original nutrients intact for up to 25 years.
How does freeze drying compare to other food preservation methods?
Freeze drying removes up to 98% of moisture while preserving the food's original structure, color, and nutritional content. Unlike dehydrating, canning, or freezing, freeze-dried food requires no refrigeration, rehydrates to near-original texture and taste, and lasts up to 25 years when stored in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers — both of which are included in the kit.
