Warranty
The Harvest Right Small 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 Small Pro process per batch?
The Small Pro handles 6–9 lbs of fresh food per batch across four stainless steel trays, yielding approximately 1.5–2 gallons of freeze-dried product. It's best suited for individuals, couples, or small families with moderate preservation needs.
Is the Small Pro easy to use for beginners?
Yes. Simply prepare your food, load it onto the trays, and press start. The unit manages the entire freeze-drying cycle automatically and alerts you when the batch is complete. The included Guide to Freeze Drying and Starter Guide walk you through everything from your first batch onward.
Does the Small Pro require a special electrical outlet?
No. The Small 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 Small Pro?
The Small Pro handles a wide range of foods — fruits, vegetables, meats, fully cooked meals, soups, and even dairy. Foods high in fat or oil content (like butter or pure chocolate) are not suitable for freeze drying, as the process relies on water sublimation. Everything else preserves beautifully with up to 97% of its original nutrients intact.
How long does freeze-dried food last?
When properly packaged in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers — both included in the kit — freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years. Shelf life depends on correct storage: a cool, dark, and dry environment is ideal for maximum longevity.
