Harvest Right Freeze Dryer

[banks74]

I've been wanting to buy a harvest right as well. I think it would be nice to use leftovers in it and build up a supply of food for future use. As well as taking advantage of food sales etc.

Some of the odd ball snacks you can put in there are pretty good too. Ice cream sandwiches, skittles etc. Makes a unique and tasty treat.

It was really tempting!! They also had them at my local murdochs this past week too. I think 10% off as well.

2 people i know down here have them. Both are happy with the results and capability, to fd almost any kind of food. I , atm see no reason to get one, since they've said i could use their driers, as needed. Their messing around with various snacks has produced some interesting and tasty things. The worst is the fd reeses pb cups. The eggs from their cluckers have been interesting as fd foods.

I don't have one, but am saving up for one. Wanted one for years I love the idea of freeze drying at home.

This is me too.

Been looking at the Harvest Right website on and of or just over 2 years. It's definitely going to be a hard sell to get the Mrs. onboard though so I've held off - for now.

I was watching Steve1989 do a Thanksgiving dinner in one earlier today.

Yeah, saw that too. The crunchy FD dressing sounded interesting to me.

This is exactly where I'm at... She was pretty much on board (with an eyeroll) until she saw the cost.

A good friend has one. His complaint is that it’s extremely slow. I haven’t used it myself, but I lost interest after talking to him about it.

How old is his? They have several versions of the software. Older SW versions aren't as efficient with the sensors and take longer. It also depends on if he pre-freezes the food, etc. People report a reduction of total time by up to 20 hours. However, some people are going back to the older SW as it had certain features the new "smarter" versions don't. HR will email the various versions to the user. If he is on an older version, he should email HR and ask if they will send him the newer version (assuming his machine will accept it).

regarding the oil free pump:

Looking at a bunch of harvest Right FB groups, I learned the oil free actually requires servicing by Harvest Right every year or two depending on use. That service cost is ~$400+shipping. The premier pump can go multiple loads without filtering the oil, is quieter, and if it ever breaks the replacement cost works better than the initial oil free+service costs.

HR isn't exactly advertising that aspect of the oil free pump, so it seems the premier is the best value add over the standard pump.
