Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Reviews

The Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is an in home kitchen appliance which promises users the convenience of commercial quality freeze drying in their own home.
How Does It Work?
According to their website, Harvest Right is the only company which has built an In Home Freeze Dryer that is truly small enough in size to comfortably fit in your home while still being powerful enough to freeze dry all the foods you may want it to.
Their products are very simple to use as well. Customers can place fresh or cooked foods into the dryer where they will be frozen to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.
After the food is frozen, the freeze dryer creates a powerful vacuum around the food, and as the food slightly warms up, the ice will turn into vapor and evaporate.
Customers can then store their foods in Mylar bags, mason jars, or cans along with an oxygen absorber to ensure freshness until you decide to open it.
Their website says that their foods and meals can be rehydrated in just a few minutes, and fully restored to their original textures and tastes. Their website provides a full guide for rehydration of Meats, Vegetables, and even Fully Meals.
Cost & Price Plans
As a large scale kitchen appliance, freeze dryers are not necessarily inexpensive. In fact, their website shows prices which currently range from around $2,600 to around $4,100, though prices may vary.
In addition, there will be shipping charges assessed for this product, and as it is complicated and these products are very heavy, these charges are often expensive as well.
Refund Policy
Their website says that in home freeze dryers can be returned within the first 90 days as long as they have not been used, though the website is unclear whether this 90 day period begins on the date of purchase or on the date of delivery.
Regardless, the website says that customers will not be charged any restocking fees for returning their products, however they will be completely responsible for all shipping fees, both the original fees and the return shipping fees.
Harvest Right will issue your refund after the freeze dryer has been accepted and inspected.
Customer Service Contact Info
Customers who would like to contact Customer Service with any questions, concerns, or complaints can do so by phone at 800-865-5584 or by submitting them directly to their website through their Contact Us link.

Warranty work, and customer service is outstanding!
White, Medium, Premier Pump
After speaking with Harvest Right’s customer service (who was very helpful) and looking up information and speaking to others online ... I decided to get a white, medium sized freeze dryer with the premier pump.
I liked that the medium size allowed me to be able to use it in any outlet and move it if needed - without having to get an electrician to install a different wall outlet (needed for large units).
I also chose the premier pump because I heard that they last longer than the oil free, plus I don’t mind having to maintain it every so often.
I just got it set up and did the bread test. So far so good. My first batch will be raw milk and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I plan to store food in vacuumed sealed jars that I rotate through in my pantry and also in mylar bags for long term food storage. It will be great to be able to stock up when certain food is on sale, to have for quick meals on days I don’t want to cook, and to freeze dry food from my garden so nothing goes to waste.
This definitely was an investment but it’s worth the piece of mind having extra food on hand in case of emergencies. Highly recommend!
Lovin’ our Large Freeze Dryer!
We received our large freeze dryer in November 2022 and we’re so glad we took the plunge.
Our family has celiac and corn allergy issues, so buying food off the shelf food is challenging. We have been freeze drying foods that we can prepackage for fast after work meals that are allergy safe… and we know exactly what’s in the bag and that it is healthy. We’re having fun experimenting with different foods and creating recipes. Bonus - our kids are choosing freeze dried fruit over candy! So much to learn, but enjoying the experience!
HR Order Experience by GTW
Today, 1.26.2023, I called Harvest Right to order Oxygen Absorbers and Mylar bags. I spoke with Julie Gadbois, who helped me place my order. She was very helpful in answering my questions and in placing my order. She made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
About 45 minutes later I called Harvest Right to order a seal for my Harvest Right oil pump, which I had forgotten to order earlier that day. I spoke with Alex Prussia at about 4:50pm Central Time. I told Alex that I wanted to at the seal to my earlier order. Alex was able to make sure that if this order could not be included with my original order there would be no additional postage. Also after 15 minutes emailing different pictures of Harvest Right oil pumps, Alex was able to find which seal our oil pump needed. I appreciate Alex’s patients and help in finding the correct seal. (It was hard showing where the seal was located in the oil pump.) I also appreciate that Alex continued to assist me after 5pm until he completed our order.
Thank you Harvest Right for having employees who know how to give good customer service.
Sincerely, Greg Whitson
Fantastic Customer Service & Great Product
I just purchased a Medium HarvestRight Freeze Dryer and have had a fantastic experience with the product and with the customer service team. In the first few days I noticed a very minor issue with the heat sealer that comes in the kit and the team was fast to respond to my support ticket and worked quickly to replace at no cost to me.
Highly recommend this product and brand!
