Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Reviews

We've had our eyes on a harvest right freeze dryer for years and years and finally got one in June. Since then it's pretty much been running it 24/7! I've tasted almost everything that has come out (except raw meats/eggs) and it has all been fantastic- diced peaches are my favorite, like candy, so good!!! I love that I have another way to preserve my garden fruits and veggies and excess meat from our homestead. It was a huge investment but worth every penny!

We have had a few hiccups along the way but between the harvest right fb group and harvest rights amazing customer service we have solved anything that's come up.

Several of my friends have Harvest Right freeze dryers and love them, so I took the plunge last spring and purchased the medium-sized model. I have much less time now than previously to devote to food preservation. Their advise helped me to see that this would fit my busy busy lifestyle better than the canning and freezing techniques I'd always used in the past.

I was a little apprehensive/nervous about using it at first; you know, the whole learning curve thing. But it couldn't be easier! Turn it on and the simple directions for each step pop up on the screen.

It's been so fun and the results so delicious that I haven't accumulated much for long term storage.

My family loves to snack on all kinds of freeze dried fruit. One of the best discoveries was how wonderful lightly seasoned veggies turn out!

There's a whole community of satisfied Harvest Right owners that share their knowledge & experiences via Facebook and YouTube.

I had an issue with the impulse sealer and it was resolved very quickly. The Customer Service representative was tops!

Each time I called, everyone who helped me was so kind and helpful, it really helped me understand my Harvest Right experience so much better.

Louis Ruiz was amazing and was so knowledgeable and kind. I really appreciate him, he even called me back to see how things were going. Thank you so much for all the great interactions I've had with everyone (especially Louis)!

I love my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! We purchased a medium in May 2022 and have gotten a lot of use out of it. I’ve done a range of things, berries, vegetables, peaches, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, chili and even eggs. Most things take between 24-40 hours depending on how full your trays are. (I overfilled my trays with the tomatoes and they took longer, but I’m still learning, haha). Everything so far has had great flavor when dried and rehydrates just as it should. With the chili, you would never know it was freeze dried!

Sealing them up in the Mylar bags is a breeze as well! It only takes a few minutes. And it’s nice to have food on the shelves that lasts much longer than traditional canning (25 years!) and not have to worry about seals coming loose over time or jars getting broken in an earthquake.

The machine itself is so easy to use, just follow the directions on the touch screen. Even changing the oil in the pump is very straight forward.

I had some questions about some settings and contacted Harvest Right by phone and also by email. They were very responsive and helpful and answered all my questions. I absolutely recommend their product if you are interested in preserving food. I am really enjoying my freeze drier!

I have owned several freeze dryers and I have to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALl of Harvest Rights products. From the freeze dryers themselves to extensive accessory line I trust them for everything.

I’m not going to lie, I have had a few issues come up with my machines, but with Harvest Rights customer service videos I have been able to figure out issues on my own.

We purchased our freeze dryer 4 years ago. It was software version 3.6.11 . We set up 4 years later we were waiting until we were settled into our new home. The first couple times we used it (30 hour process time) we thought that it was done and the fruit broke in half very easily but we found when we sealed and stored in our Mylar bags, that once I opened them just to test out to see what the fruit looked like, everything was stuck together and very moist.

I reached out to Harvest Right they suggested we upgrade to software version 5.1.16, which we did that day. We ran a new cycle with the new software and 34 hours later the fruit was done and appeared to be much dyer and crispier. The upgraded version allows you to just turn the machine on and it does the rest for you. We are hoping that this solved our issues.

I’ve had the Harvest Right freeze dryer for several years now. We started out with a used one I purchased and a little over a year ago purchased a new large one. Now we use both.

We’ve had some minor problems, but the support team is always responsive and gets our problems solved as quickly as possible. My wife and I love our freeze dryers and the Harvest Right team that keeps us going. We now have a medium (our older one) and a large. Just purchased the premier pump for our older freeze dryer. Works wonderful!
