Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Reviews

Love my harvest right freeze dryer! It has performed flawlessly so far, and the few questions I have had as a new owner have been addressed by customer service quickly and thoroughly. I would recommend harvest right to my friends and family without hesitation.

We love our Harvest Right freeze dryer! Now we can save money on food that would otherwise be wasted. We save more money by buying in bulk and using our freeze dryer to safely store extras. Makes great easy to carry camping & backpacking meals. So many ways to save time & money.

Our family has decided to work on emergency preparedness and after much thinking, research and even a call to HarvestRight to ask additional questions, we decided to make the purchase.

We are amazed at how easy it was to setup and how easy is to operate. More importantly, the final product did not disappoint!! Food is tasty, flavor is same as fresh! Our biggest problem is that once a batch finishes we can’t pack food fast enough before our kids come and start snacking on the freeze dried food.

We have had the freeze dryer for a couple of years- been great -no problem till now. It can be quite loud so Suggest having in a room where you can close the door. Plus the batch can finish at any time- day or night; difficult to time. Just recently started having technical issues but customer service has been very diligent in helping us resolve the problem and get the machine working again. We were offered company credit to submit a review but the word content is my own.

I’ve had my medium harvest right Freeze…

I’ve had my medium harvest right Freeze dryer a year in a half. I completed 58 batches of meats, vegetables, and fruits. I garden and plan to use it for my harvest this Fall. Right now, I’m having some issues with it and am working with Shai, who is really kind and patient. I’m sure it will be resolved the soonest and I’ll be ready for my Fall harvest

We purchased our Medium HarvestRight freeze dryer March 20, 2023. Its ran every other day for 3 weeks now and we love it! So far we have done eggs, berries, celery, onion, red and green peppers, ground hamburger and hamburger patties! Setup was very straightforward and the instruction manual is very easy to follow. The kit that comes with it is quality. The impulse sealer (amazing tool), oxygen absorbers, and mylar bags. Everything you need to get started. We are very happy customers!

I am a country girl and have always wanted a freeze dryer. I’ve canned all my life and gardened. This has been the best added product for our life style. I’ve had a few hiccups along the way, but patients persevered. With harvest rights technical support we have been able to fix all problems the biggest being a vacuum era. I am more comfortable with my machine now due to all the work they had me do to locate the vacuum leak. I feel confident now, and going forward if I would have another breakdown I can fix or trace the problem myself. Looking forward to this summer’s harvest and all the snacks I can make along the way the grandkids nieces and nephews love their snacks.

We ordered our first freeze dryer and it took it a bit to come in due to high demand! We understood, it came and the delivery was kind and helpful! We unloaded the machine set it up and did our first bread run and have had no issues. We absolutely love our harvest right. So much to the point we have now purchased a second one. Thank you harvest right ! The second one came within two weeks! We love our machines and the products that came with it such as trays and our sealers.

Yes it expensive but well worth it. I have saved so much money by not throwing food away. We purchased the medium at the end of gardening season (September) so I am super excited to have it for the entire season this year.

We bought our freeze dryer in Oct '21 and it has been a work horse!

Our machine worked great right out of the box and we were able to freeze dry LOTS of foods and treats!

It's great to save extra food we get on sale by freeze drying and saving for later.

We have run about 140 loads and have had absolutely no issues until all of a sudden, our demister started allowing a lot of oil mist into the air.

We are working with Harvest Right to resolve the problem and look forward to MANY more loads!

(Harvest Right offered me an incentive for my honest review.)

I purchased a second hand freeze dryer which works as expected. I got the large one and had to wait for an electrical to put in a dedicated 110 plug. works like a charm now. I even called customer service to get the updated driver for the candy mode and he emailed me the correct one. It was a bit confusing on the website so I was happy they helped me figure it out and that I can't use any larger than a 16 MB thumb drive. good to know! Thanks Harvest Right!

I’ve had my freeze dryer for a few years and I love it. I can buy in bulk and freeze dry what I will not use right away. When there’s a sale on apples, I will buy 25 pounds of apples to freeze dry. I will make large quantities of chili, and freeze dry that. We have also done custard(for those of you that do not know custard it’s like ice cream). I have also done lasagna, spaghetti, beef, stew, skittles, cheese, pizza, corn, asparagus, broccoli, basil, oregano, and the list goes on. I have also done peeps like the kind you put an Easter baskets and the kids just love those. Harvest Right has also been very helpful when I’ve had issues with my machine. Any parts that I have needed have been shipped out to me within a few days. I own the large machine with the oil less pump. Customer service has been awesome anytime I’ve called. Thank you, Harvest Right.

We recently bought a harvest right freeze dryer. Our first run was unsuccessful but we had amazing help from the people at harvest right and quickly and efficiently got the problem resolved and are up and running. So far our freeze dryer is wonderful and the customer service has been great! Will recommend to anyone!

We purchased our freeze dryer and up to this date have completed 64 cycles. Our dryer is the medium size one and the support from Harvest Right is outstanding. We had a couple of issues but they were successfully and expediently resolved by the support team. Harvest Right dryers are such a valuable way to store food for years. We have recommended the units to all of our friends and currently seven have purchased their own dryers.

I bought the medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer, and it is hands down one of the best investments I've made. It was very simple to set up and get started. That being said, you need to understand it is not a turnkey device. You have to maintain the vacuum pump (which means filtering the oil after every few batches). This is not hard, but it is necessary to maintain the pump and keep the freeze dryer working properly. I was very surprised at how quiet the machine runs. Sure it is not silent, but I expected it to be much louder. Freeze dryers also generates a lot of heat, so I keep a small fan blowing in the room when I use the freeze dryer. This keeps the heat down as well as improves the drying time. Finally, when it comes to freeze drying, practice makes perfect. I am very happy I made this purchase, and look forward to the many benefits expect to enjoy for years to come.

This product is the coolest thing I have ever seen. It's so much fun to come up with meals to prepare to freeze dry, and any problem that we have encountered (every time it's been operator error) has swiftly been addressed by their customer service department. I would recommend this to anyone who is preparing for the inevitable nuclear winter we are facing, or, more likely, extended power outages. Freeze dried candy is absolutely a hit with my coworkers, and its so fun to eat!

Love this freeze dryer! I have mostly used mine for freeze drying fruit. I use them for long term food storage, but always put some aside for us to snack on. My grandson (and everyone else) is a huge fan. It’s a nutritious snack I feel good about feeding him and he eats it up like candy! I have only had one issue with my machine’s menu display not coming up. I called Harvest Right and they walked me through updating the software. It works like a charm once again. I am very pleased with the freeze dryer and the Harvest Right customer service.

I have been happily stocking up on diabetic-friendly freeze dried meals instead of worrying about food shortages. This peace of mind has come at a price, but if food becomes cost prohibitive or unavailable in the future, my family and I may have less money in our pockets but we'll have food on our plates. Harvest Right's freeze dryer makes this food stockpiling so easy I hardly feel like I'm putting in much effort. I have wanted the freeze dryer for years. Now I'm wishing I had bought one sooner.

I am super happy to have a home freeze dryer! We had one hiccup, where the epoxy plug had a leak, but harvest right had online trouble-shooting guides, videos, and their customer service was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would love to purchase an additional unit if I had the money, but don't right now.

I have had a medium HR freeze dryer for the past 4-5 months. Have reliably freeze dried numerous batches without issue. Did have a few issues very early on that were user error. Luckily, support staff is kind and patient, helped me through everything. Because the machines are complex and troubleshooting can take some time and expertise, support staff isn't always available immediately, but they will schedule a time that is convenient for you.
