Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Reviews

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!

I have owned my Harvest Right medium FD for about a year. Yes, it was a big investment for me but it has given me so much peace of mind in our looming food crisis. I feel fairly confident from the food I have been freeze drying compared to what is commercially on the market, the machine has probably already paid for itself.

Great company! I needed some technical support when I ran the first batch. Katie was great to work with and very helpful!

I didn't know much (anything) about freeze drying until a friend let me try some apples, cherries and strawberries. The amazing flavor hooked me.

I admit, I struggled with the idea of investing $3000+ on a freeze dryer. Upon pulling the trigger, the first batch was peaches, as they were just coming in in our area. Wow! The investment was worth it!!

The machine is fully automatic, telling you, on screen, each action to take...even reminding you to "close the drain valve". Easy, peasy.

Last, I wasn't quite getting down to less than 500mTorrs during my initial testing, so I opened a trouble ticket with Harvest Right. They couldn't have been more responsive. A few simple things (not mentioned in the checklist) and my unit is working flawlessly. Excellent customer service after the purchase.

I purchased my Harvest Right freeze dryer in April of 22 and already have used it many times. It has been so easy for me to use. I am a paraplegic and I can’t safely preserve food by canning but with the freeze dryer I can easily preserve food and for a much longer time than canning. I can’t get over how easy it is to use and how good the food taste. I have especially enjoyed freeze-drying apple slices from my own apple tree. They taste so good and fresh.

I purchased a medium freeze dryer in spring of 2022. It has been a great investment, especially for the garden harvest this year. We also love having apples and other fruits to snack on. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to preserve food, but also to just have fun with it.

We bought a medium freeze dyer in late 2020 and have loved it. The freeze dried food is fantastic. We have had a couple of minor operational issues, but Harvest Right helped us resolve them fully. I hope they keep refining their systems.

I have had my Harvest Right FD for a month now. To know how much I have been using it, it reminded me I needed to change the oil. Since I didn't know what to do about the reminder, I called Harvest Right, and they told me exactly what to do. So, not only is the FD a great buy, their customer service goes above and beyond without making you feel like and idiot.

It a learning process. I do love the taste and how easy it is to us. The customer service is great.

Henry was so kind and pleasant. He helped with my questions and made me even more excited about freeze drying

We love our freeze dryer!! We’ve found it perfect for preserving fruits and vegetables and allowing us to just toss it on a shelf! No canning jars to cautiously place on secure shelf space, no freezer space taken, and they store for years!

Buying the large Harvest Right freeze dryer was the best decision I’ve made!! Where I live we produce a ton of fresh fruit and veggies, I love that I’m able to preserve them this way. I prefer to eat stuff as is out of the freeze dryer because the texture is something else!

We bought our freeze dryer some years ago. It has been efficient and functioning well. We bought the lowest end junk pump and still got years out of it before having to replace it. Our machine ran non-stop for a year and a half. The only time the pump wasn't running was during defrost cycles and refreeze. Even still it runs three or four times a week.

It has served us well and we have many stacks and boxes and barrels filled with freeze-dried items.

Purchased a large freeze dryer in July 2022. Absolutely love it! I've done multiple batches of garden produce as well as foods that can be used for backpacking. I did have an issue with the acrylic door looking like it was shattered internally.

Called Harvest Right. They were extremely efficient in responding to my concern, and a new door is already on its way. I've also purchased a set of lids for my trays as well as an additional set of trays. By the way...freeze dried watermelon is absolutely delicious!

I have had my Harvest Right for a little under a year. My experience has been nothing but great! All of my food has turned out to be well preserves with no mechanical failures.

I will offer a bit of constructive feedback which would be to include some kind of cleaning kit for the the inside of the unit and tray holder. Also some better information and instructions for the pumps themselves! Although you can find this information online if you look well enough, it would be nice to have a kit and a manual for general maintenance upkeep!

However I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my over all experience with the unit and customer service!

Love my Harvest Right freeze drier. Excellent quality. Efficient machine and very user friendly.

I got my FD a week ago and already have done three batches. I dried figs, bananas, peaches, plums, melon, watermelon, tomatoes, cheese, kefir, crackers, guacamole, ice cream sandwiches. I had more ideas but my large FD is smaller than my fantasy. Though I have plenty of time to try all my ideas. I have to say that everything I did turned out exceptionally well. Figs after rehydration became as good as if I picked them from the tree. Peaches were also good. Cheese, kefir, guacamole after rehydration cannot be distinguished from fresh: they have exactly the same texture are taste. The rest I like better when they are dried. My kids love it and eat faster than I seal in mylars. FD is working nonstop and I keep preparing emergency food. This was my best investment. Worth every penny!

I have had my medium Harvest Right freeze dryer for four months now, and I am beyond happy with it. We originally purchased it as an alternative to canning, dehydrating and freezing garden produce. The quality of the freeze-dried product is so much higher than those more traditional methods (nutrition, color, shape). The amount of space I save not having to keep jars of canned goods has been significant. The thing I wasn’t expecting was how many leftovers I would be able to freeze dry, and then have ready to go meals for traveling! Customer service with Harvest Right is top notch. My minor concerns have been addressed and resolved quickly and professionally. If you are considering purchasing a freeze dryer, I would highly recommend Harvest Right!

My Wife and I purchased the large freeze drier back in the middle of August was told that would received earlier than expected on September 12. started to use after waiting 24 hrs first batch was tomato took awhile till they where dried out but came out great. second batch we did raspberries big difference in the amount of time to completion. We love the freeze drier will make good use of it. Also had to call at first for help and we got very good help. Satisfied

We purchased the medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and it has been woking non stop since we set it up. The food tastes so fresh after it is processed. It is everything we were hoping for and more. We had a small issue with the impulse sealer not working properly. The company promptly sent us a replacement. We could not be happier with our freeze dryer!
