I would like to have Wi-Fi and a web ui to track progress and change setup. a ESP-32 and open source would ensure its future.

What do you know about the cube? And what about pumps that are internal. No oil changing. Do you think that’s a bad idea because if they do break then the whole machine is messed up?

They say the foam won’t leak like other foams. Doesn’t the replaceable foam mean it is easier to leak? I’m trying to decide which freeze dryer to get. Do you like Stay Fresh best? They are proud of the fact they don’t use teflon tape because they say their system is better and almost never leaks. Maybe it’s the connectors. Not sure when they say teflon tape is unreliable.

My top shelf cooler, middle 3 OK and bottom really cold. None of the trays are ever hot enough to require a hot pad. Set at 125

How did get Mtor so low Jealous

I am a refrigeration engineer planning to build one for myself (as I have the skills/knowledge) so it could save me a lot of money and I could fine-tune the system, too. I would appreciate if you could let me know the compressor model number. Thanks in advance.

Great help. Thank you.❤

It certainly doesn't take 3.hours to do.skittles in my Harest Right.

Do you have a video on the fuse replacement

HI DONALD got s ? for you. what cause the heater mtorrs to change from 500 mtorrs to mid 400's to go into dying mode?last 2 runs this has happen. was always 500 mtorre now around 446motorrs is there a sensor that can go bad?

I’m really impressed with your TH-cam channel! The content you’re creating is top-notch and incredibly informative. The way you present your topics is really helpful for your audience.

Thank you for your video. I am glad I found your content. Thank you for your service, my husband served as well. Please look into Mission 22, my husband went through their Recovery and Resilience program, the program is also for spouses ❤.

What's has taken you to Japan?

What is the thread size of the fresh air filter? Outstanding review, so much detail! Thank you!

Great content. I will keep spreading the word on your business.

The industrial pump is a $735 upgrade. Is it worth the cost for home users (not a business)? How does the sound level compare bn the standard and industrial pumps?

You need to do your homework before critiquing. Learn the function and operational particulars of the machine before you discuss test results (and their meanings), vacuum seals, operation, and wiring. The filter inside the machine is filtering the particulates and some moisture that could go to the vacuum pump. Supporting the extended life of the oil and pump! READ THE MANUAL. It's replaceable, easy to source (and cheap). The drain valve does not go to the pump and that barbed connector will work just fine! So much more to point out about your lack of understanding about these machines. Disappointing. Do your viewers a favor and spend some time to read the manual and research your subject(s). Thumbs down on this one.

I love are Blue Alpine. And I have had Harvest Right before junk.

I’m trying to run tomatoes and I’m getting temps up to 60 degrees down to -8 for 28 hours now. The ice looks lumpy and more ice than normal. Do I just cancel and put my product back in the freezer? Happy I found you and hope you can help. I have more stuff to FD waiting….Help! FYI I did have to pay 45 bucks a year ago to get help from them. Relay issue

Hello, first off I want to say thank you for the tips and even saying that we can send a picture or ask questions. I live in a very remote area with no professionals that will touch my freeze drier. I did the tests that you suggested, the temperature went to -47 degrees so does that mean that my pump is working properly? I have to go down the line of trouble shooting to find why my machine is not building pressure. Thank you for your support. Sue

We have been trying to contact you. The number is constantly busy. The website wont send the email contact because it is not to format which what does that mean? I also sent an email from my email and have not heard from you. We really would appreciate a way to contact you. Thank you!

The big hose that takes the wrench, what do we do for the threads?

My husband performed your fixes for my machine that failed after 3 uses. He did them all. It worked! We got hoses made locally. The "company" was no help and I did NOT install their software they said would fix my problems. My machine now worked. Why would I fix something that wasn't broken? Silly. Thank you for being bold and help so many of us?

Thanks for the video. I heard they started selling that same software that fixes vacuum leaks in the auto parts store now. I guess it fixes oil leaks as well. You can find it next to the blinker fluid and muffler bearings. 😂

Japan 👍

Are you able to talk with me on the phone?

I need help

So did you ever try the D-Freeze or i can't find that video... just researching to purchase a FD in Canada.

Extremely Disappointing Product and Support I purchased the Blue Alpine Freeze Dryer (Large) to support my growing business, but after just three weeks, the refrigeration compressor began making knocking and rattling noises before completely failing. I reached out to customer service, and they requested a picture of the wiring, claiming it was incorrectly installed. After following their instructions to fix the issue, I did some additional research and found a schematic online that confirmed the wiring was indeed incorrect from the start. Customer service also informed me that other customers were experiencing the same problem. I tested the capacitors, which were in good condition, but they sent replacements anyway, along with an additional wiring connector. Unfortunately, these efforts did not resolve the issue. In a further attempt to resolve the problem myself, I purchased a new compressor and electric boards directly from their website, spending an additional $700. However, the company refused to send the parts, leaving me unable to fix the machine. Instead, I was contacted by the owner, who instructed me to pack up the unit, find a pallet, and prepare it for pickup, but this solution does not address the critical impact on my business. I currently have over 45 orders unfulfilled, am forced to issue refunds, and am receiving negative reviews for my own business due to the downtime caused by this faulty equipment. I asked for a replacement unit to avoid further disruption, but that request was denied. As a business owner, I understand that issues can arise, but I believe in doing what’s right for the customer. In this case, Blue Alpine has failed to do so, and their lack of urgency in resolving this matter is incredibly disappointing. I strongly encourage potential buyers to be cautious. This experience has cost me not only financially but has also impacted my business’s reputation due to their inability to provide a reliable product or timely support.

Great video. Where do you get those stainless tables the units are sitting on?

Do you take apart all freeze dryers. Think this a bais video!

Can you just get the plug and reset button that is connected to the shelves? My wires we pulled from the plug and the reset button cracked

Where is the actual thermistor located? I’m getting mid batch freezer error. Traced the issue to the reset button, trays warm up in test mode if it’s held down, but the button arcs/sparks and continuity is inconsistent. Is the thermistor build into the reset button?

I have an xl that’s 1 1/2 years old. It keeps getting stuck in the freeze cycle. It won’t move in. It’s been running for 89 hrs, just freezing. I tried to warm trays and it stays at -7

I bought a Harvest Right. Within 1 year, multiple breakdowns and two trips back to Utah from Maine! It is 15 months old and they tell me they know what is wrong but do not have the part needed to fix it and no ETA and now want to send a scratch and dent special with only a 90 day warranty! Guess I should have a TH-cam channel so I get a new one...lol I am not the only person having difficulties. The FedEx freight man who picked the machine up told me that he has had to return quite a number of them. My crops now have to be canned, dehydrated or conventionally frozen and who knows when I will get this machine back. This was a huge financial commitment for me and all I have is frustration to show for it. I tried my best all along to be understanding- things do break, but this is uncalled for. I love the process- it's fantastic and I have asked them to take a part out of one of their existing units, or send me a new one and recondition mine and sell that.... but that is not their "policy". When I recover financially from this experience, may try StayFresh. I had considered selling some product but I sure am glad I did not try to develop a market and then have nothing to process the product with. Do your research.

I just got mine. Quick question, the top of my door hinge has the screw with what appears to be a cap, but the bottom doesn't. Is yours like that? Thank you.

If I go into functional testing and click on freeze, heat, or vacuum it will turn that item on, but the unit and screen locks up. I can't turn it off or exit. I have to turn the main power off to reset. What's wrong?

I'm having issues with my bottom tray (when doing candy) the candy doesn't puff up much if at all...

Useless clickbait.

What does lowering the mTorr do? I just got a large. I am doing the bread right now. It is running 438 mTorr now

OMG I am dizzy from all the back and forth in the comments.... BOTTOM line?? Were there enough improvements made to BA to make them worth it??????

What size machine is that Stay Fresh, a Large? Thanks

So, do I need to run the pump for 60 minutes before using the machine? Do I run the pump alone or connect it to the machine? Thank you.

LVE THIS CHANNEL. ARE YOU IN UTAH BY CHANCE? ok everyone, I cannot get a responds with the ticket I submitted to HR, ALL I NEED IS THE CANDY MODE software update. I’m curently running software v5.0.16 and on their website it states V5.0.25 version is available for my machine. I downloaded it from there website and it’s not rocket science in terms of uploading it to the HR machine, BUT it won’t update to it. So got a tech guy and yep still won’t update to this latest software. WHAT GIVES???? So submitted ticket but not responds. Anyone have any thoughts .Thanks model HRFD Pmed Bk. Date code is May of 2021

My freeze dryer is brand new I have only run three batches successfully, the bread run, my first candy run, and then a second candy run. I went to do my first freeze run of ice cream sandwiches and this is when the temp reached -25 and climbed to -50 then shot back down and all over the place. I will be running the function testing when I get home today to see the results. It then poped up a screen that said unable to get an accurate temp reading. Any suggestions

Thank you

I was experiencing long cycle times also. HR said i was overloading. Had 40 lbs shrimp in my XL, peeled deveined and pre frozen. Took 84 hrs. Then i did 4.5 gal tomato sauce, 92 hrs. I understood this one because it wasn't pre frozen, but the shrimp run shocked me. I have thermometers on each tray stuck in largest piece on each run. The temperature never matches display until the end when heaters are on. Sometimes 40 degrees off. I also installed a high quality vac gauge inline, display vac never matches it either. I have zero vac leaks, it will hold for hrs with pump off. It holds near perfect vacuum at all times. My gauge reads in mT and inHg. So it shows single digit mT when pump is on. But i dont recall display ever getting below 450mT.

Wow, such a biased review. I'm in the market for a machine and considering all vendors at this point, but this review isn't going to sway me one way or the other. Seems like he has an axe to grind, awful..
