Appreciate the very informative video! Setup seems very manageable and straightforward. DEFINITELY look forward to owning one someday! Again, thank you for sharing…. Thanks to Angela and all of the wonderful sponsors!
Love our harvest right freeze dryer. Have had it for years and it is a workhorse. The premier pump is so nice and quiet. Thank you for doing this video.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I’m so happy (not for the frustrations you had but for your viewing fans like myself) that you tried the other brand and can do an honest experienced comparison of both brands. I am not at a season where I can purchase one yet but because you did this video I will be using your link. ❤
@@RowesRising you said that your looking for a metal table to put it on. What are the benefits of placing it on a metal table as oppose to a table made of any other material?
@katescaringcorner6765 nothing but preference. I’d like a stainless for durability and food prep purposes. I’ve looked at some online but I’m frugal and I have this cart that works fine. I got the cart for my previous FD and it worked well as it was a larger machine (smaller FD capacity but the machine was bigger) and the drain pipe was in a different position than this one. I propped it up on blocks temporarily so that it can drain effectively. But a flat table for trays, work surface in the summer garden months when I’m doing more fresh produce etc would be nice. 🌻🌻🌻
Yay Katie!! How exciting. My husband and I are wanting one also. Hopefully before garden season is in full swing. We will see. Until then I’ll continue to follow your very exciting freeze dryer journey!! 🎉🎉
@@RowesRising good. I’m happy for you!! Question, does that size not require a dedicated electrical line! I’m watching you now and trying to think of where I could fit one dust free. Tiny home and two Golden’s 🦮🦮 😂😂
@Mel-vu9ss this size medium does not require a dedicated outlet. I have it plugged into a normal socket. It’s the larger ones up from this needing the dedicated outlet.
Katie, fantastic walkthrough on setting up the Harvest Right freeze dryer! 🌟 Your step-by-step instructions, especially the initial cleansing run with vinegar-dipped bread, are super helpful. Appreciate the tips on machine maintenance and setup. Excited for more freeze-drying content on your channel. Thanks for making the process so accessible! 🍞❄
*** Edited… I just watched the end of your video. Good to know. Most people in the groups know my aversion to SF because of Colts tactics. I’m really glad that you like HR. I’ve had mine for over 8 years and I still wake up in awe… 😃💕 Wait!, I thought you were sponsored by Stay Fresh? What happened? 😳
@@RowesRising , I w been subbed to since I saw your first SF video. I love your videos. I saw your short about your the people commenting on your hats and scarf’s and I’m so sorry that they act that way. I hope I didn’t come across that way with my FD’r comment. I didn’t mean it to be that way. Even though you used to use SF, I was still thrilled that you were FD’ing. 😃💕
Thank you for sharing that. I did forget to mention it because it didn’t occur to me it would be any other way. Did yours arrive assembled upside down? M
Wish I could say my Harvest Right was awesome but it is not. Within 1 year, multiple breakdowns and a trip back to Utah now for the second time. It is 16 months old and they tell me they know what is wrong but do not have the part needed to fix it and no ETA. 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. I love the process- it's fantastic and I have asked them to take a part out of one of their existing units but that is not their "policy". The freezing part of mine that does not work has a 3 year warranty but what good is that. I guess I wouldn't be as miffed if they had fixed it right the 1st time when it was 9 months old. This latest breakdown started the end of July and now we are in October. I am beyond frustrated with them.
I have owned both. I chose HR over SF because it’s more efficient as far as cycle length, and the vacuum is quieter than SF. SF was alarming loud in my garage- I could still hear it in my house. I could run the HR in my home and not be annoyed but the quiet hum. The SF has more headspace between trays for FDing candy and things that puff up in the process. Otherwise I choose HR. If you have specific questions I can answer?
Good info! What did you do with your first Freeze Dryer? Do you still use it? Did it not work? I was interested in it after you told us about it, almost bought that one.
It still works. The Stay Fresh has a smaller freeze drying capacity and is much louder than this Harvest Right. The HR has more options with sizing, is much more efficient, has more freeze drying space, takes up less room and it’s quieter.🌻🌻🌻
It comes with the trays, vacuum pump, and the freeze dryer as well as the hoses and cords needed for use. There are lots of accessories that can be added.
Have you had any problems with this unit like everyone else yet....I am torn. If I have as much trouble as others with this machine I would be one very angry customer! Still debating
What troubles? So far so good. They have a new pump and machine design. I think they have fixed the kinks. My last machine was really loud and I had troubles with it. But nothing major. Just user error mostly with the StayFresh brand. I have owned both- I prefer this harvest right hands down 🌻🌻🌻
@@RowesRising Vacuum issues mainly lately. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and can fix about anything....problem is with these freeze dryers we shouldn't have to, no matter what brand. Great explanatory video girl, you are a good speaker!
@pamsunstrom2554 thanks!! Yes they have upgraded the pump so maybe folks with the first generation had problems but this new pump seems so be doing well as far as I know. Thanks for watching🌻🌻🌻
Their warranty sucks. They lie about it being 3 yrs it's not. I spent $3600 for a large machine with a leak in the site glass and they won't warranty it so I was going to buy an extra large but that isn't going to happen
@@RowesRising I asked them to fix the leak. It's a not a matter if how simple it is. It's a matter of I have spent $9500 with them and they put out there they have a 3 yr warranty. Well they don't tell you it doesn't cover the pump or most of the components
Ok, let's be honest. I purchased this product a while ago, and we'll it hardly works and breaks down consistently. It impossible to get it fixed and will it's such a hassle it will end up taking up so much time and energy you will lose massive amounts of money. We spent 5 grand for the medium with the oiless pump and them purchased trays and sealers amd etc. Did a cost comparison, and it is way cheaper to buy dried food from the store. What a horrible product and horrible service.
Stay away from these company. I had 28 of there machines and 23 of them I had to fix. The only good machine are the old ones from Gen 1 to Gen 3 are worth buying. The new ones break, custom service sucks, and at that point it’s easier to buy a new machine (that will break again) than fix your broken machine. That’s there new business model, why sell you a machine that will last a life time while I can sell you one that will only last 6 months if that. Good luck if you buy these machines. I sold my machine and I’m going to try stay fresh
Something is fishy with this comment. You must work for Stay Fresh? I already had one of their machines…. I chose harvest right over stay fresh after using both. Good luck with your freeze drying adventures! After a year my Harvest Right is still kicking. I will say the Stay Fresh is a good machine too! It has more head space to freeze dry candy.
@@RowesRisingI wish I worked with stay fresh, damn I wish I work with Harvest right but are ideas don’t Aline. I am curious about you, why do you like your machine. I promise I will be completely unbiased and will listen to any logical answer
@bea3man205 it’s quieter and more efficient. Not as many bugs in the technology. For example I freeze dried colostrum in the SF and it exploded everywhere when it went to vacuum before the colostrum was frozen and that’s after adjusting the vacuum trigger temp. That’s just one instance. May have been user error. SF is much louder. Plus, It was a China ran company that stole technology from HR that really got me to switch. Both companies have China manufactured parts but one is literally run by China and I’m not trying to sellout to Chinese business owners😅
@@RowesRisingafter reading your comment. And giving it 2.3 seconds of thought I think I will message stay fresh. Better yet, I’m going to place an order for 5 Mega unit they have right now. Have a great day 😁

It is so nice and quiet! I’m very pleased so far!
@@RowesRising very informative, thanks. Question? Do you think it is quiet enough to use in an apartment? Thanks
@privita2132 it’s pretty quiet! About as loud as a window A/C unit. It’s much quieter than the brand I had prior.
I am waiting for my ace hardware to receive my medium freeze dryer. I am beyond excited! This was so helpful thank you!
That’s so cool it can be ordered from Ace! We had those back east where we grew up in Virginia. 🌻🌻🌻

steer clear of this customer service is very bad, also they don't honor what the sell, look out this is a paid sponsor
I agree with you 100%
@@josephcriddle1991 so then I’m definitely curious what brand you would recommend.
@@RowesRisingthere is a company called blue alpine. That would probably be the company. There is also a company called stay fresh
@josephcriddle1991 I’ll check out Blue Alpine- haven’t heard of it before. I already have experience with StayFresh.
False accusations destroy credibility. Maybe YOU are paid by a competitor.
It's the pump, isolate that with a cooling fan. Silent running
Katie make sure you check your freeze dryer rack, the orange pads go on top of the trays, not underneath. Just an Fyi

You had a different brand… I’ll watch this and hope you address that.
This video is you unboxing your Harvest Right...where is the "freexe dryer review comparing stayfresh & harvest right"???
I have owned both. I chose HR over SF because it’s more efficient as far as cycle length, and the vacuum is quieter than SF. SF was alarming loud in my garage- I could still hear it in my house. I could run the HR in my home and not be annoyed but the quiet hum. The SF has more headspace between trays for FDing candy and things that puff up in the process. Otherwise I choose HR.

Hello I should have waited to comment until the end. Thanks for the comparison. 👍
Hi Brandee!! If you have any other questions I’d be happy to answer. Thanks for watching🌻🌻🌻
Good info!
What did you do with your first Freeze Dryer?
Do you still use it?
Did it not work? I was interested in it after you told us about it, almost bought that one.
It still works. The Stay Fresh has a smaller freeze drying capacity and is much louder than this Harvest Right. The HR has more options with sizing, is much more efficient, has more freeze drying space, takes up less room and it’s quieter.🌻🌻🌻
What all does it come with?
It comes with the trays, vacuum pump, and the freeze dryer as well as the hoses and cords needed for use. There are lots of accessories that can be added.
Hi. I'm looking to buy this for a home business. Would you recommend it?
Absolutely! After owning two different brands, I prefer this one. It’s quiet and efficient.
Absolutely not!
@@debmerrill9798 why not ? Explain please ?
Thnx for the video!
What is your experience with "Stay Fresh"?
I liked my stay fresh. It ran louder than this one. And it wasn’t as efficient time wise. They may have made improvements since the model I owned.
Have you had any problems with this unit like everyone else yet....I am torn. If I have as much trouble as others with this machine I would be one very angry customer! Still debating

It still works.
@@RowesRisingwhy did you go with HR instead of another Stay Fresh? 🤷🏻♀️
Whoops!, I just watched the end of the video. 😃💕
I have a hard time understanding why you think harvestright is better than stayfresh
@Mr._Craig have you owned both? Do you have experience with both? Because I do!
@Mr._Craig it’s more efficient time wise, it holds more food, and it’s quieter. I said these things in my video. 😅
Was your FD a promotion for reviewing it? Online it doesn't list all the accessories you showed. No extra trays, mats, etc.
I got the accessories separate from the machine but they all arrived at the same time.
Notice how she doesn’t answer your question. Of course it’s a promo
I thought you had a freeze dryer already...am I missing something?
I was affiliated with a different brand. I’m a Harvest Right affiliate from here forward🌿 I’m loving it!!
Their warranty sucks. They lie about it being 3 yrs it's not. I spent $3600 for a large machine with a leak in the site glass and they won't warranty it so I was going to buy an extra large but that isn't going to happen
