Harvest Right Small Pro
The Harvest Right Small Pro is a small home freeze dryer with 4 trays and a published batch capacity of 8 lb of fresh food. It ships with an oil-sealed vacuum pump. The entry point to the largest home freeze-dryer brand: four trays, a Premier oil pump, 50 mylar bags, 50 oxygen absorbers and an impulse sealer in the box. Harvest Right's annual claim comes with its assumption printed — four batches a week, fifty weeks a year. It is the lightest of the 20 home units here, at 91 lb.
