Stay Fresh Home 7-Tray

HomeMedium

The Stay Fresh Home 7-Tray is a medium home freeze dryer with 7 trays and a published batch capacity of 18 lb of fresh food. It ships with an oil-sealed vacuum pump. The 5-Tray's 20 × 26 × 31 cabinet with a seven-shelf rack: 40% more tray area on the same 12 lb ice capacity, so the condenser, not the trays, sets the ceiling on a wet load. Per pound of batch capacity it sits 5th of 16 priced home units here, at about $172/lb.
