A Really Good Freeze Dryer

I have used a Large Harvest Right freeze dryer since 2018. I now have the Mega Freeze dryer.
1. Stay Fresh Mega vs Harvest Right Large. In my case the build quality is much much better.
2. The Mega does twice as much as the large Harvest Right. Calculated sq inch.
3. It appears to run much faster than my Harvest Right. I can run 30lbs of ground beef in 24 hours start to finish.
4. Not a single problem as of yet. I run one to two batches a week right now. My harvest right also runs one to two batches a week with no problems as of yet. Yes, for years I struggled with low vac alarms on my HR. I programmed it so it no longer does that. Drove me crazy.
5.If I had to choose one to keep and sell the other, I would keep the Stay Fresh over the Harvest Right. Design is much better.
6. Things I would change.
6A. I would put something in the front of the machine to tilt it back so that when defrosting all the water would go to the rear of the machine. I currently use an inflatable wedge for lifting. I do not use the defrost, but instead have found that a small fan blowing into the chamber melts the ice very quickly.
6B. I wish you offered a strong floor table with casters to put that heavy thing on. I made my own and it works great. It sits where my clothes dryer used to sit. When draining I can just roll it to one side and put a 3 gal bucket under the drain line. This freeze dryer is about the size of a clothes dryer so it works really well. Without a caster base, it would not fit there.
For now that is about it. I am glad I purchased the Stay Fresh Mega Freeze dryer.
6C. I wish your vacuum pump drain plug was like Harvest Right. They nailed it on the drain plug. I do however like your filter (works and less expensive) (Industrial Pump)

Wonderful Machine!

II have had the pleasure of using my freeze dryer now for fruit and vegetables with 100% satisfaction. During my learning curve I reached out for help and Jason with StayFresh answered my questions promptly. I am so glad I went with StayFresh and not one of their competitors!
