Customer Reviews
Two tips for defrost.
1. Tie a string around the chamber with the knot at the bottom. This will guide the water down the string and into my bucket. Very tidy and quiet.
2. I drilled a hole in the styrofoam packing, push it against the chamber to create a seal. Then use the air pump to clear the drain tube without removing the rack. Some trimming and heat to seal the edges keeps the styrofoam from shedding. Saves time and wear on the cables.
It is a life changer, if you are a type of person who loves being independent, this is a must. I just started and it is very satisfying. All of or friends and family are amazed by it. I must say, I can become a vegetarian with this machine. Wow, the flavors are so good and clean.
I haven't been able to use my FD yet as we are building a "she shed workshop" specifically for freeze drying. with that being said, I inspected everything when came in and all materials seem to be of high quality and even watched a video of how everything is put together and that was a key feature in my reasoning for purchasing a StayFresh over other brands. Customer service has been excellent with all my questions as well as promptly sending me a replacement manual when I misplaced my original one. I am truly excited to get started using it soon.
The customer service is great. He always calls back if you leave a message. I bought the Stayfresh Freezer Dryer on 10/10/2024 with the industrial pump. The freeze dryer has been running great. I'm very happy with the purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for , though the spacing stops certain treats , for food applications it’s great
