Built to last

I had another brand of freeze dryer that was nothing but a headache. After researching the various manufacturers I decided on StayFresh. It's easy to maintain and built with the consumer in mind. One of the best features is the separate release valve from the drain. Other Freeze Drier valves are also used to drain the water, which makes contamination a big issue.

I had an issue with the industrial pump when it arrived. Contacted StayFresh and had a replacement the next day. Support is awesome.

Quality machine

Well built, solid machine. I’ve made numerous batches and they’ve all turned out perfect. Customer service is excellent. I’m glad I got the industrial pump.

Will buy more

First let me be clear, I do not write reviews for any company ever. But I feel and believe these company deserves one. I will also write my expenses with HR as well.

I am no beginner when it comes to freeze drying. In my 2 years in business I have bought sold used about 28 HR machines I’m down to 3 of them left and I had everything from smalls to XL from home units to Scientific models. I have tried them all none of them come close to the basic model from stay fresh. And the mega unit is on a bench mark of its own. I’m doing my testing on my last XL unit vs the mega and in my testing the mega holds the same of the XL but drys it 25-30% faster than the six tray XL. Because of the food probe built in the machine in the stay fresh units. These save me electricity cost and time for another batch.

Let me talk about the 2 models I got, I got the standard 4 shelf tray with and 7 shelf tray extra. These machine is a power house, I bought 28 trays for these machine only, I been getting 12-14 dry time on 8 pounds of cook proteins, i sometimes do 16 pounds in a 24 hour period. These is truly amazing. The mega unit is huge, it does average 30-36 pounds of food in a 30 hour period. Both machines are truly great. Any advice I can give out for anyone that’s looking to start out, owns a business or just want to make a switch, definitely check out these company. Please do you homework on what are you looking to freeze dried and how often your going to use the machine. The stander basic model is perfect for anymore starters or pros is great and you can add items to the machine when needed to. The mega is great for large batches, ideal for the small to medium sized business out there that want scale up production, great machine will be buying more Mega’s in the near future.

Again I want to thank you for reading these review to the end. I hope these information is helpful in any way shape of form.

Great Freeze dryer

The freeze dryer has been amazing so far. The only issue I have is the support information on the website it hard to find and it feels a little lacking.
