Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

I bought the large stainless steel model. Times are different due to the amount of water within the produce. Pre freezing helps but it can be anywhere from 24-48 hours. I ran 5 dehydrators before getting my FD’er

How are you storing your freeze dried items?
And, (I almost hate to ask this) how much energy does the FD take?

My pump started to fail and one of the sales people told me they don't expect a long life from them. They gave me a new maintenance free one with a slight discount. It was still very expensive! I f you have the money, I'd say buy it.

To add to this, it may well be worth it to skip the harvest right pump all together and get one from Robinaire, those things are absolute monsters that you cannot break and are not any more expensive than the pump that comes with it
