Harvest Right [6-Tray] Large Pro Home Freeze Dryer w/ Mylar Kit

The exterior finish is the only difference. This model features a powder-coated steel body with food-grade stainless steel trays, while the Large Pro Stainless Steel has a full stainless steel exterior for a premium look and easier wipe-down. Both have identical capacity, tray dimensions, and processing performance.

The Large Pro processes 18–27 lbs of fresh food per batch across six stainless steel trays (each 9" × 20.5" × 0.75"), yielding approximately 4–6 gallons of freeze-dried food per cycle. It's well-suited for large families, bulk preservation, or anyone looking to reduce the number of cycles needed to build their food storage.

If you're regularly maxing out the Medium's 10–15 lb capacity or find yourself running multiple batches to get through a weekly harvest or grocery haul, the Large is the right step up. At nearly double the capacity per cycle, it cuts your total machine time significantly for the same output.

The Large Pro measures 31.3" × 21.3" × 27.5" and weighs 150 lbs. It runs on standard 110V power using the included ELC-P0002-2 cord — no dedicated circuit required. Allow adequate ventilation around the unit during operation. Extension cords are not recommended by Harvest Right as they may cause issues while the machine is running.

Most cycles complete in 20–40 hours depending on food type, moisture content, and slice thickness. Dense or high-moisture foods like whole fruits take longer than pre-cooked meals or thin slices. The unit runs fully automatically and alerts you when the batch is finished.

The included Premier pump requires an oil change every 20–25 batches — about two minutes each time. If you prefer completely hands-off operation or plan to run frequent back-to-back cycles, the oil-free pump upgrade eliminates all pump maintenance. It runs slightly louder than the Premier pump but delivers the same reliable performance with zero upkeep.

The Large Pro carries a full one-year warranty on the entire unit and vacuum pump. Years two and three extend limited coverage to the sealed refrigeration system — compressor, condenser, evaporator, and tubing. Damage from misuse or neglect is excluded, and consumers cover diagnostic and transportation costs during the limited warranty period. Warranty applies to the continental U.S. 48 states.
