'Having freeze dried food in your emergency food storage used to mean that somebody else dried it for you. That has all changed. The Harvest Right home freeze dryer allows anyone to make their own freeze dried food storage out of the foods they love and trust the most. Wish you could make your own freeze dried snacks right at home, such as freeze dried blueberries, pineapple, and ice cream? The Harvest Right In-Home Freeze Dryer let\'s you do all of this and more. It is being called \"The Microwave of the Future.\" Learn more here: http://harvestright.com/freeze-drying-at-home/ Appliance Size: 30\" x 20\" x 25\" (about the size of a dishwasher) Weight: Just over 100 pounds Warranty: 1 Year Limited Warranty Power: Standard 110 Volt outlet The machine is designed to be energy-efficient and only draws an average of 11 amps of power per hour. Refrigeration: The appliance uses a refrigerator condenser like what is used in home refrigerators. These condenser work by filling copper coils with a coolant. It is efficient enough to bring food to -45 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. The system is closed, meaning that the coolant only needs replacing in rare cases of damage. Vacuum Pump: The machine also uses a vacuum pump to decrease the pressure in its chamber. This vacuum pump meets refrigeration industry standards and is a proven design that provides years and years of reliable service. Maintenance: The machine requires only one item of regular maintenance, in the vacuum pump. We chose a \"wet\" pump design for our machine (meaning that it uses oil) because they are much more reliable and long-lasting than dry pumps. The pump uses mineral oil, and the oil must be changed about every 10 cycles (uses). Changing the oil is extremely easy to do and can be accomplished in just minutes. Capacity: Dries approximately 2 gallons of food per batch, equivalent to two #10 cans or about 6-10 pounds (before drying). It can easily dry 300 to 400 gallons of food in a year. Cycle Time: One drying cycle last 24 hours. The process is completely automatic and only requires the push of one button. (Original footage courtesy of the The Blaze)'
