Harvest Right Countertop 360 Freeze Dryer

Harvest Right Countertop 360 | Countertop Freeze Dryer for Home Use Freeze drying (the process of removing moisture under vacuum so food keeps its flavor, nutrition, and texture for up to 25 years) used to mean commercial equipment and a spare room. The Harvest Right Countertop 360 fits on a kitchen counter and handles 5 to 9 lbs of fresh food per batch, covering everything from garden vegetables and fruit to meat, dairy, and desserts. Setup is straightforward: plug it into a standard 110V outlet on a dedicated 15-amp circuit, load the four stainless trays, and press start. The machine beeps when it's done, no monitoring required. 5-9lbsVolume Processed Per Batch 1,500lbsVolume Processed Annually 1,600WWattage 4traysNumber of Trays In Detail The Countertop 360 freeze dryer's touchscreen does more than display status, it actively manages refrigeration, vacuum pressure, and heating in sequence, so the machine adapts to what's on the trays rather than running a fixed timer. That matters because a tray of fresh strawberries and a tray of cooked meat have very different moisture loads. The system continuously monitors all three systems while it runs, and the touchscreen guides you through any step that needs your attention. For beginners, that means less guesswork and more consistent results from the first batch. Touchscreen guides you step-by-step through setup and each cycle Continuous monitoring of refrigeration, vacuum, and heating while running Automatically adjusts the process rather than relying on a fixed timer Compatible with vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, desserts, and full meals Optional Wi-Fi lets you check progress from your phone via the Harvest Right app 24/7 in-app support plus recipes and tips to help you get the most from each batch See It in Use Give It a Permanent SpotAt 110 lb, the Countertop 360 is not an appliance you put away after dinner. Clear a space 25.8 in wide and 18.5 in deep, with 17.7 in of height, and leave it there. The pump is built into the cabinet, so the only other thing it needs is a 110V outlet on a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Four Trays, One ButtonSlide in the trays, close the door and press start. The touchscreen takes it from there, and the machine beeps when the batch is done. Each batch takes 5 to 9 lb of fresh food, and Harvest Right rates the machine at 1,500 lb a year. Choose Your Finish The Countertop 360 sits on your counter all year, right beside the stand mixer and the good cutting board. Four finishes, same machine underneath.

Pale BlueA soft blue that brightens a white kitchen. Sage GreenA muted green that pairs with wood, plants and cream cabinets. Features One-Button Operation Press start and the Countertop 360 runs the full freeze-dry cycle automatically, beeping when the batch is finished. Touchscreen Process Control The touchscreen display manages refrigeration, vacuum, and heating automatically, guiding you through each step. Pump Oil Sight Glass A built-in sight glass lets you check the vacuum pump's oil clarity and level at a glance. Enclosed Water Capture System An internal tray and filter capture moisture released during drying; a removable drain pan makes cleanup simple. Airtight Chamber Door The chamber and door latch firmly shut, creating the airtight seal the vacuum pump needs to freeze-dry effectively. Pump and Upkeep No Pump on the CounterThe Countertop 360's vacuum pump sits behind this door, inside the cabinet, and never takes up counter space. A sight glass on the front shows the oil level and clarity at a glance. Oil Change Every 20 to 30 BatchesRun a batch a week and that is two or three times a year. Filter the old oil or replace it. The First Fill Is in the BoxThe pump takes about 1.7 cups of oil, and a bottle comes with the machine. Day one does not wait on a second order. Water Comes Out in a TrayThe moisture pulled from your food ends up in a removable tray. Lift it out and clean it after a batch.

Frequently Asked Questions What electrical setup does the Countertop 360 need? It runs on 110V and draws 1,600W, so Harvest Right recommends a dedicated 15-amp circuit, a separate outlet not shared with other appliances. How hard is it to get started on day one? Not hard, but don't skip the prep. Let it sit for 24 hours after delivery, add the included oil to the pump, then run one test batch of moist bread. After that, load the trays, press start, and follow the touchscreen. How much food can it actually handle over a year? Five to 9 lbs per batch, and the specs list 1,500 lbs annually, roughly enough to keep pace with a serious home garden or a family that preserves food regularly. When and how do I maintain the vacuum pump? The pump's oil needs filtering or replacing every 20 to 30 batches. The sight glass on the pump lets you check clarity at a glance so you're never guessing. Is this the right size for my kitchen? At roughly 26 inches wide and 18.5 inches deep, it takes up meaningful counter space and weighs 110 lbs, so you'll want a permanent, sturdy spot rather than moving it in and out of a cabinet. What do I need to buy beyond the machine itself? The kit includes the vacuum pump, impulse sealer, 25 Mylar bags, 25 oxygen absorbers, four stainless steel trays, oil filter, pump oil, the Guide to Freeze Drying, owner's manual, and power cord, everything to run your first batch. Can I monitor a batch without standing next to the machine? Optional Wi-Fi connectivity lets you check batch progress from your phone, and the Harvest Right app provides 24/7 support alongside recipes and tips.
