Harvest Right has created the world’s first high quality, affordable Home Freeze Dryer. It is less than one quarter the cost of comparable freeze drying systems, and is easier to use than a microwave.

By not allowing yourself functioning amenities as basic as a fridge or freezer, you’re making life difficult in a number of unnecessary ways. Doubtless, by attending to your basic appliance problems as soon as they arise, there’s so much to gain.

Do you have any vacuum gauges at all to test the pump? ( Though I doubt that is the problem based upon your tests )

When it comes to Harvest Right, they have hundreds, or possibly even more stores (they keep popping up every day) and authorized resellers across the USA and Canada.

4) I made a plastic shield to protect the main circuit board of the FDer. it simply slides into place and protects the top and both sides of the board from condensation.

Oil Changes: This new Premier Pump rarely needs to have the oil changed or filtered. The pump has a gas ballast feature that makes it so water does not stay in the oil. Because of this, the oil in the pump will be pristine and clear, even after 30 or more batches.

A bit of background on me - I used to work in a sold state fabrication lab (university research lab) and had a lot of Know More hands-on work with ultra-high vacuum equipment. The pumping we do for freeze drying was what was required to just start

You can determine when the product is dry by feel or by calculation of the amount of water remaining in the product.

Are we trying to rip people off? On the contrary, our beef cubes are actually an exceptional value considering the four-pack offers 48 adult servings with 24 grams of protein each.

My husband has been contemplating cost effective alternative ways to get oil-less vacuum happening... what would the specs needed be, since I don't have a pump to look at. Hopefully I asked that in a way that makes sense.

If you haven’t already tried fixing the problem on your own, it’s worth a shot. But, when DIY repairs don’t seem to do the trick, then it’s absolutely time to call in an expert.

Presumably you have one of the medium sized units that is used for dried flowers, taxidermy etc - those are most common on the market. Lab supply places have very small ones for scientific samples. Food oriented freeze dryers tend to be factory sized.

It's hardly the most exciting GoPro video for sure, and some may think it's about as interesting as watching a tree grow, but if you really want to see the Harvest Right "in action" in order to understand what's happening (not that there's much to see), this provides a "speeded-up" way to do that!
