Do you take apart all freeze dryers. Think this a bais video!

Can you just get the plug and reset button that is connected to the shelves? My wires we pulled from the plug and the reset button cracked

Where is the actual thermistor located? I’m getting mid batch freezer error. Traced the issue to the reset button, trays warm up in test mode if it’s held down, but the button arcs/sparks and continuity is inconsistent. Is the thermistor build into the reset button?

I have an xl that’s 1 1/2 years old. It keeps getting stuck in the freeze cycle. It won’t move in. It’s been running for 89 hrs, just freezing. I tried to warm trays and it stays at -7

I bought a Harvest Right. Within 1 year, multiple breakdowns and two trips back to Utah from Maine! It is 15 months old and they tell me they know what is wrong but do not have the part needed to fix it and no ETA and now want to send a scratch and dent special with only a 90 day warranty! Guess I should have a UA-cam channel so I get a new one...lol I am not the only person having difficulties. The FedEx freight man who picked the machine up told me that he has had to return quite a number of them. My crops now have to be canned, dehydrated or conventionally frozen and who knows when I will get this machine back. This was a huge financial commitment for me and all I have is frustration to show for it. I tried my best all along to be understanding- things do break, but this is uncalled for. I love the process- it's fantastic and I have asked them to take a part out of one of their existing units, or send me a new one and recondition mine and sell that.... but that is not their "policy". When I recover financially from this experience, may try StayFresh. I had considered selling some product but I sure am glad I did not try to develop a market and then have nothing to process the product with. Do your research.

I just got mine. Quick question, the top of my door hinge has the screw with what appears to be a cap, but the bottom doesn't. Is yours like that? Thank you.

If I go into functional testing and click on freeze, heat, or vacuum it will turn that item on, but the unit and screen locks up. I can't turn it off or exit. I have to turn the main power off to reset. What's wrong?

I'm having issues with my bottom tray (when doing candy) the candy doesn't puff up much if at all...

Useless clickbait.

What does lowering the mTorr do? I just got a large. I am doing the bread right now. It is running 438 mTorr now

OMG I am dizzy from all the back and forth in the comments.... BOTTOM line?? Were there enough improvements made to BA to make them worth it??????

What size machine is that Stay Fresh, a Large? Thanks

So, do I need to run the pump for 60 minutes before using the machine? Do I run the pump alone or connect it to the machine? Thank you.

LVE THIS CHANNEL. ARE YOU IN UTAH BY CHANCE? ok everyone, I cannot get a responds with the ticket I submitted to HR, ALL I NEED IS THE CANDY MODE software update. I’m curently running software v5.0.16 and on their website it states V5.0.25 version is available for my machine. I downloaded it from there website and it’s not rocket science in terms of uploading it to the HR machine, BUT it won’t update to it. So got a tech guy and yep still won’t update to this latest software. WHAT GIVES???? So submitted ticket but not responds. Anyone have any thoughts .Thanks model HRFD Pmed Bk. Date code is May of 2021

My freeze dryer is brand new I have only run three batches successfully, the bread run, my first candy run, and then a second candy run. I went to do my first freeze run of ice cream sandwiches and this is when the temp reached -25 and climbed to -50 then shot back down and all over the place. I will be running the function testing when I get home today to see the results. It then poped up a screen that said unable to get an accurate temp reading. Any suggestions

Thank you

I was experiencing long cycle times also. HR said i was overloading. Had 40 lbs shrimp in my XL, peeled deveined and pre frozen. Took 84 hrs. Then i did 4.5 gal tomato sauce, 92 hrs. I understood this one because it wasn't pre frozen, but the shrimp run shocked me. I have thermometers on each tray stuck in largest piece on each run. The temperature never matches display until the end when heaters are on. Sometimes 40 degrees off. I also installed a high quality vac gauge inline, display vac never matches it either. I have zero vac leaks, it will hold for hrs with pump off. It holds near perfect vacuum at all times. My gauge reads in mT and inHg. So it shows single digit mT when pump is on. But i dont recall display ever getting below 450mT.

Wow, such a biased review. I'm in the market for a machine and considering all vendors at this point, but this review isn't going to sway me one way or the other. Seems like he has an axe to grind, awful..

Don’t touch product with your hands directly

Nobody can see anything because you failed to train the camera on anything you were talking about...

Is there an actual review in this? How about batch speed comparison to others? Replacing parts seems to be easy with removable panels, maybe you should go to their site and see actual replacement parts section (none for the other manufacturers). This is probably the worst "review I seen in a ling time.

What is m torr? I have no idea and am brand new to this machine. Why would I want to move my m torr down to zero. How does it affect the freeze drying 😊

My guess is you live in anchorage and voted for biden 😂😂

Glad I didn’t listen to this doofus before buying my large blue alpine.

where is the best place to get parts for the machine!

What is the temperature of the shelves when sublimating?

I just bought a 2018 HR medium FD. When i touch the leaf it takes me To the liquid or non-liquid selection screen. It doesn't take me to a functional test screen. Is that a development since 2018?

How can I buy?

Xl unit down for refrigeration failure after 10 months of use. Paid extra for the stainless steel (cosmetics). Now they have had it for over a month and cannot provide an estimated completion date, open refusal to provide when asked,, they have said they already have been waiting weeks on parts (not my problem), then they said they could send me a refurb unit with dents and scratches, but iterate that it's functional. I've taken good care of my machine and paid a premium for cosmetics and they act like accepting a unit with undefined damages to it is a fair tradeoff for selling a machine that can't last a year with advertised warranties. I wait till the end of the world for my machine to get fixed, or I accept a potentially lower value unit. Dosent seem like how warranties ought to work.

Where is your 20 minute take apart of the other machines ? I would like to watch them

If stay fresh was the same price as harvest right i'd be great but it's not. A medium harvest right is about $2750 with the 5% coupon vs a stayfresh at $4000.

Could you point me in the area my issue could be at? I hit the defrost cycle and it starts. I don't know when this happens but then the machine looses all power. No green light or anything. Unplug it for like half an hour and it will power back up and states a previous cycle didn't complete. This is the defrost cycle. I hit it again and again I come back after an hour or so and the machine is powered off. Would this be relay board or is it something else? Could the heater be bad and is causing an over current event? Please help.

I got a stay fresh this past may...I LOVE IT... I have been running it 3x's a week every week since I got it...I did have one issue and Tim immediately fixed it and he thanked me for calling the issue to his attention and it has now been fixed on all the machines produced since...I HIGHLY recommend this machine..

Only have had my SF for a week but what a unit. 😅

I’m leaning towards the stay fresh, but on their website why is it cheaper to buy one thru the 12-month payment plan as compared to just buying it? It’s roughly $100 cheaper on the payment plan, shouldn’t it be more expensive if you’re making payments? Do they still ship it right away or I’d have to wait a year to save 100 bucks?

I have a medium Harvest Right that is 2 1/2 years old and it has problems that I can't figure out! It is a maintenance headache,Calling Harvest Right and trying to talk to someone for help is a expensive time wasted joke! I will hsve to trash it and go to Stay Fresh I wonder if they take trade in's?

3 times ive contacted stay fresh to ask how much for the shipping to the UK and 3 times got no answer

I wonder why there is another guy on a different channel promoting the Harvest Right equipment😅

My pump just died; 3 months shy of 3 years. I watched Phil at 4800 ft video on taking it apart and replacing some parts called HR and they won't sell the parts. They want me to either buy a refurbished one or send mine in for starting $90 plus I pay shipping $37 and no guarantee they can fix it. I think it's terrible they monopolize on the pump and a person can't work on their own. So now I have to wait till I have funds to buy another pump. Grrrr frustrating.

Shoot clicked the link and it is no longer available. My friend has a Large HR FDr and this is his problem and they can't seem to fix it.

👍👍👍👍👍

I'm the proud owner of a StayFresh Mega thanks to your video from a few months back talking about their new machine (I didn't follow StayFresh at that time). I've been pumping food throught that thing and she's a work horse. It's a great asset to have on the farm, or for anyone that produces their own food. I couldn't imagine having anything smaller either she gets alot done.

Sure do wish there was a way to try the expensive freeze dryers before buying. I have bout 2 brands and am not pleased with either so I am out that money.

They need to supply a parts list with numbers. It seems like they are trying to run a racket on repairs for these machines. We have the right to repair in our state. It doesnt require a proprietary technician.

Blue Alpine has exceptional customer service & the freeze dryer I have is awesome!!
