    You make it look simple enough. Good job.

      It really was surprisingly simple to set up.

    You should never pull a plug from the outlet like you did. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out!

      Thank you, I know I have told my children that too. I do have some old and bad habits like this, I should know better by now especially since I have needed to repair or replace several power cord plugs because they were separating from the plug. I am sure the damaged plugs were the result of this lazy and probably dangerous habit. I will try to be more conscious of what I am holding onto when unplugging power cords in the future. Thank you for pointing this out to me, I did not even realize I had done it, which proves it is a bigger problem for me than I thought it was. Thanks again for your comment and suggestion.

    Do you need a dedicated breaker for the medium one do you know??(

      Yes you do according to this and others videos. 20 amp

      I don't think so, a Blue Alpine medium freeze-dryer draws 9 amps so running it on a 15 amp circuit should be fine. If you are NOT also running something like a toaster or refrigerator on the same circuit. I would probably run as few other things on the same circuit as possible, but a few LLED lights and maybe a phone charger or small radio should be fine. You can try to figure out how many amps each item draws and then try not to exceed more than 80% of the circuit rating. For a 15 amp circuit try not to run more than 12 amps through the circuit especially for a continuous basis. for a short time, you should be fine running slightly more, but if you exceed 15 amps the circuit switch will start to trip or "blow a fuse" and you will need to reset the circuit switch frequently. This would be an indication that you are running too many items on that circuit.
