hey everybody David with the freeze dry
0:01
business Channel I made a recent
0:03
purchase for my freeze-dried business
0:04
and that is the stay fresh freeze dryer
0:07
this is a new freeze dryer that's
0:09
different from the Harvest Right freeze
0:10
dryers it's got great reviews it's also
0:12
got new technology that's really going
0:14
to speed up the freeze drying process
0:16
and I'm going to do a full unboxing for
0:18
you in this video share with you
0:19
everything that comes with it I'm really
0:21
excited let's get to it
0:25
all right here's the big reveal for the
0:26
stay fresh freeze dryer let's take a
0:28
look at the freeze dryer
0:32
I'm not going to do a full review of the
0:35
Harvest Right versus the stay fresh but
0:37
I am going to point out some things that
0:39
I'm noticing for the first time that is
0:41
different since I've had a Harvest Right
0:42
freeze drive for the past three years so
0:45
for the stay fresh what I'm noticing is
0:48
the hardware now this is all stainless
0:51
steel that's here to open the swivel of
0:53
the door also right here is a stainless
0:56
steel door handle now the stay fresh
0:59
freeze dryer it's got this very thick
1:01
door made of plexiglass all right let's
1:03
take a look and see what this is so the
1:06
same type of Rubber seal around the
1:10
opening of the chamber now when I made
1:13
this purchase and I did a YouTube short
1:15
on my Channel about the stay fresh
1:17
purchase I did mention why I was looking
1:20
at more of a smaller stay fresh freeze
1:23
dryer than the large harvest rice one is
1:26
the overall weight of product that you
1:28
can put into the freeze dryer which is
1:30
they say it's a Max of about 12 pounds
1:34
in this stay fresh freeze dryer versus
1:35
the Harvest Right large I can do between
1:38
12 to 16. now on harvest rights website
1:41
they say that they can go up to 23 I've
1:43
never been able to do 23 pounds of of
1:45
product I've only been able to do about
1:47
12 to 14 pounds otherwise I'm
1:49
overloading the machine and I end up
1:51
getting some inconsistencies and a lot
1:55
we're going to pull this out inside very
1:58
similar to The Harvest Right
2:00
and you're just gonna there's a drain
2:02
back here for all the water
2:06
and we'll just put this back
2:17
and let's go ahead and put the
2:20
rubber gasket back on all right so on
2:23
the back of this stay fresh freeze dryer
2:25
I've got an on and off switch we've got
2:27
the plug-in for the actual freeze dryer
2:30
as well as the pump now we're on the
2:32
side of the freeze dryer that has the
2:34
drain valve and something that impressed
2:37
me already after looking at this for the
2:39
first time is that the drain valve and
2:42
the pipe is an actual pipe the Harvest
2:45
Right freeze dryer is just a plastic
2:47
tube that's inside here connected to the
2:51
chamber and all the water is running
2:53
through only a a metal piece on this uh
2:57
this toggle for the open and closed
2:59
valve I'm noticing a actual pipe running
3:02
through up into the chamber which I
3:05
think is going to be a long lasting type
3:07
of component all right so now let's go
3:08
ahead and unbox the trays now I ordered
3:11
two sets of trays for myself because I
3:14
know I'm running a business right and
3:16
you want to have multiple different
3:17
trays so you can rotate out products as
3:19
well as freeze them so let's go ahead
3:30
all right so here's the first tray that
3:32
I'm looking at now this is different
3:34
than the Harvest Right that I'm used to
3:37
the side of the trays that are for the
3:42
Harvest Right are a little bit lower but
3:44
for this stay fresh freeze dryer I'm
3:46
noticing a lot more of a little bit more
3:49
weight of the individual tray this is
3:53
smaller than the large but I knew that
3:54
going into it but there are four of
3:57
these trays hey one thing I'm very much
3:59
used to on the Harvest Right per se is
4:02
being able to stack the trays for
4:04
storage purposes so let's go ahead and
4:06
see how these stay fresh
4:08
trays actually stacked so I'm kind of
4:11
just curious how you're able to kind of
4:14
build them so that you can store them in
4:16
wherever you're going
4:17
now this is pretty nice so it just fits
4:20
right snug into there as you can see
4:23
there's they're not falling into each
4:25
other but they're stacking right on top
4:27
I actually like that because in a
4:30
commercial kitchen where my business has
4:32
run out of uh you're supposed to air dry
4:35
all the different trays once you wash
4:37
and I think this provides a lot more
4:39
clear ways for it to air dry versus
4:42
being able to stack inside of each tray
4:45
so this is actually really nice I like
4:47
the the way it stacks and it's good for
4:50
storage all right last but not least
4:51
we've got the pump for the stay fresh
4:53
freeze dryer let's go ahead and get it
4:54
on top of the box and go ahead and unbox
4:58
pretty heavy this is actually a pretty
5:00
fun unboxing because like I said I've
5:03
been running a freeze-dried business for
5:05
three years now and I've only had the
5:08
Harvest Right and I love all the new
5:10
technology that's coming out some of
5:12
this freeze dryers are going to be great
5:14
some of them are going to have their
5:15
issues just like everybody else but I
5:18
haven't found too many bad reviews about
5:19
the stay fresh freeze dryer so I'm
5:21
excited to kind of see we've got
5:22
instructions this comes with it and
5:26
right out of the box for my first time
5:27
reading this what it includes is a
5:29
vacuum pump an Impulse sealer that's all
5:31
that's in here oil filter drain tube USB
5:35
flash drive I'm assuming for the
5:36
software vacuum hose mylar bags plus
5:40
some Sponge tip swabs vacuum hose clamps
5:44
funnel filter papers user manual and
5:47
power cords now this is a k-series
5:51
rotary vein vacuum pump this is a pretty
5:56
I like the way it feels it feels more
5:59
durable it feels like it could be longer
6:01
lasting than some of the other pumps
6:04
that I've used it's got this demister on
6:07
top as well as where to drain the the
6:10
oil and this is where you put the oil
6:12
into the vacuum pump all right that was
6:15
the first video of the full unboxing of
6:17
the stay fresh freeze dryer I'm really
6:19
excited about everything that I'm seeing
6:21
here it's going to be exciting going
6:22
through the operating manual of the pump
6:24
as well as the freeze dryer to do the
6:25
testing so stay tuned for those videos
6:27
that are coming soon where I'm going to
6:29

6:31
dryer as well as looking at the pump and
6:33
