Kitchen Counter Freeze Drying With a Built-In Pump, Black
Most home freeze dryers need floor space or a cart plus room for a separate vacuum pump. The Harvest Right Countertop 360 fits the whole system, pump and drain pan included, into a cabinet low enough to sit on a standard kitchen counter. It freeze dries 5 to 9 lbs of fresh food per batch, so you can preserve leftovers, garden produce, meals and treats for long-term storage.
The Black finish sits comfortably beside black appliances and darker cabinetry. It is the same machine as the Stainless Steel, Pale Blue and Sage Green versions, with the same capacity and features.
Key Features & Benefits
- 5 to 9 lbs of fresh food per batch — four stainless steel trays (7.11 x 12.6 x 0.75 in) give 358 sq in of tray space, enough for up to 1,500 lbs of fresh food a year at four batches a week.
- Vacuum pump built into the cabinet — the industrial vacuum pump and drain pan sit inside the machine, so nothing extra takes up counter space.
- Compact 17.7 in tall footprint — the cabinet measures 25.8 in wide by 18.5 in deep and runs on a standard 110V outlet.
- Ready to package on day one — ships with 25 Mylar bags, 25 oxygen absorbers, a bag sealer, pump oil, an oil filter and the Guide to Freeze Drying.
- Touchscreen-guided cycles — load the trays and press start; the freeze dryer manages freezing, vacuum and drying and walks you through each step.
Who Should Use the Countertop 360
The Countertop 360 suits households that want to start freeze drying without dedicating a room or cart to the machine, from families building a food supply to gardeners preserving a harvest. Growers can also use it to preserve herbs and other plant material in small batches.
About the Harvest Right Countertop 360
The Countertop 360 is Harvest Right's countertop freeze dryer, sold in Stainless Steel, Black, Pale Blue and Sage Green. It carries a three-year limited warranty, and optional Wi-Fi monitoring through the Harvest Right app is available separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why freeze dry instead of dehydrating or canning?
- Freeze drying freezes food first and then removes the ice under vacuum, so most foods keep their shape, color and flavor and rehydrate well. Harvest Right rates properly packaged freeze-dried food for storage of up to 25 years. Dehydrating uses heat to drive off water, which changes texture more, and canning cooks food in its liquid.
- How is the Countertop 360 different from Harvest Right's upright home models?
- The Countertop 360 is a low, wide cabinet with the vacuum pump and drain pan built inside, so it fits on a kitchen counter with no pump sitting beside it. Upright Home Pro models are taller, use an external pump and offer larger capacities. The Countertop 360 handles 5 to 9 lbs of fresh food per batch.
- How do I set it up for the first time?
- Let the unit stand upright for 24 hours after delivery so the refrigerant can settle, then add the included oil to the pump until it reaches about the three-quarter mark on the sight glass. Close the drain valve, run one test batch of moist bread to confirm everything works, and discard the bread. Harvest Right recommends a dedicated 15-amp circuit.
- What is sublimation?
- Sublimation is ice turning directly into vapor without melting into water first. A freeze dryer freezes food, then lowers the pressure in the chamber so the frozen water sublimates and is pulled away. That process is what lets freeze-dried food keep its structure.
- How often does the vacuum pump need maintenance?
- Harvest Right recommends changing the vacuum pump oil every 20 to 40 batches, which takes about two minutes. Check the sight glass after each batch and filter or replace the oil when it turns cloudy, dark or milky. The included oil filter lets you clean and reuse the oil.
- Can I preserve herbs and other plant material in it?
- Yes. Harvest Right freeze dryers handle garden herbs and other plant material as well as fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, desserts and full meals. Package the finished batch in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to protect it from moisture and air.
