As you can see, the capacity more or less doubles with each model but the cost does not. The larger models use more energy to process the larger batches of food as well, so don’t neglect energy costs when you compare these as that impacts efficiency as we discussed earlier.
I hope this can assist you in making a wise purchasing decision on the size and type of freeze dryer that fits your food processing plan best.

You may want to go the pre-packaged route if your budget and time resources don’t make sense for owning your own machine. Freeze-dried food suppliers are still a great idea for maximizing your emergency food shelf-life. Typically, those are over $10 per pound of food depending on the type.
For us, the advantages such as preserving surplus garden produce and taking our emergency food stores to a whole new level, vastly outweigh any inconveniences.
These tools not only improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the freeze-drying process but also open up new possibilities for preserving a wide range of products with exceptional quality and shelf life.
It is always a relief when something this hefty arrives without a scratch – especially when you are shelling out thousands of dollars!
