Debated quite a long time but after reading many reviews, asking many questions and much consideration I finally purchased my med freeze dryer in Dec 22. I love the convenience and versatility freeze drying offers for great taste as well as long term food preservation along with canning, freezing and dehydrating. The freeze dryer is fantastic quality, very easy to operate, has worked flawlessly so far and trim leaf has been amazing to work with and great customer service from Albert. So happy with my purchase. A big purchase but I have Zero regrets
