Harvest Right

Yes. Trimleaf is an authorized Canadian retailer for Harvest Right freeze dryers and accessories. Purchasing through an authorized dealer ensures your warranty is valid in Canada and that you receive genuine Harvest Right products with full manufacturer support.

The Medium Pro is the top-selling Harvest Right size in Canada. It processes 7–10 lbs per batch across 5 trays on a standard 110V outlet, suits a family of 3–5, and balances output, footprint, and price well. The Large Pro is the most common upgrade for households that process garden-scale harvests or want fewer cycles per week.

Yes. Harvest Right units sold through Trimleaf are fulfilled from Canadian warehouses, so there are no cross-border freight or customs costs for standard models. Importing directly from a US retailer adds brokerage fees and cross-border freight that typically total $400–800 or more depending on unit size, plus potential warranty complications. Buying from Trimleaf means one CAD price, free shipping to most urban addresses, and the full manufacturer warranty.

For buyers who process food regularly, whether from a garden, bulk purchases, or a homestead. The economics are strong. A Medium Pro at $4,195 CAD running weekly batches can preserve several hundred pounds of food per year. The machine earns its cost faster the more consistently it is used. For occasional or seasonal use, a dehydrator is a lower-cost alternative.

The Home Pro is designed for food preservation: fruits, vegetables, full meals, and candy. The Pharmaceutical line uses more precise temperature and vacuum controls suited to botanical extracts, herbs, and materials where hitting a specific moisture target is critical. Both lines are available in Small, Medium, and Large. The Pharmaceutical starts at a higher price point due to the added instrumentation.

Oil pumps create a deeper vacuum and handle high-moisture batches well, but require oil changes every 20–25 batches. Oil-free pumps are quieter, lower maintenance, and better suited to drier loads, but add $900–$1,000 to the price. Most first-time Home Pro buyers start with an oil pump and either upgrade later or stay on oil indefinitely. Both pump types are fully supported under the standard Harvest Right warranty.

Yes, with a few caveats. The Small and Medium Pro both run on a standard 15-amp, 110V outlet and do not require venting to the outside, but the vacuum pump runs at roughly 55–65 dB (about as loud as a portable air conditioner) for the full cycle. Plan for a utility room, garage, or insulated closet rather than a bedroom. Condo owners should also confirm their breaker can handle a 15-amp appliance running for 20–40 hours continuously.

A typical Small Pro cycle pulls 9–12 kWh, a Medium Pro pulls 12–16 kWh, and a Large Pro pulls 16–20 kWh per batch. At Canadian residential rates of $0.12–$0.18 per kWh, that works out to roughly $1.50–$3.50 per batch depending on your province and food load. Oil-free pumps draw slightly more than oil pumps. The XL and commercial units run on 220V and draw proportionally more.

Most cycles run 20–40 hours depending on the food's moisture content and density. Fruits and raw vegetables with high water content take longer, while candy and drier items run shorter cycles. The machine runs unattended and most users start batches overnight or before work. The built-in display shows progress, and the optional Wi-Fi upgrade kit sends batch-complete notifications to your phone.

Units purchased through Trimleaf are covered under the standard Harvest Right warranty for Canadian buyers. Units imported directly from US retailers may not receive the same warranty support in Canada. Contact Trimleaf for warranty service or support on any Harvest Right product purchased through the store.

Every Home Pro ships with a Mylar starter kit. For ongoing use, the essentials are vacuum pump oil (changed every 20–25 batches on oil-pump models), additional mylar bags, and oxygen absorbers for long-term storage. Extra trays let you pre-load the next batch while the current one finishes. The Wi-Fi upgrade kit is optional but useful for remote monitoring. All consumables and accessories are stocked at Harvest Right accessories.

Yes. The Harvest Right Wi-Fi upgrade kit connects your machine to their app for remote cycle monitoring, progress tracking, and batch-complete notifications. It is a retrofit kit compatible with most current Home Pro models. See the Wi-Fi kit guide for compatibility details and installation overview.

Trimleaf carries the full Harvest Right lineup: Home Pro in Small, Medium, Large, and XL (both powder-coated and stainless steel), Pharmaceutical in Small, Medium, and Large, Commercial Scientific in Medium, Large, and X-Large, and the HRC100 Commercial. Accessories including vacuum pump oil, mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, extra trays, and the Wi-Fi upgrade kit are also stocked.
