The Medium Pro Freeze Dryer comes standard with the high-quality Premier Oil Pump. However, for those seeking a more hands-off experience, an upgrade to the Oil-Free Vacuum Pump is available. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.

Premier Pump (Included)
- Robust and reliable performance
- Quiet operation suitable for home use
- Requires an oil change every 20-25 batches

Oil-Free Pump (Upgrade)
- Completely maintenance-free operation
- No oil changes or filtering required
- Slightly louder than the Premier oil pump
💡 Expert Opinion: For most home users, the included Premier Pump is a fantastic, reliable workhorse. The maintenance is straightforward and infrequent. However, if you plan on running your freeze dryer very frequently or simply want the ultimate convenience, the Oil-Free Vacuum Pump is a worthwhile investment that completely eliminates pump maintenance from your routine.
