Strawberries, mango, pineapple, and blueberries retain vibrant colour and natural sweetness. Reconstitute perfectly or enjoy straight from the bag.

Beef, chicken, lamb, and fish preserved with no refrigeration required. Up to 25 years shelf life when packed correctly in Mylar with oxygen absorbers.
Best: Large or XLFull Cooked Meals
Soups, stews, curries, pasta dishes, and rice meals. Freeze dry in portions for camping, emergencies, or fast weeknight meals — just add water.
Best: Large 7-TrayDairy & Eggs

Best: Medium 5-TrayTips & Guides
Getting the Most from Your Freeze Dryer
Size GuideThe right size comes down to how much food you want to process per week and how much bench/floor space you have available.
- Medium 5-Tray (4–9 kg/batch, 458×594×795 mm) — the most popular starting point. Fits most kitchen bench depths. Handles fruit, veg, dairy, and herbs well. 60 kg unit weight.
- Large 7-Tray (7–13 kg/batch, 595×703×1010 mm) — suits families preserving bulk fruit, full meals, or building a serious food store. 102 kg. Requires a dedicated space.
- XL 7-Tray (10–15 kg/batch, 618×914×979 mm) — same XL chamber as the 10-tray but with 7 trays. Good if you plan to upgrade trays later. 124 kg. Pre-order.
- XL 10-Tray (12–20 kg/batch, 618×914×979 mm) — maximum home or commercial throughput. 130 kg. Needs solid flooring and a 240V dedicated circuit. Pre-order.
- Home vs Commercial — for most households, the Home line is ideal. If you're running a food business or plan to operate continuously, choose Commercial.
Pro TipPre-freezing your food in a standard chest freezer before loading the chamber can cut your LYVN cycle time by 2–4 hours.
- Freeze food solid first — load trays into your regular freezer overnight before transferring to the freeze dryer. This skips the initial freezing phase.
- Slice uniformly — pieces of even thickness dry more consistently. Aim for 6–10 mm slices for most produce; thinner for dense meats.
- Don't overfill trays — a single layer with a little breathing room gives better airflow and more even sublimation than a packed tray.
- Liquid-rich foods — soups and stews should be frozen in your regular freezer in the tray itself before starting the cycle. This prevents spills and speeds the process.
- High-sugar fruits — strawberries, mangoes, and grapes take longer due to sugar content. They may need an extra 4–6 hours. Set a custom cycle.
Must DoThe freeze dryer does the hard work — but proper packaging is what actually delivers multi-decade shelf life. Oxygen and moisture are the enemies.
- Use Mylar bags (7 mil minimum) — thinner bags allow oxygen to permeate over time. OzFarmer stocks heavy-duty 7 mil Mylar in multiple sizes.
- Add oxygen absorbers — use 300cc absorbers for 500ml bags, 500cc for 1L bags, and 1000cc for larger containers. Include one per bag, not one per batch.
- Seal while product is still in the bag — heat seal immediately after adding the absorber. Don't let it sit open — absorbers start working on contact with air.
- Label clearly — include food type, prep date, and estimated best-before. A permanent marker on the bag is fine; label tape on the outside is better.
- Store in a cool, dark location — a pantry or dedicated storage room below 20°C significantly extends shelf life. Avoid garages with temperature swings.
Handy GuideLYVN freeze dryers have lower ongoing running costs than many competing brands because the vacuum pump oil can be filtered and reused.
- Pump oil — Robinair Premium High Vacuum Pump Oil is the recommended oil. Change or filter after every 4–6 batches depending on food moisture content.
- Filtering vs replacing — use the included oil filtration kit to reclaim clean oil. You'll only need to fully replace it every 15–20 batches in normal use.
- Demister replacement — the LYVN Replacement Demister ($89.95) suits all pump sizes (Medium through XL). Replace every 6–12 months under normal use.
- Electricity — budget approximately $2.50–$4.50 per cycle at standard Australian electricity rates, depending on model size and batch duration.
- Chamber cleaning — wipe down with a damp cloth after each use. Never use abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel chamber or acrylic door.
Buyer's GuideBoth brands are excellent — the right choice depends on your priorities. OzFarmer stocks both and can advise based on your specific use case.
- LYVN strengths — Australian assembled, built-in WiFi, probe-free chamber monitoring, patented auto pressure regulation, and −50°C condenser. Backed by a local Australian service centre and parts supply.
- Harvest Right strengths — the original home freeze dryer brand, with a long track record and a large community of Australian users. Three pump options (standard oil, premier oil, and oil-free). Strong resale value.
- Warranty and support — LYVN's Australian assembly means faster warranty turnaround and local parts. Harvest Right units are US-manufactured with Australian-based support through OzFarmer.
- Size range — LYVN goes up to a 10-tray XL (20,500 cm² drying area). Harvest Right offers Medium through Extra Large in multiple pump configurations.
- Our advice — if local assembly, WiFi monitoring, and probe-free technology matter to you, go LYVN. If you want the widest community support and proven long-term track record, Harvest Right is an outstanding choice.
