Blue Alpine Medium Select review
Blue Alpine Medium Select Freeze Dryer
By Tom Calder
Blue Alpine's medium unit freeze-dries up to 15 lb a cycle on a standard outlet, and its trays are ordinary 9 x 13 in quarter-sheet size, so pans and mats are easy to find. It comes with an oil pump and a starter set of bags, absorbers and a sealer. The warranty is shorter than Harvest Right's three years, so weigh that.
- Best for
- A medium freeze dryer with standard sheet-pan trays
- Skip it if
- You'd only run it a few times a year
