Power Requirments
The Large Freeze Dryer uses a 20-amp Receptacle. Most receptacles in a house are 15 amps. So you will need a 20-amp breaker and a 20-amp receptacle. Below is a link to the receptacle that is needed.
What makes us Different:
- These are Built In Idaho with the highest quality components.
- Our refrigeration system uses Cubigel compressors, a trusted name brand with excellent quality and longevity.
- More cooling capacity, which translates to faster batches (twice as fast as competitors with the large model).
- A circulating fan inside the chamber blast-freezes the food, creating better quality food and faster freeze times.
- A P100 filter inside the chamber protects your vacuum pump from particulates, increasing the lifespan of the vacuum pump.
- Smart software utilizes PID control technology and solid-state relays to freeze-dry your food accurately.
- We use a natural refrigerant (R1270) that is future-proof, unlike R404 or R410 which will both be discontinued soon.
- On our machine, all vacuum fittings are barbed fittings. We do not use crimped fittings, which are prone to vacuum leaks.
- We use a gasket material to seal all threads. We do not use Teflon Tape, which is also leak-prone.
- The frame of our machines is made with extruded aluminum and is incredibly durable.
- Recipes built into the software allow you to optimize your freeze-drying cycles. Candy, for example, can get done in about 2 hours. Fruit, on the other hand, takes about 10-18 hours, depending on the load.

Couple years ago I purchased a Harvest Right medium freeze dryer and I could say after purchasing the blue Alpine large. I love the ease Of the settings for the different food groups.

Great communication from the company. Shopping was fast and the contracted delivery company did a great job communicating with us. Freeze dryer was well packaged.

So far everything has worked as it should. Defiantly a learning curve, but a little research goes a long ways. Machine has had zero issues. Food has come out as it should. Changing the oil is a simple 2-3 minute job. Only issue I have had with the whole process was when I called to order my machine, the person who answered the phone knew they sold the machines locally, but did not know where I could buy one locally or what company sold their products. You would think that would be something a person answering the phone would know. Overall, definatley would recommend Blue Alpine freeze dryers.
Michael Block –
Excellent ordering experience. The shippers were great. The machine came in without a blemish. I followed the directions and made the candy and then bananas. The firmware update was uneventful Now making apple slices. Thanks

FD arrived without issue and ahead of scheduled delivery date. Shipper was kind enough to help me get it up my 5 stairs to house level.Ran first 5 batches without any problems, changed vacum pump oil as recommended and on to batches 6 and 7 now.
I’ve done apples, bananas, celery, mamba candy, tomatoes, mango, oranges, strawberries, and lovin it. Set up was simple and recipes help for quick learning curve. I’m 76 years old and was worried most about getting it on the house.
Blue Aloine has been extremely responsive…I’ve only had to call once with questions.

The absolute best freeze dryer. I have a HR also and have gone round and round with that company. Called blue alpine told him my concerns, he assured me they aren’t like this and made my purchase. Machine comes and the pump was bad, and I didn’t panic, I called and they sent a brand new one within a few days. They are absolutely the best for customer service! Absolutely love this machine.

So far it’s been fun and easier than I thought!

There is not a single feature on this freeze dryer that isn’t simply better than other available brands. From standard sized trays so I can buy bulk and save to the tighter coil wrap for faster chamber cooling, this machine is designed to work efficiently and as inexpensive as possible. On top of all that, it gets better! If for some reason something does wear out or need replaced down the line, most of the components are user replaceable. This machine is the dream combination of value, performance and durability. Great job guys!

Easy to use
I’ve been using the Blue Alpine Freeze Dryer Med for my business, and it has been an absolute game-changer! The machine is incredibly easy to use, even for beginners, with a straightforward setup and intuitive controls. It runs efficiently and delivers perfectly freeze-dried results every time.
I love how well it preserves the texture and flavor of fruits, candy, and other treats. Plus, the maintenance is minimal compared to other models I’ve looked into. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality freeze dryer, Blue Alpine is definitely worth the investment!
