Stay Fresh Freeze Dryers
The 5-Shelf Stay Fresh With the Premier Pump
The 5-Shelf is Stay Fresh's core home freeze dryer: 12 to 18 lb of fresh food per batch, up to 3,600 lb per year, and 800 sq. in. of tray space across five stainless trays. This version pairs it with the Premier oil vacuum pump (7.2 CFM).
If you want the heavier Commercial pump instead, the same machine is available in a Commercial Pump version. Either way you get Stay Fresh's patented smart algorithm, candy mode, and a shelf temperature range of -50F to 180F.

Why the 5-Shelf Freeze Dryer
Patented Smart Algorithm
Stay Fresh's patented smart freeze drying algorithm runs the cycle for you, with multiple drying methods for beginners and advanced users alike.
Candy Mode
A dedicated candy mode and shelf temperatures up to 180F make freeze-drying sweets easy and quick.
Motorized Ball Valve
A motorized ball valve guards against oil contamination from the vacuum pump, protecting the food in the chamber.
RTD Temperature Sensors
RTD temperature sensors assist the drying process with accurate, responsive readings throughout the cycle.
Built to Be Serviced
Industrial grade glass-to-metal seal feed-through, a solid state heater relay, and all replaceable relays keep the machine serviceable for years.
Stainless and Aluminum Build
Major parts are stainless steel and aluminum, with an independent vacuum valve for pressure normalization and a stainless steel drain line.

5-Shelf Freeze Dryer Questions
How much food fits in the 5-Shelf?
12 to 18 lb of fresh food per batch on five trays (800 sq. in. of tray space), up to 3,600 lb per year. Ice capacity is 12 lb, and a typical 8 lb batch dries in 16 to 30 hours.
Premier or Commercial pump: which should I pick?
Both pumps move 7.2 CFM. The Commercial pump is the larger, heavier-duty unit (55 lb vs 36 lb) and raises ice capacity to 14 lb. The Premier keeps the total price lower and is the right call for most home users.
What outlet does it need?
Stay Fresh recommends a dedicated 15/20 Amp outlet for the 5-Shelf models.
Is Renewable Outdoors an authorized Stay Fresh dealer?
Yes. Renewable Outdoors is an authorized Stay Fresh reseller, so your freeze dryer ships brand new with the full Stay Fresh warranty: one year full coverage plus a limited three year warranty on the refrigeration system, and free lifetime technical support from Stay Fresh.
Do you offer a price match?
Yes. Our Lowest Price Guarantee means if you find the same item cheaper at another authorized Stay Fresh dealer, call us at (303) 876-7654 before you order and we will take care of you.
