Compare freeze-dryers
Line up any models side by side: capacity, process, build and price. Switch on Differences only to cut to what sets them apart, and check price per kg to compare real value, not just sticker price.

Before you compare on shelf area alone
Shelf area tells you how much tray surface you get, not how thick a layer fits on it. If you dry whole fruit, berries or pieces of meat, check the shelf spacing too. The ice condenser has to hold all the water the batch gives off, so compare its capacity in kg of ice with the water in your load. The pump type and its service interval set what maintenance will cost you.
