A Wi-Fi connection turns your Harvest Right freeze dryer into something you can monitor and control from your phone — no more walking out to the garage just to check a batch's progress.

What Wi-Fi Control Adds

Once connected, you can start, stop, and monitor a drying cycle remotely from anywhere with a phone connection. You'll also get real-time notifications the moment a batch finishes, so there's no more guessing whether your food is done.

What the App Adds

The Harvest Right app isn't just a remote control. It also gives you:

  • Tips and recipes for nearly every food and candy, with recommended techniques and settings
  • The ability to save your own custom settings and recipes for instant recall next time
  • Direct access to Customer Support if you run into a question or an issue

What's New in the Software

The current software (version 6) is built for faster, higher-quality batches:

  • Optimized algorithms cut down cycle times without sacrificing quality
  • Precision temperature control and refined drying techniques help preserve more flavor, nutrients, and texture
  • Candy Mode simplifies freeze-drying candy, aiming for consistent, melt-in-your-mouth results every batch

Is Your Freeze Dryer Compatible?

Because of hardware limitations, only the Harvest Right PRO freeze dryer can be upgraded to Wi-Fi and the current software. To check whether your machine is a PRO model:

  • Count the shelves: Small has 4, Medium has 5, Large has 6, and X-Large has 7
  • Or check the serial number on the back of the unit (for example, P-MTF, where M indicates Medium)

If you're still not sure after checking both, Harvest Right customer service can confirm it for you.

Getting the Upgrade

The Wi-Fi Upgrade Kit adds the Wi-Fi adapter, the app, and the current software to a compatible PRO freeze dryer. You can shop the Wi-Fi Upgrade Kit directly, or add it alongside a new PRO freeze dryer purchase.

New to Freeze Drying?

If you're still getting familiar with the basics before deciding on the Wi-Fi upgrade, how home freeze-drying works is a good place to start.
