We are still freeze drying anything that doesn't move. None of my wife's cats are missing.... yet.....
We've done a few batches of strawberries, raspberries, apples, sour cream, mushrooms, onions and stuff that's local to here.
If anyone is interested, maintenance hasn't been a problem so far. I did a big oil flush on the vac pump, but what I thought sounded like a pain in the butt took 10 minutes more than changing the oil in it. In other words, not a problem.
I think we both wish we'd have gotten a larger one already, but that is life.
