Setup readiness + cost estimator
Price the setup before you price the payback
Select a current home model, verify the physical and electrical fit, then total only the one-time setup costs that apply to your home.
Setup subtotal
One-time setup subtotal $0.00 for the Medium model.
- Selected model
- Medium
- Machine weight
- 119 lb

- Delivery carton / shipping weight
- 26″ × 36″ × 45″ / 209 lb
- Power to verify
- Dedicated 15 A circuit
Before ordering, verify a stable level surface, an unobstructed ventilation area, the correct dedicated circuit, a workable delivery path, and a drain-hose route.
Five setup gates to clear before ordering
- Support the operating weight.
Use a stable, level counter, table, or cart rated for the selected machine and pump arrangement.
- Verify power at the exact location.
Match the current outlet and dedicated-circuit guidance. Have a qualified electrician inspect uncertain wiring.
- Leave the vents open.
Do not plan a tight enclosure. The manufacturer says blocked side vents can cause overheating and performance problems.
- Walk the delivery path.
Measure doors, corners, stairs, and the final lifting route using the packaged delivery dimensions—not only the machine footprint.
- Plan the drain and room conditions.
Leave a workable path for the drain hose and verify that the room can stay within current operating guidance.

Do not buy the included starter items twice
The current home bundle lists a Premier pump, pump oil, an oil filter, stainless-steel trays, 50 bags, 50 oxygen absorbers, and an impulse sealer. Bundle contents can change, so verify the current order page before removing an item from your budget.
- Keep optional pump upgrades separate from the included pump.
- Count only extra trays, bags, absorbers, jars, or labels beyond the bundle.
- Use actual tax, delivery, moving, and electrician quotes rather than national averages.
- Add the final setup subtotal to the all-in machine price in the payback calculator.

Carry the number forward
Use the all-in price—not the sticker price.
Add the setup subtotal to the current machine configuration, then test payback with a cadence and food comparison you can defend.
