" ... This is my first vacuum sealer. ... The instructions do say you must use textured vacuum bags. ... "
" ... This is my first vacuum sealer and I couldn't be more pleased. ... "
" ... My old vacuum sealer had a piece that held the bag in the vacuum channel. ... "
" ... My son and daughter in law gave us a huge wheel of Gouda they had made themselves and told us to cut it and vacuum seal it. ... "
" ... The seals on the bags are great for storing food, I wish the vacuum would remove all of the air out of the bag, but it does a good job removing a lot of the air but not all. ... "
" ... Recently bought this to cook items Sous Vide, after the set up and first time use its a breeze to get items vacuum sealed quickly. ... "
" ... I've used it a few times now and once I got accustomed to bag placement for vacuuming, operated like a champ! ... "

" ... Garbage product, didn’t work not even once and Amazon wants to change me to return a defective item. ... "
" ... I'm ok with finicky stuff if I can figure out a way to minimize the error but with this product I can't seem to find any information on what could be the issue with the sealing method. ... "
" ... I got this and it worked really well about 3 times and then it just stopped taking all the air out and wouldn’t seal well. ... "
" ... I am believing this is just user error on our end and will update this if something changes. ... "
" ... I have only owned this sealer 8 months and it is starting to fail. ... "
" ... We used this product about 3 times per month so we got maybe a total of 6 uses out of it before it stopped producing a good vacuum. ... "

" ... Great for breaking down large packages of meat for just my wife and I. ... "

" ... Does seal bags well once you smash the lid down, which takes a surprising amount of force, AND you get the bag positioned exactly correctly. ... "
" ... Bought in April 2020 - used possibly 5 times - one of the locking tabs broke at use #4 - no suction at use # 5. ... "
" ... This thing takes 4-5 attempts to seal a bag. ... "
" ... This would be a nice unit for the casual user if the bottom chassis were strengthened to prevent flexing or if floating locks were used. ... "
" ... Broken and not worth it. ... "
" ... I attempted to seal a bag of salmon with some soy sauce and it has stopped working. ... "
" ... Very cheaply made. ... If the tiny rubber feet on the corners were just 1/4" high, it would make it easier to pinch the top and click it closed, plus it wouldn't rock left & right. ... You obviously have to let go of the bag you are trying to seal in order to lock the unit, and the open end of the bag is far from flat unless you have a lot of extra (wasted) bag or an extra hand to hold it flat while you lock the unit. ... "
" ... Worked for a few months before breaking. ... "

" ... Seems like a good value for the price, can't wait to see how it handles actual food. ... "
" ... Its so awesome how much we are saving food. ... "
" ... However, it is quieter and faster than my old food saver. ... "
" ... Nice to have food prepared and frozen in advance. ... "
" ... heats up very fast ... "
Controls

" ... You are supposed to be able to press down on both sides of the lid to make it "click in place". ... "
" ... My only minor, minor complaint is that you have to press down harder than expected to lock the top part in place. ... "
" ... Upon using the unit on the 3rd time the buttons were not working as they should and that is when I decided to return unit. ... "
" ... Difficult to press down. ... "
" ... All buttons unresponsive until I unplug and replug it in. ... "
" ... Now the vacseal button doesn’t stop sucking and you have to manually hit seal. ... "
" ... It just randomly runs on its own without me touching it an every time I hit the stop button it does nothing. ... "
" ... The "seal" button froze and no other button worked. ... "
Fit
26bag, vacuum, bags, tight, seals
+31%
-69%
" ... Plus you need inches of extra bag to keep it flat in the unit while you try and lock it shut to seal. ... "
" ... That flexing causes bottom chassis warpage and prevents the bottom chassis mounted seal from compressing against the upper seal, resulting in loss of vacuum during the evacuation process. ... "
" ... Does not suck the bags tight. ... "
" ... The unit also tends to fall apart. ... "
" ... It is very finicky about where the bag is put in to vacuum seal. ... "
" ... The machine wouldn’t suck all of the air out of the bag even with us trying to squeeze the air out to help. ... "
" ... Sometimes its a little tricky getting the open edge of the bag into the right position in the sealer for it to work properly. ... "
" ... Because the machine is so top heavy when its in an open position, it tends to shift around on the counter when attempting to align the bag opening to the vacuum chamber. ... "
