" ... A plus is that it has separate settings for dry and wet foods. ... "
" ... This machine work great, I have used it on dry product and on meat. ... "
" ... I mean, don’t expect any miracles, it still can’t vacuum seal wet produce, but that’s understandable, I usually place a dry paper towel rolled up, along the sealing edge and it absorbs any moisture coming out of the food. ... "
