Vacuum Sealer Black

This was a gift, but I've read the other reviews and some I agree with others I don't. This is great for some like me who lives alone and cooks for one in that it lets me store surplus food for later use even freezing. Therefore I no longer have to fiddle around trying to adjust recipes. Usually when you cook and then try to freeze the extra portions you loose a lot of the taste when you reheat, regardless of how you do it. With the vacuum sealing of this little machine that doesn't happen so much. I like to cook from scratch as ready meals always seem to have to much salt in them or are to sweet. Plus I know whats in it. I've found this very easy to use with the bonus of being able to dictate just how much air is sucked out by hitting the vacuum button a 2nd time once started. So some foods don't get squashed or crushed like they would if you let the vacuum take it's full course. You do ofcourse have to press the seal button to finish the process. The clips at each end have only been a problem once and that was because I forgot to pull the vacuum release button and they wouldn't release properly. Now I tend to give it a moment or two before I attempt to release them and it works everytime. It's a learning curve. I was given two extra rolls of the sealing bag material at the same time. One is extra wide and the other the same width as the larger bags that came with the machine. This is great as it means I can be very flexible on the size of things I want to preserve. I can cut then to what ever length I need, seal one end, add the contents, then seal or vac and seal the other end. I used it for cooked rice, curry, soup, fresh meat and so on, as well as dried goods into seperate portions that will stay fresh for later. I also use it to store fresh cut herbs from my garden for use when not in season. In the summer I'm hoping to use it for my own grown fruit and veg rather than have to give some away because there's no room in the freezer. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it that aren't food related as well. I don't know how this compares to other more expensive machines, but it does all I need it to do and am very thankful to the person who gave it to me. I love it.

An excellent little machine that functions well

I bought this product as i was fed up searching through foil packages looking for the food and then finding it freezer burnt, however this vacuum sealer has even more benefit than that. The sealer is very simple to use, it has two buttons, one for a seal only and one for a vacuum seal (which can be stopped mid vacuum by pressing the button a 2nd time so that your food doesn't get crushed). You put your food into one of the sealer bags clip it into the machine and close the lid - its so easy. I have also use the sealer on the product to re-seal bags of crisps etc i didn't manage to finish in one sitting. although be aware that the vacuum wont work as the inside of the bag is too smooth. The only downside I experienced with the machine is that when it seals the food it leaves a lot of space on the seal side meaning i end up re sealing to insure its most efficient for saving space in my freezer. However overall i love the product as has made our freezer storage much more efficient. I belive this machine is also great so sealing food for use in a Sous Vied . if you found this review helpful, please hit the helpful button :)

Perfect for the price, I had an issue where it wasn’t pulling a vacuum after the third go. If you have this issue press down the pressure release valve just by placing a finger on it and that will resolve the issue. I think after I pulled it up (to allow air back in and release it) that it didn’t go down correctly. Not really a product problem as I should have been more attentive and it works great for the price so 5 stars from me. Definitely worth the purchase.

Very durable. Great product

Useless 18 months on looking to replace it. The bags do not stay vacuum sealed no matter how hard you try including double sealing. RIDICULOUS!!

Vacuum is a bit weak. Worked fine for two years but then broke. Only Went through two vacuum sealer rolls in that time, so I wasn't using it super often.

item as described, fast delivery, seller worth recommending

Delivered on time and does the job well

جيد

The sealer is not strong and cheaply built
