Vakumar Vacuum Sealer Machine, 90Kpa Liquid Food Vacuum Sealer Machine Preservation Dry/Moist/Liquid Modes, LED Indicator Light, Handle Locked Design, Built-in Cutter and Bag Storage, Starter Kit

I've had a couple of sealers before this one, but this one is the best one I've had. If you don't have one or looking for a good replacement, this is it. If you're looking for your 1st one, this is a great one to get. and You will save so much money and you won't be throwing away spoiled foods like you do without one. I had a Anova pro vacuum sealer before buying this one. actually I had 4 of them in the last 11 months, they are awful and I got tired of returning them every 3 or 4 months ( my last one lasted 3 weeks ) for a replacement because they quit working. So I bought this one. I hope it lasts, but with the very good warranty, I don't have to worry about it. This is way better than the anova pro sealer and I like all the extra settings that my anova didn't have. The vacuum plastic roll that came with this is more flexible so it vacuums seals much better than my last one, I saw that the 1st time I used it, I was vacuum sealing cold smoked cheese that I had just smoked. the cheese will stay good for a year!. It get's too hot in the summer to smoke cheese so I'm glad that I can smoke all I need for the rest of the year now before it gets too hot. I also vacuum seal meals and meats and freeze them so I can buy "family" packs when they are on sale. and if I don't feel like cooking, I can simply grab a bag of something I previously cooked, thaw it out & heat and eat it. I have smoked ribs, pulled pork, chicken drumsticks, jambalaya.... all ready to eat whenever I want them. I portion them out before sealing and freezing them so I only have to open one bag when I'm ready. I also seal lettuce, mushrooms, black olives, etc. and keep them in the fridge and they stay fresh longer too, even avocados!. and I buy now my spices in bulk to save money and vacuum seal them to stay good for a long time. I especially like that the roll cutter is inside, right in front of the roll, That makes it soo easy to cut the length that you need when vacuum sealing. By vacuum sealing I have greatly reduced the amount of food that goes bad and get's thrown away. I wish I would have bought one years ago. I'm saving so much money now and not just because my food stays fresh longer. Instead of buying a 2 oz. jar of Italian seasoning or any spice for $6, I buy a 16 oz. or 32 oz. bulk jar for only a few bucks more and vacuum seal it in mason jars. & i run out before it goes bad, even if it takes a year or two. and you can marinade meats in a fraction of the time. you don't need to marinade overnight, it's ready in a couple of hours, but you can leave it in the bag much longer so it's ready when you are.

UPDATE at 5 months: After about 5 months the teflon covering on the heating element developed a small wrinkle, causing about 50% of the seals on larger bags to fail. I sent an email to the email address in the product documentation and received a reply several days later. The manufacturer-seller assured me that the unit has a 5 year warranty and I would be shipped a replacement. I received the replacement today. My 5 star rating still stands (maybe now 5 star plus?). Far superior product (in spite of the minor glitch) with a real warranty and great customer service. UPDATE at 30 months. Liked the first so well that I bought a second unit. Teflon heating element covering on both eventually started to bubble and come loose after thousands of repeated cycles. Found replacement Teflon tape on Amazon. 3/4" x 30' for less than $10 and restored both these units to full functioning. Very easy fix and both units still going strong. I have been using vacuum sealers daily for over 30 years. I always buy in bulk and repackage into the sized packages I'm most likely to use, including fresh meat. I've always fixed a weeks worth of meals for the family and vacuum sealed individual portions as well as leftovers. I do a big garden and freeze and vacuum seal much of the fruits and vegetables. I also homebrew and buy grains, hops, and yeast in bulk and vacuum seal them into package sizes that are most likely to be used in a batch. I've worn out at least 12 machines in the last 30 years, with most lasting two or three years at best. The most popular (and expensive) big box store brand seemed to wear out the soonest and I've tried most of the other popular retail brands. They all have their quirks. Most will only do a small number of consecutive seals before they overwork the motor or overheat (not good doing 50 pounds of grain, 80 ounces of hops, or several bushels of beans or peppers from the garden). Even if they have moist or gentle settings, very few will consistently and reliably seal bags that have moist or liquid contents (especially fresh meat) and having to freeze stuff ahead of time to seal it is a huge time consuming hassle. All the previous machines I've had required a lot of muscle and three hands to keep the bags aligned while the lid is pressed down evenly on each side. I've always felt I had to put a second seal on every bag just in case the first seal didn't really take (doubling the use/wear cycle of the machine). The VAKUMAR sealer is clearly superior in design and operation compared to all the other vacuum sealers I've owned. The one hand operation is effortless. I ran it for over 120 consecutive seals on brewers grains and hops and it didn't complain or get overly hot. The moist, liquid, and gentle settings really work well for fresh meats as well as pastas, sauces, and stews -- today I grilled, pulled, and sealed 5 pounds of juicy fresh chicken breast into 5 oz bags and every bag sealed and held the first time using the moist setting. The removable drip tray caught all the liquid sucked through during the vacuum cycle and cleaned up quick and easy. One of my favorite features is that the machine automatically double seals everything. It takes up a little more real estate on the counter than the other machines but not that much more. I'm not sure how long it will last but the design seems a lot more durable and sensible than other machines and if it actually lasts the full 5 year warranty it will have paid for itself several times over. I am not easily impressed but this machine gets 5 stars hands down.

The Vakumar delivers! My current vacuum sealer had seen better times so it was time for an upgrade. I vacuum sealed a number of items and was very pleased with its flexibility and performance. One very important item, be patient… I made the mistake of releasing the seal prematurely when vacuum sealing steaks and thought it didn’t work. Once its vacuum portion is done, the matching makes a puffing sound that I thought signified its was done. Fortunately after just leaving it alone, it fully sealed what I was working on very nicely and with a double seal. The Vakumar has three modes: dry, moist, and liquid. You can choose the mode depending on what you are sealing. The liquid mode is especially useful for sealing sauces, soups, marinades, and other liquid-rich foods. The Vakumar also has a pulse button that lets you control the vacuum pressure manually, which is handy for delicate items. Its handle locked design makes it easy to open and close the lid with one hand. The LED indicator light shows the status of the sealing process, just need to wait for the blue light. The Vakumar also has a built-in cutter and bag storage, which makes it convenient to cut and store the bags. The order came with a starter kit that includes a roll of bags, a hose, and a connector. You can use the hose and connector to vacuum seal canisters, jars, and other containers. I'm very happy with this Vakumar vacuum sealer and would recommend it to anyone!

Well... it was complete user error! Lol! 😄 The machine works as advertised! I didn't push down hard enough to hear the click to make sure it was locked! I thought that you had to push the buttons on the side, to lock it. It locks itself, when pushed down hard enough. And the buttons release it. I did get a good suction when that happened. All the air was taken out. As promised! It is made of plastic, and I was afraid to break it if I pushed down too hard. Since my breakthrough!!! Lol! I have only sealed one item... that is the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars. With continued use... and it functioning as promised... I may up that to 5! Only wanted to try a sealer to see if I would use it regularly. It was a cheaper one. It doesn't remove all the air. It doesn't lock on the sides as it should. And the only way to get a good seal, to remove some of the air, is use my forearm and press it down. Then I have to manually remove the air by holding the button down. The remove/seal button did hardly anything. It did however allow me to decide if sealing food is a good thing for me... and it is! 😁 The seller of this product delivered in a timely manner and had no complications with the seller! 😊 I would use them again!

I have been using this for a few months now and has been great! I buy the larger family packs of meats/hamburger and this has been a safer for sure. No more freeze burn and ice getting around your food. I have even used it for cheese curds when we had a large bag to divide up. It is quick to you use once you use it a few times, and takes no time at all to pull it out and bag up your meats. I bought the extra rolls of bags instead of individual bags, that way you can just make the bag size that you need, which I think is better money saving. I debated for a couple of years about getting one and if it was worth it, but definitely is - I use it every week! If you are on the fence- you won't regret it! (I don't have the containers, so I haven't tried the hose attachment.)

I've had the sealer for almost 2 years. Initially, it worked great. I has multiple settings for soft, moist, solid, or liquid sealing. I like the select a bag size option as well. The downside, a few months ago, the Teflon seal tape became worn and needed to be replaced. I contacted the manufacturer for a new seal along with replacement instructions. It took almost 2 months to get the replacement tape, but no instructions (the troubleshooting section to replace damaged tape, but no instructions on how to do so). Could not find instructions on their website or on YouTube. I tried to carefully remove the old tape, but it wrapped completely around the heat seal. This made it extremely difficult to remove and I wound up damaging the heat seal strip, making the machine useless. Since it was my fault (even though instructions were not sent and are not available), I could not get a replacement. Now I have to buy a new machine after less than 2 years. Not great customer service. Update: Seller my review and offered me a refund through Amazon customer service. 2 months later I'm getting NOWHERE FAST. Amazon says I need to return the second machine I bought to get my refund and then I can reorder a new one, which is not refunding me for my broken one that I had to replace after less than 2 years. Can't get hold of seller to settle the matter. Again, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Great machine, until something goes wrong.

Excellent. Does the job and great price

A very quiet sealer that produces a good vacuum and seal. Recommended.

Do not buy! ! ! The device is of very poor quality for this money, it broke from the first use, in addition, the seller refuses to return the product! Worst product I've had

I just upgraded to this vacuum sealer, had my other one for about 10 years. I used this sealer yesterday and omg i was amazed on how quick and quite this product is. I love the built in cutter and the holder for the rolls. Easy to use with the locking handle. Hope this sealer last 10 years +

Llego como decía la descripción, hasta el momento sin ningún problema

Por el momento bien. Sería conveniente que el instructivo también venga en español

We love our vakumar sealer, it is easy to use and works great! My sister was so impressed, she bought one too after several bad experiences with more expensive brands. She loves her Vakumar too!
