Vac 'n Seal Pro Vacuum Sealer with Combo Roll Box

I've been using this vacuum sealer to stock up the freezer with items on sale or pre-cooked meals. When I placed it on the countertop, I was quite impressed at how sleek it looks with its gleaming stainless steel exterior.It has a 5mm wide sealing wire and 12.2-inch width seal bar, which means it can seal big bags quickly and easily, and I always get perfect results. The vacuum bags that come with the sealer have channels on one side of the bag enabling the vacuum sealer to do a perfect job.The bags that are supplied come in a convenient double roll box which dispenses both 8-inch or 11-inch wide bags that can be cut to any length (using a slide cutter on the box). When I need to pack foods that I'll be removing small quantities from and then resealing, I cut the bag length longer than what's needed. This way, I have extra length to work with when it's time to reseal the bag.The handle button is designed to be easy to use, so I can get the job done quickly. The electromagnetic lock is a great feature that makes sealing bags effortless. I’ve used vacuum sealers before in which you need to apply pressure for a successful seal, but this sealer locks down and begins a countdown until it automatically releases the lock after a few seconds. This takes the hard work and guessing out of the job. It also enables you to do a succession of sealed bags by quick use of the button on the handle.The vacuum sealer has a small removable tray where the sealing bar is for the vacuum bag, so if any liquid leaks up from the bag during the sealing process, the tray can just be removed and rinsed off at the sink.The unit has a side port for accessories such as a marinate function that’s accomplished with a separate switch on top that provides a pulsing vacuum. It includes the air tube to connect to a marinade accessory (something you supply, like a large canning jar). If you have a vacuum cover which seals Mason jars, you can also use it with this accessory port for dry vacuum sealing foods such as walnuts, pecans, raisins, garden seeds, grains, beans, spices and herbs, etc. Just think of items you buy that come vacuum packed and you’ll have an idea of foods you can store this way.Vacuum packaging foods in jars or bags helps retain the quality of stored food because it keeps out moisture, air, mold and moths. If you’re freezing the food, it provides a barrier from the harsh dry air of the freezer, preventing freezer burn.And these bags can be used for cooking, too, so that means you can make boil-in-bag prepare-ahead meals, or do sous-vide cooking, or just defrost right in the bag. If you’re on a portion control diet, it can help to weigh and portion out meals in advance, too.This pro vacuum sealer looks and operates better than any vacuum sealer I’ve used in the past (and I’ve used quite a few). It creates a strong leak-proof seal and provides an excellent vacuum with ease. I would highly recommend this vacuum sealer to anyone who is looking to save money when preserving food at home.

If I could rate this machine higher, I would. It is FAST. It does a FANTASTIC job. It is EASY to use. I did not realize that a bag cutter and 2- 75 ft rolls were included!! I am a meat cutter by trade. I now have a little corner market with fresh meat on a small scale. I started with a cheaper unit that did great but was slow and you cannot rush the smaller units, you will damage the pump. . A chamber vac unit has it's purpose but is slow and big for my counter. I unpacked this Vesta machine and put it to work. I just pressed start without reading the directions. I am totally satisfied!Smaller machines will work but are not going to hold up unless you go slow and let the pump cool off between packages. This one has a dual pump and cooling fan. suction is awesome. It is what I would want even if it was a lot higher priced. (This is a non-paid honest endorsement. I have tried 3 other units, some were way more money. This Vesta is the real deal.)

I loved the functionality of this unit. Exactly what I wanted, however I had to replace it under warranty 3 times. Units would just quit working or the handle on the lid came off. Just got my money back and went with a different brand.

Il prodotto è buono, ma scarsa l'assistenza.Il manuale allegato è in inglese, francese, tedesco e spagnolo (NON IN ITALIANO).Lo stesso manuale scaricato da internet in inglese e poi fatto tradurre da un programma non è esaustivo. Pochi problemi con il semplice sottovuoto, ma le funzioni accessorie (marinatura, barattoli sotto vuoto) sono poco descritte e quindi difficili da utilizzare.

What do i like about this product? Not muchWhat do i dislike about this product? Well i will start by saying i have the older version of this machine that does not have the magnetic locking mechanism. Lets start with the built in electronic features, no matter what i program it has a mind of its own, I have nicknamed it groot. To my disappointment the unit has mediocre suction power, i bought this unit as a major upgrade to my 50.00 unit which by the way was more user friendly and did an equally as good job vacuum packaging. I thought by making a major investment i would have a substantially better product... not the case. The magnetic tape morphs and deforms, the first strip lasted for about 10 vacuum seals before crinkling up causing there to be small voids in the seal i didnt detect. This lead to a slow leaks in the vacuum seal itself and my food either being freezer burnt or going bad quickly in the refrigerator. Once i recognized the issue i replaced the heat tape which was provided upon purchase. That tape now peels up when i remove the vacuum packed food and bag. In order to vacuum pack more than one bag in a setting i have to continuously reset the heat tape by touching an extremely hot strip inbetween vacuum packs. Not acceptable when handling raw meat and trying to keep everything sanitary. I have had the product for a little over a year and the quality is already degrading. So i will leave you readers with this closing statement: BUYER BEWARE THIS IS A POORLY MADE PRODUCT WITH UNRELIABLE FEATURES AND COMPONENTS. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A 50 DOLLAR UNIT, IT WILL WORK EQUALLY AS WELL. FOR THE PRICE THIS JUST AINT THE ONE!

Took over a month to arrive and when we finally got it, it wouldn't even work. Only gave it one star because I couldn't give it ZERO stars. Terribly disappointed.

I cannot get a good seal unless the bag is spotless. The unit has a big cup on the side to collect fluid, yet the unit won't properly seal if there is any wetness on the bag when it seals. This does not make sense to me. The manual suggests freezing everything before you seal it to get a proper seal. Do not buy this!

Nice and sturdy preforms as it should on the first try .

So far so good. Great product, I am impressed so far. Before I bought this I emailed customer service to ask some questions and their responses were quick and helpful. I wanted to stay with USA made products (parts likely came from other companies) and I searched quite a few different companies. I went with this company because of the customer service and the replace ability of the parts.

Great for freezing leftovers. Easy to use a little heavy.

The vacuum is fast and complete. The seal is about twice as wide as vacuum sealers I have used in the past. You can use one hand to start the vacuum and seal.

This sealer works like a champ. I didn't need one that has a spot for bags, It's fast, simple and appears to be quite well made. I especially like the electro-magnetic clamps that hold the top down, so once you press the handy button located on the handle, you can let go and start packing your next bag. I use one a lot. I'm very happy with it so far.

Flawless operation. A bit too large to leave out. Used to freeze ravioli. None broke. Have sealed ham, tomatoes sauce, fresh pasta, and meatballs.

Needed a new vacuum sealer. As usual I shopped, googled, ready reviews, compared options & prices - Extremely Happy with this purchase.Easy to use, built tough, definitely sucks the air out & seals up tight.Best Vacuum Sealer I have ever owned.

The unit looks good and has a feel of quality. It seals in about 3 to 4 seconds. The seal is strong.

Superb sealer!!

So we have been using the FoodSaver brand for years until one of them melted and almost caught on fire while it was not being used. We got pretty nervous about the brand after that so I was excited to see this one and give it a try. It looks a lot more industrial than Foodsaver.Pros:It does remove air and seal much faster than the other brand.It ships with a large box of 8" and 11" rolls of 75 feet each.Easy to use buttons on the handle.Electro-magnetic lockAdjustable seal time*Cons:Sits high on the counter so you have to put something under the food you are sealing to reduce the likelihood of wrinkles.Doesn't always seal completely out of the box (which means you need to adjust the seal time)Suction and seal process is different than the other brand, which caused some confusion at first.Here is what happened when I tried to use it the first few times. To make the first bag, I cut a piece off the provided roll (impressed that they included so much), put one end in the sealer and pushed the red seal button on the handle. It started the vacuum, which was unexpected as I was only trying to make the first seal on one end. I hit the power button to stop the process, thinking that it would run the suction forever as the other end of the bag was not sealed. Tried again with the same results, so I let it run. It ran suction for a while, then stopped. I pulled out the bag and nothing... no seal. It turns out that you have to push down a bit on the handle when you press any button. I assume that it runs the suction to pull the lid down to enable the electro-magnetic locks but the suction alone is not enough and still requires that you push down on the handle.Once the locks are engaged, it works well with the caveat that you may have to adjust your seal time. Some of the first bags I made had unsealed spots in them. I turned it up from 3 to 5, which was too much and almost burned through the bag. Turned it down to 4 which seems to work. I used both their bags and some FoodSaver bags I had and they both worked well, once I adjusted the seal time.Bottom line: I'm pretty happy with it, once I learned the tricks. I am hoping that it will last much longer than the other ones we have used. It seems to be built better, but only time will tell.

Works well for keeping my espresso beans fresh ( I buy 5 lbs. at a time and freeze them) . Just make sure that you press down the handle well to engage the electromagnetic lock. Vacuum works well and the sealer does the job as long as you do yours.

Great product easy to work. The only problem is getting replacement parts for it like their seal tape it impossible to get it. Only gave two star because of issue getting parts.

But does need the compatible bags to operate

Works great and is helping us save from wasted food and money

I was super excited to get this item as I've never used a vacuum sealer before so it's a work in progress and once I get the hang out of it I will definitely use it to its full potential. I love that you get so many bags with this product and I had no issues with its ceiling the food airtight I love the easy to use buttons all the features are great, especially the adjustable seal time. I guess the only con would be that it sits a little higher on the counter so you just have to put something underneath it to do the sealing part to prevent less crinkles in the bag.

Works great just wait a minute between sealing work every time for me
