Food Vacuum Sealer Machine - Automatic Air Sealing System for Dry & Moist Foods, LED Touch Controls, Includes Vacuum Bags, Hose & Wine Stopper, High Suction Power, 14"x6"x3", Silver

I've only used this vacuum sealer twice but so far I'm pretty pleased. What I like: It is a compact size so doesn't take up much room and can be stored easily. It didn't take long to seal/vacuum the food items. According to the site/reviews/questions and answers it can accept other bags by other manufacturers. It has a sleek look. I like the bright blue light to let you know it is operating. What I didn't like: It is noisy although I could deal with that. My biggest complaint is that I had a hell of a time getting it to lock into place before sealing/vacuuming. I had to have my spouse come down and do that function for me. Very aggravating and I'm not sure if that was my error or if the machine needs to be used more often, broken in. You will hear a click when it locks in place. If you do not hear that then it won't work and will just run and run, not sealing. Some weeks have passed now and I've had more opportunities to use this NutriChef vacuum sealer. I found that if I press firmly on one side at a time it locks in place. Before I tried to press on both sides simultaneously and was having problems with the unit locking. Also, remember if vacuuming AND sealing, be sure to wait for the Seal light to go out before opening the device. This will ensure the bag has indeed sealed. I found this out by trial and error. Instructions aren't the greatest. Sealing makes no sound so you must look at the light to know that it is working. If you get meat/meat juice near the top of the bags while inserting simply take a napkin or paper towel and wipe off the top of your bag before pressing buttons. This will prevent those juices/meat pieces from getting past the top of the bag and in your machine. No clean up needed if you do this.

The dependable vacuum sealer! We purchased our original NutriChef food vacuum sealer in August of 2018, it had worked perfectly for us over the years, no problems or issues and saved us a lot of money. The quality of this product is undeniable, years of service to us and now we have purchased a new one. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions, low noise level, works great for dry or wet storage and food preservation. The unit is very compact, takes little space on the counter and has a nice look to it. Long lasting tool and a very good price.

Mostly this has been a great product, it is my first vacuum sealer so I don't have any comparison for it, but I do occasionally seem to run into infuriating issues trying to seal the food, it will run and suck out most of the air but then just seems to hang right there, and I have to stop it, open it and re sit the bag in the sealer. I often find I need to run the seal feature twice in a row or it sometimes comes back open after the seal is done, but most the time it functions great.

First time buying a vacuum sealer and I don't know why I didn't purchase one earlier! Due to the pandemic lockdown, I was buying large packs of meat at Costco and freezing them in Ziploc freezer bags. After a month, I noticed signs of frostbite and I wanted the meat to last longer. So I bought this Nutrichef unit based on reviews that I had read online and am loving it so far! With the starter roll that came with the unit and part of a 2nd roll that I purchased separately, I was able to separately bag 7 - 8oz boneless pork loin chops and 8 - 14oz rib eye steaks! Some tips that I got from Amazon customer reviews that are key are: 1) This unit seals with approximately a 1-inch seam so leave appropriate space. 2) To lock the lid, press real firmly on each end until you hear a click and see the latches pop. Took me a bunch of tries initially until I saw this tip from reviewers. Both latches need to be locked or the bag won't seal properly. 3) For moist items like meat, leave ample room at the top of the bag. Do NOT conserve bag space. Despite using the moist setting, the vacuum sucks the juice upward. I had the liquid go past the seal area a couple of times and on one occasion, drip at little into the vacuum chamber. You want to prevent this from happening and ruining the unit. 4) That said, the reason why I bought Nutrichef is that unlike some competitors, you can stop the vacuum manually. For the instances that I felt the meat juice was getting too close to the top, I was able to push the stop button and then pushed "seal" to manually seal the bag. In this case, most of the air, but not all, was removed. 5) Use with caution with marinated meats and do not use a lot of marinate! In which case, leave a lot of room at the top of the bag. I only vacuum sealed plain raw meat. A couple of my rib eyes got partially frozen in my refrigerator. I thought I was safe with these steaks because they were pretty solid. Instead, the vacuum sucked not only the meat juice, but liquified the frost. In each case, I had to manually stop the vacuum. In terms of suction power, it seems to get most of the air out. I haven't used any other vacuum sealer to compare it with. So far, I've only used the product once and am very happy with it. Looking forward to buying and sealing more meat in bulk!

This is great....compact yet can handle the job....the seal strip is complete with no voids and seem to be wider and the noise level is no different than the other sealers I have used.

23 March 2022. Alas, the vacuum sealer yields to poor engineering and cost savings. I’ve had this for around 2 years and used it on a semi-regular schedule. Originally, my only complaint was the amount of time I waited for the heating strip to cool, there was a large lag between making or sealing bags after the 1st 2 or 3. However, I’m really disappointed that the ribbon strip failed (the cable that allows the top buttons to function. I guess all the opening and closing was more that the sealer could stand (see picture). A few months ago, I started having an intermittent failure of the sealer. There was no rhyme or reason, it either worked or it didn’t. I thought it was the button failing but I noticed it would turn on when the lid was at 3/4 open. I was on the last bag and I could not get the sealer to function and thought I would investigate the cause. It didn’t take long to find the issue. I found the strip was brittle and it broke another wire while I was probing it. Too bad. I liked the sealer and it only failed me on one occasion. I hope the company reads this and fixes the issue. I’m now in search of a new sealer but I may shy away from this model, knowing failure is about 2 years away. If you’re looking for an inexpensive and disposable sealer, it may be the one for you. Original review: This thing isn’t going to crush cans but it does pull a sufficient vacuum and seals well. Still experimenting but seems to be working. Can’t beat the price.

Absolutely loved it, until it broke. Of all things it was the locking tab. Didn’t break out if neglect, but just a weak spot. Before that I liked the moisture and gentle setting that this unit had over the food saver brand I had before. Price was good and better than name brands. To share how much I used it: I would say I seal 7-8 items a month for 4.2 years (roughly 380 uses). Seems small when I break it down like that. I seal up meat I find on sale or buy at Costco and veggies, berries, and fruit from the garden. Once in a while meals that I’ve made too much of and won’t get through. I went with another brand when it broke and hope this one will last longer.

I am a chef that wants everything perfect and will not stand fir anything less. I purchase 2 vacuum storage machines that put so much strain on my shoulders and never seal correctly until I found this machine by its reviews and I said let me gamble on this I even bought reconditioned to lower my loss if the outcome was poor, Well the machine worked Great after using it a few times. I leave it on my table and I shrink wrap everything, no more Tupperware containers it impressed me so much I am buying 10 more as Christmas presents. I bought a set of 3 frying pans that worked so well that I bought 10 sets to give out for presents. If you want it to last you must¹ use silicone utensils and medium heat and clean with paper towels after every use. I also took a 2liter coke bottle al cut both ends off, which I push into the storage bagswhich kept the seal area clean and i could fi the bags with soups, sauces, meat my cheese

Amei!! Finalmente uma seladora que funciona

1. There is a lot of plastic waste with this device. It may be true with other devices as well so I don't know if this complaint has value only for this product, or if it's an indictment of all vacuum sealers. 2. It's tricky to get the best vacuum for the product before it auto-seals. 3. If you have a lot of fast turn-around in the freezer, (weeks rather than months) I think you're better off using ziplock bags and not bothering with a vacuum seal. At least ziplock bags can be washed and reused. These are all single-use plastics. 4. This product is best used for items that go in your freezer for a month or more at a time. My turn-around time is shorter than that. 5. Perhaps the cost per item is actually higher than buying ziplock bags. I haven't run the numbers, but the machine is pricey (but not the most expensive one you can buy), and the plastic rolls are expensive too.

It stopped working after 2 months. No service centre or any repair centre. Extremely bad experience. Don't buy...

Lo he usado poco, pero me ha funcionado bien. Vi muchas opiniones negativas, de que llegó dañado o que no sella bien, etc., pero afortunadamente, a mí me funciona bien. Noto una diferencia en los alimentos: yo lo uso principalmente para guardar piezas de carne de res que cociné al carbón; anteriormente, aunque las guardara en bolsas ziplock, al cabo de varios días se formaba hielo en la carne, lo que le daba un "sabor a refrigerador". Esto se evitó con el sellado al vacío. Seguiré probando con frutas y legumbres.

It is bad company.product no work ..2 months they can’t contact with me and change .specially spend time .., waiting till return policy will be ower .
