SousVideTools | Vacuum Sealer for Sous Vide Cooking and Food Preservation | Built-In Cutter and 30 cm Bag Sealing Bar | Food Vacuum Machine

So been using this for a while now and though initially i had found a great machine. I love the double seal as was fed up with previous machines not completely sealing, now I've 100% more chance that wont occur. In built storage and a cutter is also a plus.What i don't like and im beginning to think that maybe i expecting too much and prosumer models will always have the trouble of overheating of the sealer, just having done meat bonanza purchase at Costco got everything ready to split and seal. marker pen at the ready. What i hadn't expected was having to wait for cool down after only the 10th seal this time, do these go bad over time? not that ive used it often. After the initial run today it was seal, seal, wait...... seal, seal, wait... not what i was expecting at this price tbh. previous sealers were a 3rd of the price so they can be forgiven but not really for a £100+ unit. shame.Occasionally the suction wouldn't work either, as though there was a bad seal or hole (so much for the double seal) switching bags and all was good, but the bags appeared water tight when testes so I'm not sure what the problem was..

Got this today so can only report on 4 bags worth, but.....The difference in the quality of the build, the attachments and the controls are instantly noticeable.Its the quality of the weld across the sealing strip that stands out for me. A dead straight line with no gaps or wrinkles, unlike the previous one I had that eventually started to burn holes and/or create an uneven weld with hot spots along the line.The suction is better and I like the manual button to stop the vacuum and weld in place without loss of vacuum.The package comes with some large bags and medium bags 10x and 5x to start you off and a yard of cable to plug the machine in.The tube for using this machine on tubs is located inside the top lid along its length and is easy to miss, so check there first before contacting distributer.Keep the travel wedges that allow the unit to be stored with the lid open (back in box) so the foam sealing strips dont get creased if left in store for a long time. A removeable bath for liquids is great so its easily washable if vacuumed contents leak out.Overall, this unit cost just over twice the first one I bought and even at this early stage i'm pretty impressed and happy with it. Will update if anything changes.

Much easier to use than another make I had, Overall i would recommend.The handle function is certainly worth it, much better than the one I had were I had to press the top down with both hands and release by pressing the button on the sides.I thought I'd be able to store this closed and standing upright on the front edge but the instruction say not to close when not in use as it may affect the seal function. I still store it standing on its edge with the handle open it just made it a bit wider.The only real negative is the amount of time it takes to seal, if your doing the odd thing now and again isn't a problem but we use this a lot. It is a double line seal but I wouldn't say the seal on my stuff is holding up better than my previous make.

Arrived in less than a day, safely packaged and exactly as described. I'm a professional chef who wanted a reliable vacuum packer for home use. It needed to do the job properly, every time - but not cost the earth. This product ticks all the boxes. It's very well priced (avoid the budget ones) and both the 'seal' and the 'vacuum' features are excellent. Seal, just to lock a bag for extended shelf-life; Vacuum for freezing goods down in a compact manner and also for Sous Vide (water bath) cooking. This product will help to minimise wasted ingredients, helping to save on costs and will also help save on freezer space. A typical pack of cooked meat might last 2-3 days, once opened. Vacuum-packing it will extend that shelf life to 3 - 5 days in most cases - often longer. I'm very satisfied with this product. 5/5

The machine looks good and does its job.Unfortunately it arrived without the hose and adapter to suck the air out of the jars.I believe this depends on the seller who sent an unsealed product.

After much research & deliberation, selected this model for our 1st Vacuum sealer. 7 months later the unit would pull a vacuum on the 1st bag, and that was it, even leaving it for a short while had no effect. So replacement unit delivered in November, now in March just the same symptoms, unit not pulling a vacuum. I did see a couple of similar comments before my 1st purchase, but decided still to go for it as the vast majority of comments were positive.So if your looking for a midrange sealer please note I would definitely recommend that you rethink your choice.The one thing I can recommend is Amazons customer service, the replacement unit was delivered the next day after I contacted them, and the refund by way of gift car was issued as soon as I handed the return to the courier.Excellent service but very poor product

Item arrived within 24 hours of order to Scottish Islands, an outstanding effort. Decided to replace a three-year-old Vacuum sealer that was frankly hit and miss and cost around two-thirds the price of this gadget. Delighted to have taken the plunge and splurged more than intended on this (so far, excellent) Vacuum Sealer. It sure does suck and seal with rapid vigour, you can see the progress with illuminating digits. It has versatility and features as yet untried. Easy to clean and store. No hesitation in recommending it. Considerably better level of performance from my previous gadget which was hardly cheap, it frequently frustrated. Cannot yet vouch for longevity but beyond that, very impressed. Perhaps a tad expensive but...it works. What is not to like?
