Bonsenkitchen Vacuum Sealer Machine, Precision-Compact 4-in-1 Food Sealer Machine, Multi-Functional Food Vacuum Sealer with & Accessory Hose, Bright Silver

I ordered it yesterday afternoon and it arrived here in SoCal at 7:30am!So, I went about reading the manual, then sealing up the contents of my freezer, rinsing off any frost, patting dry, then vac & seal. Many reviews on various machines complained of liquid on vacuumed food without a paper towel inserted at top, messing up their machines, so I acted accordingly.After watching various video reviews for different machines, I learned that they necessarily make a sound and take time to function. The sound on this isn't bad and it seems to work relatively quickly and efficiently. My husband was watching TV nearby as I worked with it.Manual was easy to understand and had helpful info at the end.It's now just my husband and me, with an occasional granddaughter, so everything is portioned for 2.I'd just gotten chicken & kielbasa at Costco, so there's a lot of that. I decided I like the 11" bags best. Our portions fit well side by side with cutting off less bag length for each portion. Save $.Other machine reviews I've read, complained about not being able to seal continuously without the machine needing a break. I didn't have that problem with this machine.While researching, I came across a reddit question "Does anyone know of a food sealer that doesn't break quickly?" The answers weren't encouraging, so I decided it wasn't worth spending too much for bells and whistles. So, I ordered this one with 2500+ 4.5☆s, got out my scissors, set the rolls of plastic bag material on the counter and started. It's perfect for our needs!I did try cutting off the sealing strip from a zip lock freezer bag and lining it up to vac & seal. It didn't vac, though it sealed. The provided bags aren't smooth on both sides. One side has a small pattern indented into it. I imagine that this is necessary for the vacuum to work. Though it sealed fine on the zip lock, I imagine that the softer material could cause melting problems that would eventually gunk up the system, though it didn't happen with the one bag. OTOH, it should be built to protect from various bags causing harm & there's no warning for that🤔Well, this is my review after owning it and playing for a few hours. If it stops, I'll revise.++++++++I've used some of the sealed meat, now that it's been a week or 2. After opening the kielbasa in it's shrink wrapped plastic bag from Costco, the effort it took was sufficient to cross off a rotation of stretchy band resistance exercises from my bingo card. Removing the meat that I vac & sealed was nothing like that. I cut across the top, turned it upside down and with little tiny tugs on the bag, the meat fell out. The sealed bag fit around the meat less like leggings and more like well fitting trousers.I was expecting leggings, but am still satisfied. It meets our private needs.We ate at Macaroni Grill last weekend. I always order an extra loaf of bread to bring home and freeze for spaghetti night. The waitress, when Iasked for a to go bag for the loaf we saved, brought us a fresh loaf.😁 I threw both into the bag. Not thinking too hard, when we got home, I got out the vac&seal. Putting one loaf in, I pressed the button to automatically vac & seal. I suddenly realized my mistake as the nice, puffy loaf started turning into pita bread! I pushed the off button and opened the bag. Well.....it didn't re-inflate like the cartoon in my head said it would, so I just sealed it. For the 2nd loaf, I used the manual button. It worked perfectly! I pushed it just enough to get most of the air out, then sealed it.

Absolutely the best Vacuum sealer out there. The seal line is twice the size of any other I have used. Everything stays sealed. Love it. Professionally packaged and sent.

does the trick. We bought this sealer to use with our new soux vide machine. We struggle with getting all of the air out of out wrapping while using but are slowly getting better. Great for food storage and longevity.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED!Works as easy as the 1st. tutorial video.This unit is straight forward & multi-functional.*The demo sold this buyer!SC

Space saving for all our meats. Works very easy, speed is great, cutter is wonderful, suction is great and heat level is perfect.

It works great.

The functionality was great. The food didn’t get too much freezer burn depending on freezer bags used. There is no cutter. The lock was solid. It was easy to clean. My issue is it only lasted 3 months. I did like the attachments but never got to use them.

Seems to lose a bit of the seal after the vacuum phase before sealing
