Fully automatic, one touch operation, and automatic shut off makes this vacuum sealer easy to use. The Seal-Only switch prevents over vacuuming and crushing of food. The VS-02 features an extended seal time function for thicker bags and wet items.

The VS-02 also features a bag cutter and roll storage compartment with that fits up to 11.8” wide roll bag material. The NESCO VS-02 Vacuum Sealer includes (2) Sealer Rolls, size: 8.66” x 9.8', (5) Sealer Bags, size: 8.66” x 11.8” and (5) Sealer Bags, size: 11” x 11.8”.

This vacuum sealer features Unlock Buttons on the right and left side of the sealer. In the locked position, they secure the cover in place while the vacuum sealer is in operation. Press buttons firmly to unlock. When closed, the cover connects the sealing gaskets together forming a vacuum chamber.

The vacuum chamber is where the open end of the bag is positioned, the chamber draws air from the bag. Once the air has been removed, the upper sealing element becomes hot and seals the bag as it engages with the lower sealing strip.

The convenient roll storage compartment provides space to store bag material and the built-in bag cutter enables the user to create specific sized bags.

A cord storage area is located on the bottom of the appliance which provides the space needed to store the power cord neatly.

The Vacuum/Seal and Seal Only Indicator Lights show the status of the vacuum or seal process. The Extended/Normal function allows the user to choose between different food types like moist or delicate items. The Cancel Button stops the unit at any time. A Hose Port feature is located on the vacuum sealer above the right Unlock Button. This function allows for the use of additional accessories which can be used with the Canister Only setting.

Received a different brand that died within a year.
The one we received as a gift lasted less than a year but we liked having that kind of machine. The old one did not seem very powerful and it stopped self-sealing.This seems very powerful. Don't know that I need the roll of bags. It would take up less room without it. I found a way to stand it upright so I doesn't take up some much space. I used a few felt self-adhesive pads to keep it from resting on the cord. I had to use one more pad (three instead of two) to account for the weight difference from one side to the other. That helps with the space. So, Nesco, if you are listenting, this might be a nice addition to the product.

You can probably seal all kind of bags with it (chips, cold meat, cereals, cheese). You don’t need special bags all the time.

The vaccuum does not work with all bag types but works very well with the provided bags and chips bags for example. Fold top sandwich bags can be sealed but vaccuum does not work on these. I tested them.

One important note. You must wait 2 minutes between each sealing/vaccuming cycle.

I will update in the coming weeks.

UPDATE
The more I use it the more I like it. Look at pictures to show the end result. Really impressive. You must freeze your meat at the very least 1 hour before using it for best results.
