About this item

  • THE FRESH SOLUTION FOR FOOD STORAGE: Vacuum sealing removes all the air from specially designed bags, then uses heat to create a secure seal, ensuring food not only takes up less space in the fridge, freezer, or pantry, but also stays fresh longer compared to non-vacuum storage methods
  • PRESERVES TASTE & NUTRIENTS: Confidently store fresh fruits, vegetables, cuts of meat, fish, and more! When air is removed from the bag and finished with an airtight vacuum seal, food is protected from the deteriorating effects of air, which causes freezer burn and spoilage
  • MAKES SAVING TIME & MONEY EASY: Prepare meals or ingredients ahead of time for no-hassle weeknight dinners that you can microwave or simmer in the bag, and spend less time grocery shopping by buying in bulk and storing extra food for later without fear of freezer burn
  • ONE-PRESS VACUUM SEALING: Simply press firmly down on the lid with both hands and hold until the Hands-Free Indicator Light illuminates. It is then safe to remove your hands from the Lid. The unit will continue to vacuum and seal the bag
  • NOT JUST FOR FOOD STORAGE: Use your vacuum sealer to store liquids and creams when you travel, protect important papers or photographs from mildew or possible water damage, create your own refreezable ice packs, and much more
  • USE WITH SEAL-A-MEAL & FOODSAVER BAGS & ROLLS: Compatible with 8-inch, 11-inch, 1-quart, and 1-gallon Seal-a-Meal and FoodSaver vacuum seal bags and rolls, including FoodSaver Easy Seal & Peel vacuum seal rolls and Liquid Block vacuum seal bags
  • EVERYTHING INCLUDED TO GET STARTED: (4) 1-quart vacuum seal bags, user manual, and 1-year limited warranty

Customers are mixed about the seal quality of the vacuum sealer machine. Some mention that it seems to make a good seal if you have good bags, and it's easy to use. However, others say that the bags would never seal or that the seal would leak after awhile. They also mention that the sealing surface is narrow, so your bags need cut straight.

"...to purchase it, in the long run it will save you money by preventing freezer burn and increasing the longevity of product freezer life AND you won't..." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the suction of the vacuum sealer machine. They mention that it won't vacuum air out of the bags, it sucks it through the opening while it's trying to seal, and that the generic bags do not vacuum as tightly as the more expensive bags. It's easy to use, but it doesn't always vacuum bags completely before the sealing process begins. Some customers also mention that the bags lose vacuum pretty quickly.

"...n't get it to seal AT ALL, and when I did it seemed my bags lost vacuum pretty quickly...." Read more

"...It didn't vacuum, just sealed, but I loved the way things like leftover turkey stayed fresh and juicy, and I could reheat in boiling water...." Read more

"...If, for some reason, the vacuum isn't good enough (happens rarely, but happens), recycle that bag and start over...." Read more

"...Also, vacuum function works well for most meat, veggies, fruit, cookie dough, etc.,..." Read more

My "How to use". the Seal-A-Meal. Added some picture details. Handiest kitchen item EVER !!
5 Stars
My "How to use". the Seal-A-Meal. Added some picture details. Handiest kitchen item EVER !!
Good price for a great product !! Not sure why I ever used Ziploc freezer bags instead of thisvacuum sealer and bags!! Ziploc bags were hard to squeeze air out of (using rolling pin) to getas much air as possible out of the Ziploc bag before sealing. This sealer is very easy to size andseal vacuum bags.1. Insert end of bag while on roll just past the sealing/heating strip (NOT into vacuum area)ensuring that the end of the plastic is flat with no wrinkles.2. Close top and press down with heels of both hands on the words “press here” (just INSIDEof the two hands) shown on the unit.3. Vacuum pumping begins and starts to seal quickly.4. When BOTH LED’s come on, let go.5. When lights go out, DO NOT press the "Open/Cancel" button !! Allow unit to continue sealing (LED's go out after about 10 seconds) for up to 30 seconds or more before the sealing stops and you hear a “pfft” sound as vacuum escapes and lid pops up a bit. If it doesn’t continue seal for at least 20 seconds, there might be something wrong. If longer than 40 seconds, press “Open/Cancel” button to release/stop sealing. Note: If you want a double seal (I do this), slide bag in another 1/2 inch and repeat steps 2 thru 5. TIP: If item to be stored contains juices, before sealing in bags, place item(s) in the unsealed bag (I pre-freeze in ziploc first), place in freezer for about 45 minutes before sealing. This will freeze any juices in the item to be sealed so juices won't be sucked into the seal when you are vacuum sealing the bag. MUCH more reliable seal and keeps unit much cleaner.6. Cut off required length of bag plus about two inches. Note: My items are already in a ziploc bag so I lay item on top of the roll to measure while bag is STILL inside the seal-a-meal.7. Place item to be stored into the bag.8. If item has been in the freezer, wipe inner lip of bag with paper towel to dry9. Insert unsealed end of bag just past the sealing/heating strip and half way into juice catch tray. Note: Ensure that the end of the bag is a flat as possible with NO WRINKLES. If necessary, lower top of unit, hold down one side of top and stretch bag with other hand so bag is flat before sealing. If item is thick, place pot holder under item to allow better flattening of bag.10. With top closed, press down with both hands just inside of the two hands shown on the unit.11. Vacuum pumping begins and will take up to around 20 seconds. Note: If “Sealing” LED doesn’t come on, there is a vacuum leak !! Press “Open/Cancel”, remove wrinkles (if possible) and try again !12. When BOTH LED’s come on, let go.13. After about 20 seconds or so, vacuum and sealing is done and lights go out.14. When lights go out, DO NOT press the "Open/Cancel" button !! Allow unit to continue sealing for up to 30 seconds or more before the sealing stops and you hear a “pfft” sound as vacuum escapes and lid pops up a bit. If it doesn’t continue seal for at least 20 seconds, there might be something wrong. If more than 40 seconds, press “Open/Cancel” to release/stop sealing. Note: If you want a double seal (I do this), slide bag OUT about 1/2 inch and repeat steps 10 thru 14.I LOVE this product !!
