Anova Culinary Vacuum Sealer, Slim & Compact, Includes 10 Pre-Cut Bags (BPA-Free), Wet & Dry Dual Food Vacuum Sealer Machine for Sous Vide and Long-Term Storage, 2-Year Warranty

Works well very basic. I liked this one so much I bought a second one for my sister.If I changed anything I would request a female port to access ball jar lid attachment. As it is I have to use the male port. This replaces a 30+ year old name brand, wore it out cracked plastic. A second fancy Costco do it all self contained $300. What a hunk of junk. Never worked properly Apperantly just like it was designed to do.

We needed to replace our old vacuum sealer. This was highly rated by Consumer Reports and the price is great so we have it a try. It has about every feature you could need. The gaskets are removal and washable. It's pretty quiet and does an exceptional job of vacuum sealing the meat we get from Sam's. Don't spend $100 on one of these, this one is all you need.

This worked really good for almost five years. Today it started shooting sparks out of the cord where it connects. I guess we just wore it out, so will order another one. Hope it lasts as long.

It’s compact and the pulse feature allows you to control how much air is vacuumed out.

I've had a sous vide for years but had perfected my ziploc bag technique. The vac sealer is so much better. Just be careful with the bags you get. I have the ANOVA roll of bags and sometimes the seal doesn't totally take (I suspect this is my fault and an issue with how the bags curl when I load them into the machine). I've noticed this when I prep meats a few days ahead of sous vide-ing, one of the bags will have air in it and no longer be sealed. I haven't had any issues when putting sealed bags into the sous vide.

The only reason I gave it a one star rating was because there were no zero stars. This is a cheaply made vacuum sealer. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it because I don’t believe it can be returned because I am past the 30 days. I have tried to reach customer service several times being told that I would receive a phone call which never came. I don’t know if a vacuum sealer that cost more would be any better, but I would like to have the opportunity to turn in the one that I have and spend the extra money for another one.

Great quality. This product is easy to clean and use! Yet small enough to store away in a drawer. Wet or dry products, you can suck the air out and seal! Super easy to use!

Still using this after two years.
