Pros & Cons
Pros
The vacuuming itself is incredibly easy. The only complaint is that sometimes the vibration of the machine will kick the bag out of the heat bar and it won’t seal.
Food saver format has a lot of prep. The slightly sloped vacuum chamber makes packaging liquids, like soups and stocks, easy. The vacmaster is more versatile than food saver type sealer.
My entire pantry is full of vacuum packed, canning jars of various sizes from tiny ones for spices, to giant ones for things like flour and rice. These are much more expensive thancanning jars but it’s nice to have a couple for big items like leftover... Read More
Largest freestanding appliance in my kitchen. It's heavier than a microwave.
I can count on the machine chugging to life and doing a great job. The only other cautionary note is that one has to be sure one has the counter space and overhead clearance needed for the machine.
Highlights
Quality
I am really pleased with the performance reliability and ease of use
Very happy with the performance so far
Ive watched the youtube set up videos and none of them say anything about having to do anything with the sealer
I went with the recommended machine settings noticed a couple of days later that one of the bags had let in air
Price
The cost is very low and much better for you then anything you can buy premade
The point is this the cost is up front but the savings will pay it back because this is true food storage system
Shipping
We use the tattler site with free shipping
The seller was very responsive to questions regarding shipping etc
It most likely happened during shipping due to how much this sealer weights
Packaging/appearance
This machine excels at vacuum packaging foods for the freezer and fridge as other reviewers have said so i wont go into that
We use it every several months to repackage 3040 pounds of meat at a time into 0
I was worried when i saw a puncture in the box
It doesnt suck air out of the bag if creates a vacuum in the entire chamber
Competitiveness
We have owned a vacmaster vp215 for 12 years and it has been so reliable for us
Perfect airtight seals on the heavier 4mil chamber pouches
Those foodsaver suction types have severe limitations for any amateur home cook interested in sous vide cooking
I dont trust these ingredients now so ive been putting them in ziplock bags
