Mainstays Food Vacuum Sealer Machine, Powerful Multi-Mode Food Sealer With Built-In Bag Cutter & Storage, Accessory Port for Jars/Canisters, Includes (1) 11 in Roll, For Meal Prep & Freezer Storage

The vacuum sealer works very well. it does not "feel" as heavy duty as our previous sealer, a different brand, that stoped working after a few years, but so far it performs very well. Our daughter bought one for own use, and after using hers, we decided to purchase our own. We like the pulse function. We like the roll of vacuum packaging fitting in the sealer, but we will probably buy our own off brand because it is less expensive. We just have to store and cut it separately. One tip we have is to pre-freeeze items like baked goods and fruit. This prevents baked goods from getting. mushed / sucked flat, and all the juice from getting sucked out of the fruit. We lay sliced strawberries on a line sheet pan, freeze them, the vacuum seal them to freeze for future use. Works great! We recommend this Vacuum Sealer. it is a good value, and seals well.

Received the machine yesterday and I’ve used it several times since. The box had clearly been opened before and resealed with clear tape. The product didn’t seem to be disturbed though so I just kept the sealer despite it clearly being a return. I bought it as new so shame shame Walmart. There’s a learning curve with the product. The instructions say leave 2 inches at the top before sealing but I’ve found it’s better to just leave 3 or even 4. I went through several feet on the roll just trying to figure out how to get the seal to stay. I sealed a lot of frozen soup cubes just to find that bags were no longer vacuumed the next day. I’ll chalk that up to me and not the machine though. You get what you pay for and it’s clear why this machine is so much cheaper than the alternatives. The suction isn’t that powerful but it’s enough to get the job done. Expect several typos in the instructions. And on a hilarious note, the bag roll storage compartment in the machine isn’t actually big enough for the replacement rolls. Still though, this machine let me realize that I do like vacuum sealing leftovers and I’ll use it until it inevitably dies in a year or so.
