NESCO® VS-12 Deluxe Vacuum Sealer & 100 Pre-Cut Bags Bundle, Heavy-Duty Food Sealer Kit with 50 Quart + 50 Gallon Bags for Meat Storage, Meal Prep & Sous Vide

Bought to replace an identical vacuum sealer that died after 3 years of moderate use, averaging about 3 times per month. The replacement was required because of operator error. I had some very expensive machines and none lasted more than a year. I've had several models of the food saver brand. One major problem I've had with other brands over time the sealed package leaks.The food/meats form crystals and a few times have had to be thrown away. Never had that problem with this machine. I have T bones sealed with this machine that have been in the freezer nearly 4 months. They remain sealed no leaks. I also use it to souse vide meats and have never had a sealed package leak. Last week I souse vide a 5 lb eye of round for 27 hours and no leaking. Highly recommend this machine.

Very pleased with this purchase. I did some Research before purchasing and this was top rated on several sites. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. It's worth the money research before purchasing and this was top rated on several sites. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. It's worth the money as expensive as groceries are to buy in bulk and vacuum seal portions so you're not throwing away food. I buy in bulk and vacuum seal portions so you're not throwing away food.
