Hamilton Beach NutriFresh Food Vacuum Sealer Machine for Liquids and Food Preservation with 2-Roll Storage & Starter Kit, Model 78218

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this NutriFresh vacuum sealer! It's fun and exciting to use as well. The process can be quite confusing at first especially for someone who has never used one. There are precut, bottom sealed bags and a roll of large and small bags that are not precut. The inside of the unit has a place to store the rolls as well as a tool to cut them to the size you need. I love that you can store the bags inside! It is so much easier to find them and also is way more convenient since the bags are already right there inside. You have to cut and seal the end of a bag from the roll before placing any food inside. With the roll bags you have total control over the length of the bag because you decide where to cut it. Once you have the bag placement in the little ditch (easiest way to describe it) it works very well at vacuum sealing. The machine is quite loud but it's easy to get use to. There is a feature to lock the lid down which keeps the bag inside the unit. It's much easier sealing food without having to hold the bag as well. The only thing I didn't care for is the date stamper. It's wonderful that I can add a date and have it on the bag without having to write it but it's very difficult to see. It's imbedded into the bag and it's small. Half the time I wasn't cutting the bag correctly enough where the date needed to be to be seen in the colored area of the bag. Or felt like my bag was too long and being wasteful just so I'd have the date space in the correct spot inside the machine just so I could better read it. It also was put on the back of the bag accidentally. I'll probably stick to writing the dates because it's far more legible. This machine also includes a hose to vacuum seal liquids. This food sealer is wonderful to have in my house. I love vacuum sealing all my frozen food and placing it in my deep freezer. I feel like it's more organized and nicer looking! Very pleased.
