## Overview

The Weston Brands Pro 2300 Vacuum Sealer is a commercial-grade, stainless steel powerhouse designed for serious food preservation. With a robust 935-watt motor and an extra-wide 15-inch seal bar, it delivers fast, dependable vacuum sealing—even through moisture. Its fan-cooled motor supports continuous use without overheating, while dual seal modes offer precision control for all food types. Ideal for bulk buyers and meal preppers, this machine transforms food storage into a professional, time-saving ritual.

## Description

The stainless steel pro-2300 has everything you need in a vacuum sealer speed: With a powerful double piston pump and seal bar to finish the job in half the time. Flexibility: The extra-long, 15" seal bar means you can seal a variety of vacuum sealer bag sizes up to 15" wide. Power: With 935 watts of power, this is one of the most powerful chamber sealers on the market. It even seals through moisture dependability: an extra wide, 5mm seal bar creates a solid, dependable seal every time. Durability: The fan cooled motor is designed specifically for continuous, repetitive use without overheating. Led lights monitor the stages of the sealing process. There are two seal modes depending on the type of sealing you are doing. The automatic mode has a simple one-touch operation, while the manual seal mode allows you to control the amount of vacuum pressure when sealing soft foods or delicate objects. The transparent acrylic lid makes it easy to align the bag perfectly for sealing. The power cord is detachable, and fits within a convenient storage compartment.

Review: Still working great - update! - We're looking at bulk Milk (Land-O-Lakes, Dry Whole Milk, makes 47 gallons), and lots of Rice, in 4 varieties, all which we buy in BULK. Breaking these down to 3-4 serving sizes, add the oxygen absorber & desiccant packet, and they get stored in clear storage buckets in the basement. We've had this thing a number of years - it easily beats everything else in speed, making a good seal, this unit is FAST, like you'd expect from a production unit! This unit is a time saver, a huge time saver, delivering a high quality evacuation & seal 99% of the time. Pros: Speed of vacuum is outstanding. Nice WIDE seal you can visually inspect for quality, wider than the actual bags we use. The bags from Weston are first quality, with a checked patter on one side, the air gets sucked out of the bags *fast*. Easy to clean & robust! Not the flimsy kind of thing. The thick, clear, hinged cover - wonderful to finally SEE if you're messing things up. We have done HUNDREDS of bags in 4 sizes, with far fewer "failures" than our "seal-a-meal" units... This is a high quality unit, we haven't had to replace a single part (we do clean it well, before & after use), I suspect, given the quality of Weston - this is the last vacuum sealer unit we'll ever buy. Lastly, it is QUIET compared to the seal-a-meal units. It is worth the higher price, with food prices soaring, we look for deals, and repackage in 3-4 serving sizes. After 3 years of sitting in the freezer - meats have ZERO evidence of Freezer burn - still tastes as good as the day we vacuum packed it... something I cannot say for the cheaper units. The cover, IMO, makes the difference in sealing, stiff & heavy duty, gives you a solid, even seal. Cons: Yeah, it's big & bulky, heavy - not the kind of unit you'll keep on your counter. I wish we could use it more often, but pulling it out of the box, setting it up (clearing counter space... plugging it in... OK, we're getting OLD and a bit lazy, not as strong). One thing about the weight ... where you put it on the counter or table, it's not gonna STAY, which is actually a PLUS, it's not gonna need suction cups to stay put, so the rubber feet & weight keep it from sliding around as you open and close and seal. I wish it had a little "ramp" for the front, sloping or level would work, because we like to get the seal as close to the food as possible, and cut off the excess bag, a sloping ramp would be ideal. Tips: USE A LITTLE PRESSURE - rest your hand on the handle!!! We vacuum pack "meals" which saves us LOTS of time cooking - "heat and serve" works for us! We use Weston 1qt. 1/2gal & 1gal., size bags. The 1/2 gallon size get the most use for SOUPS ... yes, like Chili, Baked Potato Soup, Broccoli & Cheese, lots of liquid type soups. The secret is a little downward pressure, with your left hand on the black handle, WATCH the bag evacuate, hit the seal button with your right hand, as soon as you see the liquid coming towards the edge of the unit (all the air looks like it's gone). It's gonna happen FAST, so be ready. What works GREAT for soups, is to create a 3/4-1" thick bag of soup, which thaws quickly when run under hot water, and maximizes storage in your freezer (freeze the bags FLAT). For the best packaging, to get it nice and FLAT, we put a couple of books under the front of the unit, so the bag is Level to the cover, then we just slide a hand over the bag to "pre-squeeze" some of the air out. The bag lies flat, and we hit the switch. First time trying to do a bag of soup - I hit the seal button, when I saw it sucking Chili into the unit (Aieeeee! It's making a mess!), and much to our surprise, it still worked perfectly! The cleanup was quick (damp rag), and back in business. We routinely buy in BULK, even with most of the 8 kids moved out, we continue to look for bulk deals, and repackage for 3-4 serving use (3 of us, occasionally a guest). We have used this for Powders, Solids & Liquids successfully. Occasionally, we get a bag that leaks. For things that do not need refrigeration, Rice, Noodles, we 'give it a day' to see if they leaked (sharp, pointed foods puncture bags). Buy Bags, you're not saving anything buying rolls. We wound up with at least half a dozen rolls... you know the routine, cut the size you want, seal one end, to make it a 'bag', and feel good about yourself, because you think you saved $.02 making your own custom size bags - too much work! Wife & I like to "get the job done" and get back to the farm work. On our farm, we've been putting food by, over 18 years, both wifey and I grew up with parents who canned - that is *work* and *dedication* to spend a whole weekend in front of 2 big canners, steaming away. We also dry foods, with 2 dehydrators - and then vacuum pack. The amount of TIME we've saved with this Weston Pro-2300 probably amounts of WEEKS of canning, by comparison. ---- (original review) We've been vacuum sealing meats and vegetables for decades with a Seal-o-meal unit. It was OK, other than we'd have to seal at least 2x to get a leak proof seal, sometimes we didn't realize the seal was no good until it had been in the freezer awhile. Pretty much hit and miss. Recently we bought a Weston meat grinder, with an awesome sausage stuffing spiral - makes GREAT hot dogs, sausages, everything! Decided to replace the old Seal-oops-meal with this Weston Pro-2300. I got what we wanted, it's currently being used for packaging pulled and chopped pork, here's what the kids say. a. It is FAST. 10-15 seconds from hitting the start button, it's completely DONE. b. The WIDE seal has been flawless. One time sealing, and it's DONE. The sealing strip on the bag is almost 1/4" wide.... that ain't gonna leak! c. Stainless Steel looks good, like a professional appliance, it's easy to keep clean. d. Quiet, yes, it doesn't sound like it's struggling to pull a vacuum, we're talking a fast, quiet vacuum pump - it took a little practice, after squeezing and massaging bags to get as much air out as possible (seal-o-meal), this thing quickly and quietly pulls it out, sometimes in less than 5 seconds. e. The clear TOP to the vacuum chamber is a really nice PLUS. It's very thick, and being clear you can see if liquids are being sucked into this overflow tray. It's also nice to see "how much bag" is actually inserted into the unit. f. Heavy duty and rubber feet that stays PUT as you fumble around with bags. The seal-o-meal would slip and slide all over the place, while we were trying to get the darn edge of the bag inserted and the cover down. g. here's a Pro and Con... It'll do a big, wide bag like nothing else. It'll take up counter space - yep, we're using it 2x a week for the pork processing, veggies... we still can't find a good place to store it, it's both good & bad, heavy duty, commercial unit, and big. If you're considering this unit, or another brand - consider that clear top, fast vacuum pump & wide seal on the bags. This isn't a kitchen appliance "toy". Would I buy it again? Well... my daughter is getting married (finally), gonna buy a house and put in a garden. We struggled with the seal-o-meal for 3 decades, and it was over $285, probably 10x that in rolls of bags. What a waste. One of these, with the smallest and medium size bags will be less expensive. Oh, get the pre-made bags, in bulk, you won't regret it - it'll do the roll bags too, just more work and costs more.
Review: Excellent vacuum sealer - so much better than off the shelf! - Finally, I found a vacuum sealer that works! My third Food Saver was dying a slow, painful death,so I was in search of something that would work and last. We shop once a month and buy in bulk to save money. It was a major chore trying to get the meat put up - having to double seal every bag on both ends to keep them from opening, having to do two to three bags and then wait 10 - 20 minutes between sealings (got worse the more bags were sealed). Depending on the amount of meat we bought, it would take days to get done. Not any more! This Weston has power, but doesn't over-vacuum. It adjusts to the item you are sealing. It totally crushed an energy drink can I used to test the vacuum power, but unlike the Food Saver, it doesn't squeeze the juices out of the meat making the food dry when you cook it. The Weston has fans to cool the vacuum motor - so no more having to take long breaks to let it cool down. It has an extremely wide seal - no more double sealing the bags. And since it doesn't squeeze the juices out - I can make my bags about 2 inches shorter without having the juices try to flow up into the seal or worse, into the machine. The bags for this machine are much more economical than the Food Saver brand bags, and much stronger. I haven't had a bone cut through one yet. I read reviews on this machine where people complained about the foam vacuum chamber seal crushing and having to be replaced. The instructions state to press down "lightly" on the handle until the seal catches - I just lay one finger on it and it works perfectly. Evidently some people don't know what lightly means. Even if it does wear out eventually - at least it can be replaced instead of having to replace the whole machine. Overall, I am very happy with it. Hopefully it will stand the test of time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've read most of the reviews; most favorable on performance.  What comment do purchasers have for the long term; 6 months, 1 year?**
A: I purchased this on Jan 5, 2013 and it's now Dec 19, 2022 and it still performs like new.  I don't use it daily but will vacuum seal ~50ish packages of meat I process every year.  Would definitely recommend.

**Q: how do you seal chicken?**
A: We seal fresh chicken breasts, cooked chicken in various forms, chicken stock, and completed main (chicken) courses, for that matter ...  Cut the bag to appropriate size and seal end.  Put chicken inside.  Press seal button ...  Write "chicken" and date on end with sharpie and put in freezer.Maybe I don't understand your question.  If you are referring to a WHOLE chicken, I wouldn't do that - you are sealing in air inside the cavity.  Cut the chicken up first.  if you want to seal something with a lot of juices or sauce, this sealer isn't the best choice, though you can do it.  For liquids (chicken stock) and other things with a lot of liquid or sauce, we use an impulse sealer.  An alternative would be to freeze the dish (or stock) first.  We put up things like frozen chicken pot pies after we freeze them first.  In fact, we freeze then seal them right in the pyrex over bowls!

**Q: Would the Pro-2300 work with the Foodsaver zipper bags via the Foodsaver zipper bag adapter?**
A: What do you mean by "Foodsaver zipper bags via the Foodsaver zipper bag adapter"?  Are you asking if you can use bags other than those specifically sold for the Weston?

**Q: Does the machine come with any bags?**
A: The 3000 unit does not come with any bags.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beast
*by J***A on December 10, 2012*

Just as the title says, this is a beast. The unit works well and it is very quiet on the kitchen counter top. It is heavy so, although the misses does not like it to stay on the counter, that's where it rests. I have packed a total of 96 bags since I purchased it. Most of the meat was from deer season but when we buy bulk meats and chicken at the warehouse stores this bad boy gets a work out. It is extremely important to allow a pathway for air to escape the bag in order to get the best results. I had to redo a few venison steak bags because air kept getting trapped at the bottom because of the way I packed the steaks initially. Took me about three bags and 12 sets of steaks before I had them laid out in the bag for optimum air removal. If the sealer was any stronger it would suck the liquid from the item you are packing into the vacuum chamber. I tried to reseal a 4 pound bag of broccoli we purchased from the warehouse store but the unit would suck the ends of the bag together and trip the pressure switch so it would seal before any air was removed. You must used good quality vacuum bags to get the best results. I purchased the Weston pre-cut bags (6x10 & 8X12), I would not recommend the 6x10 bags, they are too small. I had a few other sealing bags laying around, they worked but not as good as the Weston bags. The unit works extremely well on re-sealing bags that were previously frozen in addition to new bag. The unit produces a very good seal but for best results it is a good idea to elevate the bag with the food you planning on sealing. Getting the bag at the same height of the sealer's vacuum chamber produces the best results. The only thing I would have liked to have seen on this sealer is a cutter for the rolled bags. It is pricey but we like to hunt and fish so we wanted something that would preserve our catch, this unit does the trick - no more freezer burned perch!
