Tristar Euro Sealer Battery Operated Vacuum Sealer Machine

Overall: Decent product for certain uses.Duration Owned: 12 monthsPros:Does a nice job sealing heavier bags (chip, cookies, etc.) type material, with some practiceIt is nice to have a freshly sealed bag if travelling with items or for other transportation and improved freshnessCons:Does NOT work for any bags with a lighter material (such as Ziploc bag material). This product essentially reseals the bag or other items by melting and fusing the material together. In my experience this too quickly melts lighter materials such as this and is not easily used to seal these types of bags.

This sealer is alright but built pretty cheap and will not last long. I bought it for one purpose and used it and forgot that I had it somewhere. It will work if you are not doing a lot of sealing but only a few containers a year. The price is very good and as usual you get what you pay for.

This little sealer works pretty good. I purchased it to use in the RV. It works great for my needs. I mostly use it for sealing breakfast cereal and chip bags. It does not work as well as the bigger sealers you buy from the big box stores but it's great for small jobs and takes up very little space in smaller confined living quarters.

This is an extremely useful kitchen tool. I would have given it 5 stars but the wire burnt through the pad within a month. Having said that, 6 months later it still works even though the pads are burnt out. This is my second euro sealer and if it broke I would probably buy another one.

The sealer works great! I had one years ago and it finally quit after a lot of use, so I was glad to find this one on Amazon. The magnet on the back is too weak to hold the sealer up. It keeps sliding down the side of my refrigerator.

I had one of these when they originally came out. Back then it worked awesome. The one I received off Amazon has a defect where the heating element is sharp so whether it seals a bag or not it cuts it.

Months ago I had this sealer, but the magnet is not strong and it fell and broke. Was thrilled to find this on Amazon.com; I would give it 5 stars if the magnet was across the entire underneath; as it is, it isn't strong enough to stay where I would prefer hanging it.

Having discarded my large vacuum sealer because it didn't seal properly and took up too much room, I can say I am pleased to recommend this product. It's tiny (and fits on the fridge with a magnet on the back) and has sealed very well. I'm so glad I bought it, I am purchasing more so my friends can have this nifty little gadget themselves.UPDATE: I have used this a few times a month for the past 4-5 months and it has now quit working. New batteries did nothing. Back to the binder clips and twisty ties - this went in the garbage!
