Vacuum Sealer Machine with 160W Double Pump, Full Automoatic Pro Vacuum Sealer for Food Preservation with Liquid/Moist/Dry Food, Food Sealer with Removable Drip Tray, Roll Storage and Cutter | Powerful Suction Full Automoatic Food Sealer,Fast Continuous Sealing System,Built-in Cutter & Bag Storage, Drip Tray

I received this just in time for the beginning of our fall harvests. The first thing I noticed was the weight- it’s heavy, in a good way, as it feels much more solid than my old Food Saver. It seems very well made, with a great roll holder and cutter incorporated into the machine. While the buttons are fairly intuitive, I did read the included instruction manual to explain “pulse” and “gentle”, new to me. I first tried a simple “dry” and ‘vacuum and seal’ on normal. I was packaging dehydrated zucchini slices, and found that it worked great, but since the food was so dry, it made a bit of a crunching sound. So I used the ‘pulse’ and ‘seal’, following the instructions, and it was perfect. I love that feature the best, as you can decide how much to vacuum before sealing. For sun dried tomatoes, the regular setting worked great and I think that will be the setting I use most often, except for very wet and liquidy foods. The ‘moist’ and ‘liquid’ settings are great, although I only tried them each once. The ‘liquid’ setting would be suitable for foods for sous vide for sure, and the gentle vacuum setting means the force of the vacuum would be less on foods with liquid. The time to vacuum and seal was amazingly quick, and it has settings to make it take longer to seal, or shorter, but I found it was perfect with the default. The options are something I’ve never had before in a vacuum sealer, and I think the versatility is better than others I’ve used in the past. I really like the size of this machine- solid and big enough to be able to use any size bag, but not taking up more room in the cabinet than the old Food Saver I had. The seal it makes is thick and firmly secure. The included bag roll is a nice bonus- good quality and perfect fit inside. It comes with the attachments for canisters but I’ve never used those in the past, and don’t anticipate every using it, but it looked well made as well when I unboxed everything. Extra seals are included as well. I plan on using this for packaging our harvested venison for the freezer, as well as other meat too. I was concerned about the price vs cheaper models, but I’ve had cheaper ones in the past and it’s true you get what you pay for. Overall, I’d give this vacuum sealer an A on quality for the price as well as the vacuum sealer itself. Sturdy, well made, quick, fairly quiet (it does make some noise as do other vacuum sealers), and dependable on the vacuum seals it created make this a good buy and I’m very happy with this. I would recommend it.

Right from unboxing this sealer it looked deluxe compared to my last two sealers. Much more control of the pressure and sealing time than I had on my other units. Being new to the sealer we just kept it at the default setting for pressure and sealing time. I had a few pounds of pulled pork that I smoked to freeze . Cut a bag sealed it filled with pulled pork and began to seal. even at the default setting the two packs of pork shrunk down to rock hard. I was impressed. I also had two huge Chuck Roasts to freeze. Again, at the default setting It pumped the air out easily. Worked like a champ. Did a more than adequate job but if I was to do it over again, I would have increased the pressure to 4 instead of 3 just to see the difference. I know I will have a learning curve experimenting with the controls that I didn't have on the base models that I have used. I think it's a great sealer with a lot of power and versatility. Seems like a quality-built machine. Will it stand the test of time? I think it has a good chance! I can't wait to use it again. The price was quite a bit more than my previous sealers, but if you want or need to tailor the control to the job this sealer might be for you.

In general, this sealer works well. It occasionally has trouble getting a vacuum, but a little fiddling generally sorts it out. Nor is it exactly quiet. I was shocked the first few times it came on. I thought something must be wrong. All that said, I use this frequently and would purchase it again (assuming it lasts long enough to warrant consideration).

We love this vacuum sealer! We recently used this past weekend in processing for pigs and simultaneously used a newly purchased Food Saver vacuum sealer to compare. This unit was highly preferred and had a lot of features we really appreciated, just a couple of things we wish could be tweaked and that would create a seriously amazing machine. Best features: - Handle for easy lifting and closing. Much preferred over locking buttons or lever mechanisms that most other brands have. They saved our thumbs and the weight of the top of the machine made it a breeze to use for the long time span we had used it for. - Storage for one roll and included magnet latch for cutting bags. No more needing to use scissors or a paper cutter! This was one of the best improvements from the previous sealer we used. - Large tray for collection of liquid while sealing. Compared to the food saver we used, the tray for collection was incredibly larger and even though we weren’t doing food that was wet or had much liquid come out, it would’ve been much easier to clean had that been the case. - This was a workhorse: we used it for about 13 hours without a whole lot of long breaks. The day prior to our processing, I also had to create about 300 bags and it had no issues in doing that amount of work. Areas for improvement: - Downward sloping section for vacuum seal area. The only upside of the Food Saver that we used was that it had a downward sloped section at the front of the machine which allowed ease of use in positioning the bag and keeping into position while the unit was closed. This unit is simply flat and raised a few inches from the counter which required some finesse while positioning the opening of the bag in order to make sure it would seal appropriately. This was not a make or break problem but for the number of times that we sealed food, it was just slightly cumbersome. Keep in mind, this does have a little bit bigger footprint than other models but is not at all heavy for the size. my brother-in-law literally could not stop talking about how much he loved this unit and has used several in the past. If you are a homesteader or process large amounts of meat or produce on a regular basis, this is an awesome unit to start out with and I think the bang for your buck is incredible. Quit reading reviews and just buy it already ;)

I don’t know if I just got a dud or what. This sealer does not vacuum very well. I owned an Foodsaver before it finally gave out, and it always created a tight air-free seal. I bought the Inkbird because of price and Amazon made it their overall pick. All of my bags that I vacuumed and sealed or loose which means there is air in the bag. I even bought inkbird bags which made no difference. And it only has a 1 year warranty versus other brands which have a 5 year warranty. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I didn’t use it until lately, and I missed the warranty cut-off. TERRIBLE SEALER!!!

Got this a few days ago as a deal with Inkbird. I've been on the fence about a vacuum sealer for a while, but I like Inkbird products so I thought to give it a try. The machine is very simple to use and seems solid enough. Since this is my first sealer, I would have liked the instructions to be a bit clearer. I had to read them over a couple times and study the machine a bit to understand how to work with it, particularly in regard to custom sized bags. But once I understood it, use was a breeze. I really like the built in custom size bag cutting tool (see pic). And the top controls are self explanatory once you understand how the machine works Not sure how this machine compares to others since it is my first one, but my first few seals were easy and seemed to seal well so I think this one will suit my needs well.

We bought a food saver brand vacuum sealer at Sam's about 3 years ago. We use it quite regularly. This item is a better value. It may cost more but the options it has are way beyter and easily set up. The motor performance is way better as is having some fluid in the bag. The seal strip is twice as wide as the food saver strip, this in my opinion proved it is was superior!!! I posted a picture of the difference im the seals and one has a sharpie for reference, the inkbird is wider than the the whole marker on a sharpie, the food saver was barely as wide at the tip. The only fault I have is it doesn't have a lock function on it for storage. The inkbird does have a removable power cord, our food saver is actually tearing at the termination point on the sealer and had a few exposed wires and that started within a year. It's worth the price! If you ever see this on sale, jump on it!!! It comes with extra bags and an extra sealant gasket.

I've owned 2 or 3 other vacuum sealer machines in the past; this one far exceeds the others. I find that some machines are often finicky about positioning of the unsealed ends, or how much empty space there is in the bag - but this Inkbird gets the job done without issue on the first try. I LOVE that there is space inside of the machine to hold your roll, and the cutter is right there to trim your bags to the right size - so space efficient! It's really light so it's great to pack away when I'm not using it and easily pull it out when I need to pack up leftovers or prep for sous vide. It handles both wet and dry ingredients and is so easy to clean. Seems well made and I anticipate it'll last a long time. Overall, very happy with purchase!
