Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro, Includes Large Bag Roll (19ft), Wet & Dry Dual Food Vacuum Sealer Machine for Sous Vide and Long-Term Storage, 2-Year Warranty

Yes - It's compatible with Kirkland and other brand bags. Picked this up on a sale and I've been using it multiple times a week ever since. This has let me buy the big packs of meat or entire roasts and break them down into portions for our family for freezing. Everything that I've vacuum sealed comes out absolutely perfect with no freezer burn. The unit seals well but the workflow I've found the best is to seal it still on the roll, chop off what I think I will need with a bit extra, put in my food, rough measurement to where the bag will reach the vacuum sealing area and have where the heating elements unobstructed. It will take a little practice. I find on my counter putting a cutting board to raise up the bag/food helps me to line it up more evenly. I've also found that for moist foods with liquid that running the vacuum manually and sealing when I see the liquid JUST start to get pulled past the heating element gets me a good seal. I'll typically seal once, dry the excess with a paper towel and the. Seal right above the first one to ensure I have a good air tight with no risks of leaks. Easy to use, buttons are fairly self explanatory although I don't find the automatic modes to be very good. On dry foods it crushes them and on wet foods it sucks a bunch of liquid into that opening. I haven't had much luck with that manual canning mode even on ziplocs. I grabbed it on sale and I think it's a good value. It's a good width and will do most sized vacuum bags I've seen.

After about a decade or so, my FoodSaver v4400 suddenly died. At the time of its purchase, it was the top of the line. I thought about replacing it with another one, but then I recalled that it was not exactly the best experience. The automated bag detection system worked, but the reason it existed in the first place is because the user had to stick the bag into a slot far enough for the machine to functional, but not too far. This meant that there was some trial and error with each usage. I also remembered that the I could not always get great suction or an ideal seal. Again, this was a function of the design. I read a number of reviews for the latest FoodSavers and many of the reviews state that the newer ones are not as good as the earlier models. These were the things that led me to consider alternative solutions. Most of the reviews of today's top vacuum sealers indicated that either the Anova or the Nesco was a better choice. I opted for the Anova over the Nesco because of one simple feature. With the Anova, I can keep sealing one bag and another. The Nesco needs time in between seals to rest. Because I tend to do all the bagging and then all the sealing, the Anova made a lot more sense. If that is not your habit, you might prefer the superior vacuum strength of the Nesco. The Anova turned out to be the answer to all my problems. The design is much different. The user can see the seal strip and where the bag goes for vacuuming making the whole operation easy and predictable. The Anova simply has more vacuum suction power than by old V4400 and that not only translates to an improved reduction of air, but also significantly faster vacuuming. It does, however, take a little longer to seal - and that is probably in part due to the superior double seal. Overall, I think it is faster. More importantly, it does a better job, and it does it all the time. It is also a small and lighter machine offering all the features of the v4400 -for about 1/2 the cost. I do not know yet if the Anova will last 10 years, but it does come with a warranty that is double that of a new v4400. And it can use the exact same bags as the FoodSaver.

I've been using this vacuum sealer regularly for about a year now and feel that I can give a good balanced review now. I use it for sous vide cooking and also to prepare food items for freezer storage. The unit worked great for the first 3 months. It sucked every bit the air out of the bags and made a perfect seal. After the 4 month mark, I noticed it was more finicky - it would take several attempts, and the bag had to be positioned just so, in order to get all the air out. A few times the seal proved to be not perfect and it let air into the bag and allowed fluid to leak into the sous vide bath. Lately it works only half the time - it takes multiple attempts to get a true vacuum and I have to seal at least twice to be sure the seal will hold in the sous vide. Another annoying thins is that the controls don't work as before - it used to be one click to vacuum and seal, now it's hit and miss if the seal function will work after the vacuum function. Another thing is the external pulse vacuum feature - so you can use use reusable bags - does not work at all - no suction whatsoever. I'm frankly disappointed that the unit failed after only a year. It's out of warranty so I can't get warranty service. I would not purchase this again nor recommend it. While it is inexpensive relative to other better known brands, it does not go the distance. If I had to do it over again, I would spend more money for a unit with better longevity. Or get a much cheaper brand that I know I'll have to replace in a year - which I loathe doing.

This vacuum sealer is the bomb. Great size for varying applications. The double sealing and not being limited on how many bags can be sealed in a row is a game changer. For the price, not waiting until the heat strip cooled down was worth the little extra money I spent. If you haven't tried vacuum sealing, start today. Costco and only one person in the house, no problem. Vacuum seal what can't be used and only seal up what you need for meal preparation. Since purchasing, I have sealed 100 bags of different type of food and no breaking of the vacuum seal

Si es para ti casa está bien, en mi caso intenté con otra marca de bolsas al vacío y no funciona de la misma manera, tuve que comprar más rollos de la misma marca (anova) solo así funciona

Ordered from Dubai. Description said 220V. I received 120V. Waste of time.

product was not suitable for german voltage of 220 V the manufacturer as well as amazon.de should have exercised diligence and not shipped product with incorrect voltage rating the machine was taken to india and i could not return it within return window period.
