ZWILLINGFresh & Save Vacuum Sealer Machine Starter Set with Airtight Food Storage Container Glass, Sous Vide Bags, Meal Prep

Amazing! So easy and effective. Perfect size and sealability. Worth every penny.

This is an excellent product and works better than expected. It's well designed, very easy to use, good quality and does exactly what I had hoped it would do. Have used it with a variety of the different bag sizes for freezing a variety of food items-worked great on everything! No freezer burn, ice crystals or food that's taste changed from the freezing. One tip: follow instructions and do quick-freeze on soft items such as bread, cookies BEFORE sealing the bag! I thought I'd be quick enough to stop pulling the air, but did squish a few items - much easier when you pre-freeze them. Also used the glass containers for leftovers, dried goods, etc. They are extremely high quality glass and absolutely seal out the air, though they are heavy. I hand wash the bags, sometimes soak with baking soda and water if there's any food odor on them and dry thoroughly before storing away. The glass containers, I've put in the dishwasher top rack, but carefully hand-wash the covers due to the rubber gaskets. This sealer and accessories works far better than any other sealer I've used and the idea that you're able to re-use the bags is a huge plus! As the old saying goes, "This is the best thing since sliced bread!" Highly recommend this for all those folks that, like me, have tried everything, but find other products bulky, wasteful and not really always quick and easy to use....

Update 06/23... I've made several purchases of this sytem. Fully committed. However, now I'm having issue with the lids staying sealed. I clean after every use, make sure the lid is properly positioned, and ensuring the pump has a good charge. Seems the medium size glass containers are the only ones I'm having issue with. Disappointed.Total game changer for me! Absolutely love this system. Use the containers for berries and salad greens mostly. Bags for freezing protein. I have fresh berries for 2 weeks. Raspberries 1 week. Normally raspberries are toast within 3 days because they're so delicate. Photos are at 14 daysBeing single hindered what I shopped for because of the waste. Throwing out fruit and vegetables has stopped!A tad pricey but worth it for me personally. The convenience of the hand held vaccume sealer brilliant. Charged it once 3weeks ago and still going!Buy it, you won't be disappointed

I rate this 4.5 Stars because I truly love the ZWILLING Fresh & Save Vacuum Sealer Machine Starter Set! I have just two suggestions for ZWILLING to improve:1) the liquid barriers do not work2) after a week or so, air begins slowly seeping into the bagsBut, despite these 2 issues, I have already saved as much money as I've spent on this starter set + the additional glass storage containers, bags, and liquid barriers. The use of this set is keeping our weekly produce fresher longer (for at least 2 weeks), which means we're purchasing a lot less frequently. Yes, overall this is a great money-saving set and I would buy it again! But I do hope ZWILLING will work to improve the 2 issues mentioned.

If you grow your own personal or small batch veggies this is truly a must. I won’t go into why I bought this, the backstory is too crazy and irrelevant. But I do grow my own veggies, including a ton of lettuce. The Z bags are great for kales, spinach, peppers, etc. but I have many delicate lettuces where bags aren’t an option. By the time these precious crops are the size/age/color I want, the leaves are a bit leggy, soft, and I have a LOT. We can’t eat as much as I have to harvest when ready, and by the next day the beautiful and washed crop is wilted and sad. Oxidation is the beginning of the end. But….! My pics are what’s left after a family salad, harvested THREE DAYS ago. My adolescent red Bibb and baby romaine still have SUPER crisp ribs and buttery soft wings. They’re as amazing as the moment I picked them but chilled!! I did buy what in my mind is a medium container, but it was what I wanted to try for “the leftover harvest” and it is AMAZING. 8 seconds with the gadget and all the air is gone. It’s insanely easy to use. Charge stays high for many many uses, and it’s quick to charge (takes me about an hour). The size of the container is actually perfect for my fridge (which stays packed). I’m pretty impressed and consider this a game changer. Ps, I do have another very full size countertop food sealer too which has very specific and fantastic bulk uses, but for quick, everyday, small-medium uses - yeah….I have this too now and love it and started to use daily. Totally worth it!
