FOODSAVERPowerVac Compact Vacuum Sealing Machine, Stainless Steel & Black, Vertical Storage, VS0150 | Preserves freshness, reduces bag waste, for both dry and wet food

We put off getting a vacuum sealer for way too long—one of those things we talked about but never actually bought. Now that we finally have one, I can’t believe we waited this long. After using it to store a bunch of steaks we grabbed on sale, I’m sold—we’ll always have a vacuum sealer from now on.This model in particular is simple and super easy to use, which made the whole process even better. The seal is tight, it works quickly, and the results are awesome. Everything stays fresh, and freezer burn is no longer a worry. It’s already saving us money and making bulk buying way more practical.If you’re on the fence, don’t wait like we did—it’s totally worth it!

This thing is amazing, purchased a different brand first which I returned due to the lack of suction. This one works great, easy to set up and use, the greatest feature is how quickly it performs, is light weight, compact and comes with bags and a bag roll. Great value

If you're on the fence about a vacuum sealer, you probably won't regret buying one. If you have a family to feed and want to save money buy buying meat and veggies in bulk and freeze, this one will pay for itself in just a few weeks. Even if you decide on spending a little more on a different one, you should get one regardless. This one in particular is a decent "cheap" sealer. For the money, it works great. Some reviews say it stops working, mine works fine after 2 years. I did give it 4 stars because it does struggle sometimes to seal moist foods but if you switch to the dry setting while leaving the lid latched and press seal again and just let is go for 4-5 seconds more, it seems to work fine. Also, clean your sealer strip. It helps, as when it gets dirty (and it will) it doesn't make contact as well. Overall, it's affordable, fast, easy to store, easy to use, and even if SOMETIMES you'll have to do it over to seal, it's still well worth the money. You could pay a lot more and still have issues. If mine were to break today, I'd buy another one tomorrow.

Love this foodsaver. It's easy to use and quick. It seals really well and it doesn't have a cooling down period between seals, which is really great. It's a little noisy, so don't do it with a napping baby next to you, but it's not terrible. It's made well and seems strong.

This is a great vacuum sealing device. It is very reliable and works quickly. I routinely buy extra meats and freeze them and this keeps every thing tasting great. This is extremely compact and easy to store with locks that you can use to store vertically. Follow the instructions and give at least a 1/2 minute or so between using the sealer to keep from damaging the machine.

This product does not come with directions on how to make this power up and do it's job. There are 2 buttons on the sides that you have to push down and lock for this to suck & seal. Upon plugging in, there are no lights that come on. It's by touch of the L corner if you want to do a quick seal making bags. This is crucial as I got frustrated figuring this out on my own. When I figured this all out bcuz they don't give you these directions this product works like a champion.

Have had this for 9 months. Bought it used here on Amazon. It showed up looking brand new. Works perfectly. I use it several times a week. One of my all time favorite purchases, I’d guess it has saved me well over $300 already. Can’t recommend it highly enough. And with this particular model, I love the compact size, this is the way to go

I have had a Foodsaver for about a decade, but my old one finally died. Being an inquisitive engineer, I took it apart to see if I could fix it. I looked for quite a while and finally found a piece of broken plastic. It was too small to try to repair, and any kind of repair I tried would involve glue, and it probably wouldn't last because the assembly involved, by design, is subjected to a great deal of shear force. It was a poor design in my engineering opinion, as a part like that should have been metal.I shopped on Amazon for a new one and found one similar to my old one but it was over $200. The smaller one that I purchased was only about $100 and it performs perfectly. That is it sucks all the air out of the bag and seals it without any leaks. My old unit had a built-in sliding blade to cut a section from rolled bag material. I was very handy to have it right there on the unit. This new small unit does not have such a convenient feature. You have to use a scissors. Another thing I miss is the locking mechanism on the old unit. It had an easy to turn lever that one turns to lock the lid in place to hold the open end of the bag in place. On the new small Foodsaver, there is a latch on each side of the unit. You put the bag in place, lower the top, then push down very hard on one side then the other until you hear a click indicating that this side you're pushing on is latched. Again, the amount of force required to lock each side is very significant. I measured it and it was around 15-16 pounds force.It may seem like I'm complaining a lot and don't like my purchase. Not so! I miss the slicer and the easy to use locking mechanism of the old, larger unit, but I'm strong enough to operate the latches and I keep a scissors by the unit. More good news is that it's smaller and more attractive than my old Foodsaver. My wife appreciates that, and a white Foodsaver blends in with our kitchen better than the old black one. Individuals with lesser strength might have a problem with the latches, but the good news is that Amazon cheerfully refunds the cost of returned purchases. Save the box and packing materials until you've used it for a while.
