After my first vacuum pump from an Amazon brand died after a year, I bought this set. What a difference! The pump is quiet and stylish. It is a little large but fits good in your hand. What I really love is the auto-stop feature. So far the initial charge has held up for a month which is great. If I had to nitpick, the cap on the vacuum is a little cumbersome to keep up with but I mounted it to our countertop with a little Joe's Sticky Stuff. Now it is more of a dock that stays in place while we use the vacuum then it sits back into the cap. The red nubs on the bags are different from most vacuum seal bags that have a flush hole system but I quickly found the raised button makes it much easier to place the vacuum and get started rather than hunt for a good fit. After a few uses the bags continue to hold their seal. One bag that I placed in the freezer with homemade biscuits did lose its seal. Not sure if it was my error or the bag. The glass boxes are heavy and stylish. Overall happy with this system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine itself is so compact yet work so well. I wanted to buy vacuum sealer but hesitated for the bulky size of common sealer. This one solved the issue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum is strong and does a great getting all the air out. I also like that it doesn’t take up any counter space.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bags are excellent and very easy to use. The starter set comes with a variety of bags and a small vacuum sealer that does not take up a lot of space. Oh and the sealable containers are fantastic!! They keep fruits fresh much much longer than if just normally stored in the fridge. This is a great gift for anyone that wants a vacuum sealed set but they don’t want it to take up too much space.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works wonderful with container sets. Though I wouldn't replace bag vacuum sealers since it's quite nasty to reuse these pricy bags for sous vide
