Bonsenkitchen Vacuum Sealer Machine with 5 Bags | Compact Food Sealer for Kitchen Storage & Meal Prep | Multiple Modes​​ | External Vacuum System, Silver​​

Works great, sealed a T-Bone steak in under 40 seconds. The automatic vacuum seems to have great suction power. It’s small enough to put away in an empty kitchen drawer or just on a shelf. I have to figure out the sealing method because it seems to have not sealed in a tiny little spot about the thickness of a penny. But I would imagine that is just enough to eventually let air into the bag slowly. So it’s very easy to use. I highly recommend it. UPDATE: I tried using regular food saver rolls and cutting my own and they work much better, they are thicker and they only send you with 6 small bags. The key to a good seal is pressing the seal button 2x, and sealing twice in the same spot. I tried this on almonds today and it worked superb. So happy with my purchase.

Works ok. Works good for price. Little light weight so watch pressure when operating. May tip forward. But with price and ease of use this vacuum is quality purchase.

Overall, this vacuum sealer works well and is easy to use. It seals most bags tightly and helps keep food fresh, but sometimes the vacuum doesn’t pull out all the air, so I have to repeat the process. For occasional home use, it’s still a great value for the price and gets the job done.

My husband wanted to make a video because he’s really liking it!😂 So, here is the video after having a couple of videotaping issues. You know how life is. The reason why he’s so happy with it is that it is Easy to operate. Having Less buttons means it is simpler to operate. You don’t need an app to operate it.🤣 Things not mentioned in the review: 1. There is a Pulse Vac button. That is for when you don’t want to vacuum seal something too tightly. You could use that when you are concerned that a tight seal might break something. 2. We did this video several times because my partner/husband used meat that was not frozen. The vacuum sucked in too much liquid from the meat. There is a special place inside the machine where liquid like this gathers (shown in photo 1 in the review) so he’s cleaning it out in the photo. However, if too much wetness goes in the machine, the seal is not complete. The best way to simply not have this issue in the first place is to partially or fully freeze the meat before vacuum sealing it. Or you can put the meat in a thin, plastic bag and tie it before putting the bagged meat in the vacuum sealer. Because really it’s not fun cleaning meat droppings out the vacuum sealer. Overall, we are really happy we got this machine. It was less expensive than many options out there and it is working very well. If it stops working, I will update this review because durability is So important.

I love it! Vacuum and seals well and holds. Different size bags are perfect. Pulse vac first to make sure it sitting in the right spot. When all the air is out then vac seal.

I don't consume food as fast as they go bad so this machine is great. If you frequently buy anything in bulk, vacuum packing individual portions will save you money. Those costco boxes of tomatoes you won't eat fast enough before they go bad.... just vacuum pack the tomatoes individually and they'll last a lot longer even though they're already all GMO-Frankenstein with unnatural thick skin, supposed to last a lot longer than the original nature-made tomatoes. Same with anything else you know might spoil before you consume. I found myself vacuum packing everything on site lol. Buy a bunch of seal bags, they aren't expensive and they can be cut to size. Bean or ground coffee will obviously last longer as well. Just make sure no food/debris/whatever is at the top of the bag when you seal as it won't be a perfect seal and the air will sip back in. Great machine, small and works well. EDIT: Some foods will actually spoil *faster* when vacuum packed, I believe due to anaerobic bacteria that could multiply. But most foods won't. Garlic for example will last regardless but it produces its own gasses so the bag even though has been vacuumed will start inflating while sealed. All this has nothing to do with the machine performance, it's still a great buy.

Product works fine but did not notice the dead flies in instruction manual till much later. They were stuck in pages. I contacted seller and they said they would notify factory and offered 10% credit ($3.10) . Just a heads up to read your manual and check for bugs. I like the machine but my wife won't use it now.

I'm not an expert on these machines so I bought a cheap one to see how convenient it is and I do love it. My main point with this review is to mention that when sealing you need to press down on the center of the lid while it's running to make sure it has a good vacuum seal. Once I figured that out it's awesome. It has buttons for manual vacuum, vac and seal, and seal. vac and seal didn't work because I didn't know that trick and I wasn't doing it right at first. Once I figured it out it's great. Just like any tool, you need to know how to use it. but it's not rocket science. Just read the manual.
