5.0 out of 5 stars

This vacuum sealer works great to extend the freshness of your food and in turn saving you money from not throwing out items that have gone bad. The included bags are generous in size and you can make a bag of any size with the included roll. The cutter slices smoothly through the vacuum bag but you need to ensure that it is lined up straight. It takes a bit of practice to know exactly where to place the bag for a proper seal without too much wasted bag space but once you understand where the seal is being formed it's very easy. I would suggest pressing down on the lid a bit to ensure a proper seal for vacuum and sealing. The standard pressure is usually fine but I like that you can adjust the strength, I recently had a curryque for my travel group and a friend visiting from Austria wanted to take some home. To make sure it would stay nice and fresh, we vacuum sealed several skins with a gentler seal as not to crush the velvety roti inside. She said it arrived in Austria tasting as fresh as the night of the party! I have not used the included canning vacuum sealer tube but I like that it has that option as well I may invest in some canning jars and try it out With some homemade pepper sauce For next year's curryque!
