Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're someone who wants to reduce food waste and save money on groceries, a vacuum sealer is a must-have kitchen gadget. And after trying out several brands, I can confidently say that Anova is a great option. This vacuum sealer is incredibly easy to use - simply place your food in a vacuum-seal bag, insert the open end of the bag into the machine, and let it do the rest. The sealer removes all the air from the bag, creating an airtight seal that keeps your food fresh for much longer. What sets Anova apart from other vacuum sealers I've tried is its durability and reliability. It can handle a wide range of foods, from meat and fish to fruits and vegetables, and the seal is always tight and secure. Overall, I highly recommend Anova to anyone who wants to reduce food waste and save money on groceries. It's a reliable and easy-to-use vacuum sealer that will help keep your food fresh for longer and prevent unnecessary waste.

For the price, this thing is a great addition to my kitchen. It's lacking (or I haven't figured out) a couple of features, such as the ability to hook up a vacuum hose to an accessory like a jar sealer, but you get that kind of thing when you spend more money. If you just want a compact, economical way to package food for storage or for use with an immersion cooker (sous vide), it's perfect. I went ahead and bought a couple of rolls of vacuum bags, instead of the pre-cut ones, and they work great!

Had been considering purchasing a vacuum sealer for years but never quite got around to it. Wish we had done this years ago as it is extremely easy to use and seems to keep your foods much fresher for longer, especially frozen. You can easily see the food in the bag as well. To use just plug it in, put food in one of the 10 provided 7.9 x 8 inch bags and position it in the unit, push the top of the unit to insure it is ready to seal, then press Vacuum and seal and unit will automatically remove the air from bag and seal it once done. Thats it! You can also use the pulse button if you want to control the suction or the seal button to seal only with no suction. We recently purchased the Anova Precision Wifi sous vide cooker and while you can use regular storage bags - it is so much easier using bags from this vacuum sealer. Straight from freezer to sous vide cooker. I think it will pay for itself by more or less eliminating freezer burn and lengthening time food can be stored. Highly recommend...

This has been an awesome purchase for my home. This vacuum sealer does exactly what it should. The value is the biggest selling point and the fact it performs as it should make it worth every penny. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is for one reason only. I always cut all of the bags I need before I start sealing. I usually seal each bag prior to putting any of the food inside. You can't seal 2 bags back to back without a break in between. The seal will not turn on until it has cooled down for a few seconds. Usually about 30-45 seconds between each seal. That is a little hassle for me but not a deal breaker. If you are only sealing one or two at a time this won't be an issue for you. I usually buy in bulk and have to seal about 15-20 bags each time so this is why it was noticed for me.

Easy to use, fast, and definitely saves food and room in the freezer. I didnt like the pictures and lack of words for direction for use. Thank goodness for youtube.

This is my 3rd purchase of a sealer. This works as good as the more expensive ones that have broken over the years. It fits perfectly in a kitchen drawer for me, making it easy to pull out and use for big or small jobs. I think I use it more because its so available. I dont have to keep it on the counter and i don't have to create storage space for a larger item. I'm happy with it and it is quick and easy to use. Its easy to clean as well.

Pretty good for the money. I tried it first on an apple, very little oxidation. Yes I did cut them into pieces and kept it in my refrigerator for about 2 weeks. I was very impress. I have a pork chop in the freezer, going on a few weeks. The real test will be chicken, which I haven't done yet, and pretty sure that the chicken will be fine. I also did potatoes. I cut and bag them. There was a slight film blackish/brown, but I do not know if it was because I did not wash them before sealing. kept them for a couple days, clean them and shaved a bit of the of the film, and cooked them, all was fine, nobody died, lol

Great for keeping food fresh in both the refrigerator and freezer. Great for use in combination with a Sous Vide cooker. My wife and I have been experimenting with different uses. If you have been on the fence about trying a vacuum sealer this is not a bad place to start. Easy to use, simple. I usually apply a double seal on both ends just to ensure no leaks.

This is the first food saver I've ever had, so I was grateful that it was simple to figure out. There are only pictures to follow, no written instructions. The main thing is to make sure both sides of the bar are snapped into place before you press the button. It does a good job of sucking the air out and of sealing. It's a good value for the money. I wish I would have purchased one that can do liquids though! This one can handle a little liquid, but it really isn't made for that.

Easy to operate, well-built works fast. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I buy meat in family packs then break down into portions to freeze. I haven't used for sous vide but see no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly.

Works great, its like the little sealer that could. It very compact and veryyy quiet. Reasons its not a 5 star: - The space to hold the bag to get the seal is pretty small - You have to wait 30 seconds between each seal (not fun for processing a deer) - You have to push down on the lid to lock it, meaning there is not level to press down for the seal.

Great for easily storing frozen food and marinating! Seal and vacuum all in one feature is amazing! Takes up very little space and works quickly!

This particular brand was given a superior rating by Consumer Reports Magazine. The price of this particular vacuum sealer was very reasonable compared to others that do the same thing. If you buy the sealer with the vacuum bags, the package is even less expensive. I found the unit simple and easy to use. It seem to work better if you vacuum the food first and then seal rather than doing a combo seal.

I love this product and use it almost weekly so easy to use and does a great job my son is jealous that I have it

Simple to use and not very noisy. Most vacuum sealers are noisy. This one seems quieter than most. It has a small foot print so you can leave it out if you have the space.

we have used it several times now and it seems to work great and fast.

While all vacuum sealers pretty much serve the same function, this device from Anova does a great job for sous vide vacuum sealing in a super small footprint. What I really like about this vacuum sealer is the wide bag support and the ability to pulse and seal. With my previous sealer, it only had the option to vacuum and seal, which would end up having gross juices built up in the vacuum area. With the pulse function, I can control when the vacuuming stops, which has led to a much cleaner prep experience.

The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer in black has been a super practical addition to my kitchen, especially for bulk purchases. It seals quickly, consistently, and without any fuss, which makes batching meat, veggies, or meal prep portions really easy. The seal is strong and airtight, so everything stays fresher way longer in the freezer without freezer burn. It’s compact, simple to use, and works perfectly with the customizable Anova bag rolls. For anyone who shops in bulk or likes to prep ahead, it’s one of those tools that pays for itself fast.

I haven't had this fun little piece of kitchen equipment very long - but so far, so good! (I haven't had it long enough to give it an "excellent") I have been using the Sous Vide method of cooking for a couple of years now but have been struggling with putting the food in ZipLock bags but after the last bag leaked water and ruined (!) my quite expensive brisket, I decided to get a vacuum seal. This one was priced right and so far it's working great. So - if you are a fan of Sous Vide, you might want to check this baby out.

I buy in bulk and needed a food saver to help with storing in my deep freezer to avoid waste and freezer burn. This is exactly what I needed. It's small enough to store away when not in use and I can use almost any food saver bags with it.
