Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Seals very easily. Vacuums air out of sealable bags and heat seals the edge to close. Great for storing food longer.

Love this item! So easy to use. We had a different one previously and it broke so quickly, took forever to seal, etc. this one is quick and so easy to assemble and use.

Works as expected, great value compared to other popular brands. Its compact, not bulky like other machines. Easy to use and clean.

Used to vacuum seal cuts of meat. The product is easy to use and has good seals on the bags. However, got to watch for when the bag folds over and does not form a full seal. I blame this more on bags than the vacuum sealer. All and all a solid purchase for the price.

Both ends of the sealer lock into place which eliminates the need for pressing down manually. Once the bag is locked into place, it's just a button press to do what you need to (vacuum + seal, just seal, and vacuum pulse). I've found that all of the different meats I've sealed (with and without bones) hold up just fine in the freezer. The rectangular form factor is also very nice. I use this item regularly for sous vide.

Great sealer at a great price. Easy to use and smaller size makes for easier storage. Got this with a sous vide and cooking has upped a notch.

This thing really does work great. We have widen our recipes in the kitchen thanks to this!

Simple, easy, and reliable! Works amazingly sealing any food to store in the freezer! I trust this product and will recommend to others because this is a must need for those that are having trouble of frozen meat from getitng freeze burns. This stuff lasts & protects!

Great product. It is very easy to use and it does not use much space.

Works like a charm, easy to use and compact. Good buy will never store again in the freezer in baggies. Never had one before so I can not compare to others. Now we stock up on meats. During Covid-19 we bought from Omaha steaks and defrosting per their instructions is just as good as buying fresh so we learn to package top quality meats that we buy locally at a much cheaper price. All our ripe fruit that we can no use up goes in the freezer and we use the pulse vacuum feature on soft fruits; great for smoothies.

Very Satisified, very simple and easy to use. I like the roll bag option as it allows you to cut the bag to any size you want. Simply cut to the size you want seal one end then put your item in and vacuum and seal the other. You can also use this for other things as well and not just food products. Just about any item you can think of you can vacuum and seal. It is easy to open and easy to close. Very straightforward operation, am getting one for my daughter for Christmas. :-)

I love it. This is perfect for my sous vide as I like my steak to be cooked to perfection. Easy to use.

This is so easy to operate. Really like the option to just seal or vacuum and seal.

This little vacuum sealer does a great job, and is simple to use. It has 3 function buttons an two locking tabs one on each side. This meant to use for sous vide cooking but I use it for both sous vide and freshness vacuum sealing for meats prior to freezing.

The Anova Vacuum Sealer is very compact, lightweight, and easy to use. We are having so much fun using it by buying value packs of meat on sale and breaking the packages down into meal portions. We feel that this sealer will save us so much money and reduce our food waste. So glad we chose this particular sealer over all the others.

This sealer is great for having such a compact size! I’ve used this sealer for storing food in the freezer and for preparing ingredients for a sous vide. It works fine but you may want to buy up if you to freeze soups or other foods with even a small amount of liquid content. You can use the pulse button to seal saucy foods but you won’t be able to fully vacuum the air out. This works fine if you’re diligent.

This was purchased as a wedding gift for a young couple just setting up house together and starting with relatively nothing. Not long after the nuptials, I was sent a wonderful thank you card for the gift with the exuberant exclamation of how well the product works. They have used it to take advantage of buying items to freeze, in bulk.. and keeping left overs fresher, longer.

So far I am using this Anova Vacuum machine for just 3 weeks after I purchased them like 4 weeks ago, its been doing its main job on perfectly in vacuum sealing. Machine is sturdy. On the performance, it seems pretty good so far. I basically chose this Anova brand because of a good reviews. Hope this will last longer for my future use. Looks like this will be my knowing-my-buddy in the kitchen yet!
