Customer Ratings & Reviews

We sous vide a lot and a vacuum sealer is very helpful to the cooking process. I have been using a FoodSaver basic model and it works okay. But the double seal on this machine makes it worth the upgrade. On my previous model I often found myself doing a second seal just to make sure a small wrinkle wouldn’t compromise my food. Included is a hose attachment for sealing vacuum containers. It worked well with my container. The very minimal instruction sheet isn’t much help if you haven’t used a vacuum sealer before. There are lots of videos on YouTube if you need further instruction. This model has a moist seal feature with less suction. That feature was my main interest in this product. You cannot have wet food with loose liquid as it is not made for that. If you do, then freeze it first and seal. But if you have something that is damp the wet seal function does a better job than models without it. Push the Moist button and then Vacuum & Seal. You need to watch closely as the liquid will start moving towards the top of the bag. Push seal when it gets close. Cleaning the tray that the bag end goes into is difficult as it doesn’t come out. The previous models I have owned all had a removable tray. The included bag roll is okay but my FoodSaver bags worked fine too. I have a lot of them left over. Make sure you put the bag under the bag cutter and it will work fine. Pros: Double Seal Cord storage - cord is hidden underneath unit Moist seal Cons: Bags don’t have a designated write on area – can smear Tray is hard to clean

Very functional and easy to use! It pays for itself in that we take advantage of sale items and freeze/store them without any freezer burn. Always at a great price in “Best Buy.”

The Anova - Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro is the perfect compliment for my Sous Vide cooker as well as keeping my frozen foods fresher for a longer period of time. This unit does a good job at providing an air tight seal as well as additional functionality you may not see with others. For foods that you may not want to completely get air tight, there is a manual pulse option that lets you customize how much air is left in the bag. For the seal component, there is a one button option that will vacuum and seal for awesome convenience. Keep in mind that you do need pay close attention as to where the end of the bag is placed. Needs to be in position to allow the air to get vacuumed out as well as ensure there are not crease or overlap of the bag as that can create a bad seal and air will start to fill the bag. Not very difficult, but just need to be mindful. Because some items may have juices or liquids, the wet function helps ensure that liquids down seep through the seal point. This unit also come with a hose attachment that will allow you to vacuum seal other bags or containers that don't require a seal, which makes this more applicable to other vacuum seal needs. I can't really thing of any negatives on this unit as does a great job.

I owned a sealer many years ago but since it was so big, I hated taking it out. It also was heavy and took precious kitchen space. This unit is compact and light. Fits in several drawers I have. It was also very easy to operate. I wouldn't say this would work for someone who is a hunter but for the common household, I think it's perfect.

I feel I should disclose I've never used a vacuum sealer before. This product is great quality. It includes a roll of bags that can be sealed at your own desired length, the separate tube attachment, instructions, and the power cord is attached to the body of the sealer. The instructions were honestly not useful to me. It's simply a collection of images of how to use the sealer. There are no written instructions and I could find no videos or how-to guides for this particular model. As far as choosing your bag size and sealing the bottom, it's super straight forward. You simply unroll the material onto the sealer, press the seal button, and it heats the material to form a bottom seal of the bag. I ran into troubles with the actual sealing process. You need to make sure you let the heating element that seals cool off before you try to vacuum and seal. If you do not, it will seal the bag before attempting to vacuum seal it, leaving you with a useless piece of plastic. I made this mistake several times. I could not get bags to vacuum before sealing. It took me several times to get the sealing process right. It was especially frustrating when trying to work with a meat for Sous Vide cooking. I did eventually get the seal to correctly work to cook a steak. The bags worked great once appropriately sealed and made for a great overall product. I'm not sure if my issues with this product is just user error and/or not understanding the process correctly, but I've had a hard time with the air reduction actually working before the machine tries to seal. I am a first time user of a vacuum sealer, so it could be lack of knowledge. I do like the amount of features and capability this offers.

Used for meat in a sous vide, and it works wonders.

ordered this sealer in hope it would be a good one so far I'm so happy with the way it works

Works good got it on sale so definitely worth the money. No problems out of it yet.

Great purchase...worth the already reasonable price

A nice vacuum sealer with many features at a good price.

I was really disappointed in this product; I have used other sealers in the past, and thought this would be a big upgrade, but it wasn't...cant use large rolls of plastic bag making material, since there is very little clearance for a larger roll to fit, no adapter to remove the air out of my existing sealing bags, and, it wasn't very easy to figure out.. I'm sticking to my current sealer, this one isnt very intuitive..

It worked 4 times, now the seal after pulling air out of bag will not work. Tried calling the company a few times and they are not calling back. Very frustrating, because my son who doesn't have a lot of money bough this for me for Christmas proudly and would be so disappointed to find out it stopped working. :(
