Vakumar Liquid Vacuum Sealer Machine, 90Kpa Vacuum Sealer Machine Preservation Dry/Moist/Liquid Modes, LED Indicator Light, Handle Locked Design, Built-in Cutter and Bag Storage, Removable Drip Tray

UPDATE to previous review: After about 5 months the teflon covering on the heating element developed a small wrinkle, causing about 50% of the seals on larger bags to fail. I sent an email to the email address in the product documentation and received a reply several days later. The manufacturer-seller assured me that the unit has a 5 year warranty and I would be shipped a replacement. I received the replacement today. My 5 star rating still stands (maybe now 5 star plus?). Far superior product (in spite of the minor glitch) with a real warranty and great customer service.I have been using vacuum sealers daily for over 30 years. I always buy in bulk and repackage into the sized packages I'm most likely to use, including fresh meat. I've always fixed a weeks worth of meals for the family and vacuum sealed individual portions as well as leftovers. I do a big garden and freeze and vacuum seal much of the fruits and vegetables. I also homebrew and buy grains, hops, and yeast in bulk and vacuum seal them into package sizes that are most likely to be used in a batch. I've worn out at least 12 machines in the last 30 years, with most lasting two or three years at best. The most popular (and expensive) big box store brand seemed to wear out the soonest and I've tried most of the other popular retail brands. They all have their quirks. Most will only do a small number of consecutive seals before they overwork the motor or overheat (not good doing 50 pounds of grain, 80 ounces of hops, or several bushels of beans or peppers from the garden). Even if they have moist or gentle settings, very few will consistently and reliably seal bags that have moist or liquid contents (especially fresh meat) and having to freeze stuff ahead of time to seal it is a huge time consuming hassle. All the previous machines I've had required a lot of muscle and three hands to keep the bags aligned while the lid is pressed down evenly on each side. I've always felt I had to put a second seal on every bag just in case the first seal didn't really take (doubling the use/wear cycle of the machine). The VAKUMAR sealer is clearly superior in design and operation compared to all the other vacuum sealers I've owned. The one hand operation is effortless. I ran it for over 120 consecutive seals on brewers grains and hops and it didn't complain or get overly hot. The moist, liquid, and gentle settings really work well for fresh meats as well as pastas, sauces, and stews -- today I grilled, pulled, and sealed 5 pounds of juicy fresh chicken breast into 5 oz bags and every bag sealed and held the first time using the moist setting. The removable drip tray caught all the liquid sucked through during the vacuum cycle and cleaned up quick and easy. One of my favorite features is that the machine automatically double seals everything. It takes up a little more real estate on the counter than the other machines but not that much more. I'm not sure how long it will last but the design seems a lot more durable and sensible than other machines and if it actually lasts the full 5 year warranty it will have paid for itself several times over. I am not easily impressed but this machine gets 5 stars hands down.

This is a great product. Easy to use. Manual or automatic operation. We've used it for wet ('homemade spaghetti sauce) and dry (home made bread rolls). It is very good at sealing thanks to the double seal tech. We had an old model by another manufacturer that was very inconsistent. This is perfect each time.

I have been vacuum sealing all sorts of things! This machine is top notch and will help in preserving food with the worry of freezer burn. Everything is sealed airtight to keep ice crystals from forming on what is inside the bag. It is not noisy and removes the air and seals the bags quickly. The buttons make this almost intuitive to run. If you are looking for a vacuum sealer, I would highly recommend this one!

Solid product. Wish it had markings for exactly where to place the bag for the various operations

UPDATE: Seller replaced bad unit for no charge. It seemed as if I just got a unit that had problems. Many others raved about the sealer, but sometimes a bad unit slips through and that's apparently what happened to me. Customer service went above and beyond. I didn't contact them, but they saw my review and stepped up by offering me a new one, no charge. Just received the replacement and it works perfectly. I could not be more pleased with how the seller handled this issue and I will continue to buy their products.Vacuumed fine the first few times I used it, but it didn't seal properly, the bags would have air in them when I took them from the freezer. Now it sticks shut every time the vacuum is used, I cannot open it up no matter how hard I try. I have to wait a few minutes before it will open. The sealing is even worse now with air getting into the bags right after sealing. Maybe I just got a lemon, others don't seem to have any issues.

Buyer beware! Manufacturer says the unit comes with a 5yr warranty. My unit stopped working on June 2025. I purchased the unit March 2024. I use the vacuum sealer maybe once every few months.I contacted Amazon customer service and was told since the unit is out of the return window to contact the manufacturer. I have contacted the manufacturer via the instructions from the manufacturer website to email my warranty claim. I have sent numerous emails back in forth only to receive response as "I am not to help because of the purchase from Amazon not our website "That email contains the same email address to send to the Amazon order warranty claims. I have sent pics and video of my unit not working as the manufacturer requested showing my unit stopped working.I've been back in forth via email ( as they don't have a customer service number to call). After the last email from the company July 2025 I have heard no response. I have emailed multiple times asking as about my claim. Still today no response. I spent more than I wanted on my vacuum sealer because of the 5yr warranty that is advertised.Unfortunately I have read many reviews from various buyers stating the same problem.Just be aware the manufacturer is not standing up to its 5yr warranty as they state.

Works good just very slow
