Bonsenkitchen Vacuum Sealer with 40 Vacuum Bags, Fast-Compact Vacuum Sealer Machine for Sous Vide Cooking and Food Stay Fresh up to 6x Longer (Silver)

I have only used the sealer a few times so far but I'm pleased with the results. It is lightweight, quick and easy to use. Good value for money. I only want to use the sealer to pack items for my freezer so this sealer suits my needs. Would definitely recommend.

Well made device at a reasonable price, bought it to stop freezer burn on food. Time will tell if this works.

I bought this as a "stopgap" machine after the sealer on my much more expensive Foodsaver version failed - and since the spare won't be here for a month, I needed something cheap quickly.And this is cheap - you know that, you've seen the price. At it looks cheap, and feels cheap. Four buttons, four lights, two locking latches to hold everything tight. It even comes with bag stock, a cutter, and a spare sealing ring! And it works: seal the end of the roll, cut to length (though the cutter is rather nasty and only works left-to-right). Fill the bag, put the open end in the machine and push hard on both sides to lock the latches. Press the "Seal Vac" button and of it goes. It's quiet enough, quick enough, and it seals the bag pretty well. Release the latches when the "Seal" light blinks, and you're done.And there it ends ... or it would if it wasn't for a major concern - longevity.I get through £40 to £50 a year of bag stock - and that's bulk buying 12 rolls at a time from an industrial supplier. And this unit won;y work with my bags. They are too thick, or too deeply embossed, I don't know for sure. But you seal a bag bottom, fill it, put it in this and press the button and it stays on "suck" forever because the vacuum seal isn't tight enough and air "bleeds" in round the bag. It works fine with the bag sample they give you, but ... I have no idea where you can buy bag stock like this - it feels a little thinner than mine, and the embossing is finer, not so deep. But I've never seen "thickness" or "embossing depth" quoted on blurb for bag stock, so it could well be that when you run out of the sample you will be right out of luck.I found a way to use it with mine: a sink of water; quickly stop the vacuum and press "seal" but it means it leaks some air back into the bag. It'll do for a month, but it's not going to preserve food as well as my (much more expensive) unit does.Executive summary: It works, but if you can afford it, you will be better off with a more expensive version.

The media could not be loaded. Why did you choose this product over others?:I’ve been really pleased with this vacuum sealer to date. It comes with 40 bags in 2 sizes which is good to have to get me started. Despite reading the manual, it took me a few attempts before I can master it correctly. But once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite easy to use. Food freshness:My main purpose of using this machine is to seal broth and soups for the freezer which i find it such a brilliant way to portion it and store them in blocks to keep them fresh and prevent from leaks, especially with raw meats like chicken. Quality:I can say this vacuum machine is robust and it gives you the options to pause and vacuum till you get the desire of air removed. I also tried to use roll vacuum bags and it works providing you seal the end first. Sealability:This vacuum process takes about 30 seconds to remove the air and seal everything tightly. Overall, I can’t live without this vacuum machine, it a such of game changer. No more leaking meat fluids and messy freezer drawers. Love this purchase!

Up to now this machine is just what I need. I've used the pulse seal which you press for suction to take out as much or little air as required great for soft food. The design looks very professional, it is much quieter than my old machine. The seal function is good. I would recommend this machine

Simple to use, solidly built, not too big. All around great value for money.

had always toyed with a vacuum sealer, and so took the plunge with this. Works great! seals bags well, does have good suction to create a good vacuum. its not too big so easy to store in the cupboard. seems solid enough and i think for the action it performs the speed is pretty good.if you are unsure, i think this is a good starting point!

What a waste of time, money and frustration, yes it was cheap and yes I thought let’s give it a go, yes I read all the reviews and yes all the negative ones are true, it’s a shame that we waste money on such things but I have limited space in the my kitchen at home and thought this would be ok where you can just place in a drawer and use from time to time.. I’m a chef of over 35 years and I use professional vac pack machines at work such as Multivac and turbo vac and I brought a couple of vac pack bags home to try out as you only get a couple “5” in the purchased Box… but my bags did not work as the element gets too hot and simply melts and lets all the air out.. I now need to look for something better and spend more money but I’m pretty sure that this particular brand will still not deliver the service required for a bigger and more expensive model.Maybe something for you to think about and not produce cheap rubbish plastic that will only end up in land fill….
