Reviewer: Janet L. McGriff Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Easy to use and Effective! Review: Plain and simple. It works! Portable, easy to use. Works better than the original food saver. Works better than the food savers that followed the original. I have tried many! The Chef’s preserve is the easiest and most effective food saver I have ever tried. Small in size, large in effectiveness! Lightweight. Fits in a drawer or cabinet or stands alone on the counter! Love it and I use it daily because I can easily open the bag and reuse! Reviewer: GluedTogether Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Great product. Don’t throw out the little sealing aid by accident! Review: The bags are more substantial than Ziploc bags and at first my arthritic fingers had trouble closing them sufficiently. BUT THEN I discovered a tiny little tool in the box next to the charging cord. It’s a little clip that you attach to one side of the zip and pinch lightly as you run it along the top. Voila ! Sealed tight easily. A good seal is necessary for the device to suck out all of the air. Just gently place the device on the round air valve and press the button. It will do its magic in seconds and shut itself off.This gadget was a happy find as I don’t have space for a countertop machine. The bags are reusable and easy to rinse out and air dry. It’s great for produce that stays fresh and crisp much longer. I reopen a sealed package, take out what I need and reseal. It will compress fluffy foods like drop biscuits, which we’re still edibleInitially Reviewer: Edith R. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Easy to use, a no leak seal! Love it Review: I was wanting to vacuum seal my food, but with the traditional sealers, it seemed like there was a lot of waste of plastic. I’m a recycler so I hate throwing plastic in the trash. While this product uses plastic, at least they are reusable bags that you can reuse as well! I have probably gone through 12 bags so far. None of them have had a problem sealing, none of them leak, and they increase the space in my freezer. I think this is a great deal and a great product. Reviewer: Scott or not Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: This works great without taking up much space Review: I’m loving this vacuum sealer! It was an Amazon suggested purchase around Black Friday/Christmas. With the 90 day return policy at that time, I decided to get one and give it a try. I’m not unhappy with that decision! I’ve always wanted one of the countertop sealers, but have never taken the plunge. This is a MUCH BETTER option, I believe, because it is compact and doesn’t take up counter space. It works great and stays charged for a long time. The bags are good quality and I use them in multiple applications, including the freezer to prevent freezer burn or ice build up on my frozen food.It is made in communist China.

It’s quick to seal bags and easy enough that I don’t hesitate to pull it out, which says a lot compared to bulkier sealers I’ve owned. Food stored in the sealed bags does seem to last longer, and I’ve noticeably cut down on waste since using it. The reusable bags are a nice bonus and help offset some costs over time. It doesn’t pull as tight of a seal as my larger vacuum sealer, but for everyday food storage, that hasn’t been an issue. It feels solidly built, charges fast, and has earned its spot on my limited counter space..What you may care about:• Quick and simple sealing process (Meets)• Encourages regular use instead of sitting unused (Meets)• Food staying fresher longer (Meets)• Seal strength compared to full-size units (Meets)• Build quality and charging time (Meets) Reviewer: Jackster Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Easy to use and keeps my food fresh longer. Review: So far it’s wonderful. I used it after grocery shopping and it worked great. I will have to see how long the charge lasts but I’m thinking it will go a long time before charging. It’s simple to use and the bags are nice and thick. My freezer is so much roomier due to compression of bags. The little zipper tool works well to seal the bag. I’m very glad I bought it. Reviewer: FinFan13 Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Convenience and space saver Review: I have a larger sealer and bought this for quick sealing. It works great. I love to be able to open the bags that come with it, take what I need, and be able to reseal it for next time. I have no issues sealing the bag and it takes all the air out. It is small and compact and fits it the kitchen stay. I’ve only had for 2 weeks but love it Reviewer: Lisa Robles Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Best Sealer ever!! Review: This is the best thing that has happened to my kitchen in a while! I used to use a vacuum sealer that I had to drag out and plug in and cut and size the bags. This one is so fast and convenient. It comes with bags that you can wash, air dry and reuse several times. They come is sizes and they are so easy and fast to seal. Just close the zip lock and then align the sealer on the little button on the bag and watch it seal in seconds. I have used them to seal all sorts of foods, and they preserve them all way better than just foil or plastic wrap. Food last longer and tastes great coming out of these bags. The device itself is strong and great quality. It charges fast and the charge lasts long. I love this sealer and want to gift one to all my friends this Christmas! Reviewer: Sally Nguyen Rating: 1.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: The worst product I bought on Amazon. It’s stopped working after 2 use!!! So disappointed with this product. Reviewer: Renée Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: Works great!Unit is small and very light and easy to handle . It seals very well and the bags are nice and thick. The ziploc bags are difficult to open which is hard for someone with limited strength in their hands, I appreciate the tool that helps connect the zip lock. Reviewer: Nicole Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: This is a game changer! Super easy to use and store. Love how it “shrink wraps” my blocks of cheese and other leftover food items. No more freezer burn! Things stay fresh much longer being vacuum sealed. Highly recommend this! Reviewer: Lise R. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: Tellement MERVEILLEUX! C’est mon achat préférée de la dernière année. J’ai commandé 30 sacsEt je les ai tous utilisés. Je le recommande à 100%, j’ai la grosse scelleuse , dont je ne me servais pasTrop long à sortir à laver et à ranger à chaque fois. Alors que Cette petite merveille fait tout le travail en quelques secondes. Conseil, passer la fermeture à glissière à l’eau chaude pour ouvrir plus facilement, ou pour sceller si besoin. Reviewer: Visenya Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Review: I really like this vaccuum. I already use it more than I’ve used the bigger vacuum sealer I had. It’s so convenient to use and I don’t have to bring out the big one, which is such a hassle. The reusable bags are ‘chefs kiss’.
