Avid Armor Chamber Vacuum Sealer Machine USVX Ultra Series 10" Seal Bar for Liquid-Rich Wet Foods, Cooking Sous Vide, Infusions. Compact Size Vacuum Chamber Sealer Black Color Great for the Countertop

This vacuum sealer is amazing! I use it very frequently and it does an amazing job. I had a bag sealing vacuum sealer prior to this chamber vacuum sealer, and would never use the other kind again. This machine is powerful and performs amazingly well each time I've used it.You can food in a glass bowl with your favorite marinade and as long as the container fits in the chamber and doesn't prevent it from closing, your can marinate like there's no tomorrow. It doesn't leave a mess like my previous vacuum sealer. Definitely recommend this product!!!

This thing is the best thing since sliced bread. It is bulky so if you dont have the counter space or somewhere to store it its a little large but honestly with the amount of things you can seal it makes up for it. Ive sealed fish, chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, and some other things. Works better than any other sealer we have had.

Pros: sturdy well built, no problems with sealing liquids. My elderly Mom loves using it. (Mom approved)Con: --- I didn't buy it years ago instead of wasting money on the other brands.

This machine definitely blew my mind. I bought a regular vacuum sealer and it just wasn’t working well. Couldn’t tell if it was user error or the machines fault because it was so inconsistent. Anyways this machine is so user friendly and im able to freeze a bunch of stuff quite quickly. Bags are high Quality

This vacuum sealer is definitely on the pricier side but if you already have a "more traditional" vacuum sealer you know that sealing up anything that has any sort of liquid in it, it's nearly impossible to keep that from getting sucked in to your vacuum sealer. You can also forget about doing things like chili, etc. unless you freeze it first then seal it up. I really didn't want to turn my food saving into a multi-step process after I've already spent most of a weekend making up meals for next couple of weeks. That is why we invested in this vacuum sealer. This thing works like a champ! It's definitely noisier than some other countertop vacuum sealers but it's not deafening. Your vacuum cleaner is likely far louder than this appliance. This device is a lot larger than other counter top vacuum sealers as well so you will need to plan for counter space. It also on the heavier side so getting in and out of a cabinet may not be something you want to do either. Both of these are small annoyances given the benefit of this appliance. I can make up a couple week's worth of meals and seal them up for the freezer and it doesn't matter what it is. Chili, steaks, mac and cheese, soup (yes, soup), it works like a charm. Avid Armor also designed this device with ease of use and maintenance in mind too. Spilled some food in the vacuum chamber or overfilled your bag and made a mess? No sweat. The chamber is smooth with practically zero crevices for food particles to get into making cleaning it out super easy. The heat element also pops out very easily to both clean it and also clean under it. I imagine that if that element ever burns out, replacing it will be as easy as changing the batteries in your TV's remote control (maybe even easier). I'm super glad we have invested in this appliance. 5 stars all around except on the value because the device is very expensive by comparison BUT the time this is saving us with cooking meals during the week is going to save us money in the end. We are a very, very busy family of four and after working 10-12 hours a day Mom and Dad are not in the mood to spend another hour in the kitchen cooking. Instead of ordering take-out (which has become a habit since the pandemic) we are just heating up food we've cooked ahead of time on the weekend. Given that, we expect this appliance will easily pay for itself in a couple months and we will start saving a lot of money after that. If you have the budget for this and are ordering take-out a lot like we were then I *highly* recommend this. An added bonus, we are no longer filling our trash can with all the packaging that comes with ordering take out either!

We got tired of replacing our Food Savers and, after reviewing many options, we chose this item. It works great! The vacuum seal is far superior to any Food Saver we have ever owned.We purchased extra bags from this company that are designed for this unit. They work great. We have also been using up old Food Saver bags, and they also work great. The difference is the "channels" in the ordinary food saver bags (which work fine with these types of units). The reverse is not true - ie you cannot use the "sleek" bags designed for this type of unit in a traditional Food Saver type unit.The only issue we see so far is you cannot use a bag wider than 10" (or really longer than 8") so you need to plan accordingly. So far, it has not been an issue when freezing items for just the 2 of us. If you want to freeze for a larger family, you may need to divide for it to fit and seal properly.We also have tried the accessory hose on several items. It works great on mason jars!It does take up a bit more counter space than our old Food Savers (similar width but at least twice as deep). But, we use it so often and it works so well we are willing to give up a small amount of counter space.

Easy to move. Light enough to move from one location to another. I have a friend who has a much heavier, higher end model / brand and does not use it because it is so heavy. I use this all the time. I actually have it stored in my home office with a cover over it. It looks like a covered printer. If it is just one item, I'll use it there, For bulk sealing, I'll take it to the kitchen. Work flow is good. If you are sealing one bag while filling another bag, the bag will seal before you can fill the next bag. Great for sealing liquids like soup, chili and other products. Works great for partial blocks of cheese. I can find no fault with it. Much better than the four old school vaccume sealers that have all died on me. The next test will be how well it holds up over time.
