Tilia FoodSaver Vac1050 Vacuum-Sealing Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The FoodSaver Vac1050 is my second vacuum sealer unit from Tilia. An earlier model just wore out from constant use. The unit works flawlessly and will pay for itself many times over. My freezer is full of foods bought in bulk and separated in vac bags for individual meals. I especially love the ability to seal foods in canning jars. Coffee, brown sugar, rice and flour are just a few of the dry items that will retain their freshness in these containers. I like to make large meals such as lasagne and stuffed shells, divide them into individual servings and freeze the portions in the resealable bags for lunches. And the bags are reusable even when used to store poultry. A little dish soap mixed with a few drops of bleach will kill any bacteria that may have formed. One suggestion on bags: Cut the bags much larger than you need. In this way, you can reuse them many times and just throw away the part that you have cut away when you open the bag.
This is an absolute 'must have' for a family. You can purchase food in bulk and never have to worry about spoilage or freezer burn. It will be one of your most used kitchen appliances and you will wonder how you ever got along without it!

FoodSaver V2240 Advanced Design Vacuum Food Sealer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Owned for a couple weeks now. It's worked very well. Does a great job sealing, and vacuum packing works wonders for holding flavor while storing food. A fantastic surprise to this machine is that you can use it to pretty much seal any plastic bags, which i didn't know. I thought it was only for vacuum packing in the foodsaver bags, but you can use the sealer on cereal bags, potato chip bags, and even the plastic bags that bread comes in. Had i known that, i wouldn't have pondered the decision for whether this was really something i would use enough to justify the purchase. I've been using it for something everyday.

By keeping air out and sealing freshness in, this vacuum-sealing system eliminates freezer burn and keeps foods fresh and delicious up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. The countertop appliance not only keeps food fresh longer, it also helps save money--no more having to throw away freezer-burned meat, moldy produce, or forgotten leftovers. Choose from two speed settings, two sealing levels (great for moist or dry foods), or canister mode for achieving the best vacuum seal on canisters and accessories. For vacuum-packaging delicate foods, the unit's CrushFree Instant Seal function immediately stops the vacuum process to prevent crushing. Other highlights include a flat touchpad control panel, an easy-lock latch, hands-free operation, a double-wide sealing strip, an accessory port, and a quick-clean anti-bacterial drip tray. A variety of accessories come included: an 11-inch-by-10-foot FoodSaver roll for making custom-size bags, three quart-size FoodSaver bags, two gallon-size FoodSaver bags, and accessory hose. With its sleek, compact design, the vacuum sealer measures approximately 12-3/5 by 18-2/7 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

8" Impulse Sealer - Cellophane Bag sealer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to seal cellophane envelopes for my note cards and artwork. It does a great job for that. Little did I know that it would come in so handy when our group of Sweet Adelines needed a quick and easy way to seal hundreds of pounds of nuts for an annual fund raiser. This is the 2nd year and we have saved hours of time and rolls of tape (the way it was done previously). You have to set the temperature with the dial (indicated in numbers 1-10) based on the type of bag and weight (easy to test). Then you're good to go.

Seal-A-Meal VS230 Vacuum Food Sealer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally was going to purchase a FoodSaver model with similar features (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design), but found this Rival model for about 40% less.
Even though this one is less expensive, I recommend others buy the FoodSaver for three reasons: 1.) The Rival model does not have an "instant seal" option. In other words, if you go to store anything soft (baked goods, etc.) with the Rival, it will crush / flatten the contents of the bag before sealing is complete. The Food Saver allows you to suck out the air and seal the bag before the contents get squished. 2.) If you go to Kmart or Target and check out both models in person, you will quickly see that the Rival looks and feels cheaply made in comparison to the FoodSaver. The FoodSaver costs more because it is a higher quality product. 3.) Our first Rival Seal-A-Meal failed within the first year. Rival's customer service is a farce. Two emails and one phone call have yet to be returned. I ended up having Amazon replace the product. I wish I would have taken the opportunity to upgrade to the FoodSaver (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design). When this one goes on the fritz, and I know it will, I will treat myself by not buying a Rival model again.
