Questions about Deni 1331 Freshlock Vacuum Sealer

does the vacuum suppose to shut off automatically or does it keep running?

Answer: No the vacuum does not automatically shut off. When you feel the bag no longer has air then you just press the right side to seal it.

Answer: the full extension of the lid downward turns the vacuum on. It is manual, and letting up on the pressure stops the vacuum mode. Seal it then release vacuum. Works good for the price.

what size bag rolls?

Answer: They have same brand of bags, and the ones we purchased were worthless. We never understood how to use them. Other brands did not work. We returned the sealer and tossed the 6 rolls of "bags", which were basically a piece of plastic doubled over.

Answer: They are 11"×33' rolls, 1 box of 3 rolls make approximately 66 6" bags.

Answer: The rolls I buy especially for the Deni machine are 11 inches wide and 20 feet long

Answer: 11" x 50ft. but don't bother,piece of crap.

Where can I buy replacement rolls for the Deni Freshlock 1331? Will any 11" rolls work with it?

Answer: I would love to know the answer to this question myself. I have not been able to use my Deni Freshlock because I have not been able to find the replacement rolls. I had ordered a 2-pk of 11 X20" rolls from Amazon and they were too large.

Answer: We purchased bags through Amazon. However the "bags" were a roll of plastic that was folded, required sealing 3 of the sides. We returned the sealer and put the bags in a junk sale; they should have simply gone into the trash.

Answer: I have used a variety of bags (brands) & all have seemed to work just fine. You can usually good find sales/coupons at your local "Super-Center" type stores, As well as some great deals here on Amazon. Note- If in doubt, Just purchase a size smaller in width. Good Luck!! :-)

Answer: I have only ever found the bags online...mostly here in Amazon. And no I'm afraid they won't. I guess its worth a shot but there's no garrantees of the other bags will retain the vacuumed affect. I personally don't care for the machine OR the bags for that reason. I'm looking to upgrade first chance I get.

Answer: I got mine at Amazon

What is address or phone number for Deni-Vac?

Why so many bad reviews? Want one cheap but a good one.

Answer: I bought a "reconditioned" one, and it worked great for about the time it took the warranty to expire. Wouldn't get another one if it was free.

Answer: Don't buy this one then.....trying to find the phone number of the company is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.....bought mine 7 months ago...used it maybe once a month and it crapped out....now I'm trying to get it returned

does the roll of plastic fit inside the machine?

Answer: The roll received with the machine does fit inside it. Not sure about the ones we purchased beforehand (they were Deni brand). We returned the unit. Recommend Foodsaver.

Answer: No it doesn't. Also this product is a cheap piece of plastic garbage. terrible suction power and terrible sealing mechanism. i returned it right away. Buyer beware.

Answer: Don't know. Instructions did not say. Mine never worked. Wish i could return it

Answer: Yes

does this basg fit deni model 1331

Answer: Any bag up to 11" wide will fit it.

the vacuum on my model 1331 does not work. The sealing is working find but not the vacuum. And ideas what could be wrong ?

Answer: Not the best model I've ever used. Sounds like the air pump is broken. Throw it away and buy a Black & Decker - they seem to last longer. Good luck!

Answer: Check and see if the hose is clogged.

when did they first sell theses fresh sealers?

Answer: I don't know. However, I bought it January this year. It's useless. I follow all instruction. It sucks the air at first, but after sealing, I don't see the seal broken, but the food is not packed tight like in the middle of process. FYI, I use the bag sold together with the sealer.

Answer: I have no idea but please do not buy this product!!!!

Answer: Don't know but the one I bought doesn't work.

Answer: Sorry, I have no idea!

I am from New Zealand. Will I be able to buy this item and what will the shipping costs be?

i need to buy bags for deni freshlock 1331

Where can I return this product. It has never worked.

I bought one and the wire across the sealer is pulled out can you help with fixing problem

Answer: I didn't have that particular problem, but I thought the wire was a very poor design for a sealing unit. Also, the bags are way too thin not to be melted and perforated by a hot wire. Sorry I can't help with your problem.

Answer:

Answer: I really don't know as I'd mess around trying to fix it myself. Upon looking at my deni freshlock it appears the wire goes down inside. I would call amazon cust service & maybe see about a replacement. Sorry that's not much help.

Answer: If you purchased recently, I advise asking for a refund. Pure junk!

Product reviews of Deni 1331 Freshlock Vacuum Sealer

Igor V Vassiliev : Deni 1331 Freshlock Vacuum Sealer - bad choice.

The product didn't work as intended; the motor was running, but the pump did not suck the air. I had to return it. The seller was very accommodating with the refund and return though, so I am writing this off on a bad item entirely.

Majid Fahad Al-Jasser : Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware

Very bad and beware of buying them because they do not work and it does not do what is required Rla you empty air, but is only to close the packaging bag
Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware of buying
But is losing money just

stephanie watson : works well

My dad is a hunter of all sorts and he needed something to put in his camper to keep the meat until he gets home. My mom dosent like to mess with the meat and dosent want it in the freezer with other foods. this way it is sealed and they both can have what they want.

G. Ronk : Didn't listen to bad reviews, but should have

In spite of the poor reviews, I thought I would take my chances with this item because of Amazon's great return policy. I should have listened to the the reviews. It didn't vacuum straight out of the box, and I returned it immediately.

Avid Chef : The worst vacuum sealer I have ever owned

I own several Deni products. This is the most dissapointing. It doesn't vacuum all the air out. I even returned it for a replacement & I expierenced the same problem. This is going into the trash & I'm getting another FoodSaver.

Cyndie Emig : use it everyday

We basically use this to close bags to keep items fresh. I have one on my counter and use it everyday. I bought this one for my daughter that just got married and wanted one in her new home. We are both big fans.

silvio : the machine is not power full to pull enough vacuum .

the freshlock vacuum sealer is nice machine but is not pulling good vacuum on food bag it leave oxigen inside thosefood bag is not heavy duty machine this is my experience with freshlock machine.

D. Gullion : A must have in my house hold

I have owned this type of vacum sealer for several years. I use it every day with great success. I have tried the heavier duty ones and have had no luck making the thicker bags work. I use my Deni for making frozen dinners which I can take from the freezer to the microwave. For storing rice and dried beans it is perfect. This will be my second one in six years. It took me a couple of trys to get the vacuum and sealing down pat, but I now use it to reseal packs of potatoe chips, bags of frozen vegetables, and freezing meat. For me, this product will always be part of my kitchen.

Phuong : No vacum at all!

I purchased this with expectation that I can save food left over or split a large amount into one serve to store. However, it just seal but not vacum at all. Even the sealer, it's not good, it's unsealed by accident.

Majid Fahad Al-Jasser : Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware

bertha : bad product

I do not like this item. The vaccum doesn't work, is money losed. I prefer other brand better than that.

Kelvin Guzman : it Alright

At first it took about two people to work the machine. but when we caught the hang of it and know it absolutely great. our meat is fresh and clean i love it.

Bonnie T. : 15-year-old Deni

I have had this Deni Sealer for over 15 years. I've NEVER had a problem with it! True, it's the lower end of sealers, but it works well. You just have to get used to using it, selecting the correct heat, positioning the bags for sealing. Sometimes, it doesn't vacuum, but the bag just needs to be repositioned. Sometimes, the seal function cuts off the top, but there's always been a good seal. I use it very often, cook big batches and have a freezer full of goodies to grab and go! I've re-sealed product packages such as bags of quinoa, large bags of nuts and candies to freeze for later. I've used it to package batches of pesto and even pasta sauce! Just be careful when sealing fairly liquid foods to not let it be sucked into the vacuum tube. Yes, the more expensive ones might not need as much care in positioning, but for the money this one can't be beat. I will certainly buy another when/if this one EVER dies!

Exactly what I was looking for and it works great.
There is nothing more I can say about this product

Beverly Weiss : Good luck!

This is the second Deni I have owned. I found that when I package ground meat I keep the meat trays the meat comes in. About 4 will do. When you go to seal it have the trays stacked in front of the sealer and it holds it level with where the air is pulled from the bag. The problem I think is the bag drops down when you have the food in it and it doesn't work. The problem I have is buying the bags now Sears has them listed but wrong price so contacting them. I don't have a problem since I leveled the bag in front of the sealer. Good luck!

Stela Pen : cheap plastic and not seal good

You get for what you pay. At first the price for sure calls your attention, but you need to be aware that this is a cheap bagging solution. The bag is thin and cheap (to have an idea it's thin like a supermarket/grocecy plastic bag but less resistant).
Second sometimes it seals, sometimes it doesn't. So it doesn't matter how much you work to vacuum the air from the bag because sometimes the seal is not perfect and since the plastic bag is cheap, any meat with bone such as t-bone can damage the bag and make a whole.
I never worked with FoodSaver vaccum sealer but I saw their bags and if we compare the quality of the Deni bag with the FoodSaver on a scale from 0 to 10 I would give 1 to Deni and 10 to FoodSaver.

Ronald Miller : Don't waste your time or money

This thing came with a roll of very flimsy plastic material that needs to be sealed on 3 sides. When sealing the plastic sticks to the hot wire that accomplishes the seal. If the machine actually removes any air from the sealed package it wasn't noticable. I shall spend the extra bucks to buy a FoodSaver instead.

Kelvin Guzman : it Alright

At first it took about two people to work the machine. but when we caught the hang of it and know it absolutely great. our meat is fresh and clean i love it.

Phuong : No vacum at all!

Avid Chef : Worst vacuum sealer I've ever owned

john c : crap

this item does not work the vaccumm mechanizm doesnt work. horrible product. I wouldnt recomend it maybe try a different model

Phuong : No vacum at all!

ERNEST THOMPSON : Three Stars

OKAY

Isaac Dann : GARBAGE PRODUCT!

I ordered this thing thinking it would be a decent vacuum sealer and it's not. Product doesn't even have enough suction power to get the air out of the thinner-then-sandwich-bag-poorly-made vacuum bags. And even if it did, the sealing mechanism is an incredibly thin piece of wire that ready to break at any moment. This is a garbage piece of chinese plastic, a waste of energy and resources. Don't be fooled by the pictures and description this thing sucks, and not in the way it should.

Trena Carrasco : sealer

When it arrived it didn't work. Turned around and purchased another one. Not happy. I am happy with the new one I received

Staci M : don't waste money

This sealer never vacuum well and the seal always had spots that didn't seal. It's. Obvious to me Deni tried to undercut competitors price with no concern that the product works. Won't buy deni again.

N. Hua : What a waste of money!

Bought this a few months back and never used it until now. This thing works great as a sealer but horrible as a vacuum sealer, it doesn't suck out any air what-so-ever, which is the whole reason for this purchase! The bags that come with it are thinner than a ziplock bag, and the whole thing just feels cheap.... just like what i paid for it... I guess it can be a good $25 paperweight or a door stopper, but definitely not what it was advertised to do. Would rate it ZERO stars if I could. Buy at your own risk, i've already attempted to warn you.

Igor V Vassiliev : Deni 1331 Freshlock Vacuum Sealer - bad choice.

Juliana Nelessen : Fresh food machine

I really love this machine. It keeps all my food from freezer burn, freshness, which makes all my food last so no more spoilage.

matthew : waste of money

waste of money. vaccum is worthless and rolls of plastic bags are also worthless.almost impossible to open end of bag. don't bother buying this piece of junk.

christel : I love it

Nothing better then saving food from freezer burn

Red Feather : Better than the handheld sealer I had prior to this one

I purchased the Deni 1331 vacuum sealer despite all the negative reviews seen here about it. Any new thing takes some getting used to, & therefore "practice makes perfect" I have no problems using this and therefore strongly recommend this as a beginner vacuum sealing tool. Once you gain knowledge/experience w/this model, then you may or may not choose to upgrade to a more complex model. Hope you find this helpful. Until then, happy sealing. :-)

R Guerin : Does not work!

Did not look at the reviews before I purchased. Should have. The product would not suck the air out. Tried it over and over with no success. It sealed properly, but you get that with a zip lock bag. Returned the item.

James R. Jackson : Five Stars

good

christel : I love it

Nothing better then saving food from freezer burn

barbara m : Very unhappy with this product! Does not work right at all!

This item is a real lemon! Is this company for real? Would never order this brand again. Why would you even send such as item to anyone!

Amazon Customer : So I used ziplock bags and it works great!

Use ziplock bags. I tried it with the regular bags it comes with and it's doesn't work well. So I used ziplock bags and it works great!

Allyson : Price reflects product

It's okay for the price. If you are new to sealing and not sire how much you will use it this is a good starter. I received this as a gift. Planning on getting a more expensive sealer when this one goes.

Gregory M. Smith : CRAP!

What a sad joke of a machine. Sometimes it pulls air out and sometimes not. The hot sealing wire sometimes seals and sometimes not so much, the bags which should be tubes, aren't sealed on the sides. I had to seal all four sides. It took me over an hour to make five small bags with a lot of wasted plastic. DO NOT BUY!
