product description
Size:8" (Inch)
These small yet powerful units are probably the most ubiquitous packaging machines, and are used to seal bags for a great variety of industries and applications. They are affordable and easy to use, which makes them a great alternative for light-duty bag sealing applications. The sealing process is simple: The operator places the bag over the sealing element and lowers the upper jaw thus activating the unit. The seal process quickly ends once the preset seal time is reached. The operator retrieves the sealed bag and repeats the process...

Questions about PrimeTrendz 8" (Inch) Impulse Heat Sealer - Cellophane Bag Sealer.
Q:
Is this easy to use?
Answer: Very easy to use. We have three of them and bag 300+ bags of salt water taffy each day in a stand-up, resealable, Gussett-style bag from Clearbags.com. Keep the extra heating strip, we've had to replace one of them after several years of use.
Answer: Super easy to use. Seals and cut if required.
Answer: Yes. Pick the heat setting, press down and it will seal/clip the extra plastic from the sealed side depending on the heat setting. It did what I needed it to do and quickly.
Answer: Yes it is,just turn the dial to the heat number you want and leave it,then put your bag in between the base and the top and pull it down and a few seconds later it's sealed
Answer: Yes I love it! I’ve created so many different favor bags.
Answer: Couldn't be easier!
Q:
Are there bpa free bags available to use with one of these?
Answer: You can find biodegradable cellophane bags that are bpa free online.
Q:
What is the seal width? Is it 5mm
Answer: Don't buy this item. It's flimsy and not work your money.
Q:
Will this seal ziploc material bags? I'm planning to make popsicles by dividing the bag into strips. Thanks!
Q:
Mine has stopped working with sparks does not seal any more what do I do? should I file a claim?
Answer: Yes, file a claim. These items are very poorly made and quit working after only light use. I had to return mine as well.
Answer: ?How long have you hadbit? Is it still under warranty ? If yes then I think you need to file a claim.
Answer: It sounds defective. Yes, file a claim.
Answer: No problem, the replacement they sent me is still working but it is very quirky. I spent well over a hundred bucks on a really good one. It depends on your usage volume. They were very good about sending a replacement but I think these are kind of sub par quality.
Q:
Does it seal seran?
Q:
Will this seal the end of a plastic straw?
Answer: Yes this will put a flat seal on the end.
Answer: I returned this sealer because it did not seal anything.
Answer: Yes, this sealer will work well with a think plastic. Please keep in mind, a higher temperature setting may be required.
Answer: I have no idea but I suspect not since the "shrink" material is a special plastic sensitive to heat.
Answer: Yes- I just tried it with a straw (the ones with the flexible section) and it worked fine
Q:
Is this good for sealing mylar bags? Specifically mylar bags.
Answer: Yes, this sealer works well with Mylar bags.
Answer: Hello. Yes, mylar bags are sealed perfectly.
Answer: Yes it is.
Q:
is unit clicking and turn off light when reached desired point?
Answer: Hello there, how are you? Yes once the light goes out the an your bag is sealed. Yes you will hear a clicking sound as well.
Answer: Question isn't clear.Light comes on when unit is plugged and the handle is pressed down. Not an indicator that temp is hot. A hint - mine does not work with and extension cord- it must be plugged into wall outlet
Answer: Yes this is normal.
Q:
Will this seal those bags you get from Walmart in the beading / jewelry / craft section? They're the 100 count bags for about $2
Answer: The impulse sealer can be used to seal or cut most types of plastic bags. Please note, you may need to adjust the temperature and time depending on the thickness of the bag.
Answer: Hello R. Kuykendall, hope all is well. They will seal those bags. The quality is ok. But if you are looking for a quality bags go to gifts international inc. They have an abundance of bags and extra to make your packaging look amazing.
Answer: Not familiar with those exact bags but I would think it should work fine. Do you know what type of plastic they are?
Answer: Yes those bags should work just fine
Answer: Yes I believe it will seal them
Answer: They don't specify the material but it looks like it will work fine.
Q:
what is the return policy on these?
Q:
which brand is it?
Answer: It says PFS which I think stands for Plastic Film Sealer. I would look for a brand name, this particular brand has a short life, mine only lasted for 9 months, I have to replace it now. I have found a brand called C&H that looks to have a good track record, it costs a bit more, but if it lasts any decent amount of time it will, in the long run, actually be cheaper. That is usually my way of purchasing, get the best not the cheapest. On this item I am sorry to have tried to save the money. I have needed the sealer and it is non functioning. Good luck.
Answer: Hi James. I keep forgetting to look for the brandname. I will try to do that. Nonetheless, this is a really good impulse sealer, and I use it quite a bit. No problems so far.
Answer: its either impulse or simple sealers
Q:
will this seal cellophane bags?
Answer: It would probably do just fine with cellophane but are you positive that's what you have? Cellophane isn't used much anymore. I use a lot of flip top baggies in mine and it works very well. The temperature is adjustable so you shouldn't have trouble sealing whatever plastic you might want to use.
Answer: Yes, and it works great! It has a heat setting knob so your able to increase or decrease the heat level depending on the item your sealing.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Will it seal bubble material to form bags
Answer: I do notn recommend that. This is designed to seal cellphone based materials. Bubble wraps may gum it up or start a fire.
Answer: I only use it to seal cellophane bags, sorry!
Q:
Does it cut off the excess bag or I have to cut it off after sealing?
Answer: You can usually tear of the excess right at the seal but there is no blade cutter to cut of the film 1/4" below the seal.
Answer: Yes you have to cut off excess. It seals the bags nicely.
Answer: It seals only and if there is an excess, you need to cut it off.
Answer: You can tear the excess off while sealing, a cutter can also be purchased separately.
Answer: I can only answer this way, as I used it on a project 8 months ago right after I received it. The finish seal was very clean, so I did not have to cut anything afterward. It is designed to keep a clean edge. I love this machine. It looks intimidating to use, but it was very easy to use and figure out.
Answer: You tear off the excess bag when you push the bar down. The heat lets you tear it off.
Q:
My bags always stick to the bottom no matter what I do. And my seals tear at the edges. :( Pls help?
Answer: Bags stick: possibly due to thickness or quality of the plastic..cello vs polyurethane vs plastic.
Answer: if my bags "stick" after the 1st heat seal, I repress them. seems to do the trick- make sure the heat isnt too high and also make sure you are holding down the handle to complete the seal until you hear the click and the red light turns off. If that doesnt work, it may be the bags themself? *good luck, hope it works.
Answer: Sounds like you are holding it down too long or the heat is set too high? i literally press down and lift..like less than a second..and they seal perfectly. There also should have been a replacement wire in your box..maybe try that? or write to the manufacturer!
Answer: What material are you bags? Have you turned the timer down to a minimum?
Answer: You have to lower the heat :)
Answer: Reduce the heat a little bit
Q:
Does this work on florist cellophane
Answer: yes it should work fine.
Q:
will this unit seal 8 mil Stand Up Pouch bags?
Answer: Most people use foot sealers or continuous sealers for stand up pouch bags because the seals are wider and stronger.
Answer: Yes, the sealer works with bags up to 10 mm in thickness.
Answer: Don't know. It handles 3 mil tubing okay.
Q:
Can you use this to seal foil balloons?
Answer: Mylar balloons - yes.
Answer: Yes its easy
Q:
I want to seal up snacks into small serving portion bags. What kind of bags on amazon would work for this sealer, and is food safe?
Answer: Crystal clear cellophane and food grade polypropylene work great with this sealer.
Q:
Will this sealer seal drinking straws to make honey sticks?
Answer: I am not sure, Ive never tried that. I only use it to seal cellophane bags, sorry :(
Answer: I am not sure. I will try it tomorrow and let you know
Answer: That's what I use it for,
Answer: yes
Q:
Can I use this to seal foil bags?
Answer: Probably not unless they are quite thin. Foil bags usually require a wider seal and/or heat from both top and bottom.
Answer: I don't know. I don't have any foil bags.
Q:
Can I use this to separate and seal simultaneously the shrink wrap bags I purchased elsewhere?
Answer: I don't know. I use it to seal salt water taffy bags, 8oz and 18oz standup gusset bags. That's all. I don't know about the separate and seal at the same t
Answer: Ummm... I'm not sure what you're asking. This sealer doesn't shrink wrap. If just heat seals cellophane bags. I got bags from elsewhere that this works great on.
Answer: Never tried sealing bags simultaneously...i did purchase my shrink bags from somewhere else
Answer: This will seal the bags. I don't know what you mean by separate and seal simultaneously, please explain.
Answer: Yes it will do that but both sides will be sealed closed.
Answer: Yes, the only thing is that it doesn't suck the air out to shrink wrap the items. Just seals off the plastic wrap so that you can shrink it with heat :)
Q:
I just want to make sure this sealer has the US plug, not Euro, is that correct?
Answer: It has a us plug. It is a great product, I love it.
Answer: Yes. It has the US plug
Q:
Does it seal honey straws?
Answer: Yes you can seal straws.
Answer: It didn't correctly seal anything I tried to seal, but I didn't try honey straws. I ended up returning it. I tried it with lots of different bags, on all the settings multiple times.
Q:
Does it seal cello bags and poly bags? or only cello bags? anyone tested? thanks
Answer: Yes you can seal cello and polly bags. We have tested many types. If you want you can send us your bags to do a test seal.
Answer: Yes it will seal a variety of materials. Start with the lowest heat setting possible and work your way up until the desired seal is reached.
Answer: Hi, Only used it on cello bags and it works great.
Answer: what size is the sealing strip?
Answer: I don't know because mine didn't work
Q:
Does this sealer have a cutter as well?
Answer: No ma'am
Answer: No
Q:
what kind of bags will this NOT seal?
Answer: Not sure. However, there is a temperature control knob that you can adjust depending upon the thickness of the bags.
Answer: Make sure the width of the bag fits inside. I've used rice paper as well as plastic bags. If the plastic is too thin it will melt.
Q:
I want to use it to shrink wrap CD's. What kind of bags should I get for that?
Answer: This does not vacuum or shrink wrap. It simply creates a single line seal. It is for cellophane based plastic only. Other types of plastic will stick, burn and ruin the teflon strip. Hope this helps.
Answer: I have no idea. I used it to seal fruit pops
Answer: I have no clue... I am sorry
Q:
Can you order more of the strips?
Q:
Will this seal Kraft Paper bags that are food grade quality with the foil on the inside?
Answer: YES IT DOES!!! It seals foil chip bags, however the 8" I have is kind of short so you have to fold the bag to fit.. Still WORKS GREAT!!!
Answer: I'm going to say no because the heat makes the cellophane "melt" which is what seals the bag shut.
Answer: I agree w/ Sara --- it's heat sealing, so anything that is susceptible to heat should work alright; just experiment on small pieces first.
Q:
Is this impulse sealer pfs-200, in the front on the black plate above the indicator light is there a screw??
Answer: I think the new versions are slightly different but the same basic design.
Answer: Yes it is which holds that melt strip
Answer: yes
Q:
does it work on shrink wrap
Answer: If you turn the temp down quite a bit it might. Keep in mind that shrink wrap won't completely seal shut because it's too thin. The best you could do is reinforce it a bit. If you need a liquid or air tight seal you'll have to use cellophane or some other material made for heat sealing.
Answer: yes it does.
Q:
Will this cut and heat seal satin ribbon? Instead of using a flame to heat seal the ends of my ribbons, I’m wondering if this would work.
Answer: I don't know about ribbons but this sealer barely even did the job it was meant to do. It's also cheaply made and not worth your time and money.
Q:
How strong can this seal cellophane bags? What material would have the strongest seal from this heat sealer?
Answer: The seal strength should be the same on all materials. If anything the material itself will rip before the seal. I would check with your material supplier as to what they recommend for your specific use.
Answer: I would say that it is of medium strength. It is not so heavy duty but it also provides a decent seal.
Q:
where can you get replacement heating elements for this?
Answer: I don't know. Good question. Keep looking and searching.
Q:
Will this sealer seal Mylar bags?
Answer: Try sealing a mylar bag with a iron, if it seals then it would work with the sealer.
Answer: I'm afraid I don't know if the sealer can handle mylar bags. The 1 page literature that came with the sealer mentions use for polyethylene and polypropylene bags. We use the sealer to keep medical instruments sealed up in plastic bags for storage after they are sanitized. Sorry if this answer is not much help.
Answer: I have only used it with the cellophane bags. I love it! It works fast
Answer: Yes! That's exactly what I use it to seal!
Answer: Hello Nancy, to be honest I am not sure, but I am almost positive it can....
Q:
Will this work for oblates (edible film discs)?
Answer: yeah it should, you would prob have to use it on a low setting though.
Q:
What reseals the frozen bag of veggies well?
Q:
will it seal nylon cooking bags?
Answer: This sealer works well with Poly and Mylar bags.
Answer: Yes it will.
Q:
do you have 220 volt model?
Answer: No we only sell 110V for the US market.
Q:
Does this have a cutter?
Answer: No it doesn't have a cutter. It just seals the cello together in a straight line.
Answer: BKG is right - NO cutter; read the description carefully (and an unit w/ a cutter costs more)! Ryan's "use" is interesting, but I just cut w/ a scissors.
Answer: I use this to seal small plastic bags. The heat seals and cuts the bags. You can set it to seal for a longer period (i.e. leave it burning for an extra second or two) and it will certainly cut through.
Q:
Will this heat seal foil balloons?
Answer: Yes! That's exactly what I use it to seal!
Answer: Yes. But if you need it just for one or only few balloons, why bother buying this? Use edge of regular iron, or hair curling iron, or soldering iron or hair straightening iron...
Q:
Will this work to close the seam of a shrink wrapped item? In other words, will it seal shrink wrap material?
Answer: Yes, this machine will seal shrink wrap material.
Answer: I'm not sure but I know it sealed a plastic coffee bag. You may have to simply shorten the seal time
Answer: Yes. I only use it with shrink wrap so far and it works fine.
Answer: Yes
Q:
I purchased cello sheets instead of cello bags. If I cut up the sheets can I seal them too?
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can you use this on shrink wrap?
Answer: I haven't done so, but this video may help (https://youtu.be/Gx1dn2TZ0CU). So far, my sealer has been working great. I've had it for 7 months but use it less than monthly. You have to find the proper temperature for what you're sealing. Then, you have to figure out how long to leave it after the seal to lift it off. You may already know all this, but it was new for me.
Answer: is good
Answer: Yes
Q:
What voltage does the machine work on? is it available at 220V?
Answer: Hello, Yes, you can use 220 volts
Answer: We only sell this in 110V.
Q:
Does this sealer create a wide crimped looking seal or just a thin straight line?
Answer: Just a thin straight line, maybe 1mm wide, up to 2 depending on the pressure you apply. In my experience it's been airtight for positive and negative (vacuum) pressures. The seal is very clean looking, and can be repeated one after another if a wider seal is desired (just tried this). It's got an adjustable timer too so you can seal different thickness plastics with ease.
Answer: It creates a thin straight line. It makes a great seal.
Answer: If I pull it off too soon I get a crimp look. If I open it and let it cool a few seconds then I get a nice thin line.
Answer: hello Lisa, just a thin straight line...
Answer: if used correctly it will give a 4mm seal
Answer: Just a thin line, no special crimping or anything fancy!
Q:
Hi, will it work in Europe on 220 v?
Q:
Is it powerful enough to seal honey straws?
Answer: It's garbage! I used it a few times and it fell apart.
Answer: Yes it should work but you can send us samples to test if you like.
Product reviews of PrimeTrendz 8" (Inch) Impulse Heat Sealer - Cellophane Bag Sealer.
Rommel : More like a 7.5" heat sealer...
I had to return the item I ordered because it did not actually fit the 8" plastic sleeve that I wanted to heat seal. This heat sealer can only do 7.5" wide plastics. But I wanted to share with others what I have seen when I opened the package. The 8" heat sealer I got was made of stamped metal and securely packed. I saw two 1-1/2" replacement non-adhesive teflon tape and 2 replacement flat wire in the box. What I did not see is an extra/replacement 1/2" adhesive teflon tape that goes underneath the flat wire. The flat wire is actually sandwiched between the 1-1/2" non-adhesive tape on top and the 1/2" adhesive tape below. The 1/2" adhesive teflon tape would have to be purchased separately at a premium price. It seems these heat sealers are sold at bargain prices because they easily make up for it by charging more for the replacement parts. Similar to what printer manufacturers do with their ink supplies.
Victor : Works with the super thick Mylar Moisture Barrier Bags.
The previous sealer I bought did not get hot enough to seal my thick mylar bags, I kept having to user a cheap iron to seal those, it looked very unprofessional. I figured that for the price this really can't be beat. I am VERY happy with the purchase and the price.
Mr.G : Easy to use great seal on the bags .
This works good. Takes a bit of experimenting but my wife had it working quickly . She uses this to seal her bath bombs and hasn't had a problem . Take your time and practice on a few bags to get the right heat time and pressure and you will be good to go .???????? you can use this for a lot of stuff as long as it is smaller .
Lynn : After 2 years, still work well with no hick ups
It does everything it suppose to do. So far after having this product for about 2 years I am more the happy. It has already paid for itself. What I like is the ability to use all kinds of plastic around the house to shrink wrap my soap. My friends love the fact that I am up-cycling the plastic wrappers found with tortilla products at HEB.
AKL : I love my bag sealer
I love my bag sealer...the only problem is that the plate does get quite hot...just need to be careful to keep my fingers away from the strip.
Amazon Customer : stopped working
I used it twice and it stopped working. Not worth the money, get you something pls
Suzette Guiseppi-Francis : Five Stars
Great product. Great price. A must for your home.

Belinda Cooley : Seals in an instant
I love this handy dandy tool. I was previously using my food saver to seal my decorated sugar cookies. It took more time using the food saver. The Impulse sealer is so quick! Put your bag down, push the handle and BEEP. DONE.
wingman : Creates 2mm seal. Let it cool before pulling the bag off.
It works really well. It's super easy to use. I've already found the perfect setting for the two different thickness bags I have.
I think they forgot to mention in the description that it creates a 2mm seal.
One piece of advice: let the bag cool for a few seconds before pulling it off the sealer. Otherwise the seal will deform since the plastic is still melted.

HOWDY2+5 : Very good product!
Have used this item for a few days, and it's operating well, as most reviewers agree...No noise, no overheating, no problems so far! The only slight disappointment is that the heated portion ("line") is barely over 1 mm wide, but I just "make" 2 lines - solved! I'll re-comment if anything changes, as I want to use it for years to come. Good product at a good price (after all, it's a very simple concept) - does the job; ie, food saver for freezer/airtight storage.
J. Semder : Amazing!
I was very hesitant to buy this but I am so happy I did! I use this to individually wrap my decorated sugar cookies to sell as party favors. It seals them great and look so professional. It also keeps them so fresh!
jackie Galubenski : Operating Instructions
Who wrote the minimal directions? Or proofread them? They were written by someone with no attention to grammar or punctuation. Despite that, I sealed my first bag.
GoUnion : Great value; works perfectly
I use this for sealing up bags of pellet hops for home brewing (lower power setting), as well as for sealing up craft-paper, 2-oz coffee bags (highest setting). This works great in both applications. I have not had problems with it and have sealed up a dozen bags so far. It comes with an extra strip, which is nice, and you can order extras on Amazon, it appears. Once contact is made, you can hear the sealer buzz. When it stops (automatically), lift the lever and remove your sealed bag. I highly recommend this.
Debi : Works perfectly
I bought this sealer to help with samples for my essential oil business. It works perfectly and is so easy to use. I can produce several samples in a minimum amount of time with no wonky seals. It seals everything the first time and no leaks. I highly recommend it.
Elle : Very happy with my purchase
Very happy with my purchase. I use it for dog treats in cello wrap and it seals up great and keeps the treats fresh. Very easy to use and great price. Highly recommend!
Maggie O : Love the size!
Works very well! I use it to seal my bath bomb shrink wrap packages.
Jean-Michel Gabet : Please work on the manual
Good product so far and it seems to be working as promised. The product was most likely made in China, and I wish the manual had been reviewed by English speaking professionals. It's almost to the point of being unintelligible. And that does not help at all understanding how to operate it, possibly resulting in faulty operations and, by way of consequence, bad reviews.
NA : I am a happy customer. I was assisting a client drop ship ...
It seals various bag sizes well, I am a happy customer. I was assisting a client drop ship their products in foil bags and this made short work of 1,000 bags.
S. Calcuttawala : Five Stars
Works great
Hollistar4 : Not new as described, was already used!
Alright, so after a few complications:
Arrival-A day late(no big deal)
Open package to inspect-I noticed that something did not seem right, even though the description said new and the sticker on the box says NEW, it looked as though it had been used MANY times over as the cloth on it had been burned and the metal base had been burned(small sized spots) almost looks as though it sparked and almost lit on fire, even the rubber (upper portion) had char marks on it. Some of the metal was warped where the screws were as if it had been disassembled and reassembled a few times.
First Usage- Despite it had been a used item, I decided to give it a try, well I tried 2 different bags and multiple settings and it did not work AT ALL, I was aware on the steps to use it(from others experiences)despite the directions were very poor English. I was seriously going to return it and was very dissatisfied with it. I even looked at it further and noticed the one of the screws that holds one side of the strip was missing(which is why it probably did not work, the other screw on the other side had rust starting to form on it(close to where the char area is)
After some pondering- I decided to go pack it up to return it and after looking in the box I had seen the extras for the wire and the cloth, and low and behold that tiny screw(I am surprised it did not fall out of the box) so i disassembled and re assembled and decided to try it out, well it worked, so now I am not sure if I should keep it and hope it keeps up(being that it is already IDK how old and used) or return it because it is used.
Overall I don't know whether to give this a 2 or 3 stars, my whole experience was not pleasant.

BKG : Easy to use!
This cellophane sealer is so quick & easy to use. You just plug it in and clamp down on the part you want sealed until the little light comes on (it takes about 2 seconds)! The other great thing is it doesn't use heat, so you don't need to worry about burning yourself. It's as easy to use as a stapler, but instead you get a thin line that seals the bag. The only thing that you may not like, is the seal is not a perfect straight line.
Lysa Ann : Don't waste your money!!!!!
I wish I could leave ZERO stars. This thing stopped working today. The SAME day I received it. I'm right in the middle of packaging my soaps for my customers, and now I'm just screwed. Don't waste your money. I've already packaged it up and it's on the way back to Amazon.

Great product. Great price. A must for your home.
Lisa B. : This tool does the job
What an excellent tool..I purchased it to seal single cookies for my bakery...works like a charm, seal is perfect. Quick and easy to use!!
Ross Wood : Inexpensive not the way to go.
The heat element burnt out after about 10 minutes. Replaced with 1 of 2 spares that came with it and that failed, also.
Robert Van Voorhees : Perfect!
It takes a few trial and error takes to get the setting just right for the cellophane bags you are using, but once you get that, packaging cookies are a breeze! It does create and air tight seal, so make sure you remove some of the air from the bag before sealing if you are shipping so the bag doesn't pop in transit.
Amazon Customer : not bad
would buy agian

Very happy with my purchase. I use it for dog treats in cello wrap and it seals up great and keeps the treats fresh. Very easy to use and great price. Highly recommend!
Sandra Dee : Five Stars
Worked perfectly!!
Betty M. Patton : Good quality.
Love the ease of using this.
Robert Van Voorhees : Perfect!
It takes a few trial and error takes to get the setting just right for the cellophane bags you are using, but once you get that, packaging cookies are a breeze! It does create and air tight seal, so make sure you remove some of the air from the bag before sealing if you are shipping so the bag doesn't pop in transit.

Amazon Customer : Works perfectly
Wish I had this year's ago
Ross Wood : Inexpensive not the way to go.
The heat element burnt out after about 10 minutes. Replaced with 1 of 2 spares that came with it and that failed, also.
T. Russ : works great no problems
works great no problems,pay attention to the level on the dial.Test it before continuing with sealing items.comes with replacement parts for the heating element area.Be nice if it had more.
James Byrne : But that is easy to fix
Still using this, it is working well for me. Can come out of alignment if you use it regularly. But that is easy to fix. Cheaper then buying it from uline and with amazon shipping is free (I am a prime member)
Mr.G : Easy to use great seal on the bags .
This works good. Takes a bit of experimenting but my wife had it working quickly . She uses this to seal her bath bombs and hasn't had a problem . Take your time and practice on a few bags to get the right heat time and pressure and you will be good to go .???????? you can use this for a lot of stuff as long as it is smaller .
Sara K. Cook : LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!
I love this sealer, works for EVERYTHING!! You do have to waste a bag to figure out how to pull the bag off ect. but after that it's great!! has no on off, just plug in and push.. takes a second.. then your done.. if you work back to back sealing then it stays warm and works faster. cool to touch in 1/2 a sec.. Worth the price so far!!
Sam K. : Sealer works but doubt it will last long term.
Just received my 8" Impulse sealer and had a chance to give it a good test run.

Con's
Very cheaply made.
The metal is very thin compared to all of the other impulse sealers I have been using.
Has some side to side flex issues that I noticed will affect the line up of seal.
Long term durability
Background:
I have a business that relies on impulse sealers to seal Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Cellophane bags. Anything from 2" wide all the way to 8" but mostly in the 2" and 3" varieties.
We have at least 10 sealers in use at any given time and probably another 10 that I use for spare parts when the ones we use start to go bad along with extra teflon strips and spare heating element banding.
All the old sealers I have been using for the past 15 years are made of metal (no plastic units) and have the 2mm thick seal.
This unit has a wall thickness of 1mm. If you are using this once in a while then these units will work fine. If you need something that you want to use for years and need to use on a daily basis I suggest another sealer.
It seals fine, springs back up, and works as advertised.
Why did I purchase a less expensive unit when there are more expensive units out there?
Let me say that in the 15 years I have been purchasing sealers more expensive doesn't equal higher quality/better when it comes to these types of impulse sealers with 2mm sealing surface without the cutter.
I've purchased $120+ sealers and ones that were $20 when Harbor Freight had the 8" and they were identical except color and sticker branding. When I say identical I mean it. All the inner electronics are the same.
This is the first metal type that are made with this thin wall casting.
update 09/19/2014: After using this sealer a few times it stopped working. I suspected that it wouldn't last but didn't think it would take a dump so soon.
I have many other sealers which I use on a regular basis so I didn't have a chance to use this one until I was at the station it was located at.
It now sits in my junk pile to be used for parts.
