product description
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. Bags are sealed repeatedly and uniformly.

Questions about 8" (200mm) Impulse Manual Bag Sealer Heat Seal Closer + Free KIT
Q:
Is this sealer approved for food preparation? Does it have the proper placard?
Answer: I have a home cookie business, approved by the NYS Dept. of Agriculture. I sell my cookies at local food and craft fairs, and love my packaging. I use this sealer on 9 x 12 cellophane bags and it works beautifully! I love that I can package my own product and it looks great and very professional...I would personally and professionally recommend this item for your use.
Answer: To my knowledge the heat sealer is not the food safety issue it is the type bag. I use a heat sealer to seal roasted coffee bags. I do not recommend buying from this company as the delivered item did not work and they initially refused a return. I went to ebay with better results from a different manufacture of the same item.
Answer: I think it does. It comes in a box with instructions, photos, and a manual....and it's easy to use.
Q:
Does this work for Myler Foil Bags?
Answer: This product is designed to seal mylar bags as well as other types of plastic bags. The adjustable temperature makes this appropriate for a very wide range of product thicknesses and materials.
Q:
Is the heating element flat or round?
Answer: The heating element is flat
Answer: Flat, but I've used round replacements...they worked fine.
Answer: Ebay
Q:
Can you use this to seal cellophane bags smaller than 8 inches?
Answer: Yes...8" is the maximum seal width...but you can seal any width that is smaller:)
Answer: Yes, you can seal any bags smaller than the width of the machine. Turn the heat down for cellophone, though, or it will melt instead of seal. This is a marvelous machine, we love using it for all the charity work we do.
Answer: Yes you can. Watch your heat level. Depending on the thickness of your bags adjust your heat.
Answer: yes you can
Answer: yes.
Q:
Would this seal static shielding bags?
Answer: Yes. I have been using it to do that.
Q:
Hi, I would like to know if you be able to ship this sealer to Bogota, Colombia, South America? If so, how much will be S&H?
Answer: Sorry, we don't provide international shipping.
Q:
Is it battery operated? or is it electric? If battery operated how long do the batteries last? thank you!
Answer: It is electric, no batteries needed. I love this and I am ordering 2 more for my store. Hope this helps you.
Answer: It is electric. Not battery operated.
Answer: It's Electric. I love mine. Have been using it for over a year, and it seals cello and other types of bags. Great deal, and an effective product as far as I'm concerned. Hope you have as good a luck as I have had...KD
Answer: This is strictly electric.
Answer: Electric
Q:
Does this work on sealing airfill mylar balloons
Answer: We use this to seal coffee bags and to create a seal for shrink wrap. There is a timer to adjust how long heat is applied. We did several tests to get the timing just right and with our coffee bags we flip the bag over and re-seal the bag to ensure all four layers are melted together. Test, test, test. It's great for small production but not great for detail work.
Q:
How do I purchase just the replacement kit?
Answer: Good morning dear Jaimie,
Answer: You could try searching for "impulse sealer replacement kit." Because Amazon.
Answer: You can search for dealers
Answer: You can search for dealers
Q:
Will this work on food storage bags, like the seal a meal brand?
Answer: YES IT WILL WORK ON MOST PLASTIC BAGS
Answer: I've not tried it, I use this for sealing commercial packaging.
Answer: I don't know for sure. I've never tried it on them, but i suspect that it will. They are poly so I don't see why not.
Q:
Does this have a cutter?
Answer: No, it doesnt have s cutter.
Answer: You can do the seal and pull method, which effectively tears the bag where it's being melted. Or you can just use a good pair of scissors. But to answer your question directly: NO.
Answer: No, it doesn't. That would be convenient, though. What I've done is buy bags that are super close to the finished size I need so I don't need to cut them. Or just cut with regular scissors. No biggie, but it's an extra step, yes. Still, this is an excellent deal and really makes a professional impression.
Answer: No
Q:
CAN THIS BE USED FOR BALLOONS?
Answer: What kind of balloon? I'm assuming you mean the foil kind? Yes, I think it will work fine for that application.
Answer: No!!
Q:
When I plug it in and try to use it the power light does not come on and it does not get hot. Am I doing something wrong?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Power light only comes on when contact between upper and lower touch, also heat is instant .... Hence... (impulse) seal.
Answer: All you have to do is just plug it in, there is no "on of off" switch, place the bag on the sealer, and press the top handle down to seal, and it will seal. You can also adjust the time of seal from the knob in the front.
Answer: Power light does not come on until you press the top on the heating element.
Q:
Can this shrink wrap DVD Cases?
Answer: The impulse seals the ends of a shrink wrap or cellophane bag but it doesn't shrink the bag. You have to use a heat gun or blow dryer to shrink the bag.
Answer: it wont shrink wrap it but it will seal it closed with a small amount of air inside it.
Answer: No, it can not shrink plastic.
Answer: No it cannot. You need a food saver for that with a built in vacuum
Q:
does it work on bubble wrap?
Answer: To be honest, I never tried it on bubble wrap. Other sites say you can use this type of sealer on bubble wrap. If you had the flat side of the bubble wrap on the outside to seal, it should work, but might cause more plastic melt on the heat bar.
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: It might, I am not sure and dont want to try it with mine just in case. The air pockets may be problematic....I think it should be used on a flat plastic.
Q:
well this work to seal a filter type tea bag,(paper )
Answer: We use it to seal tea bags. I needed to adjust heat levels and hold it down for about 3 seconds. Make sure tea bags are heat sealable.
Answer: I don't believe so. It is designed for: Mylar, Polypropylene, Static shielding, Nylon, Polyethylene, & Polyurethane bags
Q:
Where was it from?
Q:
Can this be used for Kraft paper bags?
Answer: Yes it can be used on heat sealable paper bags
Answer: Hello Samantha B.
Answer: I've never done that, nor would I ever try. Not sure why you want to seal a paper bag. The device gets very hot and would burn and catch the paper bag on fire. I'd never do that. Something has to melt. What would melt in a paper bag? It's paper. No -- Don't do this. Someone could get hurt. Best wishes.
Q:
Does this seal grosgrain ribbon?
Answer: Seals anything if you get the timing down right
Q:
Can you use it with bags longer than 8" if you scrunch the bag up on one end and seal in 8" segments?
Answer: You can, yes, but it wouldn't make a good straight seal.
Q:
Would this work on Kraft zip top bags?
Answer: I use it to seal all kinds of bags. I haven't found any yet that it wouldn't seal.
Answer: Yes, I believe it does seal most plastic bags.
Answer: No it has to be cellophane bags only.
Answer: I expect that it should. They are made of the correct material.

We have replaced the wire and tape on it twice. Now a metal underneath them in the body of the machine is melting, is there a replacement?

Q:
Are there freezer bags that I can use with this for meats and vegetables ?
Answer: I doubt it. This just seals one edge. It does not vacuum seal the bag. There is still air in the bag once sealed.
Answer: I’m not sure, I only use it to seal cookies, the bags I get aren’t meant for meat.
Answer: Dear Customer,
Q:
How many elements and Teflon tapes come included with free kit?
Answer: Hi dear Christina,
Answer: There were 2 element/teflon tape kits with the sealer I received.
Answer: Comes with 2 of each.
Answer: They send you 2 kits

Q:
can we purchase unit with round wire?
Q:
Will this product seal straws? I have a honey business and recently my vendors have been asking for honey sticks. Polyester straws.
Answer: It's labeled to do polyethylene and polypropylene BAGS. Straws are thicker material, I have tried it on some plastic drinking strewa with some success. I don't know what the straw material is. It may be polyethylene The container of straws is not labeled.
Q:
Does this have the proper plug to be used in the United States? (I am in desperate need of a new impulse sealer )
Answer: Hi dear Halley,
Answer: Yes it does. It is your standard household plug that is used with most US appliances.
Answer: Mine one does, I am in the states too
Answer: Yes I am in the U.S.
Answer: Yes
Q:
I'd like to know if it can seal waxed paper. Please let me know. Thanks
Answer: It will sell it together but it will accumulate wax on your heat strip, which may cause it to burn out faster
Q:
I wanted to seal the coat hanger hole of plastic bags from the dry cleaners and use the bags as can liners. Would this heat sealer do the job?
Answer: It should ! , Set it to 2, if it doesn't seal try setting 3. The liner is so thin, that it may burn a hole if too hot. If temperature is too low, you could try higher. This sealer is very sufficient for most bags
Answer: It most certainly will fuse polyethylene bags
Answer: Yes it will but you will have to set it on a light heat setting
Q:
What is the highest temperature the machine reaches?
Answer: I don't know because the temperature is not listed on the device or on any manual but I've been impressed with how it works. I tried it on a Gladd garbage bag and it sealed it well.
Answer: Honestly I'm not sure we use it to seal plastic bags and only have it set on level 2 of 7. It only turns
Q:
will this item properly seal foam or bubble wrap?
Answer: no, i use it daily and it is very tricky to use with thin mylar food grade bags, even on low it tends to burn thru to easily and quickly, it would burn thru rather than seal foam or bubble wrap.
Q:
what size is the sealing strip?
Answer: sealing strip-5"(130mm)
Answer: 8 inches, I use 6 inch bags with no problems.
Q:
Does it seal a bag with an sugar cane paper exterior and corn plastic interior?
Answer: can be used to seal kel-f, mylar, polyflex, p.v.a., polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride.
Q:
Can this work with mylar bags?
Answer: Maybe not sure... I use it for sealing cellophane bags in soap making . Hope this is helpful .
Answer: Yes
Q:
will this seal wax paper
Answer: Thank you for your question
Answer: I do not think it is meant to seal waxed paper but rather plastic. It gets hot really fast and I would worry that it would burn rather than seal wax paper.
Answer: I have no idea. It's very hot, so it might make a complete mess and "gum up" the device. I am sure I would even try it. Try a Heat Gun that is used to shrink wrap gift items. We use a heat gun for things like this. If a heat gun doesn't work, neither would this. Hope this helps a little!
Answer: No, it does not
Answer: No, it won't.
Answer: Sorry, im not sure. Better ask to the saler company
Q:
I use an iron to seal the edges of a muslin bag. Can this product do this and, if so, what temperature do you recommend?
Answer: I am not sure but I do not see why it would not work. I would try it on a low to medium setting and increase if the heat if you need to.
Q:
Can I use this on Kraft stand up bags?
Answer: Not sure what a Kraft stand up bag is, however, I use it on generic Ziploc bags I buy at the grocery store. It states that you can adjust the setting for different thicknesses of different bags, but I found the factory setting was perfect for my needs. Hope this helps.
Answer: Hi dear Karen,
Answer: I don't think so. It's mainly for shrink wrap bags
Answer: I think you could, as long as they are sealable.
Q:
Can this be used to seal/fuse grocery bags?

Q:
Does this work better than an iron for sealing refillable paper tea bags?
Answer: I've never used an iron, and only used this sealer for cello bags and it works great.
Answer: These machines are intended to seal plastic materials
Q:
Is this just the sealer kit or is this the actual sealer?
Answer: Its the actual sealer and it comes with an extra kit.
Answer: It's a sealer which comes with a kit to replace the element if it fails. I never had a chance to replace the element, mine caught on fire the first day I used it, and I threw it in the trash.
Answer: It is the sealer.
Answer: Thank you!
Q:
If you wanted a very tight seal on something, could you use shrink-wrap bags in this, and then shrink them? Or does this somehow eliminate the air?
Answer: This does not eliminate the air. It simply seals a plastic bag, and not any plastic bag. Make sure the bad you select works with a heat sealer. It does make a tight seal. I use mine on mylar balloons.
Answer: Hello actually this sealed but does not take air out. The quality of the seal I would not trust under pressure
Q:
Is it important to get the exact size for the bags you're sealing? My bags are 2.5" wide . What happens if I use a bigger sealer than I need?
Answer: I would say it is not critical to get a size to match your bags. Our sealer could accommodate an 11 inch bag. our biggest bag has a mouth of 6 inches and smallest bag has a 3 inch mouth. The sealer works great. Just make sure the sealer is as big or bigger than the seal you are wanting to make.
Answer: It's ok to use a bigger sealer because you just place what you're sealing and then press it down. I used to use a 12 inch sealer to seal 5" bags but bought this one after.
Answer: It works any size or with of bags your sealing. If its smaller it okay plus it comes with extra sealing coils.
Answer: Hello Fairah. No it doesn't matter if you use a bigger sealer. The bags I use are about the same width and I'm ok with that. At least with this sealer you have enough room for wider bags should you have those sizes too. I'm very happy with my sealer. It does the job perfectly. Hope this helps.
Q:
The sealer in the photo is iron/metal body. Is the sealer received metal or plastic?
Answer: The item pictured is an exact representation of the item received. This is an extremely well made machine, obviously designed for commercial use. The body is metal and very sturdy.
Answer: The sealer we received is metal. It has been very reliable.
Answer: The one that I received was plastic. I sent it back because it was badly cracked and scuffed upon arrival. I have since received a new one that is plastic as well, but it works very well.
Answer: Metal
Answer: metal
Product reviews of 8" (200mm) Impulse Manual Bag Sealer Heat Seal Closer + Free KIT
robert damelio : Returned
Sending back stopped working after 4 bags
D. S. Motor : I took this out of the box and immediately began ...
I took this out of the box and immediately began using it. I would have given this 5 stars, but the manual is awful. It is obviously written by a non-English speaker. It takes a couple of reads to understand the directions and that should not be. I have had information translated for my business and it only cost $5. As much as the product suits my purpose, I would not have selected this if I would have seen the manual.
Hi Def Watcher : Simple, inexpensive, and useful
I roast my own coffee and wanted to seal the bags I put them in. As long as the bags are not the super slick thick gloss bags, but the thinner (I like the craft paper, plastic lined), bags, this is awesome!
The instructions are translated Chinese, but hey, if you can't figure out how to use this unit, you are probably one of those people that fall asleep using a hair dryer.
It is auto-on, and auto off, and damn near impossible to burn yourself when even trying (hold my beer).
I will update with longevity.

Phillip S. : Well-made, durable product, a little tricky to properly use, but no great learning curve. Good quality, good price.
A well-working product, you get exactly what is advertised. I just want to encourage people to not confuse this product with a vacuum-sealer product. Essentially, if you have a hair straightener in your bathroom closet then you can perform the same operation that this machine does, except for free. It simply melts a straight line across a plastic bag which is no longer than 8" wide. Also, be careful to lay flat the plastic bag where you are going to seal it, it's very easy to not make the bag air-tight, especially if you're using a bag 8" or 7" wide. All in all, a very durable, well-made, well-priced product. If this is what you're looking for than this is a good choice.
Helena Reynolds : Love, love, love it!
Love, love, love it! This machine is great for packaging items and sealing them in anticipating of shipping. If you forget to unplug it, it's fine. Does not actually heat up and seems to be fairly safe around kids and pets.
JMac : Very easy to use!
As a seller, I really like to reseal/seal all my products. With this product, I can seal my little bags and they look very professional. They seal very well. At times, they don't seal completely and I have to double seal it, but overall it works great. I've been using it very often and it hasn't broken down on me yet. I am really happy with this product.
K. Dandrea : Okay sealer, poor design
As far as sealing goes, this is a fairly decent little machine. But the teflon strip that holds the heating element in place got dark pretty quickly with regular use, which left unsightly marks on the tea sachets we used it for. When I tried to change the heating element and teflon strip, the back screw was impossible to replace. I couldn't angle my screwdriver properly, and eventually both screws I used just dropped into the body of the sealer. I really don't recommend this product.
Austin : works fine so far
works fine so far. I have only had it for a few days. The instructions were clearly written by someone that speaks English as a second language and never bothered to have anything proof read. Here is an excerpt from the instructions you will receive with this product. "Non-tighten seal is because of the too short heat time, please regulating it toward to directions for Longer." That was one of the more decipherable instructions. It doesn't matter too much though. The thing is pretty self explanatory and has worked well for the short time I have used it.
Michael L Ginsburg : a second round and an additional 5 second holding does the trick nicely and this machine is not even rated for anything ...
the handle on mine got a little out of whack after just a few uses. however, it still works and works well. I am using it to seal polypropylene and medium density polyethylene cosmetic tubes. While it doesn't seal right away, a second round and an additional 5 second holding does the trick nicely and this machine is not even rated for anything that dense. this is why it gets the 4 stars despite the somewhat rickety handle.
max : This thing works like a charm I love it
This thing works like a charm I love it! Thought it would be tricky to manipulate but its not. Only thing it says leave plugged in but I don't do that have no need to. I'd recommended it to any small business owner that needs to seal their bags I use it to seal my pouches for my refill body creams and scrubs..
Daria Bennett : You get what you pay for!
Product is easy to use, just plug it in, set the knob, and press down until light turns on! Decent product for a decent price, make sure to let it heat up first or 4 seals in your plastic will melt!
T and L : Wouldn't hesitate to buy another if needed.
We've used it on about 400 CDs and it works great. At first I assumed it was supposed to actually seal and cut the bags all in one action but it seems to be just designed to seal the bags and then you must cut the bags yourself. Once they're cut then I use a heat gun to shrink them. Works well and consistent for what we do with them.
SnarkyTexan : Recommend for Perfectly Posh Consultants for Mylar Bag Samples
As a Perfectly Posh consultant, I was using lacons. Little plastic containers, to share products. Then someone discovered mylar bags. What do you use to seal those? A heat sealer. This thing is perfect. Even if you get some product in the wrong place, this heat sealer will not have a problem with it. I've used a hair straightener to seal before and it would just not seal if there was any product in the way of where I wanted to seal. This thing has no issues there. I also use it to seal bags of food if I need to. It also comes with a spare wire kit so when the first stops working, I have a backup without having to order. The timer works perfectly. I've even been able to seal 2 bags at once if I take my time. The heat sealer with the mylar bag makes my samples look professional and I love how they look. In my opinion, it's less messy too. I have a friend with a smaller sealer that's more "portable" and said it wouldn't seal the bags very well. I tried and had little success. This baby does the trick. I recommend this for consultants for sure.
CCJ : It might not seem like it's on
When I plugged it in nothing happened, or so I thought. I was about to ship it back, as other reviewers did, but then I tried it again. I found when I pressed down, the light came on. The heat only comes on by demand and the strip stays cool to the touch, which is why it seemed as if nothing was happening. I was expecting it to come on like an iron or something. It works pretty well, but clearly the instructions could be better. I use it for thin cellophane bags for baked goods I sell. It seals firmly at the 2 setting, though I would also second another reviewer who suggested getting one that also includes a cutter. I find it hard to trim the tops of the bags evenly.
Amazon Customer : Broke after just sitting on the shelf.
I bought this product in May 2019 and I have used it about 3 times since then. When not in use, it sits on a shelf in my kitchen. I have not used it since August, and at that time it was in working condition. I tried to use it this past weekend, and it is broken. I plug it in but when I push down the lever, the light doesn't come on and it doesn't get hot. My husband took it apart and didn't find any disconnected or loose wires inside. Maybe if it had used it a ton of times 6 months would be acceptable, but considering it didn't even last 5 uses I would not recommend purchasing this product. Put me in a bind when it came to packaging cookies I wanted to stay fresh through Christmas.
gpprince : it does what I need it to do.
I bought this to seal zip lock mylar bags that I store seeds in from the garden. it is easy to use even though the instructions were written by a non native english speaker and can be confusing at times. but once a sentence is read a few times I could see what they were trying to say. it does its job well and hopefully it will last a long time.
Chris M : Typical Chinese Quality(...and The Lack Entirely Thereof)
Absolutely horrible. Housing is completely made of plastic and looks almost nothing like the pictures. Also, it doesn't heat up hot enough and long enough to bond Mylar/BoPET.
Parts of the body are held together with wood screws, the manual says, confusingly, that the dial is for "degrees" and "seconds". The highest setting, 8, only keeps the unit on for 2 seconds and will NOT seal Mylar/BoPET.
The power cord is also ungrounded and is thinner than some USB cords, which is downright frightening. I intend on replacing that as soon as possible.
What I'm going to do is bypass the timing circuitry connected to the logic board sitting behind the dial and then relocate the on button from under the hinge to a hole I'm going to cut into the side of the devices body.
There's more than enough room inside to do this and if you have any sort of experience with modifying cheap Chinese equipment, I suggest you do the same. That way you can hold the silicone bar down and just turn it on for exactly how long you want it to be on.
Never buying anything from HiRez or any of the other vendors t hat sell this item ever again.

AmazonShopper : Awesome!
What a difference this has made in my cookie packaging! Everyone who received my cookies professionally sealed in a cellophane bag has commented on how professional they look and how fresh they stay. I love this thing, and can't believe I didn't have one before now. It's so easy to use and I know I will have it for years and years to come. It's great how it comes with an extra parts kit, too, that's a nice bonus. Excellent product, highly recommended!
Stack⠀Overflow : Works On All Kinds Of Plastics; Consider Getting the 12" (Or Larger) Version
The Impulse Manual Bag Sealer works beautifully once you get the heat setting right for the particular kind of plastic (e.g. Polypropylene and Polyethylene) and thickness (e.g. 3 mil and 5 mil). Getting the heat setting right (by using the heat adjustment knob) involves a little experimentation.
The width of the seal is about 2mm. The sealer will work on ANY kind of plastic bag. I've tried it on a variety of plastics: grocery bags, Ziplock bags, sheet protectors, laminating sheets, mylar, and even the non-woven backing on CD sleeves! On non-porous plastics, the sealer creates an airtight seal EVERY time.
I use this sealer for not just packaging but for a variety of non-conventional uses. I use it to reseal bags of chips, make custom pockets and bags for my camera lenses and filters, "reconstitute" air pillows -- you know, the kind you find in Amazon's packaging? -- that I've pre-punctured and flattened for storage. I also make disposable mylar sleeping bags with it (it takes a few passes). The usefulness of this sealer is limited only by your imagination!
I've been using this sealer heavily for 2 months now and it's held up very well. The teflon-coated fabric strip is showing a little wear and has areas of blackened residue (from melted plastic, which can be scraped off). Nonetheless, the fabric and underlying wire are fully functional. The sealer does come with two sets of replacement fabric and wire. When it comes time to replace them, you simply have to unfasten 2 brackets (by loosening 4 screws) and replace the wire and teflon-coated fabric strip.
I wish I had gotten the since I often use it to reseal my big bags of chips to preserve freshness -- the 12" version should seal these bigger bags in one convenient pass. So, if you think you might use the sealer for larger projects, consider getting the 12" or larger version of this sealer!
There may be BETTER sealers out there, but if you're looking for a BUDGET sealer, it is the opinion of this reviewer that the Impulse Sealer is the way to go.
The width of the seal is about 2mm. The sealer will work on ANY kind of plastic bag.

On non-porous plastics, the sealer creates an airtight seal EVERY time.
I use this sealer for not just packaging but for a variety of non-conventional uses. I use it to reseal bags of chips, make custom pockets and bags for my camera lenses and filters, "reconstitute" air pillows -- you know, the kind you find in Amazon's packaging? -- that I've pre-punctured and flattened for storage. I also make disposable mylar sleeping bags with it (it takes a few passes). The usefulness of this sealer is limited only by your imagination!
I've been using this sealer heavily for 2 months now and it's held up very well. The teflon-coated fabric strip is showing a little wear and has areas of blackened residue (from melted plastic, which can be scraped off). Nonetheless, the fabric and underlying wire are fully functional. The sealer does come with two sets of replacement fabric and wire. When it comes time to replace them, you simply have to unfasten 2 brackets (by loosening 4 screws) and replace the wire and teflon-coated fabric strip.

Prime user : Heater seal bagger work great!
Product worked very well, but the instructions need a bit of a rewrite. The control dial is numbered however, there is no reference to the numbers. The directions are poorly written/translated in English with no specifics on setting the control timer. You will have to do a few practice runs to get it set to the best spot for the material that you are using. Once I figured that out it worked perfectly.
Daria Bennett : You get what you pay for!
Product is easy to use, just plug it in, set the knob, and press down until light turns on! Decent product for a decent price, make sure to let it heat up first or 4 seals in your plastic will melt!
Jay : Solid value good quality
Excellent bag sealer. I have used it for sealing bags of food to freeze and also for making honey draws. Time adjustment for melting various thickness.
SpaceSheep1 : Pleasantly surprised!
I wasn't sure if this sealer will work with different kind of plastic bags, but it seems to be able to handle anything I throw at it!
It seals plastics with water and air tight seal, which I didn't expect. I also was able to seal bubble envelope and even those heavy grey antistatic bags, although antistatic bags do not seal as well as others.

I took this out of the box and immediately began using it. I would have given this 5 stars, but the manual is awful. It is obviously written by a non-English speaker. It takes a couple of reads to understand the directions and that should not be. I have had information translated for my business and it only cost $5. As much as the product suits my purpose, I would not have selected this if I would have seen the manual.
Helena Reynolds : Love, love, love it!
Love, love, love it! This machine is great for packaging items and sealing them in anticipating of shipping. If you forget to unplug it, it's fine. Does not actually heat up and seems to be fairly safe around kids and pets.
Phillip S. : Well-made, durable product, a little tricky to properly use, but no great learning curve. Good quality, good price.
A well-working product, you get exactly what is advertised. I just want to encourage people to not confuse this product with a vacuum-sealer product. Essentially, if you have a hair straightener in your bathroom closet then you can perform the same operation that this machine does, except for free. It simply melts a straight line across a plastic bag which is no longer than 8" wide. Also, be careful to lay flat the plastic bag where you are going to seal it, it's very easy to not make the bag air-tight, especially if you're using a bag 8" or 7" wide. All in all, a very durable, well-made, well-priced product. If this is what you're looking for than this is a good choice.
Cheryl H : Purchased to seal plastic bags ..........
... works like a charm! Takes only a couple of seconds to seal 2x4 plastic bags, saving loads of time and the closure is much more secure. Great buy!
Medicated Madame : Product didn't work
Instructions are written very poorly. I received a faulty unit, it doesn't work at all. ...this should be checked before sending it out. Bad business
Stack⠀Overflow : Works On All Kinds Of Plastics; Consider Getting the 12" (Or Larger) Version

this is a great sealer you got to be careful using it or you will break the heating coil underneath. once you learn to give it a rest after continuous use it can become a great tool for sealing and storing things.
Marion Camacho : Broke in less than 1 year
This heat sealer stopped working after less than one year! I only used it to seal 2-10 bags about once every two weeks. The seller said it doesn't have a warranty for a year... I don't recommend this heat sealer. I've used heat sealers that lasted over 5 years without any problems. This one is obviously not of good quality.
robert damelio : Returned
Sending back stopped working after 4 bags
FarmGirl : Bummed!
This is what I needed for my bakery company but it was just thrown in a box , the box wasn’t taped so it had fallen out it was dirty and scratched. After about 2 weeks of use the fabric piece they have laying on the surface has peeled up and is giving problems and makes it hard to use...
ND : Uneven quality, short lifespan
We have bought several of these. You never know what you you will get. It might have a sturdy metal housing or it might be cheap plastic. However, all the units have very short life spans. They all stop working after a few months. We are looking for a good quality unit, even if the initial price is higher because the cost of these "throw away" units adds up over time.
Sylvester Morgan III : kind of funny. 2
Shipped on time, does the job. I use it to seal bags of baked goods. A few issues:
1. The instruction are in VERY ROUGH English. A bit hard to understand, kind of funny.
2. Even at the longest (8 seconds) heat setting, some of my bags don't seal right the first time, so I have to do them twice. (It could be the bags I'm using.)
3. Sometimes while sealing, there are a few sparks coming from the metal screw on the bottom half of the machine, below the black handle. Nothing too scary, just a bit strange. I might need to tighten the screw a bit, but still, it shouldn't do that.
4.The machine smells funny, kind of like chemicals or paint...not sure. I use it and put it back right away in the box it came in, then store in a closet.
For the price, it gets the job done. If I were to buy another one, I might shop around a bit more and splurge on a machine made in the USA.

Debs Dream Store : How did I work, with out it
I don't know how I ran my soap business without this sealer. I use lots of shrink wrapping in my soap business to wrap my soaps. Together they see on my soaps perfectly For retail and wholesale orders. Thank you for the opportunity to review this product. Take care Deb

Noah : Cheaply made and ineffective
I have to seal both sides of my bags to guarantee a complete seal. The heating element creases in one place and, after sealing about 100 bags a week, I've gone through 3 elements in the space of two months. Ridiculously cheap. Definitely worth shelling out for a more expensive sealer that can seal in one press and can actually handle being used often.

Ok so this item has had a few issues since purchasing in August 2016. However, I was able to bypass them until yesterday when it stopped working completely. Sadly, I'll be ordering a different brand because you expect the product to work longer than a year and a half:(
Sam : Great item
Easy to use and works great
Very good buy

genabeebers : Seals polyurethane bags perfectly. Used setting 1 on a ...
Seals polyurethane bags perfectly. Used setting 1 on a 3mil polyurethane bag for cookies. There is no on/off switch. The sealer heats up quick. Place the bag onto the heating element and pull the arm down. The red light will stay on for a second and turn off when the bag is sealed. If the heating element is too hot, the bag will melt where you're trying to seal it and it won't seal properly.
Amazon Customer : Does not seal properly-kinda burns it brown
Bought this awhile back and when I went to use it, it did not seal properly. So I thought maybe it was me and decided to watch some YouTube videos since that is where I got the link or suggestion to purchase it. Went back and tried again, using different gauge (75&100). It burnt the wrapper and shrink wrap did not look right. No real instructions, not happy, really want to return it if I can, maybe a defective item. I only used is a handful of times and just gave up. the burnt shriveled up look on handmade soap for gift giving looks awful. Then the middle strip looks ripped from it being burnt.
Cocoburg Coconut Jerky : This is a workhorse!
Been using this for 5 years now, I think we've had to replace the element once, but it's still going. We don't do huge volume, we use it pretty sporadically, but whenever we need it it's ready for us.
Nick : I wish I'd gotten it sooner!
This is the best price for one of these I've found. I'm really pleased with the seal, I started with a low '1' setting and moved up to '2'. that's it. takes a moment to align the bag and a moment to press the handle, a small clicking sound, wait a second and it's done.
It comes with 2 sets of replacement parts.
I will use it for my home business.
One thing that I thought was it would stink like plastic chemicals when I was running it, but it never did. I am glad for that!
The instructions are poorly translated but that doesn't really matter, they are simple enough to understand even if the translator didn't mind their p's & q's.

JayBards : Excellent Product, Great Pricing
I was skeptical about a device that costs only $25, since I had previously used similar ones costing $200 or more. This sealer is nearly all metal construction and has a timer on the end that adjusts the length of time the heating element is activated. Other systems use a variac that adjusts the amount of heat applied to the strip. There is no on/off switch, so the device is always off until you lower the presser arm, when the device heats the strip for the amount of time you select on the dial. For cellophane bags, I used a setting of #1 and it sealed perfectly through the bag and folds. I was concerned that cellophane was not heat-sealable, but it was not a problem. The directions are poorly written, but it is possible to figure out what they mean since the device is so simple. The take-home is: the dial adjusts the time (not heat level), press down and hold in position for 5-10 seconds after the light goes off (to prevent sticking of the plastic to the upper presser arm), the device is always off until you press down. Although they say to leave it plugged in all the time, I would unplug it if not in use (just to be safe).

T. K. : Good product with some maintenance drawbacks.
This product worked very well and I liked the adjustable dial for the heat settings. However, the wire burned out rather quickly and when I went to replace it found it to be a cumbersome task. The screws holding the wire in place were so tight I couldn't get them out without stripping the screw or twisting the wire. I ended up taking the bottom plate off and holding the screw securely from underneath. Not easy. All the screws were different, also. After replacing the wire 4 times (the replacement wires I purchased held up better than the ones that came with the unit) it just bit the dust. Too many times taking it apart and jiggling the wires, I guess. Seems to be a production problem or design flaw. I'm not sure. However, considering the price, if your not a heavy user this could be an okay product for you. If you use it a lot, I'd spend a little more for something easier to maintain. Overall, for the price and ease of use (not maintenance) it's a good value.

JamesN808 : Good sealer for small bags
Worked very well in sealing a couple hundred bags for a fund raiser. I liked that the sealer only turned on when depressed and really gave off very little heat otherwise. The seal itself was solid and air tight. We only used it on a small cellophane bag as the width is limited but again for small projects it worked very well. The heat setting was adjustable for different bag thicknesses. Price was reasonable for purpose.
