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.
Features:Simple to use - No operator training.
LED sealing power indicator.
Adjustable timer for optimal seal control.
Seals bags made of any thermosealable material.
No Warm-up time necessary.

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: I expect that it should. They are made of the correct material.

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,

Will this product seal straws? I have a honey business and recently my vendors have been asking for honey sticks. Polyester straws.

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:

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.

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
Hawaiian Gal : Stopped heating after few uses was easy fix
After only a few uses the product stopped heating. I asked the company about the warranty but never got a reply. Feeling that I had lost money on the item I removed the back to see if I might be able to fix it. It was a very easy fix having to do with a button inside that needed to be clicked on to heat the unit. It had slipped down and wasnʻt clicking on anymore. A simple shim did the trick but how long it will last is another thing. It is working again and now I feel that I havenʻt totally lost money. I may still get my $24 worth yet! I would not order from this company again because I had no reply to what should be easy question!!!
Clayton Parks : good sealer
Nice sealer for the money. My daughter used for sealing up some cookies she was baking.
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.
Kevin G. : Pretty good
It'd probably be a good idea to get a 12" or larger impulse sealer unless you're certain that you'll only be sealing stuff that's a little bit shorter than a gallon ziplock length (or are willing to play around with multiple seals to get a full seal.) The temperature adjuster is accurate, but the knob is not well marked so it takes a bit of effort to make sure you have the 'tic' on the knob on the setting you want it at. If you're only sealing one sort of bag, once you get it dialed in it can just stay set. If you're sealing multiple types of plastic, with a bit of practice you'll get pretty good at guessing the heat setting needed.
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!

dobiegirls : Honey Sticks
I use to seal my honey sticks. Also use to seal bags for my body products - samples, bath salt refills, etc.
Would be handy if there was a temp selection. Some bags are quite thin and require a lower temp. Love it!

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.

shane dunn : great tool , works wonderful
works as described. sealing is a cinch with the kraft brown metal lined FDA approved bags I also purchased. took one bag and used it to hone in on the necessary setting by sealing then cutting of seal and trying again on longer setting.
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.
SC : Works Great.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this thing! I bought this to seal goodie bags for treats I bake during the holidays. After the first set of treats, I've been looking for excuses to play with it.
It sealed MOST things I tried. Chip bags were a little difficult because of the chips and grease residue. (i think)
the thin bags sealed QUICK. Most items did. And I learned that, at the right setting, if you time it right, when you pull the bag as you release it, it will definitely cut it for you.

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.
morgan : didn't seal
Does not work as well as others that seal the same thickness. It "looks" like it has sealed my packaging but it will leak out of the seal. I should have known from the price that there might be a flaw and I only bought it because my main one (which looks JUST like it) is in transit from a move. I do not recommend this at all.
I have even tried to seal over the same place more than once, twice, heck even tried leaving it pressed down for close to a minute with how luck.

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.
Shoppingmama : Ok so this item has had a few issues since ...
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:(
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).
S : When you find the right one....it's good
I went through about 4 of these from so many companies, all shipped by Amazon though (which made it easier to return, thank you). I kept getting ones that looked refurbished - scratches ALL over, some had melted parts on it, then one was perfect and new looking, however it didn't even work. FINALLY got this one from Technopack Corporation - works perfect, looks new (which is what I bought), and it's super easy to use. This was the ONLY one out of the 4 I got that actually came with extra heat strips... as described, but never received until I got it through this company! I am very happy I finally have one of these! Tested it out on a bag of chips, worked like a charm. Then I used it to seal up chocolates I make, works just fine! It's clean, not sure if it's NSF though, but it works. I've used it for several hours, straight, didn't burn out, didn't smell, didn't change the heating strip or damage it... the next day it still worked like normal. So I love it :)
Shipped great, no damage, comes with instructions (through this company, didn't get instructions from other companies, seriously), and I'm able to use it several times without it overheating or breaking.... so far!!

Nicki : So quick and handy!
This sealer arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I use it to make small mylar sample "bags" for essential oil samples. It is quick, silent, and effective. There was an extra conductor element in the case which I have not yet needed to use, but am thankful to have when I do eventually need it. I recommend this frequently.
BranL : I would recommend this to a friend based upon my personal experience ...
I bought this sealer October 2014 and have used it several times a week for extended periods of time each use. I have never had any problems with it at all. I don't know what I would do without this little baby. I use shrink bags with it, seal and apply heat. I keep the heat setting on 1 or 2 depending on what thickness bag I'm using, but have never needed more than a 2 on the heat. This unit came with a replacement strip that I am going to need to use soon, a burn mark is showing on the strip. Probably only a matter of time before I need to replace it, thus the reason for revisiting this purchase. I would recommend this to a friend based upon my personal experience with this sealer
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.

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.
morgan : didn't seal
Does not work as well as others that seal the same thickness. It "looks" like it has sealed my packaging but it will leak out of the seal. I should have known from the price that there might be a flaw and I only bought it because my main one (which looks JUST like it) is in transit from a move. I do not recommend this at all.
I have even tried to seal over the same place more than once, twice, heck even tried leaving it pressed down for close to a minute with how luck.

Bee J : Small scale production
This is a great starter for sealing plastic bags (in my case coffee bags) but the cloth that lines the sealing strip becomes marred easily and must be replaced often. It's great for our small scale operation/production.
Oh and the very first one didn't work on arrival and had to be replaced (not from amazon but some other company) the second one works perfectly and the third one from amazon also works as described.

Hawaiian Gal : Stopped heating after few uses was easy fix
After only a few uses the product stopped heating. I asked the company about the warranty but never got a reply. Feeling that I had lost money on the item I removed the back to see if I might be able to fix it. It was a very easy fix having to do with a button inside that needed to be clicked on to heat the unit. It had slipped down and wasnʻt clicking on anymore. A simple shim did the trick but how long it will last is another thing. It is working again and now I feel that I havenʻt totally lost money. I may still get my $24 worth yet! I would not order from this company again because I had no reply to what should be easy question!!!
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.
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.
BranL : I would recommend this to a friend based upon my personal experience ...
I bought this sealer October 2014 and have used it several times a week for extended periods of time each use. I have never had any problems with it at all. I don't know what I would do without this little baby. I use shrink bags with it, seal and apply heat. I keep the heat setting on 1 or 2 depending on what thickness bag I'm using, but have never needed more than a 2 on the heat. This unit came with a replacement strip that I am going to need to use soon, a burn mark is showing on the strip. Probably only a matter of time before I need to replace it, thus the reason for revisiting this purchase. I would recommend this to a friend based upon my personal experience with this sealer
dc : Good sealer
Had a cheaper orange plastic sealer that is sold on here on amazon. It was a POS. This one is much better. It still is a little cheap feeling, but it leaves a good, narrow seal. It's consistent and has worked well so far.
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.
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).
SoapMaven2009 : After purchasing this impulse sealer, I played with it ...
After purchasing this impulse sealer, I played with it until I found just the right settings for my shrink bags. It's strongly advised you do the same with whichever type of material you're sealing. This works quickly and efficiently, and is always-ready for the task at hand. The 8" size is just right for my home-business, and I use it to seal handcrafted soaps in shrink bags, as well as using it to perfectly size shrink-wrap for safety seals on bottles and jars.
After hundreds of seals, I did have to change the heating/sealing element, but I've experienced no problems or issues with this product. It seems to be well-made, and delivers exactly what it says it will. I would definitely buy this sealer again.

Allan M. Lees : Beware Poor Quality
I bought two of these items to test them out. One worked, the other was completely defective and didn't work at all. Not a good indication of quality control. Then I bought 4 more and two failed within a week. Customer service is non-existent. They don't respond to requests for replacements or product returns, so it's a huge waste of money.
This is a very poor quality product. Look elsewhere for your heat sealer needs.

Very low power to seal coffee bags; takes 12 seconds to get a marginal seal. This was the second product; quality is shady at best. The dial in the front is only a timer not a temp control time at cutting off when it reaches the 1-8 seconds (this feature only worked on one of the two). Recommend a more reliable name brand

Evers So Sweet : CRAPP IS ALL PLASTIC AND IT WILL TAKE A MONTH BEFORE YOU GET IT
Ok this is so infuriating!!! I waited for almost a month on this item and is not what I order. This is a cheap crappie one , I can even belive this is just wrong... look at the photos it's not even a good one. And the box was all bit up
And the replacement was not even in the box ...
Horrible I am returning this item.

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.
Sierra : Even though I just bake for fun, my cookies always look professional because their packaged ...
I don't know how I went so long without one of these! For such a reasonable price I think everyone should have one of these in their house! I heat seal my cookies into treat bags, and it keeps them fresh for almost 2 whole weeks! Even though I just bake for fun, my cookies always look professional because their packaged so well. It's also nice for resealing chip, cereal, and freezer bags. It has sealed all types of plastic for me, you just need to adjust the heat setting. I love love love this thing.
James P Schmitt : Minimum value
While this product is functional there is one significant problem. It operates on 110 volt 60 cycle power (plugs in the wall socket) it has no UL label or manufactures identification. Use by a third party could present major problems..

Joni : Perfect Seal with some Practice
It does take a bit of getting use to, but this is an amazing sealer! I am using them on Michael's treat bags right now (2mm I think) and I have my setting slightly above the #2 (but not quite at 2.5) I get a perfect, non-stringy, seal almost every time.
When you press down on the knob, a small red light comes on. The light automatically turns off when the seal is complete. I leave the lever down for an additional second then release. My bag usually sticks along the top of the sealer, and I simply tug lightly to unstick it. When I look down, I have a perfect seal. (see image). It is a tight seal. It is not easily pulled open - so keep that in mind.
It should not melt through the plastic (your setting might be too high). It should leave an impression from the heating element on the base, like shown.

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.

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.

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!
