Q:

What is the voltage requirement of this? 110V or 110-240V? Thanks!

Answer: 110V. Hope that helps. We love this machine. Works very well.

Answer: It runs of of normal household current list any other appliance.

Answer: Sorry, not a clue.

Q:

What is the largest bag you can use with this machine?

Answer: The pre-cut bags and roll of bags are all the same width

Answer: 7.9" wide is the widest we recommend. Thanks for asking!

Q:

When I manually pump air from bags using a hand pump sometimes juices come out. How easy is this to clean?

Answer: Very easy to clean. Has a pull out drainage container. This works exactly as advertised. A must for your Sous Vide cooking.

Answer: The opening is large enough for me to clean the sealing area with a clorox wipe. Hope that helps.

Q:

How big are the bags

Answer: Quart size unless you get the roll

Answer: They are wide, but you can customize their sizes.

Q:

does it work with mylar bags?

Answer: It's designed to work with plastic vacuum sealer bags only

Answer: Don’t know. Some materials are not good for sous Vide or storage. I would use recommended bags just to be safe.

Q:

Is this sealer compatible with most major vacuum bags?

Answer: Yes, it's compatible with food saver and many other brands including the generics

Answer: Yes, so far it seems to work with most. It’s probably not recommended, but I found it works to reseal Doritos and cereal bags (the thick plastic bags inside most breakfast cereal boxes).

Answer: Yes, but I would highly recommend the ICO bags, that are available on Amazon Prime.

Q:

Does it work with food saver attachments to seal cans?

Answer: Yes it does! You may need the original FoodSaver accessory hose, but you can attached the FoodSaver cans to this vacuum sealer. Thanks for asking!

Answer: I believe so, It comes with its own adapter to seal cans.

Q:

I have limited mobility in my arms is the bag is easy to get in the sealing slot

Answer: I have not had any problems fitting the bags into the sealing slot

Answer: While not difficult, this model requires the use of both hands to push down the locking mechanisms located at each end. The lock release also requires both hands to release properly. The unit cannot produce a vacuum seal unless locked as designed. Otherwise, I am pleased with the ICO upright sealer. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Answer: Yes, it’s easy. I push the edge as far as it will go and hold it in position so I can push the button.

Answer: No I would tell you to look for a different type other than it takes a lot of pressure to lock it down it works really well.

Answer: Yes

Q:

What is the suction Kpa

Q:

How does one create bags from a roll? Does the machine have a cutter? Compartment inside machine to store roll?

Answer: There is no place to store a roll in the machine. You would have to seal one end first and then cut the portion you wanted for your food. Put the food in and then seal or vacumn seal after the food is in place.

Answer: Cut off the size bag you need from the roll, then seal one end by pressing only “seal” on the machine. Then fill it and run it normally. No cutter needed, just stick the top of the bag in the machine. No compartment needed, the roll is separate.

Answer: You need scissors to cut the bags. The machine will seal it.

Q:

Does it seal liquids?

Answer: I haven’t tried sealing liquids but there’ no reason it shouldn’t work. The seal is very secure.

Answer: It can be used to seal jars, but you'll need to purchase special caps.

Q:

Where is this item manufactured-country?

Answer: I believe China.

Abad0n : Good no-frills Vacuum Sealer.

This is a space efficient vacuum sealer, it lacks a few of the bells and whistles of a food saver, such as plastic roll storage and a cutter for cutting the rolls, but other wise it's a pretty good sealer. The design takes a bit to get used to since it can be tough to tell when the locking bar is fully locked, but unlike foodsaver, it does allow you to rapidly re-seal w/o popping the lock. I used both Food saver and some cheaper vacuum seal roll i bought here on amazon. Traditionally speaking the cheaper bags always had issues sealing on my food saver, and i'd need to hit the seal button twice. This vacuum sealer still needed to hit the seal twice, but unlike my food saver, being able to hit it as soon as the 1st seal finished allowed me to actually get a complete seal. At this point i've used this to cook about.. 8 meals in my immersion circulatory and feel it does a good job over all. My recommendation is that if you buy this, switch from rolls to pre-cut vacuum bags, That way you have clean edges since this lacks the ability to cut and store the rolls.

Jared : Easy to use, On Par with other vacuum sealers

I have used this for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I live in an apartment with a relatively small kitchen, so this fits on the counter hidden away until I need it. Once you get the hang of it, the sealer is a breeze to use. while it may not have as many features as other brands, the sealer is perfect for any sized bag.

Macglen : otherwise no issues and a great

This has had moments where I have to un-plug it and plug back in to get it to work, otherwise no issues and a great purchase

Em B : Gift

I did not use it myself, it was a gift. They told me it was super and works great. Nothing bad to say about it for now. They got it for Christmas 2018.

Mike Souza : I like the small profile it has

I have used this sealer for several different things now. I like the small profile it has. I think it will be likely to be used more since there will be room for it on the counter. The fish, pastrami and chicken I sealed in it came out with a very tight and well sealed package. I used the stock bags as well as some FS bags and some other no-name bags. All performed well in this machine. The only small thing keeping this from a five star rating was that the lock catches take a fair amount of force to get them to snap down. That in itself is certainly not a big issue for me, but it took an almost moderate effort for my wife and 10 year old to set them. I would buy this again or give as a gift for sure.

CatfishMuffins : It Sucks

Works great, I use it once a week for meat and have been extremely impressed.

Amazon Customer : Does not work as stated.

Only used 3 times. Will not lock down and doesn’t not get all air out. Very disappointed

Peter T. : It's sturdy, well-made

I bought this as a gift for my father along with a sous vide machine, and he loves it. It's sturdy, well-made, and easy for him to use. He likes the fact that it doesn't take up a lot of space and stores easily. The vacuum seals are perfect. No issues at all, highly recommended.

Sauder : vacuums and seals at a good level -Wet and dry functionality to help with perils ...

This is the second vacuum sealer I've owned. Although I didn't mind my Foodsaver I was given the opportunity to try this product at a discount and figured I'd see what else is out there in regards to vacuum sealing.

Pros:
-Does what it set out to do, vacuums and seals at a good level
-Wet and dry functionality to help with perils of sealing wet or heavily sauced things (helped a lot with the sous vide banana infused bourbon I make)
- Tall, but not wide, doesn't take up as much as space as my food saver.
- Easy and intuitive to use
- Supports standard sized generic bags

Cons
-The side things you press down before sealing take more force than I'd expect.
- The nature of the device having only a slot to put your bag in makes it hard to tell where the seal is going to end up. I double seal most of my bags and it can be difficult to know where the second seal will be relative to the first one.

Overall, this is a product that achieves it's purpose without issue, looks great on my counter while taking up less space than my old comparably priced Food Saver. Would definitely recommend to a friend who is interested in getting a vacuum sealer.

gregory yoder : Cheaply Made

Quit working a year after buying. Do Not Buy!

Paul E. Keane : This is a very good vacuum sealer.

I found this machine very easy to operate. It is a robust and strongly built device. The product is thoroughly vacuumed and sealed, ready for sous vide. The bags themselves seem to be of very good quality. Everything about the product is solid; including the packaging and the printed materials. I would recommend this machine to anyone.

Angela : 5 I like that you can select your own size and cut ...

Quality rating: 5

I like that you can select your own size and cut the bags to fit.

Tammy : Great value. Will use this machine a lot.

Arrived early in good shape. The clamps were a little stiff at first but super easy to use. Very happy.

Hannah Warren : We have been very pleased with the vacuum sealer

We have been very pleased with the vacuum sealer. I mostly use it to store meats in the freezer (steak and chicken) and also to seal homemade sauces that I freeze, such as pesto and tomato sauce. I have been really pleased with the product, it keeps things fresh and without freezer burn!

Judy Shaw : Liked least was lack of

The design. Liked least was lack of instructions

Jason Pollack : Space-saving and works great, but not for everyone

Disclosure: I received this product for free for an honest review.

When testing out this product, I couldn't help but to compare it with my trusty FoodSaver (FM5480) which has been a staple on my kitchen counter for over a year. But it's important to recognize the ICO sealer for what it is, and for what it isn't.

What it is: A new design for a food sealer that takes up less counter space than competing products.
What it isn't: An appliance for storing, cutting, and sealing food bags.

Based on my measurements, it's 16.5" wide at the base, and about 17.5" wide including the lock catches, and 3 5/8" deep. It's definitely a space-saver compared to my FoodSaver, which is actually slightly narrower at 16 1/8" wide but 8" deep.

The sealing process works well, and did a great job on the foods I tested with, in both normal and gentle modes. Vacuuming was quick and complete, and the seal it created seems sturdy. I did find the lock catches a bit cumbersome. The instructions do highly suggest pushing on both at the same time, and I discovered that pressing one at a time led to the device tipping when pushing the 2nd one. I would have liked to see an electronically assisted locking mechanism. Since the device does not provide handling for vacuum sealer bags, I had to figure out I need to cut them and seal one end manually. There were no instructions on how to do this, and the first time I failed because I forgot to use the lock catches while sealing.

There is an accessory hose attachment, but I wasn't able to test this. I have a few canisters with FoodSaver-type connections, and the port on the ICO was a different type. Maybe ICO has their own connection type, or maybe it's a Europe/US difference? Either way, an adapter would have been welcome. I would also have liked to see a place to store the hose on the appliance itself.

Although there is a gentle mode, I didn't see a pulse mode, which would let you start/stop the vacuum cycle on demand for particularly delicate foods, but I did find a way to achieve this by alternately pressing the vac and stop buttons.

It's quite a nice and good looking kitchen appliance, although I would like to see some other colors in the future. Unfortunately, we won't be using this device on a daily basis as my wife found the lack of integrated roll handling a deal-breaker. But if you're ok with using pre-made bags or cutting and sealing your own bags from rolls, this is an easy recommendation.

Jared : Easy to use, On Par with other vacuum sealers

I have used this for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I live in an apartment with a relatively small kitchen, so this fits on the counter hidden away until I need it. Once you get the hang of it, the sealer is a breeze to use. while it may not have as many features as other brands, the sealer is perfect for any sized bag.

Damien : Need to seal and vaccum and seal couple of times per bag. Does not really work

It does not really work. I use the bags provided and every time I have to seal 3 times on one end and then vaccum and seal 2 to 3 times on the other side. Otherwise it does not get all the air . Or it vacuum indefinitely ( which mean the seal wasn’t not done correctly ) or when it stop sealing your bag refill in air.
Also the handles to lock the bag are very hard, no way to do with by pressing with one finger.

Tracy Bryant Van Anda : Use it for everything

Just got my vacuum sealer for Christmas along with a Sous Vide machine. Can’t wait to try it with that cooking method. In the meantime, I’ve made a food trip to Costco and have sealed all of my chops, loins and fish for the freezer. Even use it to seal my leftover onions in the refrigerator so that it doesn’t stink it up. Finally, bought some bottle stoppers and now seal the leftover (when there is any!) wine for the next day or so.
***Update: Had issues with my machine not working. Company was great though! Sent me a new one, no hassle!

randy a : ICO

Very simple to use....5 out of 5 so far.

Thomas Poulton : Best sealing bags period

I've been vacuum sealing everything with these bags because they are the best for the price and performance you can buy. They just work and have saved me a ton of money on food that goes bad.

Hannah Warren : We have been very pleased with the vacuum sealer

We have been very pleased with the vacuum sealer. I mostly use it to store meats in the freezer (steak and chicken) and also to seal homemade sauces that I freeze, such as pesto and tomato sauce. I have been really pleased with the product, it keeps things fresh and without freezer burn!

Matty : Great design, quality parts and easy to use.

I received this Vacuum sealer from ICO to test and review. First off this machine is built as well as it looks. Its very modern and sleek and beautifully designed. I love the vertical design so you can insert the bags right in without having to line up the bag and lock down a hinged top. Some of the vacuum sealers out there feel cheap and flimsy but this unit is very solid with quality made parts. It has a very simple and easy to use interface which is touch sensitive. no buttons to push down just lightly touch your finger on the setting which. It does require a little bit of force on the side handles to lock down but its not that bothersome. the two side buttons to release is very easy and solid whereas my other sealer has flimsy buttons to release. As far as features it has just the right amount of functions for sealing with normal/gentle and dry/moist depending on the application, It also has a hose for vacuum sealing canisters which a lot of other sealers don't have. I currently don't have any canisters but its something i plan on getting. You can also seal snacks as well so they don't get stale. It works great sealing a bag of potato chips! One feature i would like to see is a manual vacuum function to ensure it sucks out enough air however every piece of meat or vegetable I have vacuum sealed has worked perfect every time. I hit the button and it sucks just the right amount of air out for a snug fit and automatically seals it. It works very well for sous riding. The bags included are great and its nice to use for sous-viding without worrying about harmful chemicals in plastic like BPA leaching into your food. Perhaps my favorite feature of the unit is the liquid box. I had issues before with blowing a fuse after liquid getting in my other sealer but having this feature you can drain any liquid out put pushing in the box and it slides right out. That feature makes this device worth it alone. Overall I am very impressed with this unit. Its very well built and designed and works perfectly as intended. For the price its better than most of the competitors on the market.

Kindle Customer : Highly Recommend

Very small footprint, great bang for the buck. Highly recommend.

Ham Schirmer : Works great

This works exactly as advertised and a perfect companion for the Sous Vide.

Scott : Incredible seal quality and attractive addition to the kitchen

This is a fantastic sealer in a lot of different ways. It takes up very little space on the counter, pretty much flush with the wall, so it's easy to keep out all the time without it getting in the way. It's very easy to use, although snapping the locks into place does require some strength. Just slip the bag in, lock it, and touch the appropriate button.

As for the seal itself, wow...it's amazingly thorough. I bagged up some cheese cubes, and it pulled out so much air that you'd swear the plastic was part of the cheese now. The ease of use is comparable to other products, but the quality of the vacuum itself is amazing.

Comfy Foot Fiend : Disappointed

I am sure this is a manufacturing error, but when I seal the bag it leaves a small puncture (round hole) in the seal line on both ends of the bag!! So I seal the bag, and ten minutes later it is full of air! Did so much research on this, so disappointing.

Kindle Customer : Highly Recommend

Very small footprint, great bang for the buck. Highly recommend.

Justin Setchell : I had previously been using a Cuisinart vacuum sealer and while I liked this new product and it has a few features ...

I got this vacuum sealer because it was billed as specifically designed for Sous Vide. I had previously been using a Cuisinart vacuum sealer and while I liked this new product and it has a few features my Cuisinart doesn't (such as moist and gentle settings), I think I will be sticking with my Cuisinart for my primary vacuum sealer.
Over all the product is pretty good though, here is what I like and disliked about it:

Likes:
Looks good, I think the design is sleek and stylish
Small footprint, takes up little counter space
Gentle and moist food settings, for sealing soft foods or food that have been in a marinade
Creates a good strong seal, doesn't feel like it will leak, on my Cuisinart I often do two or three seals as backups
Well constructed, seems solidly made

Dislikes:
Locking handles are too hard to push down, everything I was pushing to the point where I thought they might break before they locked
Can't tell if I'm inserting the bag far enough, I had to stop sealing multiple times and unlock and reinsert the bag when it wasn't sucking out any air. This happened on on more than on occasion.
I wished it pulled a stronger vacuum, obviously it pulls a weaker vacuum on the gentle setting, but even in normal mode, I wish it sucked a little harder, this is the main reason I'll be sticking with my previous vacuum sealer.

Overall it looks good and gets the job done. It has good features but ultimately leave just a little to be desired performance wise.

Vanita Louie : Food bag sealer not good

Used it for the first time. Doesnt seal.

CatfishMuffins : It Sucks

Works great, I use it once a week for meat and have been extremely impressed.

Britterica : I am very happy with how easy it is to use once you ...

This is my first vacuum sealer (model number ICO 031) and I use it to vacuum pack my freezer meals and for breaking down bulk meat orders into manageable portions before freezing. I am very happy with how easy it is to use once you get the hang of when exactly to push the seal button. My first few bags didn’t seal properly but once I figured out the issue I have had zero problems. I definitely will recommend it to my friends. I wish it came with a cheat sheet for what settings to use with different foods.

Rada B. : The bags are thick and seal very well!

Great product and very well made bags- we are enjoying using them.

Em B : Gift

I did not use it myself, it was a gift. They told me it was super and works great. Nothing bad to say about it for now. They got it for Christmas 2018.

Ashiko : Works well, follow the instructions

This has worked well, once I figured out how to use it.

In particular, as the instructions say, the part of the bag being sealed has to be completely dry, with no oil or water or food remnants. It also helps if there is roughly an inch of bag around the food, so that the textured side of the bag has something to grip (otherwise there ends up being a gap of air around the food).

While this isn’t stated in the instructions, I usually also leave the bag locked in the device for about 30-60 seconds after sealing, to give the seal a chance to set.

I froze several chunks of Brie on October 20. Today, five weeks later, I pulled one out. Both the cheese and the vacuumed bag both look exactly the same as they did when I first sealed it.

I was in for a shock the first time I sealed some soft bread. Squished it down to a lump of dough! But switching over to the Gentle mode helped the next time. The instructions recommend freezing wet foods first, and I think the same suggestion might help for soft items like Hawaiian bread or burger buns as well.

I sometimes use compostable zipper bags for storing food instead of plastic bags. After a couple of uses, they start breaking down, usually toward the bottom where the food sits. I used to toss them into the compost bin at that point. But now I cut off the damaged part, and I use the sealer to make a new bottom, basically turning the quart-sized bag into a snack-size bag that I can use one or two more times. (Of course, I don’t vacuum them, since they’re the wrong kind of bag for that.)

Some people have asked whether the vacuum-sealed bags are reusable. I cannot say whether the plastic itself would be unsafe chemically if you reuse and refreeze them multiple times. But I would say that yes, you can reuse them from a mechanical perspective. Just understand that you lose about an inch after cutting away a sealed edge, so they would get shorter each time you reseal them. And the sealing process may be less effective if the textured area is compromised.

Stephanie : Amazing product!!!

Works very well! So happy with this product and highly recommend for the BEST sous vide!!! Have been using it since I got it in 2017. Never fails me!!

Fred Torres : it's a great purchase. It does take quite a bit of ...

Overall, it's a great purchase. It does take quite a bit of pressure to lock down the bag for sealing. Also, the quick reference guide does not display how to unlock the bag, once sealing is completed.

Katherine : Particularly liked the space on the bottom to store the power ...

Disclaimer: I got a code to try this product for free.

I use this for pre-packing sous vide packets. Threw the meat and some spices and herbs in the bag, sealed it up, and when it came time to cook it, I put the entire package in the Anova. Simple to use and works effectively! Makes time-consuming dinners really low-effort to prepare. Particularly liked the space on the bottom to store the power cord, really thoughtful design. It is also pretty sleek and doesn't take up too much space.

Hannah Warren : We have been very pleased with the vacuum sealer
