Questions about GERYON Vacuum Sealer Machine, Automatic Food Sealer for Food Savers w/ Starter Kit|Led Indicator Lights|Easy to Clean|Dry & Moist Food Modes| Compact Design (Silver)
Q:
My sealer doz not lock, i have to hold it down in order to seal it
Answer: At first I thought mine didn't lock as well. With some trepidation I pushed down really hard on both front corners and both sides clicked. I was very surprised at how much force it took. Once I figured that out it has worked perfectly.
Answer: bag cutter? removable drip pan? easy to clean?
Answer: Please contact our customer service directly and we will provide a timely resolution.
Answer: What's your question?
Q:
what is the largest width this model will seal?
Answer: The sealing strip is 11.5 inches wide
Q:
I can’t get anything to seal correctly. How far do I place bag in chamber?
Answer: Open the lid and place the open end of the bag down into the middle of vacuum chamber.
Answer: at least halfway into the chamber. As a rule of thumb, if you can fold the top of the bag downward and it touches the bottom of the chamber it is in deep enough (don't actually fold it over, just use the fold to measure how far in the bag needs to be).
Answer: You have to get the open edge of the bag in the center gap of the gasket. Try not to overfill the bags, they need to be able to lay flat across that sealer strip and gaskets. The center of the gasket is where the suction comes from. Sometimes an extra set of hands pulling on the edges of the bags is needed to keep everything flat and lined up while the other person “clicks” both sides of the top into the bottom. May require a little force.
Answer: I place my bag where it is in the area of the ‘well’ close the top and press both sides until I hear a click on each side. Then press seal. I would say it’s in the machine about an inch to 2 inches.
Answer: Just to seal ypu only need like an inch or so. To do a vacuum seal make sure the open part og the back in actually down inside the vacuum Chambers to the air is sucked out
Q:
Does this vacuum sealer work as well as the FoodSaver ones? Because this is considerably lower in price.
Answer: Make sure you are using vacuum sealer bags with texture on one or both sides; the bags with no texture can only for seal, not for vacuum
Answer: I don't recommend this sealer, I am very sad. I used this one at my local food pantry and thought it worked well. My husband bought it as a gift for me. I used it, froze my meat, and when I went to thaw my meat, I saw that there was air in the package. I did not freeze it that way. It does NOT seal well. :(
Answer: I've never used the brand you mentioned, but I love this one. I use it for my fancy cheese I don't use often and just make the bag longer, then cut at top seal, use what I need and vacuum seal it over again. Cheese lasts forever this way in the fridge! And every vegetable and type of meat I've put in freezer come out perfect. I don't understand all these negative reviews. It's an awesome piece of equipment.
Answer: No it absolutely does not, mine does not even vacuum at all. Only seals. Foodsaver worked for my parents without issue for years and years
Answer: It works great. Not sure if it will last as long as the food saver brand. But the price is right. Definitely built less quality. But haven’t had any issues with it.
Answer: Mine worked only a few times. Now, it only seals a bag. The vacuum doesn’t work. Waste of money.
Answer: Mine worked only a few times. Now, it only seals a bag. The vacuum doesn’t work. Waste of money.
Answer: Never used the Food Saver ones, but I found it easy to use and it did the job. Nothing fancy, no extras just vacuum seal and seal, but that’s all I need.
Answer: I’m suffering buyers remorse that I didn’t spend the extra $ and get the Foodsaver. I’ll check a the stuff that I already sealed in a cpl weeks. If any of it spoiled, I’ll be buying the Foodsaver. When you try to save money, you’ll end up spending more.
Answer: Yes it works fine with my 10 year old Food-saver vacuum bags.
Q:
Can this seal mylar bags?
Answer: Recommend use the vacuum sealer bags with texture on both sides, smooth bags can only be sealed without vacuuming.
Answer: Yes
Answer: It certainly can, but it cannot vacuum any air out of an ordinary mylar bag, as there would be no air channels (provided by the "quilted" texture of most vacuum seal bags) by which to do that.
Answer: Sorry, I don't know. I bought the Geryon bags at a great discount.
Q:
Why did i can not vacuum and seal the bag? is the bag overfilled or other misoperation? I need help
Answer: I had the same problem initially until I discovered that I was not sticking the bag in far enough for the vacuum to seal. Once you learn That little trick you’ll be good as gold.
Answer: I'm new at this, however, I have found out already that if I have too much in the bag, it usually will not vacuum and seal correctly. Hope this helps!
Answer: There is a leak in the bag. Fill the bag with water before trying to vacuum seal to see if there are leaks. The actual seal is probably not working correctly which is what happened to my NutriChef that I just got this past Christmas.
Answer: You need about 3 inches to spare when you are vac-sealing a bag.
Answer: Please contact our Geryon seller customer service and we will help to solve your problem if it is under warranty.Our contact information is in the User Manual.
Answer:
Q:
Does the moist feature simply mean lower vacuum power?
Answer: I tried vac/sealing two chicken breasts tonight. The first I did on Normal/dry. It pulled a good vac. The second I tried on normal/moist.
Answer: Sorry...the latch was broken when I received it so I sent it back... :0l
Q:
The connector for my accessory hose broke after less than three months. can geryon customer service please help me? how can i get a new hose?
Answer: Please contact our Geryon seller customer service and we will help you solve the problem if it is under warranty.
Answer: Contact the manufacturer. You might have to prove when and where you purchased it
Q:
I have read about people using a paper towel but I'm not sure where they put the paper towel. Inside the bag, near the top?
Answer: The paper towel is just to absorb moisture, if necessary. It goes between the food and the seal so that it absorbs the moisture instead of the moisture getting sucked into the machine. Just fold a paper towel into a 1 inch strip and place it inside the bag below the seal line.
Answer: I'm not sure why you would be using a paper towel or for what you would need one for. I just use the bags, and there is a trick to using regular freezer bags. You can cut off the zipper part and insert a straw and that will work.
Answer: Yes, inside the bag and near the top
Q:
Can I use this to vacuum seal cooked rice if so what is the best way to store and to reheat ?
Answer: I freeze just about anything with this machine. When it is time to heat the cooked food I sealed, I boil a large pot of water and heat it in the bag. A few times I've had to use the microwave after opening it but still worth it.
Answer: Yes, but I purchased another machine because this machine did t have a strong enough vacuum.
Q:
where was this made?
Answer: Deal breaker; time to look for something else...
Answer: This product was made in China
Answer: China
Q:
Does this work with food saver brand bags
Answer: Bags one uses must have at least one side textured. Two side textured may be better and we advise you to use the bags of our brand.
Answer: does this work with any brand of bag
Answer: I have not purchased new bags as it came with some. But they look and feel the exact same so I would imagineer. You can reseal anything that will melt, even chip bags
Answer: Yes. Probably any brand.
Answer: Yes it will work fine.
Answer: Yes,as long as it has that diamond like pattern.
Answer: Yes, it should
Answer: Yes it will.
Q:
The canister function does not seem to be working. I believe I am connecting it properly but it does not create a vacuum. Any suggestions?
Answer: Make sure keep the machine's lid locked when vacuum seal a canister
Q:
How much warranty does it come with
Answer: We offer one year warranty, if you have any questions, please contact our Geryon seller customer service and we will help to solve your problem.
Answer: Not sure about warranty but it is not well made. Nor does it work very well.
Q:
can i store this vertically when not in use?
Answer: I don’t see why one can’t. It is just another machine. I’d make sure that it stays closed though. I keep mine in the original box that is on edge.
Answer: Of course you can, but do not press and lock the lid since the pressure can cause deformation of gasket, which may cause the machine can not vacuum seal properly.
Answer: It should not be a problem as long as the lid is latched.
Answer: Yes,,, need to keep the cardboard inbetween the 2 halves..
Answer: I don’t see why not.
Answer: That should be okay.
Q:
Can crackers, rice & bagels be vac sealed
Answer: I’ve vacuum sealed rice for the shelf and breads for the freezer. They last so much longer. It does tend to squish the bread a bit though.
Answer: You can use the "moist" setting and the crackers will still crumble, but the rice and bagels will survive, would be great for extended camping/hiking/boon docking trips.
Answer: I freeze the bread before I vacuum seal it. No more squished bread.
Q:
Does the Geryon vacuum sealer work with the foodsaver wide-mouth jar sealer
Answer: I can’t get it to work. I bought this for that reason. The hose attachments look like they are the same size but they are not interchangeable…at least that is my experience.
Q:
Whats the best bags and rolls to use with these?
Answer: Geryon Bags and rolls will be the best to use with the machine. But as long as it is the vacuum sealer bags with texture on both sides. Less than 12 inch wide bag will be fine.
Answer: Any brand of bags will work as long as they aren’t too wide. I use rolls as it is easier to adjust the size based on how much you ate vacuum packing.
Answer: I just received the vacuum sealer as a Christmas gift and haven’t used all the bags and roll that came with the sealer. As such, I don’t know what brand of bags to recommend.
Q:
What bags will the geryon work with?
Answer: I had a food saver which broke. I have lots of bags left from it and I used those bags they worked fine. I also have a will zip lock sealer bags that will work.
Answer: Less than 11.5 inch wide and you'd better use the bags with texture on both sides to got a better result.
Answer: Most, as long as 1 side is textured..
Q:
does this come with bags or a roll of plastic?
Answer: Package Contents
Answer: Mine came with both. I don’t recall how many bags or how long the roll is, but it does come with both.
Answer: It comes with both bags (5 I think) and a roll of plastic that you can create bags of any size you want.
Answer: Mine came with 2 rolls to make bags and 10 premade bags.
Q:
how many consecutive seal bags you can do
Answer: I've sealed 10+ in a row. No problem. Just be cautious when you're vacuum sealing wet meats like fresh steak. If it pulls too much moisture from the meat, it won't seal properly. Partially freezing meat helps get a better seal. Patting meat dry before vacuum sealing helps too. Otherwise, you'll just have to leave more room between meat and the open end of the bag to give the moisture room to go without entering the vacuum chamber.
Answer: Well I did 6 in a row then the entire device failed.
Q:
How to properly store cooled u it after use, on end or flat (as if was in use). Manual is confusing on the matter. Thank you.
Answer: I store it flat, don't know if it really matters
Answer: I didn't consider this much so I wait for it to cool, which it does quickly, then I wrap the cord around it and put it on the microwave till I need it again
Answer: flat
Q:
what canisters work with geryon machines
Answer: Here is the link of Geryon Vacuum canister:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088PX2Y6C?ref=myi_title_dp
Answer: It looks like the GERYON containers are no longer being made. People on this Q&A page have been asking about this since 2018. If you want to vacuum something in a container I suggest you get another product.
Answer: I had to buy a new machine as this machine is really poor quality and was not compatible with anything
Q:
Does this seal all or most plastic bags?
Answer: yes, it can seal most of the vacuum bags but I don't recommend this Geryon vacuum sealer machine. the quality is cheap and it couldnt remove air after about 20 times. I refund it right away.
Answer: As long as it is the vacuum sealer bags with texture on one or both sides. Less than 12 inch wide bag will be fine. We believe our bags may suit the machine the best.
Answer: I have not tried it on bags other than what is recommended. I dont think it would be a good idea to try anything other than what is recommended as it may damage the sealer
Answer: I have used it on bags that were previously heat sealed, like frozen veggie bags and potato chip bags, as well as vacuum seal bags
Answer: It is recommended for food saver type bags only..
Answer: I have only used the bags it came with. Not sure, but I would think they are all the same.
Q:
Can it seal 11 inch wide bags?
Answer: Less than 12 inch wide bag will be fine.
Answer: Probably not. I use 8" bags and they work fine. The vacuum seal area is exactly 12" wide. I think that you would want a little more leeway side to side. But, hey give it a shot.
Answer: It seals upto 12inch
Answer: yup 8 in. and 11 in.
Answer: Yes, when it works.

Does it make a nice wide "seal"? My first one was really narrow and I often lost vacuum.

Q:
Can I Use This For Spinach?
Answer: Wiki - Spinach typically becomes soft and mushy after you freeze it, but since it retains its nutrients and taste, frozen spinach can be great when added to smoothies and cooked dishes. Blanching spinach allows it to remain edible for longer periods, but you can also freeze unblanched spinach. Consider freezing pureed spinach if you wish to use it exclusively for liquid dishes later on.
Answer: Yes but wil crush them. Use pulse or wet mode.
Answer: I don’t know why not!

Product reviews of GERYON Vacuum Sealer Machine, Automatic Food Sealer for Food Savers w/ Starter Kit|Led Indicator Lights|Easy to Clean|Dry & Moist Food Modes| Compact Design (Silver)
Jade : Light, compact, good suction, easy to use
I’ve been using this vacuum sealer every weekend for the past month. I have used it to vacuum seal portioned size meat and vegetable when I meal prep for the week. I also freeze soup/broth in the 1 cup molds then vacuum seal each block to store in the freezer. The vacuum sealed bags are easy to store and takes up less room than containers in the freezer. The frozen food does not have freezer burn. My freezer has a lot more room now and everything is nicely organize since all the food is vacuum sealed and labeled. I like that you can take it apart and wash the bottom piece where the liquid collects. Just need to be careful not to touch the hot strip on the top piece when you lift to open. This vacuum sealer does not have a pulse button, however, there are settings for wet/dry and normal/gentle. The other buttons are vac/seal or seal only and stop. The buttons are touch sensitive so sometimes I do accidentally activate the machine. The machine is light and compact. Easy to store and does not take up a lot of room. It does not have a bag storage compartment or a built-in bag cutter. The roll I usually buy would be too big to fit into the storage compartment anyway. The vacuum sealer machine works as described.
J.N. DiPietri, P.E. : Cumbersome to use
The lid portion of this unit is much heavier than the base, which sits on the cabinet. This makes the unit hard to use. Add to that the tendency for the heavy lid to come separated from the base, and the hair trigger controls made this a waste of money. Into the trash it went after 5 or 6 attempts to vacuum and seal.
Rodney Cook : Simple and effective
I was not expecting much for the cost and was pleasantly surprised. Now, I have only had this for a day yet used the unit to vacuum seal a few dozen bags of chicken and this thing worked through it all like a champ. It is a very simple unit, which I found ideal. Does the job it is made for and at this price it is well worth while.
William F. : Great Value fore the beginner
I went to a store to look at vacuum sealers and was amazed at how much they want for the brand name sealers. I ordered a cheaper unit from Amazon. The delivery was fast as the sealer arrived the next day. When I opened the box I was surprised how well it looked. However, I had never seen a sealer before that you could spin on a marble countertop. As I was looking at the unit discovered that the bottom was warped so much I could use this a spinner. I contacted Amazon return and had a replacement sent. The next morning I returned the defective unit via the agreed procedure and received the replacement unit later that day. WOW! what speedy service.
I put the new GERYON Vacuum Sealer to work to see what it does. With the expectation that a clone deice may not work like a Food Saver product I put the GERYON to the test. This unit for the price is pretty well built and the buttons are touch sensitive and very responsive. The included sealer bags are enough to get you started which is a nice feature to help get acquainted with the sealing processes. My first few bags did not seal properly until I inset the bags farther into the unit. Once I got the hang of how things work the process was easier and quick. The vacuum air levels are sufficient for my needs at this point and have not presented an issue for me.
If you are uncertain as to what to do if you are looking for a Vacuum Sealer as a beginner definitely give this once a try as everything you need is in the box ready to go. You simply cannot afford to not give this a try as you do get a lot of bang for the buck in the box.
Preston : Saw this in a lot of top lists on google. I’m thinking they were paid.
This thing does not work that great. It does not seal the bag all the way. It leaves some gaps, and the suction does not get all the air.
I used as instructed exactly as the manual states.
I read the positive, and negative reviews. I also searched online, and this particular brand and item were in the top 10 results. Well I may just have gotten a bad one. It happens, but it turned me away. I did give it 5 stars for how extremely it easy it is to use.
Amazon Customer : Amazon shipped used item with food debris and mold on it
I would like to be able to review the item however, it was shipped in a used condition dirty on both the inside and outside of the unit. The interior had food debris and the exterior of the unit was dirty and had surface mold. Not only did it arrive used and dirty, only the vacuum seal unit was shipped and not the starter kit which was to include the vacuum hose and sealing bags to use with the unit. There was also no manual included with the unit. The box was damaged and had clearly been shipped previously as prior labels had been cut off the box leaving holes in it. I managed to contact a live person at Amazon which was difficult at best and I was offered a refund but they would not replace the unit. The order had been fulfilled by Amazon and the item was still available but Amazon declined to ship a replacement as had been advertised. I only bought this because I had a trial of Amazon Prime and it was a warehouse deal which in no way was described as previously used or incomplete. The Prime membership won't be kept past the trial period and I'll do my best to go back to shopping locally after I use up the Amazon credit was was given in lieu of a refund.
Bobb : Sucks that it doesn't suck consistantly!
Bought it to replace a Foodsaver that just wore out after many years. With good reviews I thought that I'm saving half the cost of a new Foodsaver. The first bag seemed ok but for a second and third bag it made the vacuuming noise but there was no vacuum. In frustration I let it sit for a while and tried it again. As before the first bag seemed ok, but the next ones no vacuum again. I just completed the return screens and I also ordered a new Foodsaver with one day shipping.
D.Osten : Vacuum not so good
Seals nicely - vacuum not so much. Bought with high hopes and found that it DID seal on initial attempt but after several tries never did get a vacuum even though there was the noise that would suggest it was trying
Diane Fraser : Not it
Poor design. The top part is heavier than the bottom, so when you flip it up after a vacuum seal, it slams backwards. The suction power is really poor so you have to attempt to push as much air out as you can before sealing. The only thing that this device does well is sealing, but if you have to allow time for it to cool between bags so it doesn’t over heat and melt your bags.
Anonymous1 : Works really well!
This is pretty easy to use. It took a couple of tries to get the correct bag size ( I bought the roll where you cut your own size bag) but once I figured this out it was a breeze. I had several items of beef and chicken in the freezer that were probably going to get freezer burn so I re-packaged them using the vacuum sealer. I would recommend this product as it is lower in cost that the more expensive "brand" sealer but works just as well. FYI...these sealers are good for meat and vegetables but you really can't use them on breads or baked goods. Even though there is a "soft" setting for this..it just flattens them.
Cindy Mccroskey : Efficient sturdy machine
This sealer is far quieter than my previous Seal A Meal food saver. Also the GERYON Vacuum Sealer allows me to seal the bag a bit farther from the edge of the bagging material which I really like. My old Seal A Meal machine sealed very close to the edge of the bagging material and I often had to do another seal to assure air tight closure.
Ron Faust : Effective !!
Just got mine yesterday after my 5 year old name brand sealer died . I was a little hesitant due to the price being so cheap. But , decided to give it a shot, as Ive used Geryon bags prior and liked them. Tried it out right away , seals nice and tight !! The only negative is you do have to push down on both front corners pretty hard to close it . The drip tray is wide enough to clean it with a sanitizing cleaner cloth . So far so good !! It is also small enough to travel with you and perfect to seal fresh caught fish after a fishing trip .
Kelley AC Garcia : I never knew what I was missing!
I am new to this whole vacuumed sealer thing but I'm hooked!! My work just eased travel restrictions but I have to drive and I have to eat in my hotel room. Over been hauling a huge cooler with ice and containers of food. This Geryon Vacuum Sealer allowed me to seal the week's meals then freeze them. I only need a small cooler now and don't need dishes because I can microwave the meal in the bag. It is super simple to operate. I love it!
William F. : Great Value fore the beginner
I went to a store to look at vacuum sealers and was amazed at how much they want for the brand name sealers. I ordered a cheaper unit from Amazon. The delivery was fast as the sealer arrived the next day. When I opened the box I was surprised how well it looked. However, I had never seen a sealer before that you could spin on a marble countertop. As I was looking at the unit discovered that the bottom was warped so much I could use this a spinner. I contacted Amazon return and had a replacement sent. The next morning I returned the defective unit via the agreed procedure and received the replacement unit later that day. WOW! what speedy service.
I put the new GERYON Vacuum Sealer to work to see what it does. With the expectation that a clone deice may not work like a Food Saver product I put the GERYON to the test. This unit for the price is pretty well built and the buttons are touch sensitive and very responsive. The included sealer bags are enough to get you started which is a nice feature to help get acquainted with the sealing processes. My first few bags did not seal properly until I inset the bags farther into the unit. Once I got the hang of how things work the process was easier and quick. The vacuum air levels are sufficient for my needs at this point and have not presented an issue for me.
If you are uncertain as to what to do if you are looking for a Vacuum Sealer as a beginner definitely give this once a try as everything you need is in the box ready to go. You simply cannot afford to not give this a try as you do get a lot of bang for the buck in the box.
pvp : Worked great for about 6 months UPSATE defective unit was replaced in one
Easy to use, good suction, worked great for about 6 months. It then started sealing the bag before the suction was complete sometimes before the suction started UPDATE Unit was quickly replaced with a new one. Customer service fast with easy communications
KC : Not recommended ..Does not work
Don’t waste your money or time This was a replacement as the original one did not work.. noted that is was a used one but replaced with a used one.. neither worked... Neither would vacuum seal
taylor : Small learning curve.
I messed up quite a few times when I first started using this product. Particularly the sealing part. I ended up pressing the "seal" button before the "vac seal" button quite a number of times. This melts the bag shut, but doesn't vacuum out the air. I know, I'm a dummy and can't read instructions. If I would change anything, I would move the "vac seal" button to the end of the row of buttons and make it stand out more. That being said, once I got used to it I love the thing. It performs well and doesn't break the bank.
MJ South Dakota : So Far So Good
Bought this sealer to replace my FoodSaver that was giving me issues sealing. Less expensive and it’s doing it’s job perfectly. If you’re not too picky about only getting FoodSaver try this one it’s affordable.
karen : Works great. Great value.
Great customer service from the company. Vacuum seal worked only once. Seals only. No Vacuum suction. Had someone else try it in case I was doing it incorrectly but didn't vacuum seal for them either. Contacted the company and they were quick to resolve the problem and sent me a new one which works great! Great value.
Omar Delawar : Terrible Vacuum sealer that stopped working after a couple months of use
This thing failed 3 months after I purchased it. Beware the seller is paying people and giving buyers discounts for positive reviews. Do not believe the reviews! This thing is flimsy, doesn't vacuum seal properly and 3 months later it completely stopped vacuuming. Only the seal function works but what am I going to do with that? I had forgotten about the old saying: "You get what you paid for". I will be looking for a better quality model. Save your $40 bucks and buy a vacuum sealer that actually works!

Raymond O'Connor : Very impressed.
Started using it immediately. Very nice, simple to use although the buttons are feature rich so if you expect a simple single push button interface, you will have to look at it a bit closer. For most uses, it is a single button use. Does great and I am very happy. Also it is much faster than the mold one.

kathy kolodge : Try another sealer
I did not have success with this product. It’s user friendly, easy to read instructions. It worked the first few times then had no suction. I also noticed that the seal didn’t hold as meat had ice on it and air was in the bag. I contacted support who requested that I send a video demonstrating. After another conversation they refunded my purchase. Thank you
Chris : Didn't work right out of the box.
These appliances are probably mass produced and so there will be some that are "lemons". This one fits that label. I tried numerous times and different approaches but I couldn't get the vacuum sealer to work on either mason jars or on vacuum sealing bags. Other buyers may get one that works well and if so it would be worth the money. I returned mine and bought a Potane sealer. It is about twice the price but it works like it is supposed to and for that the price was worth it.
joshuatrees : Glad I got it for husband, if you want reasonable and Sleek
It works !! and I did a lot of reading and contemplating. I am so glad I went with this. We don't use it everyday so I can not attest to heavy usage. So far, once he did a oops on one bag he got his homemade jerky well taken care of. Haven't tried it on our bulk purchases chicken purchases and I will update.

Noneya : Great Customer Service After Issue.
Update: The company emailed me directly and sent me a new machine free of charge and seems to be working fine now. Didn't have to send the broken one back and mess with all the shipping. Seals appear to be holding now and I have sealed several items. Great customer support!
Seals do not seem to hold. I packaged multiple items and when I went back to look in my freezer, the seal failed on a couple of them.
Also, it doesn't seem to really suck all the air out. It sucks most of it out, but say a pot roast for example, there will still be pockets of air; defeating the purpose of the machine.
It's easy to use and clean, but I would say it's good for short term storage or sous-vide cooking. Just not reliable for long term storage in my opinion.
BA : UPDATED REVIEW. (Works just as good as the Big Name brand)
"UPDATE" After recently using this sealer more often, I'm pitching it and returning to the name brand, tried and true sealer. Even with the name brand bags, this sealer doesn't always ensure a complete seal. I have added 2-3 spaced seals on some bags hoping one of them will hold.
I've used "The" name-brand vacuum sealer for at least 20 years and mine finally kicked the bucket. I took a chance on a lesser-known brand, at a fraction of the price, and have been extremely happy with it so far. It functions just as efficiently and takes up less space. It may not last as long due to quality, but I don't use as often as I did in the past, so time will tell.
Honey May : Not the best vaccum sealer but it gets the job done
I bought this machine as an alternative to using my FoodSaver and it does what it’s supposed to do. It’s not as great, took some time to learn how to get the machine working the way it should. There are couple of times it doesn’t suck all the air out but it’s not too much of an issue to me since I am using it only for short term storage like use the meat or vegetables within the week. The price is good and product sturdy. I’m looking forward to using more of it in the future. Highly recommend to those on a budget looking for a product that works but cost way less than the name brand.

Joyce G : I returned this item
I bought this item based on a recommendation of a friend. I found the suction was not good, and air leaked into each bag making the product useless. I returned it
Cheri : Not enough vacuum
After reading reviews I decided against name brand and chose this more economical unit. I am somewhat disappointed. On frozen foods ( Ribeye, beef patties etc) I would rate it a 4. There is still a little bit of air left in the bag. But for fresh meats, the main reason I bought it, I would give it no more than a 3. There is still quite a bit of air that does not get vacuumed out. So to make this most useful to me I will have to freeze my meats then vacuum seal. That’s not a time saver.
Shae : Seals Chip bags, more suction from name brands, worth it for us
Although it works, it does not have the power of the name brands. For the price, it was worth it. However if you plan on doing large bags and desire a little more oomf, spend a little more for a name brand. For us, it works, helps keep our food fresh a little longer. Also found that you can use the seal function to reseal potato chip bags. That alone makes it worth the price, with teenagers in the house, chips go stale as they never clip the bags. Now, they just set the bag in, secure it, make sure you hear the clicks, and seal.
Barbara R : Good results
Bought for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She didn’t get to use it until July when I was visiting. We were pleasantly pleased at how easily and efficiently it worked. We sealed about 20 items. I'm hoping it continues to work since there are some concerning reviews. I took a chance and ordered one for myself. It came today. So far, I am satisfied with the sealer.
Jeannie P. : ????
. Bought June 7, 2021. When I received my first vacuum sealer from Geryon, it didn't vacuum. After contacting Amazon, the machine was replaced. The replacement worked just fine. I am glad to have dealt with a company with integrity. Geryon made sure I was satisfied with their product, either by replacement or refund.

The Don : Poor suction and incomplete seal
Suction power was mediocre at best. Fair amount of air space left...certainly not what would be considered a vacuum. Also, the seal on the bag was not complete at each edge which resulted in my sous vide lamb to have the consistency of rawhide. I wonder if all the positive feedback on this system is because they give you free bags if you give them a positive review. My experience with it was an epic failure.
J.N. DiPietri, P.E. : Cumbersome to use
The lid portion of this unit is much heavier than the base, which sits on the cabinet. This makes the unit hard to use. Add to that the tendency for the heavy lid to come separated from the base, and the hair trigger controls made this a waste of money. Into the trash it went after 5 or 6 attempts to vacuum and seal.

Lluau : Easy to Operate and Efficient
I received the Geryon sealer yesterday and put it to work today sealing some chicken cutlets. It worked like a charm. I like the fact that you can use bag rolls instead of relying on precut bags. This way you can customize the size you need and eliminate some waste. Some people complained about a lack of cutter, but I had a Fiskar paper cutter on hand and it did a nice job cutting a straight clean line. The vacuum, time it took to seal and features of this sealer are great. Easy to break down larger packages of meat into smaller portions for two and pop them into the freezer instead of wrestling with foil and zip lock bags.

Brianne Beatty : Seals great
I love this unit. Took it to the next level .. Sealed an Amazon bubble envelope I repurposed to be smaller. So far I've sealed dry goods, and wet goods. No issues at all.
Highly recommended. Small enough to store away in a drawer. I put sticky command hooks on mine and hang it under my cabinet.
Grizz747 : Compact, affordable and most important it works great.
I replaced a food saver with this unit. It is smaller, lighter and operates much better. I like the different modes of operation along with the quietness of this unit. I can't wait to use it on fish this summer and try the moist mode. I looked a a couple of others and I am glad I chose Geryon! A definite recommend to anyone looking for a new unit.
G-Man : Frustrating and Disappointing
This product is flimsy, poorly constructed, finicky and an all around pain to use. I have had this product in use from March 2022, used on multiple occasions, on a variety of food products. There is no area where this vacuum sealer even manages to do a reasonable job. No doubt there are a host of other vacuum sealers made by the same manufacturer and marketed under a variety of names. Also becoming very disappointed in Amazon reviews they are less and less reliable .

Mr. Todd : No more freezer burn!
I recently replaced my lousy chest style freezer with a beautiful upright model. This put me in the mood for buying meats in bulk, but I don’t care to deal with freezer burn and ruined meals. I bought this vacuum sealer, played with the included bags to familiarize myself with its operation, then picked up large rolls of bags on my next trip to the grocery store. I am absolutely loving this device. We’ve frozen meats, freshly harvested vegetables, even strawberries. It’s also great for cooking sous vide. I have discovered the merits of resealing chip, cracker, and cookie bags. I have also started putting my Parmesan and Romano cheese wedges in vacuum bags to keep them from turning rock hard. If you initially make your bag oversized, you can cut it open, use the product, put it back in the bag, vacuum and seal it multiple times. I do not yet own storage containers with a vacuum port on top, so I can’t attest to the external vacuum port feature. I plugged the hose in and felt vacuum, so I’m sure it works wonderfully.
jmac61 : Disapointed with the quality of the sealing
I have never had a vacuum sealer. I make a bit of homemade cheese and wanted to start vacuum sealing instead of messy wax. That is why I bought this. I have had it a couple weeks and have done about 12 vacuum sealing. A couple did not work so good, but I will call that user error. This unit was very affordable and price is an important issue to me. So I am satisfied.
Updated one month later. I was really dissatisfied with about half of the items that I had earlier vacuumed sealed. Many had lost their airtightness. I had to by a different sealer to re-seal those items.
Sandra M : Dis-satisfied customer
First of all I have had a vacuum sealer before so I know what to expect or at least what I want. The machine is very noisy and the suction is not very good. Bought it because it was less bulky then my old one. I am very disappointed. I would have returned but had passed the return date.
