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.

Hi, mine just Stopped vacuuming out of the blue! The last few times before that it started to rumble. Anyone have that problem? 14 months!

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)
angie w. : Fantastic appliance!
Purchased the geryon vacuum sealer in June 2020. I chose this brand of Geryon based on high reviews. This is the first vacuum sealer I've ever owned. Super simple to use with great directions. A guide is included to educate you as to which settings to use when vacuum sealing your foods. I've used this machine so many times already and we absolutely love it! So far we've put up vegetables from our garden to enjoy throughout the winter season and I love it for extending the life of produce from lettuce, tomatoes to berries. Also great for keeping chips and crackers fresh. Great product, and I'll always have one in my home from now on.
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.
Amazon Customer : One of the best companies who stand behind their product.
I've tried a variety of methods to vacuum seal several different items which had little or no suction. Itll work on the Tupperware fine but not with the bags. After the company contacted me they sent a new one. I've vacuum sealed fruits, veggies, and dehydrated strawberries with no issues whatsoever. Definitely recommend!
Kathleen L. Waycaster : Great Little Machine
I gave this four stars instead of five because sometimes when you flip the lid up to put in a bag the canister button goes on and it starts sucking before you even snap it down on the bag. So you have to turn that off before you suck up your bag. Other than that, nice machine, quick, vacuums all the air out and seals nicely. Small footprint on the counter so you can leave it out all the time. Very happy with it.
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.
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.
Amazon Customer : Unit Sealer (hot strip) melted part of the bag seal. Greyon replaced the Defective Part.
Vacuum Sealing takes multiple attempts. Placing the bag in vacuum trough is fussy. Perhaps it is the bags I am using or the imprecise cut on that end.
After about 100 seals the heater for the seal developed a hot spot and the bag seals leaked. To their credit, Geryon Customer Service promptly replaced the Defective Part. At the price point this unit will allow you to vacuum seal your meals and snacks. I'm going to shop for a more durable and reliable unit; probably a chamber unit which will come at much higher price.
Kevin Miles : Quiet running machine
Bought this product to seal meats when I buy in bulk quantity. Product came quickly through Amazon. Product came with five ready to use sealed bags and a roll that you could custom make. Tried putting multiple pieces of meat in one bag did not seal .. went ahead and individually bagged meats did I fine job. Would recommend for the people that don't need to use too often.
Kim : Works great
I've had it for a month now and have used it quite a bit. I like that it gives you the options of either moist or dry and gentle or normal with suction and sealing. It works as it should so far. The seal is excellent. The removal bottom half makes cleaning easy. The only thing I don't like is it's too easy to accidently touch the canister function when opening/closing the top half.
Tina H. : Nice
Bought it for a back up and decided to test it out before the return window closed. Well now our old one is the back up. This one worked so well and easy. May just order another for the backup they get used alot with hunting season coming up
Amazon Customer : Unit Sealer (hot strip) melted part of the bag seal. Greyon replaced the Defective Part.
Vacuum Sealing takes multiple attempts. Placing the bag in vacuum trough is fussy. Perhaps it is the bags I am using or the imprecise cut on that end.
After about 100 seals the heater for the seal developed a hot spot and the bag seals leaked. To their credit, Geryon Customer Service promptly replaced the Defective Part. At the price point this unit will allow you to vacuum seal your meals and snacks. I'm going to shop for a more durable and reliable unit; probably a chamber unit which will come at much higher price.
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.
Justin : It sucked...
Did not hold a seal. Item was returned.
Update- Geryon contacted me due to my negative review to try to offer me a free replacement or free vacuum bags.After stringing me along through numerous emails I finally had to decline their false offer to turn my negative experience into any thing but a continued negative experience. You have already failed in offering a defective product, I did not need nor want to know that your customer support is held to the same low standard.
Linda : Great product
I received my item a few days ago and have used it about 4 times already. I love it!!!! This is my 3rd seal a mealer in about 30 years. This one is faster to suction and seal then my last one and very easy to use. Once your meat is sealed it will last about 6months to a year in the freezer. This item is well worth the money.
rwspangler : Dont bother... doesn't even qualify as a toy
Suction power and ability to align the bags is terrible. The unit is so light and flimsy it hinders the process even more. Also, the buttons are so touchy they are activated while wrestling with the alignment for sealing. Having used other types of sealers, this one doesn't even rate the name.
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.
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.
Dan h : Great for sous vide
I was using freezer storage bags for the longest time for my sous vide but always had mixed results. Finally plunged and got one of these vacuum sealers. My first steak came out much juicier with less fluid leaking out. I like how this came with bags and everything to get started without having to buy anything else.
Josh D : Right out of the box perfection.
I have never used a vacuum sealer before but I have always wanted one, after reading positive reviews on this unit I decided I would purchase one. I took it out of the box and within 30 seconds I was already sealing my first bag of chicken and it went flawlessly. I purchased 2 rolls of plastic to use and I think I will use it all today :) Great product!

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.

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.
John C. : Happy
Love it. It works. That all I wanted. Followed the little instructions on the front sticker on the unit. Easy. Only think I would add is that the placement of the food makes a difference when sucking out the air. In the picture, the Cobia on top I placed sideways and it still had air trapped. But then going forward I switched the fish placement (black fin on bottom of pic) to long ways and the air was sucked out. Great price. Happy so far.
Dustin S : Don't let the price fool you. Worth just as much as the expensive big name brand.
I was gifted a cheap food sealer and it worked ok, but the most common problem I had was that it didn't completely seal things. I could deal with this when I was freezing things, but when I would move something from the freezer to the fridge to thaw, I would end up with a puddle of liquid and that could be, chicken, pork, or steak juice. That was enough to make me start looking around and I'm so glad I did. Sealing my meats is not an issue with this food sealer. I'm no longer worried about cleaning up nasty puddles after I thaw something out. The Geyron food sealer is worth every penny. It's simple to use and includes instructions to help newbies understand where the bags need to be placed to seal properly. I'm looking forward to using this whenever I can. Buy with confidence.
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.
loni : DEFECTIVE! DONT BOTHER GETTING IT.
The product is defective! It just randomly runs on its own without me touching it an every time I hit the stop button it does nothing. I tried to seal an vacuum seal my meat but the system never shuts off even after unplugging it, plugging back in it starts all over again just running non stop! Very unhappy with my order. I have a ton of meat in my fridge I need to seal before it goes bad and now I need to buy another one quick!
Canadianinamerica : Customer service great, product not so much.
Very unhappy with this product. It worked 3 times and then would not actually vacuum properly again. When I complained their customer service was excellent. Their product for me is the one star but their customer service is a five star. I just decided to go with a different brand.
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!
Giacomo : Loved it to death. No, really.
Wanted to love it. Compact size. Very quiet in comparison to the Foodsaver that died after 4 years of significant use. The little guy was pretty powerful too. I wanted to love it.... and I did... right up until the third day, when it died. Would you like to know anything else? Nah.
A. Lineberger : Vacuum stops
For the first few times, this unit worked quite well. The design is nice in that the vacuum trough is low so you don't need to waste bag length to reach it. Initially, the vacuum power was great.
After vacuuming 5-6 bags, the vacuum failed for good. Don't waste your money!
The company sent a replacement unit that works much better. Thanks
Gretchen : Buy the OG food saver
It was good at first, but after that first time it sucked! It’s super hard to get a vacuum seal on any meat/chicken. We followed the troubleshooting and nothing worked. Every now and then we’d get lucky and it will vacuum out the air but you have to press down hard. We’ve had it for about 3mo. I wish I could get my money back and spend a little more on user-friendly machine that WORKS.
Ray F : VERY UNSAFE!!
This product is very unsafe! Look closely at the picture and you'll see that the vacuum indicator light is on while the unit is open. You can also turn on the sealing bar while it's open. How do I know? I started to close it and apparently touched the seal button and my thumb touched the heating element and gave me a nice little burn. There is no sound built into that button so you don't know if you touch it. DO NOT BUY THIS!!
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.

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.
Ray : Save your money and get something else!
Description indicates this fits up to 12" width bags but doesn't vacuum or seal these mylar bags. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MDWJL5R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

VMS : First ever vacuum sealer
Great inexpensive vacuum sealer that has a learning curve. Thanks to online discussions and my son's help) I have figured it out. Maybe the "how to" instructions need to be updated with some of the online information to make it easier to use? I wasted a lot of plastic trying to make it work in the beginning.
angie w. : Fantastic appliance!
Purchased the geryon vacuum sealer in June 2020. I chose this brand of Geryon based on high reviews. This is the first vacuum sealer I've ever owned. Super simple to use with great directions. A guide is included to educate you as to which settings to use when vacuum sealing your foods. I've used this machine so many times already and we absolutely love it! So far we've put up vegetables from our garden to enjoy throughout the winter season and I love it for extending the life of produce from lettuce, tomatoes to berries. Also great for keeping chips and crackers fresh. Great product, and I'll always have one in my home from now on.
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

Zeke : You have to spend money to save money. Avoid buying a cheap vacuum sealer.
It quit working after the third bag. I sent it back for a refund. It had very little suction and the third bag that it sealed, did not seal at all apparently. when I pulled the bag out of the freezer it had air in the bag and when I put it in the freezer 2 days prior, the bag had no air at all. Just buy a Food Saver brand vacuum sealer and avoid the let down altogether.

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.
Tulu : Just Okay
This machine is very basic, no roll holder or cutter and it only takes their own brand of bags. It’s inexpensive and basically works. You will have to freeze wet foods, like salmon I was trying to vacuum and seal. Per the manufacture one must freeze wet food for a couple of hours for the vacuum to be effective. That trick really works as I had a beautiful vacuum, miles better than pat-drying the fish before vac/seal. The instructions also tell you to do the vac/seal a couple times to warm up the machine but I had to try a few times before I got an ok vac/seal. So if you don’t mind a few extra steps as a trade off for the price it may work for you. I did buy another brand, with a few conveniences , which was reflected in the increase $$$
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.
Kathleen L. Waycaster : Great Little Machine
I gave this four stars instead of five because sometimes when you flip the lid up to put in a bag the canister button goes on and it starts sucking before you even snap it down on the bag. So you have to turn that off before you suck up your bag. Other than that, nice machine, quick, vacuums all the air out and seals nicely. Small footprint on the counter so you can leave it out all the time. Very happy with it.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
