Questions about GERYON Vacuum Sealer, Automatic Compact Food Sealer Machine with Starter Bags & Roll, Hose for Food Savers and Sous Vide
Q:
are the bags bpa free?
Answer: Non of our Geryon bags, canisters, or marinators contain BPA. They are all BPA free!
Answer: yes, but have not used it yet.
Q:
Can I open a sealed bag and take out a portion and reseal the rest?
Answer: I always cut my bags extra long at the get go, so I can reseal the bag. Just make sure that the bag is clean in the area that your going to reseal. No grease, oils or food.
Answer: Yes, but you will have to leave enough of the bag to place under the sealer..
Answer: I have been wondering the same thing.
Answer: Make sure leave at least 2.5 inches between contents and the top of the bag to allow for bag contraction.
Q:
am I understanding this right, the roll of bag's have to be cut to size then sealed on the sides and bottom before placing the food in it ?
Answer: The bags on the roll do have to be cut to size (leaving enough on each end for proper sealing), but I never had to seal the sides - the bags are like a sleeve. You first seal one end using the "seal" button, add the food or item, and then use the seal/vacuum button to seal the other end. When the vacuum is finished the seal/vacuum light goes out, the seal light stays on for a few seconds while it seals, and when it goes out, you're done. (I'm having fun with this...) I hope this helps.
Answer: No, the sides are sealed, you just cut size you need, seal one of the open ends on Seal only. Then put your vegetables in and VacSeal the open end. works great, and you can make any size you need. You can actually even cut down the midle to make small size bags, but then you have 3 sides to seal.

Answer: yes it does
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can I manually seal the bag while the machine is vacuuming the food in case it doesn't have a good seal but I'm okay with the vacuum?
Answer: You can manually seal after vacuum. Wet items need to be done manually, because the automatic default will start sucking out fluids after the air is removed. When sealing wet items allow the vacuum to suck out the air to a desired level then hit stop before the fluids start to be removed; then click the seal button. Make sure the sealed area is dry if the bag fails to seal. So far I am very pleased with this vacuum sealer.
Answer: Yup, just touch the Seal button. Pump stops while bag seals
Answer: yes

Q:
Does it have a drip tray?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can you microwave the seal bags?
Answer: We havent tried. We open the bag and heat the contents in a pot or microwave safe container.
Answer: We don’t anymore. I would check with manufacturer of the seal bags you are using just as a precautionary measure.
Answer: No
Q:
Does the machine cut the roll bags or you will need to cut it with scissor?
Answer: There is no bag storage or cutter on the unit
Answer: You will have to cut it yourself.
Answer: You will need to cut them yourself
Q:
Does it store the bag roll inside and have a cutter?
Answer: No and no. Inexpensive unit. Must cut length and seal, or buy bags with one end sealed. Works pretty good (did one deer), but doesn't seem to vacuum the heavy walled material well. The material thickness supplied with unit works.
Answer: No. This unit does NOT house the rolls or have a cutter. Hope this helps.
Answer: No, it does not have either.
Q:
Can a jar sealer be attached to this product?
Answer: The product comes with a "tube and end fitting" that attach to the unit. SPECIAL jars, canisters, containers must be purchased separately. Logically that should not be a surprise, Tupperware, as an example, must have 100's of different shapes and sizes. The machine is fantastic and we love it, the bags are readily available (off brands work just fine too).. With that said start to shop around and find a few different "canisters" that suit your need and cupboard space and you are good to go. Enjoy!
Answer: yes
Q:
Does it come with the wine stopper pictured?
Answer: OOPS..... my fault, YES it comes with a wine stopper, I just checked my box closer and saw that the triangular shaped rubber plug at the end of the hose is in fact the wine stopper. the bowls do not need any addition fittings as long as you use the tube provided. You invert the wine stopper into the bottle and connect the tube and follow the instructions in the book...Cute!
Answer: It does not picture a wine stopper. What you see is a tube and the connector that goes on the plastic type Tupperware containers.
Answer: My unit did not work, had to return it and I ordered a Food Saver replacement.
Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes, it was.
Answer: Yes it does
Answer: Yes it did.
Answer: Yes, mine did!
Q:
How does the wine stopper work?
Answer: The wine stopper as a small opening at the top. After you insert the stopper into your wine bottle insert the hose supplied with the Geryon Vacuum sealer and attache the hose to the machine. The receptacle for that plug is on the right. Then press the Vac Seal button. The machine will suck the air out of the top of the wine bottle. Less air means less oxidation. Your wine will stay fresh and tasty longer.
Q:
Do i need to buy a special bag for vacuum packing?
Answer: Make sure you are using vacuum sealer bags with texture on one or both sides .
Answer: Yes. You can buy big rolls and save a bit since the rolls don't need to be stored in the sealer. Sealer bags are thicker and have texture on one or both sides. With out the texture you won't get all the air out.
Answer: Recommend for special vacuum bags with textured for Vac-seal, smooth bags can only be sealed without vacuuming.
Q:
Where do I get the bags to be able to seal? What is the largest bag I can make?
Answer: Make sure Less than 12 inch wide bag/roll will fit with the machine.
Answer: The largest bag you could seal would be as wide as the roll and as long as you want, the bags are not usually precut from the roll.
Q:
what's the difference for operating seal and vacuum seal function?
Answer: SEAL BUTTON
Answer: You can use the seal button to seal the food that you don't want it to be vacuum sealing, that's the difference.
Q:
Does it come with bags?
Answer: Yes, STARTER KITS: 1 x Air suction hose, 5 x Heat-seal bags (7.8"*11.8"), 1 x roll (7.8"*78"), 1 x User Manual, 1 x Vacuum Sealer
Answer: yes, come with bags, roll, user manual,
Answer: Yes, it comes with bags, enough to get you started.
Answer: Yes it does, only a few, more like a sample pack.
Q:
This year we have a large garden. I have never canned and/or froze food before. How difficult is this machine?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Using this machine to seal up packages of fresh produce, etc is easy. You just have to cut the bags to have enough space to seal and after you have used it a few times you start to get a feel for how much to add on a little length beyond whatever you are bagging, IF it is too short, the vacuum and seal don't work well.
Answer: It is a bit difficult (at least for me) to learn how to position the bag to achieve proper seal but once I got the hang of it all good. The instructions coming from seller seemed to confuse the matter so go with the manufacturer instructions.
Answer: Not difficult at all. I find it very simple to operate and so far it has sealed bags well for us and prevents freezer burn if following directions.
Answer: This sealer is easy to use
Answer: Very easy.
Q:
Is the roll of bags that comes with this set just for sealing or vacuum and sealing?
Answer: The roll bags can be used for seal and vacuum sealing
Q:
It vacuum perfectly. however, it did not stop. how long does it run before vacseal is finished?
Answer: For me it had work perfectly all the time. Sometimes if is not closed properly it keeps going and won't seal. Also when you seal one of the ends and per say you left small, tiny open space that you can notice. It won't seal and it just keep on going. Just make sure that you close the sides tight at all times. If it over heats the same thing happens. Let it rest for a couple of minutes and it should be OK. I have two of these units and they have bin working for me flawlessly since I got them two years ago.
Answer: I have run into this as well. I usually just hit 'stop' or 'seal' when this occurs. For me it usually happens on the "moist" food setting. HTH
Answer: If it can't draw a sufficient vacuum it continues. Most often bag may not be positioned correctly. Had it happen a couple times. Stopped and repositioned bag. Other than that it could be defective sensor or whatever.
Answer: If the unit continues to run on vacseal there is usually a crimp in the bag and you are not getting a good seal. You may not have the bag in correctly , one edge not in seal chamber.
Answer: I have to look at the lights. When it is done the light for the seal/vac seal goes out. It’s very quick. If it’s still running quite awhile I would say you’re not getting a good seal and it’s working hard to do it’s job.
Q:
How many consecutive seals can it do before it needs to cool off
Answer: The user manual I believe states to wait 30-40 seconds between seals
Answer: I don't know it hasn't over heated on me yet!
Answer: In my experience about 3 or 4.
Q:
what type of vacuum wine stopper to buy with the geryon vacuum sealer hose?
Answer: My sealer I bought came with a wine stopper to use with it so I don’t know. I would guess any wine stopper made for vacuum sealers. Mine just uses a small hose that fits over the suction stub on one side and into the hole on the stopper.
Answer: I have an opened mine yet
Q:
does this use the same type of textured bags that the food saver uses?
Answer: Yes. But my experience with the the bags that come for free with it aren’t very good. I ordered better ones that are textured only on one side and they seem to work perfectly.
Answer: Yes. The texture helps the vacuum process.
Answer: Yes, MOST ,not all of any brand with texture on at least one side will work, two sides are better but require more caution in sealing as a "crink" on the sealing edge will cause an air leak and stay sealed long if at all. a smooth sealing edge is crucial to a GREAT seal.
Answer: I'm not sure. I've only used the Geryon bags and they work great
Q:
What is the widest bag that can be used?
Answer: less than 12inches width vacuum sealer bags will be fine
Answer: 11 in
Q:
Can I use 5 mil bags or 5 mil rolls with this Geryon vacuum sealer?
Answer: either
Q:
Does it store the vacuum bags and have a slicer on it
Answer: No it does not. You must slice the bags yourself and it does not store the bags. This is a basic, no-frills unit.
Answer: No, it does not
Q:
Is the life time warranty on the sealer or just the attachments?
Answer: the attatchments
Q:
Can you seal without using the vacuum function?
Answer: SEAL BUTTON has three uses:
Answer: Yes. There is a seal function.
Q:
Where is this made?
Answer: The machine is made in China, but I cannot find any information about Geryon itself, except that Geryon is a giant in Greek Mythology.
Answer: The tag on the back of the Sealer says made in China.
Answer: China
Product reviews of GERYON Vacuum Sealer, Automatic Compact Food Sealer Machine with Starter Bags & Roll, Hose for Food Savers and Sous Vide
DASM : Small, compact, easy to use and excellent customer service!
Had an issue with the first one after only a few seals but Geryon was very quick to send me a new sealer and this one is working very well. I especially love not having to pull out my large sealer for small jobs. And the hose attachment is an added benefit to this sealer.
BethFink : Two units and both dont work
I have had two units. The first one broke on the second bag used to vacuum seal. The second one quit working after three bags. I guess an optimist would say that it is getting better by three-fold every time I get a new unit? I will be looking for a new vacuum sealer and do not recommend this one. THe only positive is that they sent me a free replacement the first time around. Not impressed otherwise!
Amazon Customer : Won't last long...
It worked very well until now-10/2020. Partially vacuums, and doesn't advance to the 'seal' stage. I'm forced to buy another one, and it won't be a Geryon. Very disappointed!
mommadyl : Doing everything it's supposed to
I got this vacuum sealer for myself as a Christmas gift and so far it has done everything exactly as it is supposed to. We use it for Costco bulk purchases to divide into smaller portions. Sealed and froze some small portions of meats to send back to college with our son. With a couple of big blocks of ice in the color, everything arrived in solid frozen condition. I like that this sealer comes with a vacuum bottle top. Used it to vacuum seal an open bottle of wine. Ingenious.
I really like this sealer and would buy it again. It's a great value.
Barbara Brookin : Small footprint, easy to use
I wanted to try a vacuum sealer because I have begun using a sous vide appliance. After trying a different sealer, I settled on this one for several reasons: 1) It's small, and my kitchen storage is limited. It's only 3" tall and just over 5" deep, so it fits comfortably in one of the drawers. 2) It has an auto-lock feature so I don't have to stand down on the lid while it's sealing. My test unit didn't have this feature, and I found having to attend the machine while it was working annoying. 3) The value was great. The machine comes with attachments needed to work with vacuum-appropriate canisters, had the features I wanted, and was still priced well. The spot where the vacuum hose attaches has a look-alike spot that has no function. This had me baffled for a bit, as the product manual looks as though the "fake" spot is where the tube should be attached. Once I had the right spot, all was well. It looks and feels well made. I recommend it, especially for people who don't want to keep a bulky machine out on the kitchen counter.
kpha : Could not get it to create a vacuum
This machine seals well. However, I was not able to get it to pull the air out of the bag. I had several people try (without success). Finally, my son (who works out at the gym regularly) just crammed the lid down and held it throughout the process. Then.... it created somewhat of a vacuum. I had to return it because I did not want to have to sit on it or call my son whenever I wanted to bag, vacuum and seal.
john Babrick : Short life expectancy - failed after less than a year of light household use
It worked OK for the first half a year or so of light housefold use but now fails to correctly evacuate the air from the bag and seal automatically. Fails to fully seal, which means that if you are sous vide-ing your food then water will work into the bag during cooking and ruin the meat. Cheap plastic construction, so it wasn't likely to last in the first place. Disappointed.
ChaelynW : Works well for packaging meat to freeze
This is a super easy to use sealer. Wish the vacuum seal would go for a little longer, as sometimes there is air in the bag still when it seals...and it's hard to stop it from sealing quick enough to keep vacuuming air out. We use it for packaging venison and it's best when the meat lays flat and in the center of the plastic bag.
Russell McCoy : GERYON Vacum Sealer is an awesome value and simple to use!
My wife has been considering a Food Vacum Sealer for a long time and we finally decided to give one a try a vacum sealer and Dafter shopping stores and Amazon we decided to order the Geryon BO7DWWYLFF from Amazon. Wow what a deal! The machine is so easy to use. Much better than ZipLock Bags and Freezer Paper we have been buying and using for years and very cost effective. Thank you GERYON & Amazon, Russell & Jeannie McCoy
Rhonda R. : Works Perfectly!
This vacuum sealer is amazing, especially when you consider the price tag. We bought it to replace another, more expensive unit and were a little skeptical as the other unit was less than impressive. This unit works really well and seals perfectly. Highly recommend!
JCM : Very Pleased
I actually ordered this in 2018. We have been very pleased with the quality and ease of use. There was a slight learning curve concerning wet foods on our end, but this is the only challenge. I would recommend this product to everyone searching for one.
TinyT : Great little vacuum sealer
For the money, this thing does a great job. The suction is incredible. I did make sure to read the directions and do a test run with a bag before actually getting to work. For sealing products, it worked very well. I ordered extra rolls of bags, and they seemed to work just like the ones that came in the box. I probably used it the first day to vacuum seal about 30 bags total, and it worked well. Just make sure to read the directions, look at the pictures, and get the bag placement correct to make sure it can vacuum out the air.
ChrisB : Solid Vacuum Sealer!
I've wanted to get a vacuum sealer for some time now. I brew beer and keeping extra hops for longer in the freezer has been a concern for years. Not to mention the food benefits. I finally decided to pull the trigger and make this happen. Looking around, I saw solid reviews and a great price. I haven't been disappointed!
I've been using the product for the past week, and have taken it out about a half dozen times. I've re-sealed some old bags and used some of the bags provided, and had no issues with either. I have not yet used the tube attachment or wine stopper, but will get there eventually.
For now the price, size, ease of use and quiet operation are all wins :)
TRO : Great value, save time and money.
We purchased the Geryon Sealer in November and quickly used it to safely store and freeze Holiday leftovers. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at how easy the sealer was to operate and now that we have had it for 8 months how fresh it keeps foods both frozen and refrigerated. We routinely seal and store leftovers. Cooking for two can be difficult and wasteful, but cooking larger quantities and freezing for future meals saves both time and money. Buying meats in larger packages and vacuum sealing and freezing is economical as well. Freezing fresh fruits and vegetables is also a snap. In-season produce is less expensive and we can save on the grocery bill every month. Before the Geryon vacuum sealer, we stored in Ziploc baggies. Freezer burn and waste were the results, not to mention the expensive freezer baggies. Do yourself a favor and get a Geryon. You won't be disappointed!
chet : Vacuum Sealer
I liked this vacuum sealer so much that purchased one for my Lady Friend. She liked it also. I have sealed a lot of meat so that it will not get freezer burn. I get fresh produce when it is in season and the price is right and seal it for the freezer. Read the instructions carefully and you can seal things like a Pro. It is real simple to use. highly recommend this sealer.
NAJ : Very much in love with this affordable sealer
I've been wanting a vacuum sealer for a long time, but I could never bring myself to pay over $100. I took a chance on this brand and model and I truly couldn't be happier. I haven't even gotten to all the cool features yet like the wine stopper. I can't imagine what the flash brands can do that this can't. When it comes down to it it's a simple function, and paying double/triple isn't going to have a special added feature like "...and it cooks your steak for you!" This will be the only sealer I need. I know it for a fact. And, man, how perfect it has worked with my sous vide cooker. Best pork tenderloin and prime rib I have ever had!
James M. Baronetski : So far so good!
So far so good packaged up deer meat with no problems. Happy so far with purchase
Ceridwen : Vacuum motor weak, doesn't work very well
I bought this to replace a sealer that had died after a decade. Didn't try to use it right away, mores the pity. It doesn't work very well at all. The motor is like a toy, the suction weak. I will be sending this to the thrift store and buying one that will actually do what it's supposed to do, and yes I did watch the instruction video.
Amazon Customer : Seems Good To Me
I bought this to use with Sous Vide cooking. I've never owned a vacuum sealer and didn't really know what to expect. The seller provided instructions in the package and as well via email which I thought was helpful. I had no problem getting it setup for first use. I've use this on a variety of food meat and vegetables without any issues. It is also very wide and takes bags up to 11'' or even a bit more. I have not used the container sealing nor do I plan on using that feature so you may want to look for another review if that feature interests you. My only criticism of the product would be the buttons. They are almost like smartphone touchscreen buttons. If you graze against them in anyway, they activate. I still gave this 5 stars because this product sucks like I wanted it to...perhaps I just need to be more careful with my hands to not smack the buttons.
Joseph : Try Something Else
I was excited about this purchase. It seemed to have good reviews, an extra feature or two compared to other baseline models and looked presentable. I've now gone through two units, both failing to make an airtight seal (kind of important considering it's function. Invest your money elsewhere, I implore you.
Feel free to watch my video for further details.
Richard Wright : Does not last long...
This was an entry purchase into vacuum sealers for me, and I went with the modestly prices Greyon. First, I must say that I LOVE vacuum sealers...they are great, and this one definitely worked. For a short while. Within the first month, a small burn hole developed in the coating around the sealer element - not a big deal at first - until the hole started growing. Fortunately, it only minor affected the performance of the seal function (I would always end up with a small melted-hole in the seal on the bags, but they would still be generally sealed). After about 6 months of use, the vacuum became slower and weaker. By 1.5 years, it will no longer fully vacuum the air out of a bag, and it only fully seals about 50% of the time. You get what you pay for, I guess. I just purchased the popular brand name for way more money...we'll see if it's worth the premium!
Steve Kortemeyer : Great vacuum sealer at a great price!
I bought this for the sole purpose of sealing up some garden fresh jalapeños and feeezing them. I’ve never had a vacuum sealer before, and I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on one. I found this one on amazon, it had some good reviews, and it was reasonably priced so I decided to give it a shot. I was sceptical as usual, but it exceeded my expectations! It really works great. It’s super easy to use, it’s well built, powerful vacuum, great seal, and really seems to be a quality product. I’m going to start using it for meats and everting else I want to freeze for an extended time. If you’re thinking about a vacuum sealer, I highly recommend this one, it’s a great sealer at a great price! I added a couple pics of the first few bags of peppers I sealed.
Michael Smith : Easy to use and clean but stopped working correctly!
After receiving my Geryon Vacuum Sealer, I used it to bag and seal some green beans from my garden! This thing is awesome, it’s perfect for my needs! I would recommend this to anyone! Update, 4 months later it stopped working correctly! It will not vac and seal! You have to press seal and once sealed the air was not all vacuumed out like when new!
kpha : Could not get it to create a vacuum
This machine seals well. However, I was not able to get it to pull the air out of the bag. I had several people try (without success). Finally, my son (who works out at the gym regularly) just crammed the lid down and held it throughout the process. Then.... it created somewhat of a vacuum. I had to return it because I did not want to have to sit on it or call my son whenever I wanted to bag, vacuum and seal.
Lupin The Dog : The lock on the right side is hard but works good.
Works great. I removed 1 star because (1) the lock on the right side is a bit hard to close it; I need to press it down with my body leaning against it to lock it and (2) vacuuming part is difficult to clean especially when vacuum-sealing powdery things inside the bag, some powder stuck inside vacuuming channel and other vacuum cleaner may be needed to clean. I have been using it time to time over 6 months and it’s a good Procrustean.
John S. : Great Vacuum Sealer at a reasonable price.
I am very happy with this purchase. My order was shipped and received quickly (I do have Prime though). Item was packaged very well. The first day that I used my vacuum sealer, I sealed seven pouches. I had a problem with my first attempt but that was due to my error. Once I realized that I had placed the end of the bag beyond the vacuum chamber, I had no problem sealing the rest of the bags. This sealer is very easy to use and seems to be built very well although it is not a heavy machine. My primary use for this sealer is to be able to buy bulk quantities of meats and split into smaller packages to keep in the freezer for longer periods of time. Overall, I am very satisfied with this unit and would recommend this unit to others. Easy to use and compact.
Lilliam Olivares-Valdivia : Works well and fast!
I like the fast and easy way to vacuum and seal. However I find it hard to lock it! You have to press very hard to hear the click and this is not very easy for seniors with arthritic hands!
pat cowen : Baggies work as good or better
Reading the instructions and examining the machine I never wcould get it to suck air out then seal. Several friends tried it out and couldn’t get it to work as advertised either. Threw it away and have gone back to plain ole baggies
Lefty58 : Good Vacuum for the price
A bit difficult to learn how to use. Seller offered printed instructions which conflicted with the manufacturer instructions in regard to locking the machine while vacuuming. Printed instructions stated NOT to lock the machine because it would cause the gaskets to wear out quicker but the vacuum was much slower and tedious as compared to locking and seeing the vacuum process complete very quickly. Rolls for bagging were easy to use and the sealing process was very easy. The only difficulty was ensuring that the air was fully eliminated from the bag and the only way to do this properly was to lock the machine each time. Seems to be a handy machine for the price. We will see how long of a life it has.
Ceridwen : Vacuum motor weak, doesn't work very well
I bought this to replace a sealer that had died after a decade. Didn't try to use it right away, mores the pity. It doesn't work very well at all. The motor is like a toy, the suction weak. I will be sending this to the thrift store and buying one that will actually do what it's supposed to do, and yes I did watch the instruction video.
ChaelynW : Works well for packaging meat to freeze
This is a super easy to use sealer. Wish the vacuum seal would go for a little longer, as sometimes there is air in the bag still when it seals...and it's hard to stop it from sealing quick enough to keep vacuuming air out. We use it for packaging venison and it's best when the meat lays flat and in the center of the plastic bag.
Littleapple : Great sealer
This is my 3rd sealer. I like it is easy to use, no need to press so hard to lock it.
Russell McCoy : GERYON Vacum Sealer is an awesome value and simple to use!
My wife has been considering a Food Vacum Sealer for a long time and we finally decided to give one a try a vacum sealer and Dafter shopping stores and Amazon we decided to order the Geryon BO7DWWYLFF from Amazon. Wow what a deal! The machine is so easy to use. Much better than ZipLock Bags and Freezer Paper we have been buying and using for years and very cost effective. Thank you GERYON & Amazon, Russell & Jeannie McCoy
Ricardo Menendez : Works really well
Its a great vacuum sealer that does everything you need it to for a really good price. I haven't experienced any issues, very easy to use if you follow the instructions. It really didnt take much to figure out though. I chose this vacuum sealer over other similar priced vacuum sealers because it seemed to have good reviews, was a great price, and also came with starter bags and a hose (most others for this price did not have the hose option). I've used it almost everyday since I got it and have had no issues at all. It vacuum seals correctly, and also vacuums much quieter than many other models i have seen. The item arrived quickly, and i have not been let down.

MST : weak
this is a crappy vacuum sealer...anyone that has used a real vacuum sealer will immediately know this. the suction is weak, you can see all the air bubbles in the uploaded pictures from other customers as well lol. generic walmart brand vacuum sealers are not even this bad.
james felesky : Wish I had bought this sooner!
Wow! The money we save not throwing away food that has spoiled and/or has freezerburn. This little gadget is the Best!! Ever since we got it, it has proved itself over and over and has already paid for itself! It is top notch! Great purchase at a great Amazon price!
Rhonda R. : Works Perfectly!
This vacuum sealer is amazing, especially when you consider the price tag. We bought it to replace another, more expensive unit and were a little skeptical as the other unit was less than impressive. This unit works really well and seals perfectly. Highly recommend!
ChrisB : Solid Vacuum Sealer!
I've wanted to get a vacuum sealer for some time now. I brew beer and keeping extra hops for longer in the freezer has been a concern for years. Not to mention the food benefits. I finally decided to pull the trigger and make this happen. Looking around, I saw solid reviews and a great price. I haven't been disappointed!
I've been using the product for the past week, and have taken it out about a half dozen times. I've re-sealed some old bags and used some of the bags provided, and had no issues with either. I have not yet used the tube attachment or wine stopper, but will get there eventually.
For now the price, size, ease of use and quiet operation are all wins :)
Mom of Two : Broke after a few uses
I want this product to work, I need it to work as I use it to freeze bags of buscuits for my dog treat business. However part of the heat sealer is already damaged, it’s that small spot under the word “caution”, and now all the bags are burning, letting air back in. I haven’t even been using this for a month yet. I’d like to find a replacement part ASAP!
Amazon Customer : Don't know how
I have lived without this? Great product and does exactly what it says it will. Owned for 5 months now and still works like a champ. Just follow instructions and read reviews about pressing down on the corners to get a proper sill.
mary : excellent product
This vacuum sealer has a sleek look, and is stable on the counter. It functions extremely well, sealing and resealing various foods. Just follow the well written directions and refer to them as needed. I bought several other brand vacuum sealers as gifts in the past for twice the cost, and they are no better. I recently bought this one for myself. It has all the features I need for home use. Unless you are looking for more professional features, I highly recommend this Geryon E5700
W. Day : Exactly the same chassis and functions as more expensive alternatives!
I was looking for a vacuum sealer to go with the sous vide I got on Prime Day and found this one. I thought about going with the Nutrichef just for brand recognition, but then I realized that this one and the almost twice the price Nutrichef looked exactly the same except for the logo. Both were well reviewed, so I went for it and it's perfect! There's no reason to spend more, this sealer works great.
TinyT : Great little vacuum sealer
For the money, this thing does a great job. The suction is incredible. I did make sure to read the directions and do a test run with a bag before actually getting to work. For sealing products, it worked very well. I ordered extra rolls of bags, and they seemed to work just like the ones that came in the box. I probably used it the first day to vacuum seal about 30 bags total, and it worked well. Just make sure to read the directions, look at the pictures, and get the bag placement correct to make sure it can vacuum out the air.
Tony : Doesn’t seem to have a durable, lasting outlook about it
Cons: unbalanced, locking the unit to seal bag is a little difficult. Pros: seals well, vacuums well, and hose attachment preforms well on canisters. Overall, the unit seems to have some potential. Still to early to tell how well it will hold up under long term household use.
Bobbie : High Hopes :(
So sorry to say this pretty little unit is going back to China. It sealed beautifully but would not vacumm no matter what or how I tried to trouble shoot it. Very sad, as this was going to be my first attempt at preserving vegetables from my little garden this year. Oh well. I will have to try another manufacturer. Maybe US made, as there is no phone number to call....only an email address. I did send an email but as I am pretty disappointed, I will just return the product asap...
Christopher065 : Love it. Make sure you read the instructions!
We got ours a few weeks ago. My wife and I both love it. Keeps the air out of our frozen leftovers and allows me to partition out meals for the week that freeze without getting all frosty! Can’t wait to use it with our Sous vide cooker.

Amazon Customer : Great sealer at a great price
This machine is easy to use, and works great. Just take a minute read the instructions, and it will work good. As others have said, when doing wet food (like uncooked chicken breasts), I find it is easiest to freeze the chicken for a few minutes, wipe any moisture off the bag (after inserting the chicken in) where you will seal it, and set the machine to "wet". These things are so much better than just using freezer bags.
DA : A very capable sealer at a terrific price
Right out of the box I sealed 12 blocks of smoked cheese in pint bags that I also purchased on Amazon. Everything went smoothly and the sealed bags looked perfect. After packing the cheese, I moved on to a half dozen jalepeno chedder summer sausages that I had also just finished in the smoker. Again, no problem and the finished product was all ready to give away as Christmas gifts. Overall, I was very impressed with the performance for the low price. This sealer works every bit as well as ones costing three times a much!
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
