Questions about KOIOS Vacuum Sealer Machine, 80Kpa Automatic Food Sealer with Cutter for Food Savers, 10 Sealing Bags, With Up To 40 Consecutive Seals, Dry & Moist Modes, Compact Design (Silver)
Q:
Can someone recommend replacement bags?
Answer: We use Foodsaver but I think any sealable roll bags would work. You can cut it to any size you need right in the machine. We used to have a Foodsaver machine but like this one much better. And it is less expensive too which is always nice. We had some leftover Foodsaver bags and they work fine.
Q:
will this sealer re-seal a bag of lettuce/salad or other items bought at the store that comes in a plastic bag?
Answer: Smooth bags can only be sealed without vacuuming. I recommend for KOIOS special vacuum bags with textured for Vac-seal.
Q:
Does it come with a warranty?
Answer: COMES WITH A 1 YEAR WARRANTY BUT WHEN YOU REGISTER THE PRODUCT THEY GIVE YOU 2 YEARS
Q:
What is the sponge thing (kind of double that is hooked on each end) that came in the box? I see nothing in the user manual regarding it. Thanks!
Answer: They are kind enough to give you a spare. Same for the little rubber feet. Trying to replace parts like this would probably be tough. Working great
Answer: what is the clear tube with tan adapters at each end?
Answer: I think it's an extra sponge to make the seal in case the first receives damage. I just saved it.
Answer: It is an extra seal for the vacuum chamber
Q:
What else in the package besides the machine? Is there a bag cutter?
Answer: yes there is a cutter. It stores inside the machine. was a happy surprise when I found it. (open the machine like you are going to seal a bag...it is stored in there...is about the size of a silver dollar coin.) It also comes with the hose attachment to seal vacuum jars/containers. Haven't used that yet.
Answer: It came with an extra gasket, 10 special bags, a delicate cutter and a pumping pipe in the original package. So far, so good.
Answer: is the cutter part of the machine or separate?
Q:
I am not able to get this to work Is there a trick to the vacuum/seal?
Answer: I find that you need to make sure the bag to be sealed is cut clean and straight. Both sides of the outer portion of the bag to be sealed are clean and dry. Lay the bag and assure it is flat on the heating element and close the door making sure you press on both sides until it clicks. Press the vacuum and seal button. Should run its cycle completely and auto shut off. Press lock release bottoms and open doors. The product should vacuumed sealed.
Answer: I don’t know I sent it back. Decided to get new seals for my other one.
Q:
What does up to 30 consecutive seals mean? What happend after 30? And 'there will be a replacement sealing sponge'- do they wear out?
Answer: It simply means that you "should" be able to vac & seal 30 bags, before you have to stop to let it cool down.
Answer: It means you can seal 30 bags in a row without overheating or damaging the pump.
Answer: I have no idea what this is referring. I use this unit several times a week and have had no problems
Q:
Can I vacuum-seal warm prepared meals or I must wait until they are cold?
Answer: I only sealed cold or room temperature items.
Q:
can this work with liquid like foods such as chili?
Answer: I pré-freeze things like chili, soups, stews etc. I keep plastic containers just for this purpose in 2 different sizes, rectangular in shape. Pop the food out when frozen and vacuum seal in a bag. really easy to stack in freezer this way.
Answer: You can do this however I would suggest using a deep bag where the chili can sit in the bottom. You can use the suction to a point then stop it and seal. You don't want the liquid to be sucked into the machine.
Answer: yes. it has a setting for wet or dry food.
Answer: yes there is a setting for "wet" food. The vacuum is reduced
Answer: My suggestion would be to freeze the chili in serving bowls. Once frozen, pop out of bowl and freeze the frozen chili in your vacuum bags in perfect portions to serve.
Q:
Are Foodsaver hoses compatible with this sealer?
Answer: Yes I think that are. Mine fit.
Q:

Can any of these be sealed on the Moist setting: stews, spaghetti sauce, meat in thick sauce, soups?
Answer: I have not tried it on stuff this "Moist..." but I used it for my pulled pork with sauce inside. Id just make sure it really is sealed. it couple of mine took a few times sealing to actual seal. could be operator error, too.
Answer: Try freezing in shallow bowls and, then remove the frozen stew, sauce, or soup and vacuum seal it.
Answer: I tried sealing greens after cooking and draining them, but it overflowed and spilled all over the counter and didn't seal because it was too wet. I would recommend at least a partial freeze before sealing.

what is the clear tube with tan plugs at each end?

Q:
Ready to return.Only have ever had Foodsave - cannot for the life of me figure out how to vacuum seal with this - and no instructions in manual...HELP
Answer: Ok. You don't have to return it. Take the bag with your food in it and lay the opening into the tray, the long opening tray near the hot brown strip at the front when you open the device. You look at it and can't figure out how it removed the air but it does. Making sure you have preheated it, shut the lid and push the button that says vacuum seal...also, lock it for safety. It will stop automatically and it will seal and seal well. I can't figure out how it does but it does. Please let me know if it worked. I just walked through the process to make sure I was telling you correctly.
Answer: I was confused by the just seal function because up until now I only used the vacuum&seal function. What I didn’t realize is that the seal only function (the gray button on the left) is quiet. At first I thought it was broken. As well, you have to make sure the end of the bag you are trying to seal has some room at the top. Also make sure you are closing the machine well. Push hard if you have to until you hear both sides click into place. Other tips include, making sure the bag edge is straight and not wet. Hope this helps.
Answer: Press the right button
Q:
how often to youe the seal?
Answer: I've never "to youe the seal"
Answer: At least once a day. I love it I just bought a bunch of steaks and roast had one of the roasts ground into Hamburg and bagged all of it. Put it in the freezer. It works perfectly every time. Before this one o ordered adifferent one it was the worst every time I tried to seal anything it would melt the bag and the seal was no good. So I decided to fine a new one and send it back. I watched video read about different ones before I made my decision on this one. Can’t go wrong. Best of luck!
Answer: what is the question?
Q:
Has anyone used this with salad? I was looking for a compatible cannister to use the hose attachment but can't find any on Amazon. Anyone have ideas?
Answer: This has an bonus device to remove air from canisters... you should be able to put salad in a bag and use this device. One tip when sealing salad in a bag... insert a white paper towel before sealing. This will help to keep your lettuce from turning brown.

Is the built in cutter a slider?

Why is the unit cheaper than the tvs-2150? are there mechanical differences/improvements?
Answer: Not quite sure that’s a relevant
Q:
I purchased and was unable to get the bag to seal automatically. I had to push the seal button. I find this different than the description?
Answer: You're joking, right. Automatic means you push the button, the vacuum sealer vacuums, the sealer seals the bag and shuts off when finished. All in one operation. Like your car has a automatic transmission, that doesn't mean you don't have to start the engine and put it in gear, does it?
Answer: You're joking, right. Automatic means you push the button, the vacuum sealer vacuums, the sealer seals the bag and shuts off when finished. All in one operation. Like your car has a automatic transmission, that doesn't mean you don't have to start the engine and put it in gear, does it?
Answer: Mine will not seal automatically either. I must press the seal button to complete the job.
Answer: It won't auto seal if you have it on moist, it only auto seals on dry mode.
Answer: Yes I did too! Other than that it works great for me
Answer: Same here, I believe it's a defect.
Answer: You guys must be doing something wrong cuz I didn't have to touch anything
Q:

Answer:
Answer:

Answer: I have never tried to seal Mylar bags.
Q:
what is the composition of the plastic used for the bags? ... BPA free ?

Product reviews of KOIOS Vacuum Sealer Machine, 80Kpa Automatic Food Sealer with Cutter for Food Savers, 10 Sealing Bags, With Up To 40 Consecutive Seals, Dry & Moist Modes, Compact Design (Silver)
Simply Life : Disappointed.
I was so excited to purchase this item. I tried it out the day I received it. It worked great for three times and then it quit sealing. I thought I over did it, so I quit using it for about an hour and when back to try again. It still wouldn't seal. It would cut the plastic but that was it. I hated it quit working. The return was easy and I got my money back really quickly.
BJA : This sealer was a nice size but it is too noisy for me
This sealer was a nice size but it is too noisy for me. I have to process the vacuum/sealer feature a couple of times before it works correctly. It is ok for my first sealer.
GSav Miami : Great Product for the Price
We use to have the well-known brand but it broke. When I went shopping for another, the price of a new one was over twice what this product cost. Now, why do I love this one - it allows you to stop vacuuming and go directly to sealing when you want. That was not the case with the high priced other brand. This also is a smaller unit and allows us to store easier than the bulky other well-known product. Well worth the money and my wife loves it. Finally can seal exactly as we want.
Lisa Crowe : Trash. Do not buy. I'm done. 2nd unit to be returned.
This is the 2nd unit I've bought that has failed - very same problem both times. Namely after about 2 dozen uses the unit stops sealing after the suction function. In other words it will seal the open end then do the suction part but not seal on the other end. The last time I contacted them they had me take a video of the problem, which I did, then they sent a replacement unit. Very same failure again. Not worth my trouble to call, take another video, etc. It's going in the trash.
Bookish : Updated 1-Star Review
Updated Review:
After leaving a 1 star review, the seller contacted me and asked to send me a (free) replacement machine if I would re-evaluate the product's performance. The new machine is A LOT better! It's honestly like a completely different product. The suction is very good, a lot better than my other (cheaper) vacuum sealer.
I vac/sealed 3 vacuum seal bags with no problems or issues (1 moist and 2 dry). I then tried vac/sealing mylar bags of rice and (quite surprisingly) I didn't have any issues there either! I double seal, and sometimes triple seal, my mylar bags just to be on the safe side since they are for storing food for more than 20 years.
I'll try and remember to update in a year and let you know how the machine stands up to time.
Original One-Star Review:
I was excited to get this as it was my first, very own vacuum sealer for my new home. I've used plenty of them through the years, so I know how they work and what to do. I tried to seal 5 items with this machine the day it was delivered. The first bag went okay, it took awhile for it to suction but it did remove the air and sealed it. Bags 2-5 were all failures. It would either suck all the air out and then fail to seal the bag or it would suck all the air, the vacuum suction would stop, and air would seep into the bag right before the machine sealed the bag.
It's not user error, I've used these machines for years with no issues and I even broke out the instructions booklet to insure I was in fact doing everything correctly. I also had my boyfriend attempt to seal a couple bags and he couldn't get it to work either. I returned this product.

LL : Great vacuum sealer! Bonus slicer and air tube! Love it!
I got this vacuum sealer because it had 80Kpa (for us Americans, this is 11.603 PSI) of suction. It performs very well and I have sealed many fruits/veggies/nut bags with it. It comes with a neat slicer to cut bags to custom sizes and an air tube to vacuum seal containers (containers purchased separately). Also, the customer service was very responsive when I asked them a few questions about containers.
nclefty : Easy, out of the box, to use
Very easy to use however must make sure that the end of the bag that is being sealed is FLUSH to the sealer without any wrinkles. Bag must lie flat on the sealer strip and then it is good to go. Just takes some time to get it right but overall is is easy, compact, and quite maneuverable. Directions are ok. There is one gasket included that I have not figured our what it is and cannot find in the general instructions.
Slogg9 : Satisfied! Instructions are terrible though
I had to burn through about 5-10 bags before I could get it to work, but once I figured it out, it's pretty awesome! The hardest part is figuring out where to align the open end inside the machine. Instructions (which are garbage) says to put it along the "top edge" of the black weatherstripping. Well, the strip is oval shaped, so logically I assumed it meant the farther edge. Nope. Maybe the bottom edge? Wrong again. You need to fold the open end down towards the bottom of the machine, and align against the those two little prongs in the middle of the black oval. Done. Love it.
Judy Pickens Montgomery : Don't waste your money
I was looking forward to using this for garden vegetables that I normally put in ziploc bags. I just wasted my money!! First, it will NOT vacuum and seal. That button only vacuums, it will NOT seal anything. Not even an empty bag!! You have to let it vacuum and then hit the seal button and wait a few seconds and hold your breath that it sealed. The instructions are just awful. They do not explain anything other than place the bag on the front, close and lock the lid, hit vacuum and seal. I did that about 7 times to no avail, then I went to empty bags and tried, still would not seal!! So, one last time I tried vacuum and seal and then hit the "seal" button on the left and it made a seal. The instructions do not tell you that!! That was with sliced up fresh yellow squash. Got that done. However, when trying to seal my grated zucchini it will NOT make a seal, just pulls the little bit of liquid up into the rim and will not make a seal. So, if you are willing to make lots of extra effort to seal something that is not totally DRY (the moist button does not help) then I'd suggest you save your money. Yes, I can send it back, they have Amazon return, but that will cost me whatever they decide to deduct from your refund and I've found that is usually a lot, so normally I don't even bother to send stuff back because of that reason. I'll keep it to just do dry things and realize it won't always work as it should. Another thing is that they put some extra things in the box. One I figured out is a seal. Then there's some sort of hose in there. NOTHING in the paperwork explains what these are for or how to install. Guess you have to already know. I suggest looking somewhere else for a sealer.
Angelwings2ltd : So far, Its Good
Everything is working fine. You need to make sure you get the bag in just far enough to get the vacuum to work right.
But there is always a learning curve for new things.
This machine is better than others I have tried in the past,
and the price is reasonable. . . .
I have had issues with the side locks. Its a bit hard to press to get it to lock.
I have nerve issues in my hands, & got this brand/model after reading a review from a buyer who had similar probs with their hands, and how this model was not an issue for them.
- - The good news is you do not have to lock the sides, when you just want to seal the bags!
I make several bags, in assorted sizes, in advance of my filling & vacuum sealing.
I just wish manufacturers would make the side locks easier to latch.
After all, it is the hooked clip that actually makes it latch.
My recommendation for the manufacturer, is to use a weaker spring on the mechanism.
It would be easier for people to press the ends to get it to lock.
- - - but that is just My opinion.

I have nerve issues in my hands, & got this brand/model after reading a review from a buyer who had similar probs with their hands, and how this model was not an issue for them.
- - The good news is you do not have to lock the sides, when you just want to seal the bags!
I make several bags, in assorted sizes, in advance of my filling & vacuum sealing.
I just wish manufacturers would make the side locks easier to latch.
After all, it is the hooked clip that actually makes it latch.
My recommendation for the manufacturer, is to use a weaker spring on the mechanism.
It would be easier for people to press the ends to get it to lock.
- - - but that is just My opinion.
Art Adams : What?! You don't have one of these??
I purchase food in bulk, meats, grains etc This thing is perfect for that. Vacuum sealed food keep longer and taste fresher than the old wrap in plastic wrap and pray it doesn't freezer burn. This will keep your food fresher longer period. I have even put items in the kids school lunches with this. I buy 25lbs of ground beef separate it into 2lb parts and vacuum seal all of it. Fish - forget about it, it lasts forever. I sealed salmon from Alaska fishing trip and forgot about it in the freezer, pulled it out 2 years later though - it's bad. Long story short, it was some of the best tasting salmon I ever had. Don't be skeptical about this purchase it will return the money spent in less wasted food. If you Sous Vide, it's a must.
Jim : Nice product and will save money
Used it twice. Once to seal pork chops and the other to seal chicken. Sealed pork chops like a champ by removing all the air. My wife and I also like to af a little marinade (Goya) to our chicken then seal it up. Think it would do the same as the pork chops I was wrong. It did pull some of the air it and sealed well. Thought it would suck all the air out and make a little mess, but did not. We sealed 3 chicken bags in total sl same results. Will be ok for the chicken in the freezer just not for a long time. Also just sealed up some bananas chips and it removed all the air. So maybe it is just really wet stuff it doesn't like. Great product, very easy to use and love the locking mechanisms on both side to get a good seal.
Javonte Hawkins : Beautiful machine
Love it
C.S. : ****Read my update~don’t buy from them
*****UPDATE
second item didn’t work out of box, they claimed to send a new one but two weeks later, nothing. When they sent replacement before, they begged for a good review and then offers to send me money to buy and post good reviews. Wth? I think it’s a scam company.
I bought this months ago and must say that item is great. The vacuum sealer keeps food fresh or great for sous vide. The machine is easy to use and small enough to tuck in drawers.
I loved item because it was so easy to use. After a few months, the machine stopped working but KOIOS has great customer service, they offered an immediate replacement. They believe in their items and customer support.

W. Vogel II : Good light duty Vacuum sealer
The product worked well right out of the box .It is a light duty vacuum sealer . It claims it can do about 40 seals before it becomes to hot but that seems a bit of a stretch . I found i had sealed about 24 packages before it became a struggle to vacuum. I let it cool down and then it resumed working well . It is good for sealing a few packages at a time . And recommend it highly for that . If you plan on buying in bulk and repackaging or harvesting from home , i would suggest on planning enough time to let it cool down between seals . A very nice product for the price either way but not designed for larger projects or homes . I made 28 pounds of homemade sausage , frozen into approximately 1 lb packages and got most of way through the sealing of packages before it needed to rest ( cool down ) . The seal seems to be very good .
James Townsend : Saves your Bulk Items
Got this item to replace our previous seeler that finally gave up. This was about half the price of what we expected to pay for the level of item needed. So, I was a bit hesitant. However, it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. We put it to work the same night by vacuum individually sealing a bulk purchase of boneless chicken breasts. It was quick and easy once we got the hang of it. The buttons are straight forward. But, getting the bag lined up and free of any moisture, at the point of sealing was a bit tricky at first. This gadget worked very well once we got it going, but it did present itself as being a bit pickier in it's operations compared to high dollar vacuum sealers. If you were to use this daily, I would say, save yourself a bit of the headache and go for a better model. But, if you only use it perhaps twice a month after a bulk grocery trip, it does the job to satisfaction. It did come with some bags for sealing, as a "starter pack" type thing. So, we will have to get more. Once we see the results given from using other brand sealer bags, I can update my review more thoroughly. Overall, nice gadget for the occasional user.
Wonky Bristols : Flimsy flimsy flimsy. See pics.
I owned my vacuum sealer only 5 months before the little trigger knob on the right corner of the lid broke off. I don’t even know how this happened. The machine won’t activate without the little knob, and the way it’s shaped makes it impossible to glue back. Now the machine is useless :(
8/18/20 Update: I found an earring stopper which I was able to shimmy some glue into the hollow opening and successfully glue where the trigger knob had been. That got the machine working again. It is now only a few months later and my machine has a few more major defects. The part of the lid that attaches to the hinge has cracked on both sides, including the underside of the lid (see pictures, no amount of glue could fix it.) I love a good bargain, but it is clear this was not one. It is simply poorly built and the materials used do not take into consideration the type of force needed to seal properly. There is no way for me to repair this new problem, and, frankly, I shouldn’t have to. Extremely disappointed. And this is the first time I’ve had a product purchased on Amazon fall apart like this.

nclefty : Easy, out of the box, to use
Very easy to use however must make sure that the end of the bag that is being sealed is FLUSH to the sealer without any wrinkles. Bag must lie flat on the sealer strip and then it is good to go. Just takes some time to get it right but overall is is easy, compact, and quite maneuverable. Directions are ok. There is one gasket included that I have not figured our what it is and cannot find in the general instructions.
Rebekah M Gibbs : Works great I am really pleased.
I love everything about this. I just wanted something to keep the air out of my frozen foods. I have recently started making my own dog food so it's important that I can freeze without the ice burn. I could not figure out how to get it to shut tight where you hear the click. My husband came in and it clicked one side at a time and it worked. There are not instructions but they are quick to answer any questions you have. Good customer service. I still am not sure when to use dry or moist setting but I am going to text the customer service. They get back with you right away. Good to order the bags that they have for this machine. The other ones you have to cut and seal both ends. The one with this machine comes already closed at one end.
David : I love this thing!
This is the first vacuum sealer I have ever had, and I don't know why I've gone so long without getting one sooner. This particular sealer is so easy to use with just three buttons. It comes with a sample set of two different sized bags, but if you want to buy your own supply of sealer bags you get go the economical route of buying a roll. This allows you to cut the bags to the size you need (a cutting tool is provided), use the seal only function to seal one end, then use the vacuum/seal function for the other end after putting your food in it. I appreciate the option of stopping the vacuum process before it's completely vacuumed...this allows you to vacuum/seal breads without them becoming compressed/squished. For example, the first time I sealed a left-over slice of pizza I let it go the full cycle of vacuuming the bag and my crust was completely compressed. The next time I stopped the vacuum process once it had removed the excess air from the bag but before it removed the air from the crust, and this was perfect. I highly recommend this product!
PatB : Cost saving, makes life easy solution
We're used to making big meals (3 teenage boys) but now two are away at school. Lots of benefits to still making big meals but needed an efficient way to divvy up and store the leftovers. This is it! Beef stew, pulled pork and chicken, ground beef, fresh fruits, you name it this prepares it for freezing/storage. I cut the big bags/make my own using just the seal function then I separate foods into serving size portions, vacuum, seal and freeze. So easy to thaw/prepare only what you need only when you need it. Has reduced the amount of actual cooking I've had to do. Allows for much longer storage in the freezer with no freezer burn. Highly recommend.
Bookish : Updated 1-Star Review
Updated Review:
After leaving a 1 star review, the seller contacted me and asked to send me a (free) replacement machine if I would re-evaluate the product's performance. The new machine is A LOT better! It's honestly like a completely different product. The suction is very good, a lot better than my other (cheaper) vacuum sealer.
I vac/sealed 3 vacuum seal bags with no problems or issues (1 moist and 2 dry). I then tried vac/sealing mylar bags of rice and (quite surprisingly) I didn't have any issues there either! I double seal, and sometimes triple seal, my mylar bags just to be on the safe side since they are for storing food for more than 20 years.
I'll try and remember to update in a year and let you know how the machine stands up to time.
Original One-Star Review:
I was excited to get this as it was my first, very own vacuum sealer for my new home. I've used plenty of them through the years, so I know how they work and what to do. I tried to seal 5 items with this machine the day it was delivered. The first bag went okay, it took awhile for it to suction but it did remove the air and sealed it. Bags 2-5 were all failures. It would either suck all the air out and then fail to seal the bag or it would suck all the air, the vacuum suction would stop, and air would seep into the bag right before the machine sealed the bag.
It's not user error, I've used these machines for years with no issues and I even broke out the instructions booklet to insure I was in fact doing everything correctly. I also had my boyfriend attempt to seal a couple bags and he couldn't get it to work either. I returned this product.

Ralph : Fantastic! Top quality vacuum sealer machine!
Unfortunately I can only upload 1 video per review, so I uploaded this video today 05/22/2021 because it's better than the one previously uploaded.
PlantsGalore : Quick and Easy
I have to say I have been overdue for a new food sealer. I used to have to put ALL my weight on it, to latch it. I have lot of health issues and nerve damage in my hands, so to have some ease using a sealer is great.THIS ONE Is SO easy to use, and the little cutter that is tucked inside is really helpfull as well. I have used the sealer at least 30 times already, and no problems.
Tquinlan86 : VERY happy with this purchase and so EASY to use.
I've been wanting a vacuum sealer for a long time now, but just didn't know what one would be good. After looking online trying to find one that is in my price range and would be good for my daily needs, I finally came across this one. It is very affordable and came quickly after I ordered it. It looks to be very well made and I couldn't wait to try it. It came with the instruction manual which was very easy to follow for someone that's never used a sealer before. Now that I have it and even showed my mom, she is ready to make a purchase since the one she had is old. I'm definitely gonna have to stock up on more bags so I can stock my freezer. :) I would definitely order another one of these if I needed to.
Mark Hendrickson : Looks great, great value
Just received my vacuum sealer. Have not yet used it but anticipate it working great.
Now after having used it several times I can report that it works great. I had two early vacuum sealers, foodsavers, when they were first introduced many years ago. My experience was that they failed to seal, you could usually get an adequate seal on the bottom of the roll cut bag, but getting any sort of seal that held on the open end was nearly always problematic. This new sealer does the job. It can seal without fail. I could not be happier with my purchase.
I vacuums the bag quickly and seals without fail, even when there is liquid in the way. If you can't afford a chamber vac, this is the greatest value for your money.

Beaglemom : Locking mechanism is hard to engage
Once i got the hang of it I got it to work well. First, I am 70 and things are more difficult for me. I did view many videos on Youtube. My top gripe is how hard it is to get the side locks engaged to start it. Second, cutting the bags (which
come on a roll and have to be individually cut. I am using a cutting board and lining the bag up and cutting with scissors and this makes a clean straight cut. Don't try to freehand it. I see some of the sealers have built in cutters. I did mess up a few of the first ones. I would say to go to Youtube and watch some videos until you get a handle on how it works. I have done some veggies just to put in the frig (a tomato and a pepper)as an experiment. It would be nice to seal tomatos and have them keep for a long time in the frig. I do them individually and don't wash them but just clean them off if they have any debris or film on them. Time will tell. If this works well it will save some money by preserving my garden vegs.

D.C. : Well worth the money!
Very happy with this vacuum sealer. It has had no failed seals at all and I have used it a lot so far since I bought it on both dry and moist items. The bags that came with it worked great and the only complaint I have is the instruction manual is very vague but it is very easy to figure out without the manual. All you have to do is bag up your items and line it up in the machine and make sure that the lid is locked in on both sides and then select the vacuum seal button and it does the rest. Very user friendly and well worth the money because we buy a lot of bulk food and this really helps make it last longer.

KJ : Great Machine for the Price
I had purchased a different more costly product prior to this purchase falsely assuming that the more expensive the better the product. As it turned out, it was defective (Food Saver V4840)/(the auto suction does not work!) I returned it to Amazon seamlessly and thought to purchase a less expensive one to see if there really was a difference. I purchase the Koios and it worked like a charm the first time. The second time I couldn't get the auto sealer to work but after speaking to their great customer service department I will be getting a replacement model. It's possible it may have been defective but the speed and willingness of the customer service department to take care of me was an exceptional experience. Their warranty is long + I purchased an Assurian warranty as well. I would have purchased another one their products because it is that simple to use w/o out the fancy gimmickry that is subject to fail. I need it to do two things: vacuum and seal and I'm confident my replacement will do just that.
chris : good for now.
good product, i use it to keep food fresh and prep food to freeze. I feel the build quality could be an issue later down the road because the clamps or locking mechanism feel a bit flimsy.
That One Blonde : Great for the price
I read the reviews of machines over $100 and ones that were $30 and ended up going with this one. They're all made in China anyway so what's the difference? I butchered my own chickens this year and wanted a way to package them better for the freezer instead of using ziploc bags. This little unit does a pretty good job. My only complaint, and something I found to be able to remedy, was the sealing capability was trash when there's even a hint of moisture at the heat strip. A few times I ran it as normal but then did another suction and seal a few inches after the first one to guarantee the closure. Overall it's not a bad little unit and I used it to package over 100lbs of fresh chicken, and have used it after several trips to the store.
Vir Cotto : Fine - until it stopped working
The machine is pretty minimal and it worked as expected for two years - nothing special. Over the last couple of months it slowly started not switching to "seal" mode at the end of the vacuum process. Would just keep running until it timed out and didn't engage the sealing. The seal works manually. The gaskets were all cleaned and free of any liquid or solids. Not worth the money. Buying a more robust and higher quality machine as a replacement. It received relatively light use (couple times a week at most).
Simply Life : Disappointed.
I was so excited to purchase this item. I tried it out the day I received it. It worked great for three times and then it quit sealing. I thought I over did it, so I quit using it for about an hour and when back to try again. It still wouldn't seal. It would cut the plastic but that was it. I hated it quit working. The return was easy and I got my money back really quickly.

LL : Great vacuum sealer! Bonus slicer and air tube! Love it!
I got this vacuum sealer because it had 80Kpa (for us Americans, this is 11.603 PSI) of suction. It performs very well and I have sealed many fruits/veggies/nut bags with it. It comes with a neat slicer to cut bags to custom sizes and an air tube to vacuum seal containers (containers purchased separately). Also, the customer service was very responsive when I asked them a few questions about containers.
Michelle McRoberts : Amazing and affordable
My family and I have always bought our meat in bulk and just lut it in a ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer. A month later the meat was freezer burnt. My wife said to find a vacuum sealer. I did some reading up and there were tons of great reviews for this product and was very affordable. After 30Lbs of beef and 20lbs of chicken i will never give this product up. My wife calls it my new favorite toy.
Sam I Am : Great features/great price
I have been using vacuum sealing systems for years. My first was in the late 70s and it was called Daisey something. I had been using Foodsaver systems, but decided I wanted to try something less expensive. I chose this model during Amazon days in July and got pretty good deal. I have used it to vacuum pack dehydrated veggies and fruit, citric acid (which I buy in bulk for canning), and meat. I have also used it to vacuum pack items in half gallon and quart jars like tortilla chips (bought in bulk at Costco), flour, and coffee beans. So far this item has performed very well. My only concern is that I have to press buttons on the side of the unit for it to work properly. I can see those breaking over time. We will see.
Teresa Barnett : This is nice and does the job!
My super expensive one quit working so I snagged this up as a more cost effective option. It does not have all the same options and attachments (I rarely used those anyway), but it works well and gets the job done! It also comes with some bags to get you started. At this price, it is well worth it.
Haley Wakefield : Don't get it wet...
This is an awesome product for my Whole30 Meal Prepping! We were able to prep a TON of things and put them in the freezer in order to be most successful on this restriction diet. But, don't try to seal anything with a lot of juices, or it will stop the sealer! We sealed some raw beef, and the bloody juices got sucked into the sealer. I would suggest freezing the items first on a plate in the freezer, then put it in the sealing bags to vacuum.
Chey : works great!
This sealer works great, exactly what I needed to preserve my harvest from the garden and seal food in the deep freezer. to keep it fresh. This company has great customer service, if you have any issues contact them and they will help you right away.
Trevor Most : Great Sealer With Options
I was EXTREMELY impressed with this vacuum sealer! As a past user of a much more popular brand (FS), I stopped using that brand due to a lack of sealing ability. I decided to give it another shot with a different brand worth good reviews..... Needless to say, I am back in the vacuum sealing mode for bulk purchases! This sealer will seal wet or dry & has additive locking latches which my previous brand did not. Definitely an upgrade in my opinion! I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to have a high quality sealer with full functionality and better performance than the other brands. Definitely a satisfied customer here
Art Adams : What?! You don't have one of these??
I purchase food in bulk, meats, grains etc This thing is perfect for that. Vacuum sealed food keep longer and taste fresher than the old wrap in plastic wrap and pray it doesn't freezer burn. This will keep your food fresher longer period. I have even put items in the kids school lunches with this. I buy 25lbs of ground beef separate it into 2lb parts and vacuum seal all of it. Fish - forget about it, it lasts forever. I sealed salmon from Alaska fishing trip and forgot about it in the freezer, pulled it out 2 years later though - it's bad. Long story short, it was some of the best tasting salmon I ever had. Don't be skeptical about this purchase it will return the money spent in less wasted food. If you Sous Vide, it's a must.

GiosHS : Very pleased with this vacuum sealer! Definitely recommend it.
With the pandemic and concerns about being able to get supplies, I started buying some items in bulk and wanted to be able to store them so they would retain freshness, especially meats that can easily get freezer burn. I read a lot of reviews on sealers and was having a hard time deciding which to get. I was not sure if I needed to get a large one for power, but I did not want something really big that I would use infrequently since then it would be taking up space on my counter or sitting in storage where I would not want to go through the hassle of getting it out to seal a small number of items. I was also wary of what I heard was a high volume of fake or purchased reviews by sellers.
I took the dive on the Koios last May and have been really happy with it. It does not have a big footprint or take up space, so I can store it when not in use and easily get it out even for one or two quick seals, and it works great!
I have used it for dry items (rice, nuts, popcorn), for meats, and for wet items (we prep and freeze a year's worth of hatch chilis every year) - anything I want to keep fresh longer. The process works smoothly and quickly. I buy meat in larger, less expensive quantities and then vacuum seal and freeze smaller sizes. It is easy to take out a bag of frozen chicken, for example, throw the bag as is into water with a sous vides while I go back to work, and it comes out ready to eat with no further effort! If I want to prepare it in a different way, I take it out the night before and it defrosts in the fridge without dripping all over the shelf. And the best thing is that meat not only stays high quality in the freezer, it no longer gets freezer burn. Everything I have sealed has stayed sealed with no air leakage.
I waited to write a review until enough time had passed to really give it a workout and I have no reservations in recommending it.

Miguel Etheridge : Works well and seems to be a good value.
We have just received this unit today and have only used it once just to see how well it worked.
I like this product but it could be improved by adding the following. A built in cutter a bag roll holder and a removable cleaning tray as my old unit had and it needs better foot pads to hold the unit in place while using. We're also a little concerned with the amount of pressure required to lock the unit down. All that said the unit seems to work well and we hope it's durable. The price for the unit is better I expected.

Mickey C : Low End Chinese Product
This unit suffered a catastrophic failure at just one year. I called the manufacturer and they seem polite enough. After several back-and-forth emails they agree to send a replacement. Months later the replacement has yet to arrive. Sent a second email and was treated politely again. Assured that I would receive a replacement in 4 to 6 days. Never happened!
The motor engages but the unit fails to draw any sort of vacuum. They asked me to send them a video and I did of the unit malfunctioning. I have since ordered a food saver and I highly recommend that others do likewise. This unit is definitely not for the long-haul.
On a separate note, it seems odd that Amazon is unwilling to entertain product assessments that detail the failures of the seller as far as replacing the product in question, follow up emails and general business ethics. I wonder why that is?.

Marissa Ivy : Great looking and compact though not as powerful as some larger vacuum sealers
I am happy with this vacuum sealer overall though wish it pulled more of a vacuum. This is great looking and doesn't take up much space on the counter though it is not sealing as well as the larger unit I had used for years. The bags don't "shrink" around the item as tightly making it appear that it may not be preserving the item as well so perhaps the item's life in the freezer may not be as strong. I had hoped to replace my larger one with this one though for bigger projects where I need to be sure it's truly pulling a strong vacuum or to do a number of items in succession--it looks as if I'll be keeping the other one, as well.
Robert B. : 5-Star Product
This vacuum sealer is a five star product and I highly recommend it. It is simple to use, comes with bags so you can use it immediately and did a great job sealing my freshly smoked salmon. It even comes with a cutter so you can make your own sized bags and an extra gasket as a just in case. The price was very reasonable and I would recommend this to a friend.
How I review:
When I review a product said product automatically starts with four stars as I rarely will purchase anything below four stars. I then add and/subtract stars based on certain criteria as listed below.
1. If an item is exactly what I expected and nothing more it will receive a four star rating
2. If an item surpasses my expectations it will gain a star (5 Stars)
3. If an item goes slightly below my expectations it will lose a star (3 Stars)
4. If the instructions for the product (if needed) are poorly written (hard to understand due to language issues or grammar) or just too hard to follow it will lose a star no matter if the product meets or exceed my expectations
5. If a product is significantly below my expectations I will deduct two stars
6. It will be rare that I would give a product one star since I buy mostly items that have a 4+ rating but in rare instances there may be a good reason that even a four star product receives a one star rating from me. It could be because of customer service issues from the company but whatever the case is I will clearly explain my reason for giving a product only one star
