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:
is there a better user manual? I don't know how to use the tube thing.....

Answer: I bought sealer as a gift , sorry do not know.. lady is very happy with sealer

Answer: I have always taken my meats out of the store packing before sealing.

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.

Answer: Yes, I believe so.

Q:
what is the clear tube with tan plugs at each end?
Answer: The clear tube is used to plug into vacuum sealing containers. Do a search for... FoodSaver Vacuum Seal Quick Marinator, 2.25 Quarts. That's a good example. If you go to the list of photos on the left you'll see how it is used on the 2nd photo down.
Q:
What’s the tube for? There’s nothing in the box that indicates where it goes, what it does.
Answer: The tube is for vacuum containers. It plugs into

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.

Answer: I don't know why you couldn't but you would need the type of lid that will accommodate the vacuum's tubing. I think you can purchase special lids but I haven't tried that feature yet and don't have any lids that would work.

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:
can it be used on mylar bags
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I have never tried to seal Mylar bags but it does work on most bags including potato chip bags. Check their website as they are very prompt in answering questions. It's an excellent value for the price and quality.
Answer: I have never tried to seal Mylar bags.

what is the composition of the plastic used for the bags? ... BPA free ?

Joshua A. Lake : Lasted about 2.5 years
Used this for 2.5 years before it would no longer suck out the air. I would consider myself a light duty user, occasional leftovers and meat sealing when purchasing bulk packs of raw meat. I've purchased several of these suction type sealers over the last decade, which all seem to have about the same lifespan. I'm tired of purchasing these things every few years and am going to upgrade to a chamber style sealer. Hoping for a longer lifespan...
pmsantafe : Good product for the money
This is a good machine for the price. The instructions are not clear at all & this was my first food seal system so I wasn't familiar. After some practice, easy enough to figure out but reading thru instructions 1st time - not clear. I bought this to vacuum seal a lot of fresh roasted green chile that we do every year. I put the suction on moist and it worked fine for 3-4 times but then no suction. Had to wait 5 minutes & then it would do maybe 2 more & then not. Wait 5 minutes and then it would do 2 bags and stop again. I had to do about 40 bags so that was probably more than it was designed for - not sure. When it suctioned right - it did a good job. I'm sure if I bought one for a lot more money (more than $100) then they probably would do more at a time. For this price, I feel it was a good deal and did the job. Just can't do a lot of moist vacuum sealing one right after the other but if you only have a few things at a time - works fine. Otherwise, just plan on waiting up to 5 minutes between vacuum seals.
I would recommend - good for the price - compact as well.

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.
Michael Molinaro : Poor design and performance
Did not seal automatically about half the time. Suction was low so it took a long time to evacuate the air from the bag before it could attempt to seal it. In most cases the bags needed to be sealed manually after the vacuum did not automatically switch to the seal mode.
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.
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.
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 .
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.

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!
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.

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.
Sam : Great Vacuum Sealer
Reliable and easy-to-use vacuum sealer for extending the freshness of food. It comes with all needed accessories, including an extra rubber strip. As mentioned earlier, it’s very simple to use, no complicated setup nor a plethora of options. Just place the bag, close the lid and press seal or vacuum seal and voila! Now, you can save that slice of pizza for an additional week. PS: The suction power is really great. I initially tried to vacuum seal a piece of banana as a test and it kind of mushed it inside the bag.
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.
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!
Resume Ryan : Worth the Additional Investment, Works Like a Boss
I had taken the full tour of discount vacuum food sealers, trying 6 others before finally realizing I needed to pay a little more to get the quality I wanted and expected. I have used the product for almost a month and it works flawlessly. I've used it mainly for meat, but also some vegetables. It's super simple, surprisingly quiet by comparison to the competition, and makes a great seal. What I like the best is it keeps the vacuum pressure going while it seals so that no air is allowed to creep back in, ensuring a tight vacuum seal. My only complaint, and it's nitpicky, is that it reverts back to "dry" food mode every time it's unplugged. Other than that, it might be a little more expensive, but it is definitely worth it.

Advait Apte : Perfect food sealer every kitchen needs!
This is a lightweight vacuum sealer that sits nicely on your kitchen top and is ready for sealing food. It comes with 10 starter bags of two different sizes and can be used for either dry or wet foods. The sealing mechanism is perfect, be careful not to touch the hot surface after finishing. A nicely tucked away cutter is stored inside a which can be used to cut the storage bag to desired size. Though it works fine, I would prefer an integrated cutter as part of the sealing mechanism. There is a cord management space at the bottom which allows clutter free storage of the power cord. The bags are sealed very well and I observed no leaks. The bags need to be bought separately once you exhaust the ones that came with it. I like the vacuum sealer for food storage purpose.
Drew : Dissapointed and returning
B.J. : quiet small works great will order again if needed customer servive very suppotive.
I had a different kind before so this one is different was surprised so of course so settings meant different things. Very easy to use but it did pull too much fluid and had a hard time sealing but I was filling it to full. I need to experiment and get all settings for the things I usually use it for. I love it , it is so quiet you can actually hear. and so small but seals as good as the great big one. good suction power that was probably better. Very impressed with it. will spread the word. the company seems to be great. full year warranty. which is very rare unless you pay. you will not be disappointed.

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!

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
Tmarie : Would not buy again.
I was sad when my food saver burnt out, so I needed another vacuum sealer that wasn't $200. First off it takes forever...... to seal anything! When I got it to work right I sealed a bunch of meats and stored in my freezer. When I pull them out later about 1/3 of bags were not vacuumed anymore and had air in them. ???? the bags it comes with are not real thick and feel cheap. But I guess that's what you get for only spending $65
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.
Dlee : It does what it should effortlessly
It will do the job nicely. Vacuums and/or seals with just the light touch of a button that is lit to tell you it is working. It does not get any easier than that. Line the bag up correctly and be amazed at how well it seals to keep the food in the best frozen condition. Simple and straight forward printed directions accompany the product in the box but you can also download the manual if that is your preference. I bought this to replace a broken high end model and current prices made it anything but a bargain so I went looking and found this treasure.
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.
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.
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.
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).

Goinbigger : Works as intended.
Was sceptical of some of the reviews when I saw they were offering free products in exchange for positive reviews. I intentionally did not submit a review until I had a chance to use it a few times with a variety of stuff and did not submit for any free products. I've done 10 lbs. of coffee beans, ~30lbs. of ground beef, bunch of veggies, some small med kits for camping and a few other small things. Also used the included vac bags and some other stuff that comes on a roll. Both seem to work equally well.
I haven't had a single problem with the machine. A couple user errors like getting a coffee bean between the top and bottom so it wouldn't hold a vacuum. However the machine just won't seal until it can hold the vacuum. That's a nice feature. Vacuum is very strong. My bags of coffee beans are hard as a rock. Everything I've tried has worked very well.
I've read a few reviews stating it pulls liquids into the machine. Think about this for a moment folks. You are pulling a strong vaccine on a liquid. Of course it will pull a liquid into the machine. Have you never used a straw? You can't exactly vacuum seal a soup in a bag and expect it to not pull liquid into the machine. Face meet palm.
I have done some fairly moist veggies and fruits and had no issues. So I can only assume people are trying to vacuum seal liquids. My hope in society is dwindling. If you want to do liquids, they make vacuum containers exactly for that purpose. I haven't tried that yet but might in the future.
Use it as intended and it has worked well so far. Can't really comment on longevity as I've only had it a short while. At this point I feel it's a very good machine for the price.

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.

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.
AC : Great!
I ordered this after my third food saver stopped working. It had great reviews and thought I would give it a try. I am a bulk cooker. So I use it all day long and then don't use it again until about 6 months later. My first time using it I bagged 2 whole chickens, 6 chicken breast and 30 hamburger patties. This worked flawless ! It is easier to use than my last one, has better suction and seals better! I'm sold!! Takes up less room in my pantry too. I bought 2 by mistake but I'm keeping the other one for backup and because the price was so good! Also comes with an extra seal, very nice.
Simply Life : Disappointed.

Drew : Dissapointed and returning
Joshua A. Lake : Lasted about 2.5 years
Used this for 2.5 years before it would no longer suck out the air. I would consider myself a light duty user, occasional leftovers and meat sealing when purchasing bulk packs of raw meat. I've purchased several of these suction type sealers over the last decade, which all seem to have about the same lifespan. I'm tired of purchasing these things every few years and am going to upgrade to a chamber style sealer. Hoping for a longer lifespan...
Lisa S : Took a chance and I'm really happy
After reading reviews I thought I would give this version a shot over the main brand. I love it. It works really well and has sealed perfectly every time. I have had it almost 4 months and use it multiple times a week. It has done a great job or pulling the air out and nothing has gotten freezer burn. The only bad thing is to lock it you have to push down pretty hard on the 2 sides. This can be kinda hard to do alone if I am holding a heavy bag of something liquidly, like spaghetti sauce. I can do it alone but I usually just ask a kid for help.
Melissa D : Love it! Everything I was hoping for!
I’m SO glad I decided to purchase THIS vacuum sealer! After reading tons of reviews and nearly paying 3x more for the “name brand” one, I just took a leap of faith & I'm so happy I did! This machine is easy to use straight out of the box, seals beautifully and is everything I hoped it would be! I only wish they would have included a roll of make your own bag (they did include 5 Qt size and 5 Gallon size premade bags) because I was so excited to seal EVERYTHING! Thankfully I had ordered some rolls at the same time but they came a day later! No biggie! Either way... JUST BUY IT! You can thank me later! ????

R. Wallace : Good value sealer, but annoying request for 5-star review
After receiving repeating emails from the seller offering me a free 4k action camera in exchange for a 5-star review, I thought I'd write a 4-star review and make readers aware that all 5-star reviews for this product are suspect. I'm sure most are honest, but all are suspect due to the actions of the seller.
Nevertheless, here's my experience with and review of the KOIOS VS2233:
This is a very decent vacuum sealer, especially for the price. I have been using it almost daily since I purchased it - mostly for sous vide cooking, but also for packaging food for freezer storage. I typically use it with FoodSaver brand bag rolls (I have a bunch), but have used it with "heavy-duty" bag rolls, too.
There are features I would have preferred to see, but they're reserved for the higher-priced KOIOS model. I'd have liked to see a removable vacuum tray to make cleaning easier. I'd have also liked an "inching" or manual vacuum function, but that can be roughly simulated by starting and stopping the Vacuum&Seal operation. None of this is a surprise and didn't affect my rating; I knew these features were not on this model.
BTW, I have not used it to seal "chip" bags. Honestly, binder clips work very well for that task and are readily available from the office. ;)
I do have a few specific gripes about the VS2233:
The Vacuum&Seal (auto seal) function continues sucking on a vacuum long after all air has been removed. Eventually it's satisfied and seals the bag. I don't know if the lengthy suck session indicates a poorly adjusted sensor or if it just cuts off after a fixed time, but it's annoying. When it does this, I usually jut press the manual Seal button to stop the vacuum and immediately seal the bag.
Another minor complaint I have is the excessive grip strength needed to latch the lid. I find I often have to grip the front corners and squeeze fairly hard to get both sides to latch. And while the release is very easy with the two side buttons, I worry about eventual wear on the latches.
Things I like:
In general, it works well. I found it to be a good value - worth the money.
It wasn't broken on arrival; it was brand new and wasn't soiled or used - a plus. These conditions are expected but are not always a given, even when "Fulfilled by Amazon." [I once bought a "new" rice cooker here, FBA, that arrived filthy and with cooked rice still in the bowl.]
In particular, I liked:
The heat-sealer part worked very well. It powered through a bit of water on the bag without problems, even on Dry food mode. It also sealed the slightly thicker "heavy-duty" bags that two of my previous vacuum sealers had real problems with. Examination of the seals made by the VS2233 showed a wide, uniform seal across the entire length of the bag.
I first thought the little cutter included with and stored in a slot in the sealer was a bit of a gimmick. Just use scissors to cut the bags, right? But I found the cutter to be convenient and practical. I also get straighter and cleaner cuts with it than with scissors for some reason.
The vacuum motor is certainly strong enough (and loud enough) to draw a good vacuum and it does a fine job. Other sealers I've owned would cut off the motor automatically before I was truly satisfied. This one is more satisfying - possibly related to that vacuum sensor adjustment I complained about earlier.
Overall, I really like this vacuum sealer. I've gone through a couple of other "value" sealers that didn't work very well, or for very long. I'm glad I found this one - it works as I would expect and it appears sturdy enough to last. I'll know for sure in a few more months.

Overall, I really like this vacuum sealer. I've gone through a couple of other "value" sealers that didn't work very well, or for very long. I'm glad I found this one - it works as I would expect and it appears sturdy enough to last. I'll know for sure in a few more months.
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.
S. Mullis : Dealing garden and orchard produce is no problem with this!
Have used this for two months. Very pleased with it's performance. I have pushed it to its limits. As other reviewers state, very wet product gives you some issues. I am dealing fresh fruit now, and I run it on dry, watch for signs of the juices moving up to the dealing area, then force the manual seal to deal before the juice interrupts the heat dealer and leaves you with a partial seal.
Also if you are breading sliced veggies to vacuum seal, bread in a separate container, then place the veggies in your dealing bag to prevent dust from interfering with the seal.
Very very pleased with the vacuum sealer. It is easy to use, simple to clean, stable and sturdy.

Tori : Does not vacuum or seal.
We bought this because of the amazing reviews it received, but the product did not live up to the reviews. We recently bought a bunch of fresh meat and wanted to portion it out into smaller serving sizes now that there are just two people in the house. We started trying to vacuum seal the meat and it took us multiple attempts to get the machine to actually vacuum and seal the bags. Sometimes, it would only partially vacuum. Other times, it would not vacuum seal at all. The machine would run and seal itself, but not remove the air from the bag. For every one successful vacuum and seal, we had 3-4 failures. We followed all the instructions and even went through all the troubleshooting steps we found online, but nothing seemed to help. We also could not find one specific technique that worked. It just seemed completely random as to whether or not it would work. I would not recommend this product. Additionally, it took some significant pressure to even close the machine for sealing. If you needed to seal a number of bags, it could get really difficult.
Randy I. : The vacuum seal setting did not work.
I bought this machine in November to give as a gift in March. Now, I CANNOT return it. It had already been opened as evidenced by the machine itself didn't have the plastic wrap around it. When my daughter tried to use it, the vacuum/seal setting made the sound as if it were working. Some of the air was vacuumed out BUT the seal did not take.

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.
Javonte Hawkins : Beautiful machine
Love it
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.

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.
