- Save Money And Time: Cooking and meal preparation is now easier, more economical and faster, as you will be able to equip and organize your freezer, with fresh food ready to be defrosted and served or fresh ingredients instead of freezer burned food filled with ice crystals which will probably end up in the trash can.
- Couldn’t Be Easier: Fully automatic simple electric plug in design with the control center placed on the top panel and soft touch digital buttons along with led indicator lights. A smart device at your family’s service!
- Dual Sealing Modes: Useful and practical, the Mueller vacuum sealing system is cleverly designed HAVING two selectable modes to provide your food with the best possible preservation based on the type of food you want to seal. You can choose the dry setting for solid food items and the moist setting for poached, simmered or steamed food.
- Trusted Mueller Quality Lab Tested: Vacuum sealers preserve food up to 5 times longer than zipper baggies or containers, basically depending on the type of food. The Mueller Vacuum Sealer however, was subjected to harsh laboratory testing to effectively increase food shelf life and keep doing so for years to come.
- Everything You Need Right Out Of The Box: Along with the vacuum sealer and the air suction hose, the Mueller vacuum sealer package also includes: 5 medium vacuum bags (7.8” x 11.8”) and one extra-long vacuum bag roll (7.8” x 79.0”), both kinds being reusable and waterproof. A complete bundle right out of the box.
This fits your .
product description
The Mueller Vacuum sealer preserves food by blocking the growth of mold, fungus and bacteria which are responsible not only for ruining the food taste, appearance and texture, but for serious illnesses as well. Why have big lumps of uneven frozen blocks or half-full food containers that take up a lot of freezer space, when you can neatly stack air tight bags on top of each other? When you are on a predetermined meal daily basis, This Vacuum sealer will be a life savior, as you can prepare your meals, seal them and freeze them, saving you time and effort. Ideal for baby food preparation too, especially for working parents with limited free time. This Vacuum sealer is made of durable engineered ABS and through the high power suction element and heat sealing, you can store your food in strong air tight bags. Lightweight and compact, this Vacuum sealing system can be placed on any kitchen, table or counter top. Its stain resistant Housing will not absorb accidental spills, and it is really easy to wipe it clean. Use it to reseal wine, oil and vinegar too. Once the seal is broken, shelf life of most liquids dramatically drops. Seal your kids’ chips bags or snacks that will become stale and soggy if the package is left opened. You can also use your vacuum sealer to keep corrosion away from jewelry, as the Vacuum will preserve them shiny and polished.

Questions about Vacuum Sealer Machine By Mueller | Automatic Vacuum Air Sealing System For Food Preservation & Sous Vide w/Starter Kit | Compact Design | Lab Tested | Dry & Moist Food Modes | Led Indicator Lights
Q:
Does this have the option of heat sealing without having to run the vacuum? For the purpose of making bags from rolls. My current unit only does both.
Answer: Yes absolutely. I made the silly mistake of sealing a loaf of freshly baked bread. Unfortunately I pressed the vacuum button and it quickly turned into Pita Bread. After that I used the seal button with perfect results.
Answer: Yes, you can heat seal the bags without the vacuum.
Answer: Yes it does. I really like this unit it works hreat
Answer: Yes, it does both. It also has a 'wet' and 'gentle' setting.
Q:
Can bags from other vacuum machines work with this product?
Answer: Yes. Any vacuum sealer bags will work.
Answer: Not necessarily. This machine did not work with my FoodSaver bags.
Answer: What brand of bags work best
Answer: Wevac Bags did not work with this unit!
Answer: Other bags will work not all bags will work tho. With 5ml bags it does not create enough suction.
Answer: I am using Weston Sousvide bags and it works perfectly!
Q:
can it be used for sous vide cooking?
Answer: Yes, but be sure to use the vacuum seal type bags/rolls. Other plastics may not seal well, hold up well in the sous vide bath, or may give off noxious or toxic gases while cooking.
Answer: It should be able to. Most vacuum bag sealer machines work for sealing food in plastic prior to cooking with a sous vide machine.
Answer: Yes, it works great for that.
Q:
In what country is this made?
Answer: Amazon states "Manufacturer: Mueller Austria" (which is why I bought this one), but I see the dreaded letters in small print under the box : "Made in P.R.C." = probably really crap. Seems like deceptive advertising to me. A real shame. I'll be sending back "as is".
Answer: It is made in China (as are most "American" appliances, as well), to very exacting Austrian engineering standards.
Answer: Mine says “Made in China” on the box. It works great!
Answer: Chinese garbage, don't be fooled by the label
Answer: Definitely China
Answer: Made in China
Answer: China
Answer: Austria
Q:
does it come with a bag cutter?
Answer: No. For the roll of bags you would use scissors to cut to the size you need.
Q:
One of the reviews states that the directions say you should wait 5 minutes between sealing bags. Is this true?
Answer: The only thing I see in the manual about waiting 5 minutes refers to the bag melting.
Answer: I just received mine today, and was worried about this after seeing your queston. But the manual says, "Intervals of up to 40 seconds are recommended after sealing to prevent overheating of the machine." Thank goodness, because a 5-minute interval would have been a dealbreaker.
Answer: We haven’t waited that long. Granted, we only do one or two bags at a time. It does get hot (so it can seal), but we’ve only waited a minute or two, since it’s cool by then.
Answer: I never have, personally.
Q:
Can I use 8" wide bags?
Answer: Yes. You could use up to 10 inch wide bags.
Q:
Are the bags BPA free?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Does it come with a warranty?
Answer: It comes with a 2 year limited warranty and the customer service is amazing. I had an issue after 7.5 months and they addressed everything perfectly.
Answer: Purchased it for my daughter, not sure. I would think it has a 1 year. You can email seller and ask.
Answer: 1 year. I purchased 3 year plan for $10
Answer: Yes. I think it is one year. Not sure.
Q:
what bags does it use?
Answer: It comes with some bags and a roll which I'm still using. They're 4mil thick. I would think any 4 mil bag or roll but probably not ones 5 mil thick. My machine struggled with sealing wet contents with one round of sealing it took a second seal cycle to seal the bags well. Thicker bags would be harder to seal.
Answer: I bought the "generic" bags sold by Wevac on Amazon that said they were compatible with many brands. They work fine.
Answer: It came with the bags
Answer: I've used all brands, they all work very well in this machine, seal great.
Answer: You can use different brands and they work good
Q:
Where is a link to purchase the canisters that you can use the airhose for?? The instructions say they are sold separately yet i can not find one.

Q:
where is it shipped from?
Answer: I’m sure. Made in china
Q:
Will this item be back in stock?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Will this work with 11" bag roll?
Answer: It appears that it will
Q:
Any special bags to be used with this machine?
Answer: No special bags are needed. I just ordered some generic bags.
Answer: I've used two different bags other than what came with the machine and they worked just as well.
Answer: You can use the standard vac seal bags.
Answer: all the generic ones that says vacuum sealer bags should work
Answer: Yes, vac bags
Answer: I use different kinds they seem to work fine for me
Q:
how many consecutive seal bags you can do
Answer: It will do as many as you want, you just have to wait a few seconds in between each one (which is no big deal) so that the machine doesn't overheat. I really like this vacuum sealer. It works great!!! Would highly recommend it to anyone.
Q:
When will this be available to purchase again??
Answer: I would never order again only worked for one seal
Q:
Is there a way to heat seal the top of a mylar bag with this unit?
Answer: Not sure if that would work, mylar may need more heat to seal than regular food storage bags.
Q:
Were do i get replace bags. the replace bags i got was channeled on one side/smooth on the other side. no work as good as the ones that came with unit
Answer: I'm not sure where your replacement bags came from. I use the regular FoodSaver bags (it's a brand and are available in many stores) and they work as good or better than the ones that came in the unit. They are available on Amazon. Just search under "FoodSaver bags".
Answer: I buy “Out of Air” bags. They are also smooth on one side but patterned on the other side. They work great for me.
Answer: There are several listed on Amazon. Look at the ratings and read the reviews. I have used different ones and all have worked well.
Answer: The Wevac brand bags worked well for me. Purchased them on Amazon.
Answer: I ordered them from Amazon
Q:
Wanting to buy more bags or a roll , which brand off of amazon worked best for you?
Answer: Hi I purchased simple houseware 2Pac vacuum bags. 8“ x 50‘ long each roll. They work fantastic and never had one that never sealed correctly. Just make sure your seal light goes off before you open the device.
Answer: I purchased the wevac 8”x 50 foot roll 2 pack. 8 in is the widest bag that will work without double sealing.
Q:
Hi we bought 2 of these by mistake a couple months ago but it shows in amazon orders that the return has been closed. Can I return 1?
Answer: I would say no since the return window has closed, but I would chat with customer service to see if there is anything they can do for you. Won't hurt to try, the worst case is they say no.
Q:
How long is the cord on his machine? Thanks!
Answer: The cord is approximately 40 inches
Answer: About 40".
Answer: Maybe three to four feet
Answer: 42 inches
Q:
I am baking several dozen cookies for use next week. I’d like to seal them with this unit. Will they break when unit pulls out air?
Answer: You can't just select the button you have to hit the vacuum button until it pulls are out around the cookies then you have to hit the stop button then the seal button
Answer: they will if you take all the air out, it will compact them into one cookie ball, but you don't need to remove all the air
Answer: There are two settings I think. Using the vaccum one might break the cookies. I'd try the other one.
Answer: If you do gentle/wet- it’s the softest vacuum. I think they should be ok unless they’re very tender cookies.
Answer: Understand; I just have it suck until it’s tight around the item then stop. By tight I mean snug. Yes, snug is a better description.
Answer: They shouldn’t. I’ve only used it to store smoked cheese since I bought it but so far it’s worked magnificently
Q:
Can it work at 220 Voltage ?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Is this compatible for singapore voltage 230v? thanks
Answer: Don’t buy this product it broke after 40 days of minimal use . Company doesn’t respond to emails or calls . Very disappointed with my purchase .
Q:
What is the power rated in voltage, the suction motor rated in watts and suction strength rated in l/min?
Answer: Power is not rated in volts. Power is amps multiplied by volts. P=IE. Power is also known as watts.
Answer: Don’t buy this product it broke after 40 days of minimal use . Company doesn’t respond to emails or calls . Very disappointed with my purchase .
Q:
Where do I buy the canisters to use with this machine?
Answer: I was never able to find “new” canisters eBay had used ones. Didn’t need them since the vacuum sealer only worked once. I only use it to reseal snack bags
Q:
Suction hose connects to what and where ?
Answer: The suction hose is an added extra that they give you in case you want to use that function. Requires additional purchase for sealing jars. It's not part of sealing bags.
Answer: The suction hose connector is on the inside and the button to start is right from the connector.
Answer: Lift the lid, it’s on right hand side. In tray area .
Answer: Also in book page 5 (D) it shows vaccume nozzle .
Q:
What is gentle mode?
Answer: Gentle Mode - You can manually control the degree of vacuum by pressing "Seal" button at any time, the food will be sealed automatically. If you are sealing vegetables or something you don't want crushed you use that setting.
Answer: It’s for items you don’t want to crush or have the bags leak too much liquid
Q:
If I fill a bag with chicken thighs and marinade, will the marinade get sucked into the vacuum?
Answer: Cut the bag 4" longer than the food. Raise the bag between the juicy food and the sealer - I drape it over the roll of bags or hang it over the counter edge - to discourage liquids from migrating toward the sealer.
Answer: If you use the vacuum seal mode it will. Know from experience
Answer: Yes. Use just sealing mode without vacuum.
Q:
So i used it once, i tried again right after that to do a 2nd package. it didnt work the 2nd time(literally not even 5 minutes later). help!!!???
Answer: Make sure that the bad does not cover/go over the vacuum nozzle. And then make sure that you a pressing the cover down hard enough to hear both latches click into place. It can take extra pressure especially if you are using heavier bags.
Answer: Did not work for me. I returned it
Q:
Can this unit hold up to doing a lot of work at once like my whole steer+ 450lbs?
Answer: Not a chance. The one I bought stopped working some time ago and I have only had it a few months.

Answer: In my experience both of mine started failing after 10 uses
Answer: NO!
Answer: No
Q:
What setting is recommend for steak (sous vide)? gentle/moist or airtight/moist?
Answer: Airtight/moist
Q:
How do you disinfect it?
Answer: There are several disinfectants on the market today to simply wash the removable catch tray and wipe down the rubber plastic seals. Not a problem.
Answer: I wipe throughly with lysol wipes, careful not to use too much water and being careful not to wipe wile it is still hot.
Q:
Does anyone know whether FoodSaver accessories can be used with this?
Answer: Yes... but I buy the less expensive bags off of Amazon
Q:
How many bags closes per minute? Should I let it rest every few sealed bags?
Answer: How many bags you do in a minute really depends on what you are doing with them. Sealing is very quick. Vacuum sealing takes longer and the size of he bag is a variable as well. I did a bunch of vacuum sealing the other day with no wait time in between.
Answer: The instructions say wait 40 sec. in between sealing
Q:
Is the sealing (drip) tray removable for cleaning?
Answer: yes, it works like a drip pan, it can be removed and washed by hand
Answer: Where is the drip pan on this machine?
Answer: No, but it is still a really good machine for the price

Q:
What is the inHg of this model?
Answer: nothing in the manual or the specifications on the bottom of the sealer give that information.
Q:
Can this use 11" long vacuum rolls? or will it only fit 7" rolls?
Answer: It will fit 11" vacuum rolls.
Answer: I wouldn’t buy this sealer mine broke after 40days of not very much use . It’s not a cheap item either. I’d buy some other brand . I’m just giving my honest opinion.
Answer: Yes you can. Also this is a great machine
Q:
What option do you use for sealing chicken and meats? Solid or moist?
Answer: I would probably use the solid. I believe the moist would be for things like fish. However, if you wanted to marinade the chicken, I see no reason you couldn't use moist so it don't squeeze it out. I hope this helps.
Answer: I used moist because the chicken juice gets sucked out
Answer: I use the moist setting
Q:
What vacuum seal containers are compatable?
Answer: I just ordered extra bags which should arrive today. I believe the size is standard.
Q:
Does everything have to be 'suction' sealed? Dont know how to ask the right question, can I seal a bag that leaves air in it after the seal
Answer: Yes you can. One way is to use the moist setting. the other way is just seal the bag like you do when using a roll of bag material. I hope this helps
Answer: i don't think so. the idea is to seal completely to avoid air inside the bags.
Answer: Not everything has to be vac sealed. The machine has a sealing function so that you can create bags.
Answer: absolutely. Many times I stop the vacuum before it is finished and press seal only. Also can seal without vacuum at all just by pressing seal.
Answer: Yes and there should not be any air after the seal
Q:
How wide is the sealing strip?
Answer: I just measured it at 11” absolute max but more like 10 1/2” on the safe side
Answer: 11 inches....works great on one-gallon bags.
Answer: 2/3 cm
Answer: About a quarter inch
Q:
how many consecutive bags you can do
Answer: I did 40 bags in a row out of the box. You could probably do more if you wait between bags like the directions instruct.
Answer: One at a time. Only
Q:
Extra air suction hose for mueller food fresh vacuum sealer
Answer: No, but there is moist seal and dry. Mueller system, at least the one I purchased, does not have a vacuum hose.
Answer: It comes with an air suction hose.
Answer: Used to pull a vacuum on other container types, hard containers or bags with vacuum ports! All work good with this machine!!
Answer: We didn't buy the hose.
Q:
This comes with a canister hose, but I don't see the place to connect it to the unit? I see the "canister vacuum" button, but no place to attach to.
Answer: You attach the canister hose inside the unit. You can’t see it unless you lift the lid.
Answer: Yes it comes with the hose the attachment is located inside the machine
Answer: When you open it up there is a small connector inside the area where you place the ends of the bags for sealing. It’s very small and so it’s easy to miss
Answer: There is a little hole in side you attach it too.
Q:
Can I seal a 9lb brisket with this?
Answer: I wouldn't recommend buying this machine at all but if you have been looped into the trap and already have the machine, yes. However the moisture in the brisket will be sucked up towards the opening of the bag when it is being vacuumed out and make it difficult to seal. So try and keep it as dry as you can and make sure there is enough space between the food and the opening of the bag. Air will immediately seep back into the bag but it will take out some air.
Answer: Yes if you leave empty bag room at the top for the sealer to seal
Answer: This may not have bags big enough for this size you may have to portion it out.
Q:
How do I get warranty service, I cannot find anything on where to go? The vacuum no longer works on my device, purchase a few months ago
Answer: Contact the Müller service hotline
Q:
Where does fluid go?
Answer: All I have tried are meats and spaghetti, some pot pie mix and the fluid rises up but kinda evaporates and seals. I do dry the inside and outside top of the bag with a paper towel first. I’m not sure how it works but does. I love it no more freezer burns.
Q:
Can you purchase a new heat bar and how to install it?
Answer: No!!
Product reviews of Vacuum Sealer Machine By Mueller | Automatic Vacuum Air Sealing System For Food Preservation & Sous Vide w/Starter Kit | Compact Design | Lab Tested | Dry & Moist Food Modes | Led Indicator Lights
Joy Martin : The Vacuum Sealer Machine Stopped Working
We purchased the Vacuum Sealer Machine in March 2019; it is now May 2019, and we've used this machine approximately four times and the machine no longer vacuums the air out of the bags. It was great when it worked, but it no longer works. Its life is short-lived; I would not recommend this product at all.
I am changing my rating to 4 stars; the company, which is a U.S. small family business, stood behind their product and replaced my daughter's vacuum sealer, which was a gift for her--impressive customer service.

L.E. Brentwood : Inconsistent performance first use,out the box...
I really wanted this food saver and was super excited to use it, unfortunately the "seal" only mode sealed inconsistently and when I used the "Vac/Seal" mode, the air was vacuumed but it wouldn't seal.
After waiting several minutes between seals and trying a few different mode combinations, I finally realized the unit simply didn't work. Going to purchase the FoodSaver, since it was my original choice and my friends and family recommend the brand.

Amazon_969871 : Capacitive touch buttons makes it easy to prematurely seal bags.
1st day with the Mueller vac sealer. Overall, it's a great value for $39. Compact and easy to use. For the retail price of $59, I think you'd be better off with a Nesco unit for a few dollars more, although the Mueller is much smaller and seems to work just as well. I've had a couple issues with bags not being fully vacuumed, but I'll chalk that up to user error for the time being.
My only complaint is that the buttons are overly sensitive. I think hard buttons would've been a much better design. Several times I closed the lid, and the bag was sealed before I could even hit the vac button. Turns out my knuckle had brushed the seal button.
Follow-up:
- Bags seal and vacuum perfectly fine. What I mentioned before was caused by the bags being punctured by sharp pieces of beef jerky.
- I still find the buttons to be overly sensitive, plus they have embedded LED lights that are invisible in bright light or sunlight. Both are minor issues.
- **My only real complaint is you when you attempt to seal the bag before it's done automatically. It will stop the vacuum pump, and then seal the bag, which results in a minor loss of vacuum. Normally the vacuum pump runs continuously until the bag is fully sealed.**

G. Burke : Stopped working-UPDATE
Started off working OK, considering the price. Might have to try a couple of times to actually vacuum out all the air, even with small bags. Gradually got worse. Just about the time that it got so bad that it didn't work 9 out of 10 times, the window for returning it had closed.
UPDATE: Even though Amazon said it was too late to return, the seller read my review and contacted me, offering to replace the defective unit. This is unusually good customer service. I'll update my review once I have had time to receive and use the new unit.

Gloryann Dean : make the bag flat
once I got the hang of how to use it properly... like making sure to leave enough space to close and making sure bag is flat.. works wonders... love love love it!!! foods tastes so much better out of the fridge!!
Christopher : Great Vacuum Sealer!!!
Bought this to start sealing my Salmon fillets. I've never used one before but I'm so happy with this purchase!!!! It was really easy to use out of the box and love that it came with starter bags. It truly is the best starter kit!! Works perfectly fine and I've been storing all my Salmon fillets with no issues!!
Chile Fanatic : my dog loves it
seal a bag pick it up, seal fails, dinner drops on the floor. When it works, it's fine, but no confidence on the seal. And the sealer lock is a joke. No feel, locked or not?
Have continued to try and use it, sealer continues to fail, and i will close the lid it starts and fails before I even hit the seal and vac control. When running the vacuum, I have to push down on the cover as the cover lock is a joke.

Quinn E. Gorges : Great product. Moist foods are tricky.
This is a great product! It’s easy to use and it works as advertised. The sealer function is gentle enough that I can use the sealer on a variety of plastic packages. One thing I might improve is the vac/seal function with moist food items. The sealer has a setting for moist foods, but often it continues sucking until moisture has come out of the bag and flooded the well. When this occurs, the bag does not seal. However, in many cases, the bag can be successfully sealed. To vacuum seal moist food, you may need to hit the vac/seal button, then wait a few seconds after the cycle is complete. Then hit the seal button. Fingers crossed, it will work!
Zac : Easy to use, but unreliable :(
Not sure if these are just bad or I got a faulty one but it doesn't seal completely, and when I tried to seal the same bag twice in the same spot it just melted right through the bag in the same places while other spots were still completely unsealed (not melted together) the vacuum worked for dry foods like trail mix or breakfast sausages but when I tried some water, just to test the vacuum function it didn't suck out all the air and again, didn't seal the bag. This a classic example of "if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't". My advice is, just spend a bit more cash for a more reliable vacuum sealer and you won't be stuck with a faulty product.
Jad Aoun : Junk
Crappy product and design. Doesn’t seal correctly and leaves air in the bag. Too much of a headache trying to get it to work.
Joe : Purchased unit in September 2020 - wonderful product
I purchased this vacuum sealer unit in September 2020 and it is a FANTASTIC item. Took a little trial and error to get used to getting the bags to seal properly, but once I got the hang of it - I was able to buy meat, fish and other food items in bulk, vacuum seal them into individual portions and freeze them.
Everything worked perfectly until today (January 2021) when I couldn't get the unit to vacuum seal the bags. I called Mueller Customer service and they were able to verify my purchase and have a new unit shipped to me to arrive in 2 days.
So not only is the product a good purchase, their customer service stands behind the product.
I've tried other brands, and returned all of them. I would recommend this product.

John : Very nice appliance at a good price with the $20 off coupon
The unit worked well right away. There are plenty of bags and a roll to make custom sized bags. Seals well and takes just a few seconds. The dry and wet options are very helpful too :-)
Thank you for a really nice product.
There is an offer in the box for a free julienner peeler and a $10 Amazon coupon if you text the company, but the redemption system doesen't seem to be working. Hopefully soon :-)

Zac : Easy to use, but unreliable :(
Not sure if these are just bad or I got a faulty one but it doesn't seal completely, and when I tried to seal the same bag twice in the same spot it just melted right through the bag in the same places while other spots were still completely unsealed (not melted together) the vacuum worked for dry foods like trail mix or breakfast sausages but when I tried some water, just to test the vacuum function it didn't suck out all the air and again, didn't seal the bag. This a classic example of "if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't". My advice is, just spend a bit more cash for a more reliable vacuum sealer and you won't be stuck with a faulty product.
Cutter : Ok in a pinch
I purchased this after owning Food Saver products, and they all died. This unit is compact and easy to use, but it does not keep a good seal. I shipped jerky to my son who is in the Army, and by the time the box got to him, air had gotten into the jerky. This little machine is ok in a pinch, but a double seal should be used every time.
Meghan : Solid Buy
Overall good experience. Suctions well, and is easy to use. I do wish there was a way to hold the bag firmly in place while closing the device, but I'm not sure if that is specific to this model or just generally how these kind of counter-top sealers function. I have run into issues where it doesn't create a full seal the first time, but that could be do to the aforementioned "trickiness" of keeping the bag flat while you close it (although it's really not all that hard overall). Either way, the vast majority of uses have been successful, and so far the vacuum seal is holding. For the price I don't think it's a bad buy AT ALL. Haven't used the optional function to seal jars, nor have I test long term seal longevity, so I don't know how this product fares on those accounts.

Ease of Use
This is super easy to use. My wife who usually struggles with these kinds of things was able to do this without much issue. The instructions are extremely easy to follow and the sealer itself gives you excellent feedback on the current status.
Freshness
I use those primarily for steaks and I have had no issues with any of the steaks that I have stored in the freezer using this. We have used it for a few other meats as well but primarily it is steaks for us. The sealer has excellent suction adding some extra time that your food can be kept in the freezer. Upon thawing and cooking the food still taste amazing.
Overall
Easy, cost effective, east to store. These are all key things that contribute to making this an excellent sealer without breaking the bank. I recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a sealer.

World Music Lover : Best Vacuum Sealer by Far
I was hesitant to purchase a non-major brand but glad I did. This product is well designed with a strong little motor with good suction. I also like having the extra accessory that allows me to suction out everyday storage bags that don't need sealing. The machine is compact and so attractive that I leave it on my counter. This is my fourth vacuum sealer, and so far, it is the best by far.
Susan Smith : Leave s hole on the seal seam
You have to leave a lot of space near the top or else the bag wrinkles creating a bad seal. But even with it flat each and every bag has a hole on the seal seam, so I am not sure if it is really sealing or not. I guess I can seal an empty bag and do a water test, but I wish that hole were not on the seam every time. Other than that it is very easy to use and the vacuum seal is amazing.
B. Yoshida : FAILED ON THE THIRD DAY
The first days of sealing and vacuum worked perfectly fine. On the third day I noticed the unit wasn't suctioning the bags. Nothing had changed on my end. I had enough material, the port was clean, the bags were dry and placed properly in the vacuum chamber. I followed the troubleshooting steps, verified the gaskets were seated properly, no debris was in the chamber/suction hose and did the whole 40-second reset plugged and unplugged. None of it worked. I went back to read the negative comments and a lot of people had the same complaints.
Ryan Gailey : An easy-to-use product that comes with bags!
I love this product. It came with bags and a roll so that you can make your own bags. This took only a glance at the directions and then I was ready to use it. This device is not complicated and the steaks that I used it for were airtight. I am excited to see the difference in taste when I pull these out of the freezer again.
jimmker : Save money ! Even major brand, freezer bags don't vacuum seal. This does !
As a person who buys meat only on special, this is a very useful item. I also found it fun to use ! I like the control of cost issue. Unless I missed it in the manual, I had to research for which side of the plastic goes up for sealing. Google said smooth, not textured side up for the seal.
spiritwater : Very Good!
Initially, I planned to return it because I couldn't get it to latch. I was attempting to seal and freeze a large bag of fresh string beans and had purchased large vacuum bags specifically for that purpose. I tried sealing while holding. Not a good idea. I'd also had to use multiple small bags because the instructions said not to cover the vacuum tube. Which meant not only did it not work, but was time consuming! I finally gave up and started the return process. Being sure to express my aggravation and disappointment.
Since I tend to be the "dog with a bone" type person and don't give up easily i later went back and read some of the other reviews. One review explained that it requires muscle to get it to latch. That made me decide to try again. I'm an inactive senior so any muscle is long gone but I made sure to really put weight on it when closing. And It worked! Another review had pictures showing how to place larger bags BELOW the vacuum tube. DUH! Why didn't I think of that? Any way, it didn't vacuum the string beans as well as I had hoped but it did take the majority of air out and did seal well. Since then I've used it for pasta sauce and hamburger. It did well for the hamburger. Not so much for the sauce even though I froze it in advance. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
After using it for a while I've changed my review to a 4.5! One additional note: every time you use it go through the set up process with both settings otherwise it won't work properly. If you set it each time it works beautifully!

Michelle : JUNK!!! DOES NOT VACUUM
DO NOT BUY THIS! The only reason this has a 1 star rating is because it wouldnt let me rate it for less. I bought this product because several reviews said it was a great product for the money. I will never again buy a cheap vacuum sealer or any other cheap a$$ product for that matter. This device worked for the first couple of weeks. I had a few failed vaccums from the start, but thought it was user error. All in all, was able to properly vacuum seal a few packs of meat with errors in between. Maybe I'll get the hang of this right? Wrong! I placed bags exactly as shown on pictures and followed instructions provided. Majority of my attempts sealed the bags but did not vacuum even though I had everything set as instructions directed. I purchased new bags, first set was a different brand which didnt seal at all. Second set of bags i purchased were bags for this product. Again, device does not vacuum seal. In the end, I have cursed it, beat it, then threw it in the trash. This was the biggest waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone. It isnt even worth redemption from the manufacturer because I will not try another product from this company.
Paul B : Nice little unit
So far this has been a good buy. It's easy to use and works well. The "wet" cycle isn't really as useful as I thought - it doesn't get all the air out. It makes sense because otherwise it would pull the moisture out but I just don't use it.
The only thing that bothers me a little is that you have to latch both sides before using, where my previous FoodSaver only had a latch on one side. It takes more pressure on this one to latch it, too - you have to push down pretty hard.
I haven't used the canister setting yet so I don't know who well that works.

Geoffrey : GARBAGE
this machine is GARBAGE. It will only vacuum and seal one or two times before it starts failing, as soon as it heats up it malfunctions and won’t vacuum seal....Super frustrating...Don’t waste your money I am going to throw mine away as soon as I am done vacuum sealing these 6 chicken breasts which will take me 2+more hours because the machine has to cool down for 15 minutes in between uses
Elle B. : Works well, but the lid is difficult to shut securely
I did a lot of shopping around before settling on this vacuum sealer. I waited until it was on sale and bought this for around $50. I think it’s worth about that much. I don’t know that it’s worth the current asking price of around $70.
This sealer is easy to use. Someone who has never used a vacuum sealer before will be able to take this out of the box and start using it in about 5-10 minutes. The buttons are fairly self-explanatory, although the instruction book provides more in-depth descriptions of what each one is for. One thing to note, however, is that the buttons are not standard buttons, it’s more like a touchscreen. You just tap them, don’t push them.
The bags and the roll that come with the sealer are easy to use and seal well. Both of them are on the thinner side and I use thicker bags for my typical needs. This sealer does work well with other brands of sealing bags. I initially had some concerns, but it works well with both 8 inch and 11 inch bags of various thicknesses. I used 11 inch wide 10C thick bags with this sealer and it did a great job with both vacuuming and sealing. The 11 inch wide bags are a little more difficult to line up in the sealing channel. The channel only allows for a maximum of 11 inches so you have to be sure to line it up correctly and be sure it doesn’t move as you are shutting the lid. I've attached photos comparing an 8 inch roll and an 11 inch roll.
Unfortunately, shutting the lid is hard and takes two hands. There is no way around it. Someone with limited arm strength or disabilities that affect muscle or coordination will most likely not be able to use this sealer. I have no way of knowing, but I suspect that many of the complaints about failed “vac and seal” with this machine, are due to people being unable to securely shut the lid.
Overall, I think that this sealer is a good choice for a lot of households who have limited space, limited funds, and will only use a vacuum sealer occasionally.

Amazon Customer : Spend more for better product
Small and compact but does not give a good suction
Vincent L : Great machine, great price!
I originally planned on getting a more expensive brand but after looking at the description, reviews, etc I decided on giving this a try, and boy am I glad I did! This is a great little machine and very easy to use. You do have to exert a bit of downward pressure to get the upper lid to snap shut but that’s the only Issue I have. So save your hard earned money, and buy this machine. Also when I bought this, Amazon recommended bundling it with some bag rolls and quart sized bags and I’m glad I did because not only did I go thru the samples that came with the machine but I went through half of the bundle add-ons and besides, it saved me some more money to boot by bundling them at the time of purchase! Get one now before they realize they should charge more!

Amazon Customer : Works good at first then getting this almost melt thru but some thin leaks thru plastic texturedside
So worked good for a couple projects. But then i was getting this almost melt through thing in photo. Butlooking closer the channeled side of the bag doesn’t seem to melt all the way clear. I have had some bags leak down and just decided to use them first. But some dry food is for long term storage with oxygen absorbers in them. Who has time to check bags to see if they have leaked down ? Even though this started before my return date window, now it is one day past my return date window. So beware if your starts send it back. I don’t know the percentage that will leak down is the problem. I won’t buy another one. I bought a different brand before this and it had problems as well. These all must be a one time use item thing.
Jenny Perry : Month later review
Review a month later:
After those steaks previously mentioned... We had only sealed maybe 12 steaks and it worked great. Tonight I tried to seal 2 different packs of chicken. The vacuum seal is not working as it did before. There is still a lot of air left in both packages. (Might as well have used a ziplock) And at one point we had to physically stop the machine from running, as it was doing nothing but make noise. My return window ended 3 days ago...of course. So it’s a no go on a return for me. And now I have to buy another.
First review:
We buy large steaks from Costco to cut up and freeze, but always used ziplock bags and were disappointed. I don’t think is why we didn’t get this sooner!? This thing is awesome, and easy to use!

Joe G in Tennessee : Great bang for the buck!
Works quite well; very good, consistent suction and seal. Perfect for my needs. I've been using the Wevac vacuum sealer bags and they've worked very well with this vacuum sealer. I don't believe there's any sealer that will remove every single bit of air from the bag, but this comes pretty darn close. I highly recommend that you freeze whatever you wish to seal before you do so. This eliminates the possibility of sucking liquid into the sealer. In addition, fold the inside edges of the bag out so you don't get any moisture on the inside of the bag when you and your meat/chicken, etc., (or it won't seal properly). I'm slowly but surely filling my chest freezer with all vacuum sealed meats. I don't see any frost/freezer burn.
As a plus, I've made sous-vide steaks in an Instant Pot and the seal has been perfect every time! I seared the steaks on a super hot cast-iron skillet (on the side burner of my outdoor grill) and I will NEVER cook a steak any other way. They came out steak house quality and it's always consistent; never overdone.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Amazon Customer : NOT TOP OF THE LINE BUT IT'S EVERYTHING I NEED FOR MY SEALING NEEDS!
I had started to send this back but then saw a video on another machine on how to operate the thing. Once I discovered the correct bag position on the sealing try, it worked okay. Still leaves a little to be desired in sealing but I finally got it to extract air from the packaging. It's awkward to use if preparing large amounts of food but to keep a few leftovers fresher longer, to bag up and freeze a batch of meatballs or meatloaf, and to keep fresh veggies in the fridge a little longer, it's probably worth the expense. Also great for sou vide. Anyway, I wouldn't offer this Vacuum Sealer as a gift, but it's okay for my small needs.
UPDATE...
I am so glad I gave this machine a second chance! Increasing it to 5 stars! Since the Ball Canning Jar Sealer lids arrived, I have used this machine over and over again to preserve freshness for dried pantry foods! It just keeps going without a hitch so I'm more and more impressed with it. I have also discovered that the bags that have a smooth side seal extremly well but the all textured bags - not so good.

Domesticgypsie : SAVE ON FOOD COSTS! It’s EASY!
I love this vacuum sealer!
I am single and I buy certain food in bulk to save money. I like to buy organic and good quality foods and this vacuum sealer has helped me store the foods for long periods of time without spoiling.
This cheese, which I buy in a hug 4lb bag, crumbles nicely with a fork when unsealed. I merely store it in the refrigerator too, no freezing.
I am saving money and time AND get the fresh food I like at my fingertips.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! Good for any size family to save on food costs!

O Wahyurini : Easy to use
I love this item! I bought it with a huge deal, $20 off from my purchase. It is lightweight and compact. At first, I didn’t know how to lock and I had to try several times. But fortunately, there was a video that demonstrated how to use it. And it is super fast! It came with 6” pre-sealed bags and a roller of 6” plastic bag.

Anthony J. Gould : DON'T BUY THIS TRASH!!!
This is a waste of money, a real POS. It works if you are making 5 hamburger patties per hour, more than that, and the cheap vacuum pump cannot keep up and provide the necessary suction. While other reviewers wax positively about this Mueller MV 1100, for me It has been a TOTAL WASTE!
I failed to use this device in the first month that I owned it and had it available for a AMAZON return. I discovered that I am too late to return this frustrating garbage. ONLY BUY small appliances from COSTCO, at least those can be returned for up to a year.
I am hoping that I can keep others from the frustration that I have experienced with the Mueller MV 1100 Vacuum Sealer Machine.

pullthetab : Amazing Product!
This is the first vacuum sealer I have ever owned, so I really can't compare it to others. However, like some people are inseparable from their phone, do not try to pry this thing from my fingers! I vacuum seal pretty much everything that isn't trash. Whether it's going in the refrigerator or freezer, it gets sealed. Deli from the store - vacuum it. leftover dinner, vacuum it. Meats, chicken, italian meals into the freezer - vacuum it. This thing is incredibly easy and quick.
Only issue is occasionally the wider bags are tricky , just fit the width of the sealer and make take a few tried to get it in the right position. However, 99% of the things i seal fit better in the narrower 8" bags, which are a piece of cake.
Have easily sealed several hundred items in just a few months. The taste difference compared to ziplocks is amazing. And this thing purrs. Highly recommended from a vacuum novice.

Amazon Customer : NOT TOP OF THE LINE BUT IT'S EVERYTHING I NEED FOR MY SEALING NEEDS!
I had started to send this back but then saw a video on another machine on how to operate the thing. Once I discovered the correct bag position on the sealing try, it worked okay. Still leaves a little to be desired in sealing but I finally got it to extract air from the packaging. It's awkward to use if preparing large amounts of food but to keep a few leftovers fresher longer, to bag up and freeze a batch of meatballs or meatloaf, and to keep fresh veggies in the fridge a little longer, it's probably worth the expense. Also great for sou vide. Anyway, I wouldn't offer this Vacuum Sealer as a gift, but it's okay for my small needs.
UPDATE...
I am so glad I gave this machine a second chance! Increasing it to 5 stars! Since the Ball Canning Jar Sealer lids arrived, I have used this machine over and over again to preserve freshness for dried pantry foods! It just keeps going without a hitch so I'm more and more impressed with it. I have also discovered that the bags that have a smooth side seal extremly well but the all textured bags - not so good.

Dhani Dare : I had high hopes for this product but was sadly disappointed
unfortunately, this vacuum sealer doesn't suck out enough air to properly vacuum seal. The air extraction time is lightning quick, leaving so much behind the bag doesn't wrap snuggly around the food as it should. We are using the bags the unit came, so no problem there. I wish I could return this, but it's been used a few times and it's past the 30 day period. I will be shopping for something different. I do not recommend.

George V. : Good for it's size and price
So, I wanted to start using a vacuum sealer that won't occupy much space and I was afraid on buying something expensive that could be a potential flop. This get's the job done. Suction power is not top, but it is not bad either. My biggest issue with this machine is the seal. I've had to seal bags several times to retain that vacuum seal. The seal is very thin, 1/6th of an inch. My friend's seal is 1/3rd to half an inch but it's a more expensive machine too. If the seal was just slight bigger, I wouldn't have to fight with it to retain that suction once the bag is closed. It's a good machine, feels kind of flimsy and we'll see about durability, but it definitely gets the job done.
Domesticgypsie : SAVE ON FOOD COSTS! It’s EASY!
I love this vacuum sealer!
I am single and I buy certain food in bulk to save money. I like to buy organic and good quality foods and this vacuum sealer has helped me store the foods for long periods of time without spoiling.
This cheese, which I buy in a hug 4lb bag, crumbles nicely with a fork when unsealed. I merely store it in the refrigerator too, no freezing.
I am saving money and time AND get the fresh food I like at my fingertips.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! Good for any size family to save on food costs!
THANK YOU
