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.
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.

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

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
Kimberly R : Do NOT waste your money!
TERRIBLE. I purchased this item in March and have only used it about 6 times. It has been stored properly, used according to manufacturer instructions, and has not been dropped or damaged. The suction power is minimal, if you can even get it to work at all. Return window closed otherwise I would be sending it back. To not even get a year of use is unacceptable. Do not buy.
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.
kbmak : Does what it's supposed to
I’ve been asking my spouse for a while to get me a good vacuum sealer, as I buy meats in bulk and I also do a lot of fishing and foraging, so it’s important for me that food lasts for many months in the freezer. I’ve received Mueller unit for Christmas, and so far, it definitely meets and exceeds my expectations. Quick, quiet, and efficient. I mean, don’t expect any miracles, it still can’t vacuum seal wet produce, but that’s understandable, I usually place a dry paper towel rolled up, along the sealing edge and it absorbs any moisture coming out of the food. I’ve been using a Geryon unit for quite a few years and believe me – this is a major step up! I’m very pleased and hoping it will serve me well for years to come.”
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.
TrishaChristine : Gets the job done
We bought this to replace a much older food saver that was starting to give up on us. Its much more compact and so easy to use! Its getting the job done, I have no complaints.
Stephen Sinor : Solid unit for saving food
I vacuum pack a large variety of food for short and long term storage. I also use this unit for sealing non-food items to protect them from moisture. I have used other brands for years and have had to replace them often. I have only been using this brand for a few months but it seems to be holding up well so far. In my warm kitchen there is some cool down time between sealing cycles but I use the time to prepare the next bag and keep my production line moving smoothly. This unit is also capable of sealing mylar bags, but the surface tension of the mylar does not allow for suction, so don't look for that with this unit or any other that isn't made for that purpose. Try a vacuum sealer if you haven't yet, you'll be surprised at what you end up storing and amazed by the extended freezer life of meats in particular.
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.
Marissa Mast : BARGAIN priced and works very well
We are really impressed with this little vacuum sealer. It is compact, easy to use, packed with features, quiet and does it's job very well. We got it with a $20 off coupon and it is a STEAL even at full price. Would highly recommend!!
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!
Andrew Leighton : Simple, effective & no nonsense.
I fought with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer which had so many bells and whistles which worked with glitches. I am so happy with the Mueller vacuum sealer because it is simple. There is no flap inside to be pressed aside by the inserted bag. The bag is simply manually clamped. Make sure that you hear two clicks to ensure that the lid is closed. No problems with liquid collecting in the internal tray and setting off a "full alarm" as there is no sensor to detect liquid. Sealing meat did not cause any excess liquid build up in the internal tray and I was perfectly able to see how much liquid is in the tray before each new sealing. Only complaint was that the touch screen on the lid is easily contacted while closing the lid. Sometimes the suck or seal buttons were activated accidentally. Easy to cancel with another button. Definite recommend for anyone looking for a rock-solid vacuum sealer which doesn't break.
Ray0603 : Stopped working after 7 months of m,inimal uase
This product is terrible. It worked fine at first, but after 7 months of minimal use it stopped working. The sealer no longer removes all the air out of the bags. It leaves the bags with so much air that I might as well place the foods in a zip lock. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this item. I'm just sorry that I'm past due the return date.
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.
Stephanie Todora : Great product for preparing for Sous vide cooking!
It took me two tries to figure out how to make the vacuum suction work. (I didn’t lock down the right side.). Once I got it figured out, it was SUPER easy. Sealed salmon and asparagus for Sous vide cooking. I even resealed the asparagus bag. This worked so well. Very happy with this product!!!
Russell A Horton : Excellent for just about anything
...and here we go.
Ease of Use: 5 Freshness: 5 ----------------- Overall: 5
NOTE: Overall is not an average.
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.

Courtney : Good first vacuum sealer
This vacuum sealer is a great first step. It is super simple to use right out of the box. The indicator light is great. I will say it isn't as strong as I had hoped. There was still some air left in the bags of chicken breast I was vacuum sealing. It still does a better job than standard ziplock bags and the bags are reusable, which is nice.
Maria Perez : Well built, good quality and great price, what’s not to like?
I bought this vacuum sealer after taking some time to do proper research. I bought a sous-vide recently and was using ziploc bags with decent results, but the COVID-19 made me realize that my life would be easier if I could just preseason my meats and just throw them in the water. Additionally, stocking for food, I found myself wasting freezer space with unnecessary packaging. Last, but not least, I wanted a way to simply reseal polybags to keep food fresh. The Müller vacuum sealer had the best reviews and cost efficiency. It is well built and I have used it to seal and vacuum seal wet and dry food very succesfully. I struggled for a couple minutes with the lock and the side buttons but at the end It was super simple.
Marissa Mast : BARGAIN priced and works very well
We are really impressed with this little vacuum sealer. It is compact, easy to use, packed with features, quiet and does it's job very well. We got it with a $20 off coupon and it is a STEAL even at full price. Would highly recommend!!
T. Metzner : Awesome food vacuum especially for the price!
This sealer works really well for the price. It does everything you need to vacuum and seal your food but you must let the hot sealer bar cool down after a few bags. If it is still hot when you go to do the 4th or 5th bag, then it smooshes and won’t vacuum. No big deal just don’t rush it.
Eddie : Good quality for the price.
So far I've sealed a couple hundred portions of meat for my freezer and it's held up just fine. I'm not sure about longevity of it yet since I've only had it a couple weeks but i'm sure it will last long enough to be worth the $40 it cost.
EAshleyS : Great value
I previously bought the zip top bags with a suction gadget, but those only worked for certain items & was discontinued. I've been wasting so much meat from buying bulk. this vacuum sealer has helped me save $ by not throwing out as much meat! I portion, package, & freeze when I bring them home. great value for the price!
Courtney : Good first vacuum sealer
This vacuum sealer is a great first step. It is super simple to use right out of the box. The indicator light is great. I will say it isn't as strong as I had hoped. There was still some air left in the bags of chicken breast I was vacuum sealing. It still does a better job than standard ziplock bags and the bags are reusable, which is nice.
Scott : Good vacuum sealer, with some tips
Overall a good vacuum sealer. Bought it to replace a very old one (different brand) and nice to see more features in this one. Like the option of "dry/moist" and the locking features so you don't have to stand there holding down the lid to operate the vacuum. Good price for the features.
Some (minor) downsides: First the sealer is fairly narrow, so you may have trouble with wide sealer bags. Might want to stick to the more narrow bags (less than 11") . Second, the sealing strip heats up, so after a few bags, you need to stop and let it cool down. Otherwise it seals the bag before you get a chance to vacuum out the air (so it's not vacuum sealed, but just sealed).
CynthiaA : Good appliance for the money
I bought this to replace my expensive food saver that is going out so it sounds like a jet plane. I didn’t want to spend over $100 on an appliance I don’t use daily. I have a Mueller pressure cooker and am so far pleased with the brand. This is so much smaller and quieter than my old vacuum sealer. It worked wonderfully right out of the box. It’s easy to figure out how to use and seals great. I used bags from a roll I already had of a different brand and it worked well. Great value for the money. Can’t wait to buy meat in bulk again to really try it out.
Amazon Customer : Vacum Sealing system
This product is a great buy if you are using it for small amounts at a time, it isn't that good for sealing large amounts at a time such as a lot of meat at a time.

Ray0603 : Stopped working after 7 months of m,inimal uase
This product is terrible. It worked fine at first, but after 7 months of minimal use it stopped working. The sealer no longer removes all the air out of the bags. It leaves the bags with so much air that I might as well place the foods in a zip lock. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this item. I'm just sorry that I'm past due the return date.
T. Michelle : Garbage Does not vacuum
I'm not sure if we got a bad one or if the other reviews are fake but this machine is basically garbage. It does not vacuum the airout. At all. It seals well. But it does get hot it you're sealing several things at once. When it gets hot it doesn't actually seal, it melts the end off. We bought this in Nov of 2019 and it worked okay for the first few times we used it. After that is was useless for vacuum sealing and only good for sealing as long as you only do one or two things. I would not buy this product or brand again.
E.Preston M. : Buy cheap and you get cheap
I am extremely disappointed. The suction is awful and the sealer gets stuck sometime and seals the bag before you mash the button to start the machine, the heat sealer stays on. It will not seal Mylar bags, I have tried and tried and I have used one of this type machines before. Remember you get what you pay for. Now it will not seal Do not buy this I have lost my money on this purchase .
john57g : First impression is great so far..
Great unit on day one startup was quick and easy had enough bags to practice sealing stuff up with the quality seems good so far especially for the price.
You will want to order a few rolls of vacuum bags because although there is a decent amount of included bags and a small roll it will run out fast
Good for meal prep and freezer space saving also helps keep freezer burn away longer
I will post a update after a few rolls of vacuum bags but so far it's been good
Eli : Great customer service
Replacement unit working great for the last couple of months. My original unit lasted only a few months, but Mueller sent me a replacement unit as soon as they knew I was having trouble. Do reach out to them if you encounter issues. They'll look out for you.
Lori S : I'm obsessed!
I've been a wanting a food vacuum sealer for years. I bought this one because of the price and the reviews. This vacuum sealer works really well and is cheaper than some more expensive brands. I'm totally obsessed now. I made and sealed cheese snacks for our lunches, sealed some veggies, and apple slices (soak in lemon juice or citric acid solution first). It is just my husband and I at home, and I hate to waste food/money. I also bought mason jar sealers and they work great for salad jars! Next I will organize and vacuum seal my yarn, and make emergency kits to keep in the car this winter, and find some other uses!
Maria Perez : Well built, good quality and great price, what’s not to like?
I bought this vacuum sealer after taking some time to do proper research. I bought a sous-vide recently and was using ziploc bags with decent results, but the COVID-19 made me realize that my life would be easier if I could just preseason my meats and just throw them in the water. Additionally, stocking for food, I found myself wasting freezer space with unnecessary packaging. Last, but not least, I wanted a way to simply reseal polybags to keep food fresh. The Müller vacuum sealer had the best reviews and cost efficiency. It is well built and I have used it to seal and vacuum seal wet and dry food very succesfully. I struggled for a couple minutes with the lock and the side buttons but at the end It was super simple.
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.
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.
Russell A Horton : Excellent for just about anything
...and here we go.
Ease of Use: 5 Freshness: 5 ----------------- Overall: 5
NOTE: Overall is not an average.
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.
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!
Andrew Leighton : Simple, effective & no nonsense.
I fought with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer which had so many bells and whistles which worked with glitches. I am so happy with the Mueller vacuum sealer because it is simple. There is no flap inside to be pressed aside by the inserted bag. The bag is simply manually clamped. Make sure that you hear two clicks to ensure that the lid is closed. No problems with liquid collecting in the internal tray and setting off a "full alarm" as there is no sensor to detect liquid. Sealing meat did not cause any excess liquid build up in the internal tray and I was perfectly able to see how much liquid is in the tray before each new sealing. Only complaint was that the touch screen on the lid is easily contacted while closing the lid. Sometimes the suck or seal buttons were activated accidentally. Easy to cancel with another button. Definite recommend for anyone looking for a rock-solid vacuum sealer which doesn't break.
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.
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!!
Christopher51 : As a chef from NYC, I'd give this thing 5 stars+++. It works!
As a retired executive chef from NYC/Long Island, NY, I have to say that this machine is ‘spot-on.’ Two years ago, I purchased a professional vacuum sealer and paid over $300 for it. The Mueller Vacuum Sealer runs rings around it. I do a lot of vacuum sealing. I was burning out my “FoodSavers” every 18-24 months. I use my vacuum sealer for not only for repackaging sale items, but do a lot of ‘sous vide’ cooking as well. I only use commercial 11” vac-bag rolls. It’s the most economical. Out of the 100+ bags that I’ve made, so far, I’ve only had 1 seal failure. I can live with that. This thing does exactly what you set it for. I’m very impressed. The only difficulty that I’ve encountered, is the top locking mechanism. It’s somewhat difficult for me and these old arthritic hands of mine. I wish that they’d come up with a locking mechanism like the FoodSaver has. Other than that, if, and when, I burn it out, I’ll definitely get another.
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.
Amazon Customer : Everything works great....Except the most important part.
I purchased this item a few weeks ago in preparation for my yearly venison vacuum sealing needs. I process my own game and having a dependable vacuum sealer is invaluable. The previous couple of years I got away from vacuum sealing after growing frustrated with how cantankerous my old foodsaver unit had become. ( The suctioning function would only work every 10 attempts.) I have been using saran wrap and freezer paper since i chunked that unit.
Fast forward to now, I purchased this unit after reading numerous positive reviews. I figured at that price point it would be worth the gamble...
As in gambling sometimes you lose. I feel like i lost in this one.
The seal this unit makes on their bags is inconsistent and leaky. The melting strip gets too hot and it is too narrow to get a proper seal. I attempted to seal a number of different items and all the seals had bubbles or holes in them. I would venture to say this unit is batting 10% in how effective it seals.
I sincerely hope i got a bad unit and others dont go through the same frustrations.

Stephen Sinor : Solid unit for saving food
I vacuum pack a large variety of food for short and long term storage. I also use this unit for sealing non-food items to protect them from moisture. I have used other brands for years and have had to replace them often. I have only been using this brand for a few months but it seems to be holding up well so far. In my warm kitchen there is some cool down time between sealing cycles but I use the time to prepare the next bag and keep my production line moving smoothly. This unit is also capable of sealing mylar bags, but the surface tension of the mylar does not allow for suction, so don't look for that with this unit or any other that isn't made for that purpose. Try a vacuum sealer if you haven't yet, you'll be surprised at what you end up storing and amazed by the extended freezer life of meats in particular.
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.
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
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!!
JustmeInFlorida : 2x fail
I ordered my first one in late April, never really sealed right consistently from the beginning. Amazon sent me a replacement, same problem. If you're only going to vacuum seal occasionally then this "might work" but not for 50lb of chicken that needed to be processed. I had an old Foodsaver that would run circles around this piece of crap. DON'T BUY!!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!
