Q:
We purchased this item. Question. Once sealed and placed in autoclave the seam pops open. What are we doing wrong?
Answer: Not sure what an auto clave is? But if the seam is popping open on a heat sealable bag, then it didn’t seal properly. You need to hold down the handle for about 7 seconds and then move the bag to a new position and reseal once or twice more. We even flipped our bags over to get them to seal better. The sealer did go bad after about 6 weeks. We had sparks and all. We ended up sending it back and now use a standard straightening iron which works magnificently!

Product reviews of Impulse Heat Sealer Manual Bags Sealer Heat Sealing Machine 12 Inch Impulse Sealer Machine for Plastic Bags PE PP Bags with Extra Replace Element Grip
Dale G. : Works Great
It seals plastic bags just fine.
Senijad Felic : Very poor quality

Yesenia Tobar : Helpful
Good product and work fast it is a A+ To my starting business
Mallory : Easy to use, high quality
Great! Very pleased with ease of use. It’s also not super heavy! What a nice surprise compared to my old one
Wanna H : Highly recommended
Does exactly what it says!
Best Fiji Kava Inc : takes a few seconds
The light turns off after 4 seconds then you need to hold another 2-3 seconds to fully seal. One bags take about 5-8 seconds. Not good if you seal a lot of bags.
Sam : Poor quality
Thing worked well for about 30 bags and it started to smell weird. Looked at the bottom and the heat coil was melting through the bottom plastic. Bad quality, don’t buy it.
Shayne : It really works
It is really perfect for plastic seal. Easy to use. No warm-up heating necessary.
Amazon Customer : Works very well
Works well, does what it’s suppose to, I’m happy with my purchase
T. Howell : Works! Happy with my purchase!
Very nice product! Seals extra thick bags for dry goods for safe storage! You just got to make sure the seal is without crinkles.
RobertPitman : Doesn’t live up to expectations.
I had my hopes up that this sealer would get the job done. Unfortunately it does not. On the highest setting it has trouble making a complete seal.
KENCHELLE SMITH : Not bad.
I have been using it for over a year and the only time I have issues with it is when the heat strip needs to be replaced.
shelia : Value
I am so glad that i tried this out! It's a great value. It's easy to use and works well on the kraft gusset bags I use for my business.
Mr Bill 81 : Not good.
Didn't last.
RobertPitman : Doesn’t live up to expectations.
I had my hopes up that this sealer would get the job done. Unfortunately it does not. On the highest setting it has trouble making a complete seal.
ming li : Easy to used
I was so happy with this sealing machine it’s awesome and Great purchase for the pric.It works as expected and I'm pleased with it.
First,It's so easy to use,you just need to press the handle then you can hear the tick when seal is done and waiting 2.5-3.5 seconds to get seals optimal results for bag's sealing place smooth. But I'll mention briefly is that higher settings don't necessarily always mean a stronger seal. I recommend starting low and gradually increasing your settings from 2.5-4.5 temperature grade for the different thick bags.
Althought it takes a few trial and error takes to get the setting just right for the bags you are using, but once you get that, packaging cookies are a breeze! It does create and air tight seal, so make sure you remove some of the air from the bag before sealing if you are shipping so the bag doesn't pop in transit.
It comes with replacement consumable parts as well, so its bound to last for a long time - its one of the best purchases we've made to package chocolates, cookies and candies.
Best Fiji Kava Inc : takes a few seconds
The light turns off after 4 seconds then you need to hold another 2-3 seconds to fully seal. One bags take about 5-8 seconds. Not good if you seal a lot of bags.
Kojima : good
Very good, came fast and good!
Ramsey Olivencia : Quality control?
From the moment I received the sealer, it was not creating a consistent sealed line. It skipped in many areas. The mesh covering the metal strip that heats up has to be firmly stretched over the metal strip. For that, you have to remove the screws on only one side to remove the metal guard that holds the mesh down. Once I could reach the mesh, I used double sided tape under it and stretched it down over the tape. Then just screw the metal guard down again and it should work fine. You should periodically scrape the metal heating strip with a razor because it will have plastic build up.
Lorrie andrews : Quit working after just a few uses. I replaced heating element too, still not functional.
This worked for a couple of days and then quit. It still lights up and slightly warms but it no longer cuts the bag off or heats enough to form a seal. If I turn the heat up it burns the plastic in places, turning it black, while not sealing in other places. I replaced the heating element that it comes with, still not working. I’ve had too long to return, as I didn’t start using it right away. So now I get to throw it away along with my money. Save yours! Not worth it.
Chuck : Good, but needs dialed in very carefully.
I got this sealer to compliment my vacuum sealer. While I was hoping for a wide seal area, it is actually a quite narrow seal. But that's fine, still faster than the Vac when setting up multiple bags.
Just be careful to dial it in just right. The first few tries did not give a water/air tight seal due to small gaps in the seal. After fiddling with it, it now does the job.
Finally, be sure to wait a few seconds after light goes off before releasing handle or you can ruin the seal. It works well, but the seals are slightly weaker compared to the Vac.
L : Does NOT seal.
The bags were not sealing all the way. I moved it up and down. And some that had sealed, started opening within a few hours. I don’t recommend this. The instruction manual was written with so many grammatical errors.
Tracy : WOW
Had my doubts. However this little sealer is fantastic. Setting control, extra sealer change, well made, company seems extremely good about standing with their product working properly. Directions are clear. Has truly worked very well for me on the projects/crafts I'm working on. Honestly impressed !

BRITTNEY : Great product
This is a great product well made and very easy to use literally plug it in and its ready to go. Upon arrival I realized it is the EXACT same one we use at my work all-day long 2 shifts
shiao999 : Cheap and functional
Not bad, easy to use but take for a while to seal the thicker Kraft bag. It’s perfect for plastic
Francesca : Complete Junk
So cheaply made and literally broke after the first couple times of using. I was able to fix it the “first” time it broke but then it broke again after that and I gave up. I would have to hold the handle down at a weird angle just to get it to work. Another issue is that the heat doesn’t stay consistent. After sealing about 3-4 bags it just starts warping the bags no matter what heat level I turn it down to. This will be going in the trash. I just purchased a different one that was double the price but looks to be so much more sturdy.

Matthew D. : Works as advertised, very narrow seal line compared to other options.
I purchased this so I wouldn't need to use my FoodSaver every time I needed to just seal something without vacuum packaging. This is very easy to use, very quick, but the seal is a very thin line. I like that I can adjust the seal time, but my FoodSaver usually does a better seal.
Debbie : Stopped working after 2 months.
My sealer stopped working after 2 months. I thought it has the bags but after purchasing new bags I realized it was the sealer. It wouldn’t full seal, it would have holes or the whole seam would open up. I cleaned it and changed the strip but it still kept happening. Very disappointing!!!
Dear MR.J : CHEAP sealer
I got a few things to share. I was looking heat sealer for shrinking plastic and I bought this Vimi heat sealer mainly because I was limited in budget. I was amazed that it had so many good reviews but not so satisfied when I received them. First, it looks CHEAP. The machine barely worked. It was doing okay with thin shrinking plastic but not so ideal with thick ones. I literally have to do double sealing which was time-consuming. Also, sometimes, it would have a problem heating up. Overall. taking too long to do the sealing job.
Mallory : Easy to use, high quality
Great! Very pleased with ease of use. It’s also not super heavy! What a nice surprise compared to my old one
Melissa meme : Very efficient
Works.great. wait for red light to.go off and bam it is sealed!
Andy Blanc : Not always sealed
Does not always seal properly. Very small seal. Dissatisfied
shiao999 : Cheap and functional
Not bad, easy to use but take for a while to seal the thicker Kraft bag. It’s perfect for plastic
Nina stjohn : Very short time for the outlet
I have purchased one of these in the past and that’s all he’s worked great until recently and force me to purchase a new one. The only downside with this one is the cord is 2 feet shorter than the one I purchased before so I had to rearrange to be able to reach the outlet
Mallory : Easy to use, high quality
Great! Very pleased with ease of use. It’s also not super heavy! What a nice surprise compared to my old one
Kiara Hamilton : Stopped working after 4 uses
I’ve used this 4 times and niw it’s not working at all !!

Minling Zhang : Amazing!
The bag is sealed within three seconds, and the key is finding the right temperature for the right thickness of material. You can easily seal the bag once you get the hang of the right temperatures for different materials.
Perry Hill : Never worked right out of the box.
This product didn't work straight out of the box. Purchased the item a month ago tried to use it recently and guess what? that right it would not power on. Also the knob that turn the heating element up or down is very flimsy. Sent an email asking for help with the product, haven't heard any thus far, although it only been two weeks.
CJ : Works fine
Using it for Mylar balloons. Super easy to use.
