Questions about Vacuum Sealer Machine by Entrige, Automatic Food Sealer for Food Savers w /Starter Kit, Dry Moist Food Modes, Easy to Clean, Led Indicator Lights, Compact Design, Silver(Stainless Steel)
Q:
This item can vacuum soup based food?
Answer: I use food prep containers like these https://smile.amazon.com/Freshware-Containers-Compartment-Stackable-Dishwasher/dp/B073TRVFZS/ref=sr_1_5 to first freeze what I want to store. When frozen, I remove the item from the container and then vacuum seal the frozen food. As these fit in the sealer bags, sometimes I freeze container too. Just the bottom part, not with the lid. No mess..if you're quick. LOL
Answer: A really handy way to vacuum seal soupy stuff is put it in a low wide container not bigger than sealer bags. Freeze, pop out, put the frozen chunk of frozen liquid into the vacuum bag and seal. No mess, works like a charm! Cheers!
Q:
Vacuum no longer sucks air on any setting any assistance with this issue would be appreciated
Answer: It is a little particular about where you put the mouth of the bag, especially if you are using a roll and the plastic has a curvature. The mouth needs to stay in the center of the vacuum chamber AFTER you close the lid. Sometimes it takes a second or third try.
Answer: Mine has done the same thing. I used once a few months back, today I went to use and it won't suck any air out. Disappointed in this product.
Answer: Same thing here. Worked fine the first day using it, second time out of the box it would vac half the air out if you were lucky, then seal the bag. Their customer service has been HORRIBLE to deal with.
Answer: If it were me, I would contact customer service. I have only used mine in a test and had no problems.
Q:
How do you return this machine? i've had for about a month and 1/2. used it 4 times. it died today. not worth the cost for 4 bag seals .
Answer: You can complain to Amazon if you want, but it is a no name bare bones ultra budget product with zero support. These are the kinds of things you buy for a quick fix and don't even bother crying about when they only work half a dozen times before hitting the garbage bin.
Answer: I wish i knew how also. I am dissatisfied with the sealer. doesn't suck all the air out of the bag before it seals it.
Answer: Not a good product. I tried to review to warn people but Amazon rejected my review because it talked about the “pay” to review efforts the seller makes. I am been scammed. This is not a 4.5 star product. Bout for $30 and they offered $30 credit for a good review and I know. Nothing good is free.
Answer: I had exactly the same problem. Returned it.
Q:
what is the largest width this model will seal?
Answer: The sealing strip is 11.5 inches wide.
Q:
I had a food saver sealer and quite a few rolls of sealer bag material left. smooth on one side and textured on the other. will work in this one?
Answer: Make sure you are using vacuum sealer bags with texture on one or both sides; the bags with no texture can only for seal, not for vacuum.
Q:
Is there any difference between the model e2902-ms in your store and the model e2900-ms in other stores?
Answer: Yes, our E2902-MS is a full stainless steel panel, and the E2902-MS is a new version of the E2900-MS.
Q:
Bought this and i cannot get it to work, help please! I followed the instructions, i can’t get stuff to vacuum seal, only seal. Help!
Answer: We did also and the first few times it was used it did vacuum seal; after about the third time it would only seal. I would not recommend this product to anyone....
Answer: Not a good product. I tried to review to warn people but Amazon rejected my review because it talked about the “pay” to review efforts the seller makes. I am been scammed. This is not a 4.5 star product. Bout for $30 and they offered $30 credit for a good review and I know. Nothing good is free.
Answer: it took me a couple trys too, you have to put the bag only half way in stop at the middle part then you have to press hard on the side closing mechanisum until you hear a snap on both sides then it works.
Answer: My husband and I both tried it and the only way we could get it to vacuum was to lean all or our body weight on it after we closed it and heard the clicks. We returned ours.
Answer: We couldn’t either at first, but realized you have to place the plastic in the front of the machine where the air will be sucked out and not past that point.
Q:
i just bought this vacuum sealer and it is not vacuuming. what can I do?
Answer: Return it and buy a food saver from Walmart. That’s what I did because my wasn’t vacuuming either.
Answer: I found that the 11 inch bags don't work . Try the 8 inch bags they seem to work fine.
Q:
I cant get it to vacuum seal.
Answer: Not a good product. I tried to review to warn people but Amazon rejected my review because it talked about the “pay” to review efforts the seller makes. I am been scammed. This is not a 4.5 star product. Bout for $30 and they offered $30 credit for a good review and I know. Nothing good is free.
Answer: Sent mine back and ordered the Icetek for the same price. Works much better.
Q:
Is this supposed to come with the accessory hose? The one I just purchased did not.
Answer: Yes, if says “with food sealer starter kit” mine had a short hose to attach to vacuum port on the Enterige machine. It can be used with Enterige vacuum sealed containers with special top on them. Also with minor alteration can be fitted to work with the Food Saver brand canning jar attachments. Amazon description says “1xvacuum sealer hose
Answer: The one I purchased did have a vacuum hose.
Answer: Yes it comes with hose. Very good machine
Answer: Mine did, but I'd advise sending it back and buying a better quality one. Mine quit vacuuming all the air after the first use. Customer service from them is terrible also. I will avoid this store and product with my life after this.
Answer: No, it doesn't..You'll have to buy the Jar sealer kit .

Answer: Ha! Thanks for asking, that’s why I came to the reviews. Why is there a baby blanket with my sealer?
Answer: Yes. It’s used on the stainless steel to shine it.
Answer: I wondered the same thing!! It's not listed on the box...I was so confused! I came here to find a link to email the seller and find out about it! So glad I wasn't the only one!! :)
Answer: Yes, not sure what for though
Q:
Is this supposed to have come with the canister? If not, where do I get it?
Answer: No it doesn't come with canister - think you can find them on amazon

Answer: Mine did not
Q:
Is this machine suppose to automatically seal on moist mode
Answer: Yes it will seal
Answer: One of the buttons is for moist/dry modes
Q:
“Seller” what is the actual Warranty ?
Answer: It's a total piece of garbage. Don't waste your money. I used it and it 'vacuumed and sealed' very slowly. A week later all bags had come unsealed. Spend a little more and get more. It only has good ratings because they offer to send you free bags if you give them five stars. I sent it back.
Answer: One year warranty
Answer: 1yr. Let me add that the machine is amazing. It works as well as those selling for 100 or more. Great find
Q:

Answer: It does not seal mylar bags. I use the ones they came with and I the FoodSaver brand bags also.
Answer: According to the instruction manual, it does.
Q:
Is there a reset button for the heating element? No longer seals after using it a few times. I followed instructions; waited time before each seal.
Answer: Not a good product. I tried to review to warn people but Amazon rejected my review because it talked about the “pay” to review efforts the seller makes. I am been scammed. This is not a 4.5 star product. Bout for $30 and they offered $30 credit for a good review and I know. Nothing good is free.
Answer: I would absolutely send it back. Cheapest way of course. It’s a paper weight now.
Q:
Can you use this with crackers?
Answer: Crackers would not work in any vacuum but you could seal the bag after expressing as much air as possible.
Answer: I would imagine so. You could skip the suction function so that they wouldn’t crack the crackers
Answer: Yes
Q:
What bags are recommended
Answer: Make sure you are using vacuum sealer bags with texture on one or both sides; the bags with no texture can only for seal, not for vacuum.
Answer: Hi! Any bags with grooves on the inside will do. I bought this one: Vacuum Sealer Rolls Bag, 6 Pack... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D8PKCWL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Answer: I have used just vacuum seal bags any will work.
Q:
Does this vacuum sealer make it air tight? I have a vacuum sealer that once "vacuumed sealed" you can still move the food around in the bag somewhat.
Answer: It for sure keeps things air tight! If you are doing meats, they will have a small amount of "wiggle room" because the meat expands once frozen.
Answer: It removes the air and makes it air tight. Food doesn't move around.
Answer: the same thing happens sometimes when the vacuume doesen't pull all the air from the baz.
Answer: yes it does
Q:
Is the packaging for this product discreet? I’m getting it as a gift.
Answer: It arrived in a larger Amazon box. Beware the "special offer" for free bags with a 5 star review is a bait and swap.
Answer: Mine came in a typical Amazon box
Q:
the machine has stopped working after 8 months. it's too late to return to amazon. how do I get the warranty?
Answer: Call the manufacturer
Q:
Will someone tell me specifically how to use the accessory feature (hose function)? which buttons, etc? I can't get it to work to seal jars. Thanks
Answer: I never used this before.
Q:
Can I return mine for testing if I have never seen the vacuum on it work?
Answer: You must put the sealer bag opening in the correct location of the vacuum sealer area. If put in too far, or not far enough, it doesn’t work. Also, must use textured bags for it to work properly. Don’t forget to LOCK the side locks before using, or it won’t work to seal. Hope this helps. Read instructions very carefully.
Q:
Does it only work with bags that have texture on both sides? I ordered it and now am using other bags with only texture on one side and it won’t work.
Q:
does this machine seal mylar bags?
Answer: No. This machine seals by melting
Answer: Yes it will seal mylar bags just the same way it seals other bags
Answer: I can’t say anything about Mylar but I tried regular zip lock bags. It sealed them but didn’t suck the air out
Q:
Does it have a hose for the jar sealer?
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes it does
Answer: yes it does.
Answer: Yes
Answer: YES IT DOES
Q:
Where can I buy containers that are compatible?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Tons of these are available on Amazon.
Q:
Which canisters fit the tube attachment that comes with this? Not all canisters have the same fitting. Entrige offers no help at all on this.
Answer: Don't buy it. It's horrible and useless. This is coming from an experienced vacuum sealer user. I made the mistake of purchasing this but rectified that mistake by sending it back for a refund.
Q:
Can you use any sealer bags with this - or is there a specific kind?
Answer: I used a generic kind, found on amazon, and worked just fine. Make sure they have a textured side to them (unlike a ziplock type bag)
Answer: I bought the first sealer bags that popped up in my search and they worked just as well as the ones that came with the sealer.
Answer: We have only used the bags it came with.
Answer: They all work I’m pretty sure
Q:
When I use the vac/seal button it will keep vacuuming forever and never seals? The seal function does work just by itself though.
Answer: I believe I made the same mistake and I suspect the end of your bag is not centered inside the vacuum ring/oval. It’s the area just past the heat seal strip. Make sure your bag opening doesn’t extend past that area.
Answer: Read the instructions and the picture associated with the unit. It took me a few times to figure it out, but it works great!
Answer: Mine was opposite. Seal worked and vacuum didn’t. Sent it back
Answer: Make sure the bag is positioned in between the 2 sealer bars. That happens occasionally to me when bag off a bit.
Answer: Sounds about right
Q:
Can you custom size each bag?
Answer: Yes you can. Bags that you customize come on a roll. You cut size you need seal the bottom. Fill it up then fill the top.
Q:

Q:
Will it work on fresh caught fish?
Answer: Yes, it has a dry and moist setting. It has sealed my chicken and beef flawlessly. Don't see why fish would be any different.
Answer: Yes it's great. I have used it for both already frozen and fresh fish!
Answer: It doesn't seem to work oin anything but yes, a better vacuum sealer will.
Answer: Dear customer，
Answer: I don’t see why not, there’s a wet and a dry button. I just love my food sealer!!
Answer: Don’t know why not just hit moist button and vac seal
Answer: Yes, just need to use the moist setting.
Q:
I received a business card with the sealer, saying, lifetime warranty, can this be verified? Entrige has not replied to my email!
Answer: We received one offering a gift card and haven’t received that either. Hopefully, a follow-up email will produce a positive result.
Q:
I press hard on both side of the lid but the lid never lock. I applied pressure by hand but it doesn't suck all air out. Is it a defective unit?
Answer: Mine does seem kinda tough to get the two tabs to lock. Try seeing if the lid locks while there arent any bags in the machine just to see if it locks, that what i did to see how hard to push. If it still doesnt lock then i would contact the seller
Answer: make sure that you only have the bag and not any of the contents in the machine. If it still does not lock, I would contact for some tech support.
Answer: The opening of the bag needs to sit inside the hole when closed, and as straight as possible.
Answer: Both sides should snap together if not then something must be wrong.

Q:
Where do i buy the compatible containers for the suction hose? i have searched amazon & can't find any that are entrige brand. please post link.
Answer: Hello, so sorry that our brand don't sell container. You can search for vacuum container. Please remember to buy containers that can be used for vacuum. Because our vacuum machine has the attached air sunction hose. It is recommended that when you buy a vacuum container, ask the buyer if there is a delivery tube. If there is, it is the best. At that time, you can combine the air sunction hose supplied with our vacuum machine and the air sunction hose delivered by the container.

Product reviews of Vacuum Sealer Machine by Entrige, Automatic Food Sealer for Food Savers w /Starter Kit, Dry Moist Food Modes, Easy to Clean, Led Indicator Lights, Compact Design, Silver(Stainless Steel)
Smith : Appology for bad review. (Watch out for false reviews)
I just received my Entrige Food Sealer and need to apologize to them for my previous review.. I tried 8 times, and it sealed fine but did not suck any air out of the bag. I was pretty frustrated and wrote a scathing review. In shopping for another model, I read a review by someone who wasn't putting the bag in right. When I tried again, I realized I was putting the bag in too far and was not leaving the bag opening in the chamber area between the gaskets. Once I did this, it worked great. It helps to read and understand the instructions. I was also able to use bags other than those sent with the machine. I have not had time to check how well things do in the freezer but plan to keep this vacuum sealer for a fair trial.
dunchloe : fell apart...
So I bought this, but waited over a month before trying it out. I felt confident since over 7k apparently loved it... I'd be okay, but no no no ... and I regret being fooled by such high reviews for such a cheap product. I really HATE this thing. I have to try twenty times before it works but... after a couple dozen times using to success, the whole thing broke at the hinges... No way to clean chicken juice out of the thing. junk junk junk junk junk junk I thought I was doing it wrong, and perhaps I had, but not THAT wrong. Do not buy...
Aig : Worked only 6 mos - Tried to buy my review.
UPDATE 4/2021: Manufacturer contacted me and offered $30 Amazon credit to remove my review. Two weeks later manufacturer contacted me & offered $45 Amazon credit to remove my review. I told them to credit the account and I'd update my review to say they helped. Told me they wanted me to remove the review first. I said no. Haven't heard from them since. Been 2 months.
Initially was quite pleased. Used up all original supplies. But quit working when tried to do a jar with a Food Saver attachment. Complete failure for that. Since then, when I do dry grains in pouch, will vacuum air out, but never seal. Big bummer.

Shopper For Life! : Do Not Buy DOES NOT WORK
5 stars for sealing, that has never been a problem with this item. -5 stars for vacuum seal ability. I can no longer deal with this product. Refund or not, it is going back. I can use a zip-lock and remove more air than THIS ITEM.
Noteworthy: You have to freeze or "dry" the contents PRIOR. What's the point of this product then?
I purchased with the hope of freezing meats in an airtight bag. If I must freeze before I try to vacuum seal (that does NOT work, what's the point?
Try another brand perhaps...
This one does not vacuum at all.

SN29 : Perfect for small kitchen
I just recently decided to replace my old FoodSaver vacuum sealer. It was several years old and was a hand me down. It was also the biggest pain to use, and huge, so I set out to find a vacuum sealer that was smaller, no frills and wasn't going to set me back $100.
At first glance, I was worried about this one, since, unlike a lot of people, I only read the bad reviews first and then move onto the good reviews if the bad doesn't completely turn me off. The bad reviews all follow the same pattern, it dies early in it's life, but the price was right and the good reviews also followed the same pattern, it works great. So I am taking the chance.
Right now, this sealer works great for me. Unlike my old one, I can keep this on hand stored in a cabinet and pull it out whenever I need it. I have taken to sealing tons of things I normally wouldn't have bothered with before. I've probably used this about 50 times since I got it with no problems.
Now, let's talk about wet items. Honestly, reading the bad reviews, I didn't even realize people just throw wet meat into the bags and seal them that way. I have always frozen most of my meat partially before vacuum sealing, especially steaks and chicken since I like to be able to open the bag and remove/reseal if I don't want to use the entire package. Meat also defrosts faster when it's not all clumped together. But I do package stuff like ground beef and bacon without freezing first, and I had no issues at all even when ground beef juice and bacon juice got up to the sealer. Only issue I had was with turkey lunch meat that was super wet, and that was more of a would it seal sorta experiment. Lunch meat, if I was sealing it for real, would get frozen into batches first, so it's a moot point for me.
The seal itself is very good. My old sealer had the thinnest seal strip that would sometimes fail. This one is a nice thick seal strip that has not failed yet.
Overall, I think that this sealer is a winner. We will see a few months from now if it stays a winner. It's price doesn't make me overly concerned about it's long term durability, but I would be pretty disappointed if it dies on me in a month or two. With this one, I will revisit this review in 6 months to see where we stand!

Faith : Loose vacuum seal
Disappointed. The vacuum sucks air very slowly from the bags. So far, about 2 or 3 of every 5 items I seal and freeze wind up sealed enough to prevent freezer burn. The rest experience crystals in the bag the first night they stay in the freezer.
I usually have to try and vacuum more than once. Sometimes I’ll have to start over. The air does not get sucked away from the corners or crevices of the meat, and the seal seems loose in general around the food.
I really hoped for better results based on my careful research of reviews. I don’t buy things without researching and this seemed like a good buy.
I do use the roll of bags that came with the vacuum so I know that incompatible bags isn’t the issue. It just seems that the item isn’t strong enough to suck all the air from the bag. I’ll use it but am not thrilled at all.
I’m sad the return window has passed.
I usually have to try and vacuum more than once. Sometimes I’ll have to start over. The air does not get sucked away from the corners or crevices of the meat, and the seal seems loose in general around the food.
I really hoped for better results based on my careful research of reviews. I don’t buy things without researching and this seemed like a good buy.

Linda Stewart : No idea which container will connect to the provided vacuum hose.
I just purchased this product, and it works quite well with the bags that were provided. However, the sealer also comes with a vacuum hose intended to be used to seal vacuum containers. Unfortunately,
Entrige itself does not manufacture such containers, nor does it mention which third-party containers are compatible with the specific hose fitting. There are many vacuum-able containers out there, such as Zwilling, FoodSaver, Casco, to name a few, some of which at a glance will not work with it. This seems like an inexcusable omission of information on the part of the manufacturer of this product.

EnjoyLife : Great for small batches
The Reverend A.J. Miller : NOPE
For clarity, I did not write this review in exchange for a free or discounted item. In fact, i turned down multiple offers of a discount from the manufacturer in exchange for writing a more positive review, or just deleting it.
this machine was bought as a replacement for a different vacuum sealer, which failed after 12 minutes of use. I bough this unit based on positive user reviews and affordable price point.
I was unable to seal a single bag with this machine. at one point I let the vacuum run for 3 minutes (!!!) waiting for it to vacuum seal the bag, before trying to trick the machine and manually seal it while the vacuum was engaged. it wouldn't fully seal the bag, even without vacuum - as if there was several small breaks in the heating element.
In the end, to avoid my getting even more upset, I decided to go ahead and spend the money and ended up with a Nesco VS-12 vacuum sealer, which I am very pleased with.

Maddy : Amazing vacuum sealer, fresh fruits and veggie last longer, soursop leaves
2nd vacuum sealer, gift for my son he liked mine and I got him one for his family. It has really saved me lots of money. Since the pandemic I subscribed to a fruits and vegetables weekly delivery. I chop them up, vacuum seal them and put in freezer the ones that can be frozen. I love this vacuum sealer, as you can see from the pictures I was able to seal around 50 or more "Guanabana-soursop" leaves in each pack. In the past my mom sent me some and they got moldy and dry, had to throw them away. I ordered this sealer and asked my mom to send me some more leaves from trees she has at her yard in Puerto Rico. They arrived fresh and I was able to seal them fresh and save them in the freezer. Im extremely happy. I use the leaves to make tea, its not been researched but the tea is said to be good against cancer cells and helps with inflammation. I've had cancer twice, suffer from fibromyalgia & sarcoidosis. I do get relief from the teas, Thank you Entrige, for making it possible for me to extend the freshness of my soursop leaves and my life. I have to admit, I went through my whole fridge and freezer sealing anything I found open, pantry as well. I also separated my dogs and cats treats and dry food in portions and sealed it. How cool is that! The pictures speak for themselves. This vacuum sealer will not disappoint you, as long as you follow the directions.
Reader : Game Changer
I first ordered a cheaper brand than this one and immediately regretted it and returned it and then tried this one. Because I came from a crappy one with crappy instructions this one feels like a miracle! Soooo easy to use and the instruction manual is very thorough and detailed and gives great suggestions and makes everything so easy to do! It also taught me something amazing...that cooked meat when vacuum sealed can last 10-15 days in the fridge!!! ????????????. It came with this beautiful cloth and the suction tube for accessories and a small starter assortment of bags. It works fast and well and if something doesn’t hold its seal just read their manual and they’ll tell you why! Most likely user error (fold in seam, food particles blocking seam etc). It’s also an attractive appliance so you can leave it on your counter for easy use. I bought it for long term food storage but after reading their manual I see that I will be using it daily for fridge items! Worth every penny. Don’t bother with cheaper ones from China, you get what you pay for.

D.R. : Works very well. What a timesaver.
This machine works very well. I sealed 11 bags of ground beef, 1 lb each. I think problems other buyers have experienced with it not sealing was due to user error because they didn't make sure the opening was smooth and wrinkle free. I had a couple not seal because of this, but they sealed well once I re-positioned and smoothed the edge. It's also important to leave enough space at the top to make it easier. This will save me a ton of money since I tend to leave food in the freezer and it gets freezer burn. So far I love it. I'll update my review after using it several more times.
UPDATE: 2 months later...... It worked well the last time I used it a couple of weeks ago. I got it out today to seal some meat, same as before, but now it will not vacuum out the air. I tried all the solutions in the Troubleshooting section of the product manual without success. I went to their website listed and it no longer exists. There is no phone number to be found anywhere. It looks like they may be out of business so I am returning it. I am downgrading the stars to one because I've only had it two months and used it only a couple of times. I give it one star because it worked well for that short time otherwise I'd give it zero stars for lack of any customer service.

M Stern : Do not buy! this appliance quit working in less than a year
It was great when it worked. In only 10 months, the sealing function no longer works. It will vacuum air out of the bag but will not heat seal the bag. Very disappointed. I expect appliances to last longer than a meager 10 months. If I could return it, I would
DRunner : GREAT VACUUM SEALER FOR THE PRICE
This is our first foray into the world of food vacuum sealers and we're really happy with our purchase. So far we've used it to seal fresh fish from the market, steaks, chicken breasts and a fresh vegetables from our garden (that we first blanched before freezing). Like any device, using it and getting to know its features is important. We were also pleased to see that it works well with generic brand bags that we also bought from Amazon. Bottom line: If you're looking for a good quality vacuum sealer at a price well below the competition, give this one a go.

Amanda : Don't hesitate, buy it!!
My wife has been wanting this for a long long time, finally, she got it! :)
She saw one of her friends had this kind of machine and she really loves it. She wanted to buy one but the big brand is kind of pricy which made her hesitate to buy it. She was searching on Amazon and found this. It has a great review and the price is reasonable, so she decided to give it a try! She is so glad she did it, lol...
It's such a handy machine, and very easy to use. It comes with a couple of precut storage bags and a roll of customized bags. She said it took her a couple of minutes to figure it out although the instruction is very clear. There are only a few buttons on the machine, u can use for dry and moist food. She did both and it turned out good, and it only takes a few seconds to sear. Look at the pic I attached. In this way, it helped to save the food longer and save some space in the fridge. She is happy, so I'm happy too.

Lumpy Hulk : Take your time and make sure the sealing edge of the bag is clean and dry.
I like everything about this product. It is my first vacuum sealer to own. It does everything it says it will do. I’m sure this will be repetitive for some, but you can save time and MONEY by buying bulk meat. This is chicken breast in the pic. I tenderize it and season it as soon as I get it home.
It saves a lot of time when I’m ready to grill. I’m sure there are other products on both sides of the spectrum that are less effective or simply a dream to use, but the Entrige really sucks and seals well.
I had gotten a card with this product to give it a review. I wanted to wait until I used the product to give it an honest review, but I waited too long and now that offer isn’t redeemable any longer. That should tell you that my review is honest and SINCERE! Thank you for reading.

Jade W : DO NOT BUY, I BOUGHT MYSELF TROUBLE
Suction power is much weaker than my last one which I bought 5 years ago at a lower price. Extremely picky on how flat the plastic bag lay on the edge and needs ling extra to make it work. I’m spending so much time trying to bag my food. I bought myself trouble. I hope you can avoid this.
Update: I received it January 2nd. Now it’s end of February. It completely lost the function of sucking the air out. It can seal the bags. Tried different brands of textured bags for food vacuum sealers, not sucking out the air not working at all now it’s a piece of junk. Reducing to 1 star for the two months’ life span or I would have wanted to give zero star.

genabil : Deceptive ratings
I purchase mainly based on star ratings from others. When I received this item I found a small card which said if I would give them a 5 star rating they would give me a $30.00 gift card to Amazon. In essence, making the unit a $30.00 item plus invalidating all the 5 star ratings I saw. I returned this item because of the noise, suction seemed weak and deceptive advertising.
SaMimi : DO NOT BUY!!
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODCUT!
IT IS JUNK!
I wanted to like this, but it's a poor piece of equipment that does not work properly. The bags, and I have tried differnt brands, never keep their seal.
I have had a vacuum sealer before that was good until it was not. This one just always sucks. And not even the way it's supposed to.

CharlesD : My Very First Food Vacuum Sealer -
After doing much research on food vacuum machines I've noticed a few things.
First, machine size really doesn't seem to matter. The larger size machines have space to accommodate a storage compartment for the sealer bags and a bag cutter. But they are all basically a vacuum pump, a sealing chamber and a metal strip that seals the bags.
Neither of these features really matters to me. Especially when it can add and additional $50-$100 to the price. All I was interested in was a well made machine, easy to use, uncomplicated operation and a form factor that would be easy to store, and not take up a lot of space.
I finally decided on the Entrige Vacuum Sealer Machine. The first thing that got my attention was the price. It was very reasonable. Next was the Star Ratings from owners. Then I read every single review about this particular food sealer.
That's when I decided to give the Entrige Sealer a try.
I am extremely happy with the food sealer. I've been vacuum sealing food for the past two days and the machine works flawlessly. The buttons are well labeled and operation is almost intuitive.
I would absolutely recommend the entire Vacuum Sealer.

Amazon Customer : Why Did I wait so Long?
I have had a hard time finding freezer paper during the pandemic and was trying to figure what I was going to do to freeze meat in my freezer. Then one day I was browsing on Amazon and saw the Entrige Vacuum Sealer for under $50 that promised to do a better job of freezing my meats and vegetables than freezer paper and so I thought it was time to try one. As I had never heard of Entrige I did a little research into other brands including Foodsaver before buying this sealer but pretty much everybody that had bought one loved it. Add me to the list. This machine is amazing and I can't imagine finding a better value than this. I've vacuum sealed steaks, brunswick stew, cheese. luncheon meats and even done some dried beans in mason jars with the FoodSaver Mason Lid Jar sealer attachment and they have all come out perfect. My only regret is not having one of these years ago.
Amazon Customer : Easy to use and works well.
I had been wanting a vacuum sealer for a long time and finally pulled the plug. As soon as I got this one I took several items that I had in my freezer in ziplock bags and vacuum sealed them. I sealed leftover pizza, sliced ham, and several bags of vegetables. It shrunk all the bags real tight just like packages you'd get from the store.
The main thing I wanted to seal was soup. I made a large pot of beef vegetable soup and froze individual servings in plastic bowls and once frozen, I took them out and vacuum sealed all of them. That worked much better than what I used to do, which was to stick a straw in the bags and suck out the air.

don : Don't waste your money
You get what you pay for. I thought we'd try this machine because it had 4.8 stars and a lot of positive reviews. We must have gotten a lemon. I had 9 frozen steaks to seal. Totally frozen, zero moisture. I had to reseal 4 of them. When I was done resealing those, 2 more bags had air in them. I don't mean just a little air, they had lost all the sealed suction. This piece of junk is going back tomorrow.
wave : Awsome little machine
EDIT. This machine was our first vacuum sealer and I was impressed at first we didn't use it all that much, then it got a little moisture in it and the moter fried. We had it on the moist setting and gentle we werent offered any type of return for this malfunction. They offer you an incentive for a 5 star review an e gift card, or a roll of vacuum seal bags which I wrote the review and chose the e gift card sent them the email confirmation but recieved nothing what a joke I know it is an inexpensive sealer but was very disappointed they wanted the review promiced a gift that I never recieved. An addition it was a somwhat finicky machine when it was working the bags had to be just right or wouldnt work.My only advice is look elswhere spend a bit more this is basically a throw away device.
This usvacuum sealer is impressive we have used it for many different types of food including chips, jerky, steaks, veggies, etc. We recently made a large batch of beef jerky. Froze them in small bags that I take for lunches. It is our first vacuum sealer this unit has great suction it removes pretty much all of the air out of the bags even with liquid in some of them. Very glad we purchased this vacuum sealer not to mention the great price we paid.

Tracy Shea : Absolutely worthless.
Worthless. No suction at all. Waste of money. Hasnt sealed a bag yet. Can't even suck the air out. Don't waste your money.
Smith : Appology for bad review. (Watch out for false reviews)
I just received my Entrige Food Sealer and need to apologize to them for my previous review.. I tried 8 times, and it sealed fine but did not suck any air out of the bag. I was pretty frustrated and wrote a scathing review. In shopping for another model, I read a review by someone who wasn't putting the bag in right. When I tried again, I realized I was putting the bag in too far and was not leaving the bag opening in the chamber area between the gaskets. Once I did this, it worked great. It helps to read and understand the instructions. I was also able to use bags other than those sent with the machine. I have not had time to check how well things do in the freezer but plan to keep this vacuum sealer for a fair trial.

Angel Chandler : Spend a little more and get a better one
It's a good machine for the price, but I'd pay a little more for an easier to use one. You have to push down, hard, to get it to snap in place for use. Also, if the bag doesn't line up exactly it won't work, not one tiny bit of wiggle room. Sometimes I have to open it up and line it up a few times before it works. It does the job once you snap it in place if you have the bag lined up perfectly and you hold your tongue just right.
Sarassheena : Don't, just don't.
This is cheaply made, the vacuum hasn't worked/doesn't work unless you get bag exactly where it's supposed to be. Air-bubbles. You get what you pay for, and I will not be going the cheap route anymore. No matter how many times they beg me to leave a good review - actually, it's more like a BRIBE. Not for any money would I recommend this.
Randy B. : Solid product, solid customer service
I used a Ziploc model 102 for ten years, and it worked reasonably well. I needed to buy an additional vacuum sealer and since Ziploc no longer is in that business, I searched Google for "Best vacuum sealer" to see comparisons and expert recommendations. On most of the websites, Entrige was ranked #1 or #2. I also reviewed Amazon, and found overwhelmingly positive reviews for the product and support. So I bought Entrige. So far I am quite pleased. It is easier to use than the Ziploc and there are far fewer rejects where the bags didn't seal. (due to better design and clearer instructions). I also liked that Entrige put in a "starter kit" of bags so I could try out which ones best fit my needs. While I haven't needed to contact customer support, Entrige sent me a "thank you" card that stressed their customer-focus, which is reassuring. I would certainly buy this product again.

David Rysdam : It works great...when it works at all.
About 10% of the time, it just refuses to vacuum the bag. After messing with it a few times, I think it's just poor design.
The bags are "ribbed" so the air has channels to escape through when the lid is closed. But let's say you just sealed some bags already. You put the next bag in and close the lid. The still-hot heater strip warms the bag enough that the ribs collapse, making it impossible for the vacuum pump to remove the air. It just sits there, doing nothing.
You now have to not only wait for the unit to cool but also throw away the flattened bag and use another. Time-consuming, frustrating and a waste of plastic.

the computer geek : There is a right way and not so right way to use this.
I bought this brand after doing a lot of research on food savers and going with the reader feedback for Entrige. The biggest complaint seemed to be getting it to seal. When I received I was ready to use it on some fresh veggies and meat I had ready to go into the freezer.
It took a couple times to figure out the sealing procedure and how to get the best seal. I was following the directions to press down on the corners to get the lid to lock down. Even doing that I could see I didn't have a total seal. Found out that what works best is to press the corners down from both the top and the bottom at the same time and wait until I hear the click to make sure it is truly closed and locked. This means I have to lift the machine up a little to reach under and hold down which is a little tricky when you have a bag in there. But practice makes perfect and it is working fine and the seal is nice and tight.
I am happy with this Entrige food saver and think it was worth the price I paid for it. Only time is going to tell if this product will continue to seal well so I can keep my food fresh in the freezer.

catwop-puss : suction...really suck the air out...dry only must read. foodsaver v entirge
it seem to work well bags ...if it lasts 7yr then name brand is gone... doesnt do wet well. does dry great.
so bought 1 of each... for most your needs the entirge the best, it has sensors the foodsaver doesnt have... and you can select gentile over the full compress and the vacuum stays on while sealing to keep it tighter foodsavers doesnt... foodsaver has better bags thicker bags... they also have off brand bags that are great...entrige bags are to thin. the entrige doesnt do wet as well but if you on a table it will do wet better... with a little thoughtful prep. less moving parts on the entrige... foodsaver has a more robust vacuum chamber more durable, but both motors probably last the same. egtrig is cheaper and you can buy cheap replacement foam if your ruin your vacuum chamber. 30-40$-160$+ cheaper then foodsaver. more functions. food saver charges shipping it use warrenty 30$. id say just get the entrige unless your buying for the wet bay that foodsaver has. my foodsaver came new from amazon with scuff marks on an undamaged box...

Maddy : Amazing vacuum sealer, fresh fruits and veggie last longer, soursop leaves
2nd vacuum sealer, gift for my son he liked mine and I got him one for his family. It has really saved me lots of money. Since the pandemic I subscribed to a fruits and vegetables weekly delivery. I chop them up, vacuum seal them and put in freezer the ones that can be frozen. I love this vacuum sealer, as you can see from the pictures I was able to seal around 50 or more "Guanabana-soursop" leaves in each pack. In the past my mom sent me some and they got moldy and dry, had to throw them away. I ordered this sealer and asked my mom to send me some more leaves from trees she has at her yard in Puerto Rico. They arrived fresh and I was able to seal them fresh and save them in the freezer. Im extremely happy. I use the leaves to make tea, its not been researched but the tea is said to be good against cancer cells and helps with inflammation. I've had cancer twice, suffer from fibromyalgia & sarcoidosis. I do get relief from the teas, Thank you Entrige, for making it possible for me to extend the freshness of my soursop leaves and my life. I have to admit, I went through my whole fridge and freezer sealing anything I found open, pantry as well. I also separated my dogs and cats treats and dry food in portions and sealed it. How cool is that! The pictures speak for themselves. This vacuum sealer will not disappoint you, as long as you follow the directions.
M Stern : Do not buy! this appliance quit working in less than a year
It was great when it worked. In only 10 months, the sealing function no longer works. It will vacuum air out of the bag but will not heat seal the bag. Very disappointed. I expect appliances to last longer than a meager 10 months. If I could return it, I would
AZ Scholar : Super easy to use and very efficient.
I am a great fan of vacuum sealing to preserve my frozen food. My old vacuum sealer finally wore out so I purchased the Entrige vacuum sealer uncertain of how well it would work since I was so used to my old one. I was pleasantly surprised. The technology has certainly improved in vacuum sealer‘s over the years. This one is much more automatic than my old one and to my surprise works much better. It has very good suction power and the sealer works to create a clean seal as long as you take a second and make sure there are no creases in the area that is to be fused. Would I recommend this sealer system? That is a resounding yes! For the price I don’t know that you could beat it.
Jillian Smith : Horrible Product
Extremely disappointed by this product. I read the reviews and was under the impression that this was a great product. Purchased the unit and used it as soon as it arrived to me. The suction is absolutely horrible. I had better from a much cheaper brand vacuum sealer. I have tried several different ways per the customer service line that I called and still the suction is horrible. I asked for a replacement but they refused to send me a new one. Very disappointed since the product issuer obviously realized there is an issue with my unit, and won’t replace. Just purchased and not a week old and no help. Zero stars for me!
Jason : Great vacuum sealer!
This is my first vacuum sealer purchase for myself, but I have plenty of experience using my moms Food Saver brand sealer. A newer, comparable product from the Food Saver brand (the space saving model) has five differences from this Entrige brand.
1. This vacuum sealer only requires weight to close the top vs. a large switch that has the “hand squeeze to close” button on the Food Saver brand.
2. This vacuum sealer is 2 pounds lighter.
3. While the length of this vacuum is about 2 inches longer, it is both shorter and less wide.
4. This model has both a “moist” setting for non-dry foods, and a “gentle setting for softer foods like breads and cakes that you don’t want smushed flat. The Food Saver brand only has one setting. (But honestly, who has cake sitting around long enough for the need to store it??? : ))
5. The most obvious difference is the price tag. At just half the cost of the Food Saver brand it does just as much, if not more work!
Highly recommend this product for anyone to try out!

Jade W : DO NOT BUY, I BOUGHT MYSELF TROUBLE
Suction power is much weaker than my last one which I bought 5 years ago at a lower price. Extremely picky on how flat the plastic bag lay on the edge and needs ling extra to make it work. I’m spending so much time trying to bag my food. I bought myself trouble. I hope you can avoid this.
Update: I received it January 2nd. Now it’s end of February. It completely lost the function of sucking the air out. It can seal the bags. Tried different brands of textured bags for food vacuum sealers, not sucking out the air not working at all now it’s a piece of junk. Reducing to 1 star for the two months’ life span or I would have wanted to give zero star.

Amazon Customer : Why Did I wait so Long?
I have had a hard time finding freezer paper during the pandemic and was trying to figure what I was going to do to freeze meat in my freezer. Then one day I was browsing on Amazon and saw the Entrige Vacuum Sealer for under $50 that promised to do a better job of freezing my meats and vegetables than freezer paper and so I thought it was time to try one. As I had never heard of Entrige I did a little research into other brands including Foodsaver before buying this sealer but pretty much everybody that had bought one loved it. Add me to the list. This machine is amazing and I can't imagine finding a better value than this. I've vacuum sealed steaks, brunswick stew, cheese. luncheon meats and even done some dried beans in mason jars with the FoodSaver Mason Lid Jar sealer attachment and they have all come out perfect. My only regret is not having one of these years ago.
Patrick Newman : Won’t vacuum
Mine will not vacuum and it’s very frustrating as this is the reason I bought it. Now it’s too late to return.
barbara : Easy Peasey and fun!
This is the first food sealer I have owned and it seems to do a very good job. I researched a lot of different food sealers to find one that was well rated, easy to clean and didn't cost a small fortune. I think I found it with the Entrige!
I re-sealed all the frozen meats that I had in my freezer-just took them out of the freezer bags they were in and placed them into a new food sealer bag and sealed them up. This is WAY better than sucking the air out of a freezer bag with a straw! I am looking forward to frequent use of this machine.
It was a little tricky at first to learn how to press on both sides to lock it before sealing, but once figured out it was an easy, repetitive operation to re-package about 20 packages of meat. Looking good from the first experience!I
It is going to be easy to store until needed and I think I prefer the option of cutting from a roll rather than using ready made bags. Using a small personal home office paper cutter worked dandy for measuring length and giving a nice straight cut to the edge. Happy user so far!

Deb Franklin : A Great Kitchen Addition!
I received the Entrige Vacuum Sealer machine quickly. The packaging was well done and the inclusion of ready made gallon bags and a roll of make-your-own 8" bags was appreciated. I have a 7 cubic foot chest freezer that I have filled to the brim with food and I was looking for a product to replace the zip lock bags that I have been using to wrap the food. I chose the Entrige system because it had everything I was looking for in a food sealer without the high price. The first time I used it I decided to seal all of the snacks that I had wrapped in zip lock bags and a few entré items. It performed beyond my expectations. As you can see in the picture, I did pizza bites, burritos and garlic bread. I used the make your own bags and sealed one end, placed the food in the bag and then vacuum sealed each item. It worked great! When it came to the garlic bread, I didn't want crushed bread so I set it on 'gentle' and watched closely until it reached the vacuum amount I was satisfied with, then I tapped 'seal' and it was done to perfection. The garlic bread was adequately sealed but not crushed. I continued to vacuum seal frozen blueberries, peaches and cranberries. I did hot dog and hamburger rolls, chicken patties and hamburger patties without any issues. I also did fish filets and sausage links. Each item was sealed perfectly. If you want to do soups (which I did some beef stew) you would have to freeze the soup or stew first in a container then transfer it to the vacuum seal bag so the vacuum doesn't pull the liquid out of the bag. But, once again it performed perfectly as described. It was easy to use and easy to clean afterwards with the included cleaning cloth and I stored it in an open shelf in my kitchen for quick access. It's compact and convenient to store.
I would recommend the Entrige Vacuum Sealer system without hesitation, it's an excellent product with excellent vacuum. I would definitely buy it again and will give it as a gift the next time I need a housewarming present.

Ren M : Been using it for two months, so far so good.
This vacuum sealer is pretty good! I like to make sure I give things a thorough try before I give a review. I have been using it for 2 full months now and have not had any issues with it. Its pretty easy to use and the suction is great. I use it to meal prep so when I need to chop up veggies and precook food, this sealer comes in handy. It has helped me to significantly reduce waste on foods that I may not get to right away. I have been finding that things last several weeks longer (especially if put in the freezer) than they do if I just used zip lock bags or bowls. To use it, you just put the opening of the bag in the middle, push the top part down until it clicks, and then select the proper sealing button. It was so easy, my husband used it all on his own with me only having to demonstrate one time! Haha! It also takes up very little counter space, which is another thing I was looking for in a vacuum sealer. If you're thinking about getting one, go ahead and get it. You will not be disappointed. I chose this one out of all of the other ones available and I'm very happy with it!.
AW : It works!
There are so many vacuum sealers on sale at Amazon with varying features and price points, making it very difficult for a first time buyer like me to find one that works as advertised. After a few weeks of research, I still couldn't decide on which one to buy. I went with Entrige because of the specs and consistently positive reviews. No, it's not the cheapest, and nor does it have the built-in cutter and compartment for the vacuum sealer rolls, two features I initially really desired. But according to the reviews, it seems to offer strong suction power and tight seal, which is important to sous vide, as well as costs less than $50, I decided to pull the trigger.
I have used the vacuum sealer several times since I received it about two weeks ago. So far so good...I vacuum sealed vegetables and didn't notice any sign of air in the bags after a few days. I also used it to vacuum sealed a few bags of protein for sous vide cooking. Sealing dry food (e.g., protein with dry rub) was very easy. Vacuum-sealed moist food like marinated meat was a bit tricky - I was able to seal the bags easily as long as I was careful enough to keep the moisture out of the area nearby the closure. I wasn't able to vacuum-seal the moist food, but the machine was able to suck some air out and seal the bags. According to the manual, one is supposed the freeze the moist food first before vacuum seal it, so I wasn't disappointed. After 2 hours of sous vide cooking, there was no water getting in the bags, which proves the machine does what it advertises!
The machine has nice design - it has stainless steel finish on the top and is not bulky. The clean-up is easy too. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.
