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 .

Did anyone else receive a random, rolled up pink and green towel with theor vacuum sealer???
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

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)
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.

Sara S : Awesome Vacuum Sealer!
I have wanted a vacuum sealer for so long, but kept putting it off. I was so excited to get this vacuum sealer! I have now vacuum sealed everything that I have in the freezer. It is so easy to use. It really does a good job of vacuuming out the air. It seals the bags well. It takes a little bit of time to figure out the right size to cut on the roll, and if it isn't working right, it's probably that you have too much bag, or didn't set it in there right. When it is all done right, it works every time. So, have patience with yourself. The machine is awesome! I have not used the canister tube yet, so I can't say anything about that. This is a great machine at a great price. I wish I had ordered it sooner. I also ordered some of the bulk rolls and they work great in it too. I suggest ordering some rolls when you order the machine because you're gonna want to vacuum seal everything.
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!
Pictured is the sealer and part of our garden haul this year, regular sized scissors for scale. : )

Dad the engineer : Terrific vacuum sealer!
I've had other vacuum sealers in the past and paid a lot more for them, but this one is better. I was skeptical at first for the amount that it cost. However, I read the reviews and figured I'd take the risk. With all the Covid stuff going on I wanted to be a little more prepared and get all my frozen meats out of zip lock bags and vacuum sealed. So far, I've only use the bag sealer and it has done beautifully. For first time vacuum sealers, as word of advice, it is best to flash freeze your meat first (using another bag or even a tray). Lay all the meat out individually. Then you take the frozen meat and place them in the vacuum sealer bags. It really does a great job eliminating the air. There is also a setting for moist or dry foods. I even vacuum seal bread. Just place the bread in the freezer (in original packaging) overnight and the next day place it in vacuum sealer bag. I am pleased with this purchase. The product looks good and is quick/easy to use.
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.

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!
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.

byakuya : Price, Function, Durability
I've had this vacuum sealer for over a month now and I can say with confidence that its worth every penny. I refrained myself from reviewing products personally, but this product just had to be shared. I've been using this for multiple purposes from sealing processed food to packaging items. It has been a month+ since I've begun to use it and it seems to be holding up and working flawlessly. For the price of $53.49 to include a Lifetime Warranty is just a steal, of course within reason of it breaking. I'm a first time user myself so I was personally a bit uneasy to be working with such a new product. It comes with easy step by step instructions easy enough to read and understand for anyone. I hope this review was helpful for those who were seeking questions.
ShoppingFool62 : Disappointed
After weeks of effort and watching multiple youtube.com videos in order to be able to dismiss user error, I have to finally admit defeat. It doesn't work. Lights come on. A sound is heard for two minutes before it shuts off. But it does not heat to seal. It does not vacuum out air. I might have been able to return it, but I threw away all the packaging and box. It is super easy to understand how it is supposed to work. The direction are very clear. It is not super bulky or heavy and is easy to store. Mine just didn't work. Happing food vacuuming. :(
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.

Cameron Andreasen : Edited Review: Not working after four months of use!!!
Great product for the price. I can’t speak to longevity because I just bought it but it worked great right out of the box.
***Update as of November 11, 2020 it completely stopped working. My first review was correct as it worked well and I am 4 months in and the machine isn’t working at all. Completely disappointing that after my return timeframe expires it dies. Spend the money, get a better brand, it’s worth it in the long run as I can vouch it will die on you four months in.

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.
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.

GA Voter : Worked once and never again.
The sealer worked when we first bought it. We usually buy in bulk, then seal and freeze; so, we didn't try to use it again for a month. The vacuum part seemed to work well, but when we pushed the 'seal' button, the vacuum stopped and air was sucked back into the bag. Unfortunately, because of the way we buy in bulk, the return window had closed by the time we tried to use it the second time.
Mark Merritt : Could not be happier with this purchase
My wife and I are now "empty nesters" and have downsized from a 2,500 square foot home on five and a half acres to an 850 square foot cottage in town... Two challenges exist for nearly every food purchase: space and storage...
Space in nearly every aspect of our lives is precious... It is particularly significant in food storage... We have a single refrigerator / freezer now instead of two full refrigerators and two freezers previously... Much of the food we purchase is far more economical in units larger than one meal for two people... Keeping unused or left over portions wholesome and tasty is a significant issue...
A friend recommended we consider a shrink wrap sealer machine... We did some homework and decided on the Vacuum Sealer Machine by Entrige... Could not be happier... This nearly eighty year-old really likes the ease of use and simplicity of the instructions...
We started by "repackaging" many of the large bagged items in our freezer (shrimp, scallops, vegetables, meats, etc.) into single meals for two portions using this machine... We gained back nearly a quarter of the space taken by the larger packages... Not only were the packages smaller but also they could be fitted into the nooks and crannies of space that were impossible for the larger packages... And, the new packages are truly airtight which would not have been possible even with freezer zipper bags...
We've "played" with the machine on food that comes from the store in Mylar style bags: potato chips, cookies, etc. The machine quickly evacuates the air and seals the bags with the uneaten food it them... Contents were crisp and tasty even days after sealing... We cooked more than we ate for Thanksgiving... We've bagged and vacuum sealed leftovers for refrigerator or freezer... The look great... Will update this review in a few weeks to share how that worked out... But, if what we've seen to this point is any indication, I'm sure it will be fine...
This machine just may show up under the Christmas tree for several of our adult children and grandchildren...

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!
Pictured is the sealer and part of our garden haul this year, regular sized scissors for scale. : )

EnjoyLife : Great for small batches
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.

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.

Trip : Before buying a GERYON or FoodSaver you should Look at this one by Entrige
Ok, did a lot of research before buying this product. I have a FoodSaver that died and was a complete pain to use and clean. In looking for a new one I wanted to find a product that just worked. I found it.
Pros:
- The sealer and bag prep just works: lock, push the button and sealed. My food saver was hit and miss here.
- The Vacuum is strong, works great, no issues.
- Buttons are very clearly marked.
- Delivered to my door, opened box and was sealing within minutes.
- Very easy to clean and store. Again, my FoodSaver always felt dirty. This is easier to clean.
Cons:
- If you cut the bag too small (like half width on the roll), the vacuum seal never stops. On my FoodSaver you could hit a button to stop the process at the current vacuum and seal. But it got me there. This is really me wanting to use smaller bag width. Seems like a waste but whatever.
- The food saver had a built in cutter for bags. Meh. Not a big deal, keep scissors close by.
That's really it. Love this device. Can't go wrong for the money if you just want something for simple sealing.
Now, as I mentioned, comparing this to the GERYON. Take a close look. This unit costs $45 and the GERYON costs $69. That seems to be the only difference between the two. The specs are the same, the buttons are labeled the same, even the marketing literature is along the same lines (Check out the graphic for water and washing, looks pretty similar, no?). All differences appear to be cosmetic. Which leads me to believe these are sourced from the same factory (a hunch).
I think I made the right choice for my uses and saved some money in the long run.

PH : Quality product, easy to use and clean. It works!
Very convenient and practical! After wasting food by wrapping in conventional plastic bags - it was time to get a food vacuum sealer that was affordable and actually worked! I was impressed by the Amazon reviews of the Entrige sealer and the quality of their bags. After using it, I can see why the reviews are so enthusiastic! The machine itself is lightweight and very easy to operate and clean. I have used other food sealers in the past but found them unreliable, messy and overpriced. Not only can I protect my food from air and freezer burn, extending the life of opened items (e.g., bacon or sandwich meats) but I can more economically make larger left-over batches knowing they will be preserved and fresh when opened. We are planning some car travel trips in the months ahead and will be bringing along our Entrige food vacuum sealer to ensure fresh nuts, snacks and open perishables in our ice cooler. Their starter kit includes five bags and a small roll of customizable bags which are food-grade quality and works perfectly.

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.
Roberta L : So Easy to Use!
I bought this product mainly for freezing leftovers instead of using freezer bags that aren't vacuum sealed. Our first use, however, was to split up a large package of breakfast sausage patties and freeze them. I had trouble with the first bag because I didn't have the opening in the vacuum area. Once I figured that out, it works great! So easy too! I love it! I foresee using it often in the future, especially at Christmas time when I bake a bazillion cookies. We put dozens of them in freezer bags, partially seal the bag, stick a straw in the bag to suck out the air before sealing completely. This vacuum sealer is going to be worth every penny spent on it when I don't have to choke on powdered sugar anymore!

Tyler Morgan : Seals food well at a fantastic price point!
I purchased this vacuum sealer and have used it for approximately one month.
I wanted to run it through the ringer before leaving a review and I have to say, it held up to everything I have thrown at it. Wet food, dry food, delicate food, sharp bones in hard food. I have had no issues!
I recently started making my own sausages and when I brought some over to a friend (who owns a butcher shop) he marveled at the quality of the packaging and mentioned how he has had many problems in the past with other vacuum sealers busting the sausage castings. I directed him towards this product and he has since, purchased it and shares my upmost appreciation for it's quality. If you are on the fence about purchasing, take Shia Lebouf's advice and "JUST DO IT". No more frostbitten food from the archimedes method of displacing the air in a ziplock bag by dunking it in a sink full of water. Just Frozen food, easily thawed, with no hassle! Thank you for taking the time to read this review! Hopefully you purchase this product and share in my enthusiasm!

Amazon Customer : They sold me an open box return item as brand new.
I bought this because it was the number 1 item in Vacuum sealer. Overall the machine was OK but was very disappointed that the box came as an open/return item. It has bags missing and items plastic were previously opened and repacked poorly and sold as brand new. I emailed the Entrige and got no reply. Poor customer service.
Also the machine does NOT have an on off switch. What that means is every time I want to use it I have to plug into the wall and unplug it when I am not using it anymore. Once again I inquired via email but got no response.
The machine itself seems to be working fine. I am just concerned that if this machine goes bad, there will be no customer service for any type of warranty.

Shawn : Excellent Well Built Sealer
I was quite impressed with this vacuum sealer. I had limited experience with vacuum sealers as I last used one in the late 1970's. Yes, I am that old but still thinking young.
I was very impressed with this vacuum sealer when I first removed it from its box. It was very well built and you could tell this by its weight. The outer portion is aluminum or stainless steel and looks very nice. It is also very easy to clean with a simple wipe or two. The first time I used just the sealer I did not get a good seal. This is because it has to be used several times at first to warm up the sealing bar. This is in the manual but I overlooked it of course. After the sealing bar warmed up it worked perfectly and did not take long when sealing a bag. This is especially good when you buy the sealing material on a long roll and have to seal both ends. First you cut your desired length then seal the "bottom" of the bag. Flip the bag over and put your item in and place the other end in the proper area for a vacuum and a seal. The machine quickly removes the air from the bag after first sealing the open end. It signals you when it is finished and then you release the latches and you are done. Importantly, in order to get a good seal, make sure both latches on the top cover are secure before starting.
An added bonus is an attachment to remove the air from certain containers. I have never used any containers that could be vacuum sealed before. However, as soon a we can find what we need in vaccum sealable containers, we will.
Overall I am impressed with the build and quality of this vacuum sealer. In addition, I am very satisfied with the performance of this vacuum sealer. You cannot beat it for the price and I highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting to save money and food.

Overall I am impressed with the build and quality of this vacuum sealer. In addition, I am very satisfied with the performance of this vacuum sealer. You cannot beat it for the price and I highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting to save money and food.
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.

Solution_Coach : Works better than the other brands
I bought this to replace a vacuum sealer I bought on Amazon about three months earlier. I was expecting that I would have to press down hard on either side to close it, but the old vacuum sealer never latched securely. About every 2 to 3 times it would latch securely enough to use the sealing function. This Entrige brand only cost a few dollars more than the other brand and works so much better. The locking mechanism is easy to use, not much pressure is needed to close it, and it works every time. The suction power is strong. I wish this brand had a built-in bag cutter but learned that was a feature I was willing to give up in favor of it working every time I needed it. It doesn’t really have a usable storage compartment for the bags so I keep them separate from the unit. I had always wanted a vacuum sealer to save money from throwing away spoiled food and to start doing sous vide cooking. I was so disappointed in the whole vacuum sealing experience based on my first purchase, but this unit has redeemed my belief in vacuum sealing.
Blueflame : Short life span
If I had reviewed this in July 2020 when I purchased the vacuum sealer, I would have rated it with five stars. I was happy with the way it sealed. It did an excellant job at first. It started to give me trouble on occasion but I could work around it by turning the sealer off and on again. I also noticed that some of the seals wern't as strong as they were when I first got the unit with packages becoming unsealed in the freezer. Finally the vacuum sealer quit sealing all together and this was with minimal use. I sealed approximately six bags every two weeks. I wish the unit had a longer life span. I'm disappointed not even getting a year of use from it. I rate it as a "don't buy."
**FYI Since my review I've been contacted numerous times by the company offering me varying amounts of money to change my review to a positive one. I won't do it. Apparently this is how this product has so many good reviews. Unscrupulous tactics. Disappointing.

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.

Weho Shopper : Light but Sturdy and Easy to Use
I got this Entrige Vacuum Sealer as a replacement for a 20-year-old Foodsaver. When I first got it, I thought the Entrige was too light to be any good (the Foodsaver was quite heavy) and considered returning it because it felt so cheap. But after using it for several months, I can say it performs better than the Foodsaver I had. The lightness is an advantage because it's easier to move around, so I can get it out and put it away for small jobs I wouldn't have bothered with before. And, the lid clamps down for sealing, so I don't have to hold down the sides as with the old one. I can actually prepare the next bag while one bag is vacuum-packing. What I've also found is that it isn't nearly as fussy as the Food saver about vacuuming and sealing. On the Foodsaver, the bag wouldn't seal if there was a droplet of water or grain of food anywhere near the vacuuming/sealing line. The Entrige doesn't seem to care whether there's a bit of water of a stray smear of food and plows right through, meaning that I save time by not having to wipe the opening of each bag after I put the food in. Easy to use, light, and much less expensive than it's heavier competition. Recommended.
Mark B : Easy to use and reliable
After toying with the idea of buying a food vacuum sealer for years, I finally took the plunge and am so happy I chose this product. My plan was to use it primarily for storing bulk food long term, as my wife and I both love Costco meats but rarely eat enough steak/chicken/pork/salmon to make it worth buying the large quantities. I have used it so far to make vacuum sealed freezer ready portions of all of the above meats. The sealer was easy to use with intuitive buttons and set up, although the instruction manual does spell everything out as well. I also have used it to marinate our meat and holy cow, compared to regular ziplock bags, there is SO much more flavor with vac sealing for the marinade as it allows for constant contact of the flavors. Lastly, I like that the product comes in a nice box which I plan to keep it in when not in use and it fits nicely in one of our bottom cupboards. Overall, highly recommend.
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.

byakuya : Price, Function, Durability
I've had this vacuum sealer for over a month now and I can say with confidence that its worth every penny. I refrained myself from reviewing products personally, but this product just had to be shared. I've been using this for multiple purposes from sealing processed food to packaging items. It has been a month+ since I've begun to use it and it seems to be holding up and working flawlessly. For the price of $53.49 to include a Lifetime Warranty is just a steal, of course within reason of it breaking. I'm a first time user myself so I was personally a bit uneasy to be working with such a new product. It comes with easy step by step instructions easy enough to read and understand for anyone. I hope this review was helpful for those who were seeking questions.
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.

David Ingland : bought protection plan and have spent hrs. trying to get through because it does not work!
Ordered this product end of October for a Christmas gift for adult daughter living out of my state. Gave to her New Year's weekend. She used it 3 times and the vacuum just stopped working! I have tried to call, email, and contact AMAZON with no replies or help for any of them. I bought the Asurion 4 yr. protection plan so I called on that because I got no reply from the claim filed........on hold on phone for 30 mins with no answer.
I PAID $33.99 + Tx. + $6.99 for a useless protection plan! PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY TO MY AMAZON ACCOUNT AND I WILL THROW IT OUT.......TOTAL $43.00

Olivia's Baka : A machine that really works well
I used it for the first time today and I was delighted with the results. Mind you, I messed up the first bag as I didn't insert it correctly. Unfortunately the instructions are a bit loose on that aspect. Once I figured out what to do, it really went very smoothly and worked out a treat. I was tired of my meats getting freezer burn from being wrapped in plain plastic wrap and plastic bags and I am hoping that this will stop that freezer burn. Once you get the hang of it, it works very quickly and I was able to put all my chicken pieces into vacuum bags without any problem. The 8" x 12" bags seems to be the perfect size for most of my requirements. I haven't had a chance to try out the roll yet but I'm sure it will work just as well. It is quick, easy, and performs very well. Time will tell how well it lasts. I love it so far.
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.
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.

Treniece : I wanted to love it
Doesn't suck up all the air. After reading the reviews this was big let down.
Kaz : Disappointed
I bought this cause I wanted to start vacuum sealing food before placing in the freezer. I have had no success with getting this item to vacuum out the air in the bags before sealing. It says it is vacuuming and is making a sound like the suction is on and after a while it does seal the bag but it has not vacuum the air out.. So the air is sealed INSIDE the bag. This isn't what I paid for. I will be buying a different brand after this.
C. Evans : Quality Little Machine
A friend gave me access to his "Silver Queen" cornfield and my blueberries and blackberries produced more than I could eat, so after careful research, I bought this item. I've never used one before. I purchased two different sizes of rolled material to use.
PRO:
(1) SIMPLE: I imagine all these items are simple to work but as a first-time user, I found it easy and straightforward.
(2) QUALITY: I have sealed nearly 20 bags of corn, 6 bags of blackberries, and 6 bags of blueberries. I notice no difference in the operation at all. Opens, closes, seals just like new.
CON:
(can't think of any)
Conclusion:
I haven't used the "wine vacuum" thing. Nor have I tried softer vacuuming (as it allows for) but I imagine it will do fine. The next batch of banana bread and zucchini bread I make will be frozen. I keep it on a shelf under the counter and have used it a few times for leftovers. Be aware any moisture in the item(s) you're sealing will be sucked to the opening and prevent a seal from happening--but this is the case for any of them I suspect. My friend has a different one and he has the same concern. So, this will not cause a lower rating.
I highly recommend this product.
I use Amazon reviews extensively to make decisions on my purchases. It follows that I should honestly review items that I have liked (or not liked) so as to benefit other Amazon customers (as I would have them do for me).
If you found this review helpful, please take time to give me a “check mark”. LLBB
