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: Yes, not sure what for though
Q:
Is this supposed to have come with the canister? If not, where do I get it?

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:
Energia 220v?
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)
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.
JohnnieGirrrl : Burn Hazard
Edited Review - Seller has sent 4 e-mails asking me to remove this review or change it to 5 stars in exchange for $30.00 - $40.00. They state they are using a different manufacturer now...however, my review relates to a design issue. If you decide to purchase, be sure there is a "nub" or a "tab" added to the device in order to lift the cover to avoid burning yourself. Unsure what they'll do (or claim to do) to fix the problem of loose and/or incomplete vacuum sealing.
I have now updated the rating from 2 stars to 1 star because I don't like the idea of "buying" a good review, especially when the item is a burn hazard.
Original Review - Doesn't remove all the air and there's no handle or "nub" to lift the cover after sealing. I've burnt myself once trying to get the thing open. Now I just struggle with it and very cautiously yet clumsily open the cover after sealing in order to avoid burning myself.
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.
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.
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.

Melodie L. : Why did I wait so long?
Why did I wait so long to purchase a vacuum sealer? I’ve wasted so much food over the years but not anymore! This product works great and it’s so quick and easy to use. The first thing I sealed were hamburger patties that were already frozen and stacked in a bag. I separated them and sealed 2 to a package because there are only two people in our house. Usually they end up getting so much freezer burn that they get tossed. I’m confident that they will stay perfectly sealed and ready for the grill whenever I need them. Next I sealed homemade protein bars that tended to go stale or grow mold before they were consumed. They are costly and I’ve had to throw to many away, wasting more money. It comes with some bags and a small roll of plastic bags to cut to the length you need. It also comes with an attachment to use for special containers. It will reseal chip bags, no need for bag clips and keeps your chips fresh. So many times I’ve had to throw away fresh fruit or vegetables because I didn’t get to use them before they went bad. I look forward to sealing them to help them stay fresh longer.
Barb M. : Great features at a good price!
I bought this sealer for it's features--loved the dry/moist and the regular vacuum/gentle vacuum. settings. It was a good price. I'm sure it's a great machine as it had many excellent reviews but unfortunately I just got a defective one and had to return it. Right out of the box, it would vacuum like a champ but wouldn't go to the seal part of the cycle. It was a brand new one too, no problem there. There was a food sealer on sale locally that I found in the meantime, so I replaced it at the store but I wouldn't have been afraid to get an exchange. That's just my luck! I needed it right away for a big purchase of meat I had made to put in the freezer so I couldn't wait for the replacement.
I only took a star off due to the disappointment and the time/trouble to run it to our UPS store to return it as it's in the next town from ours.

Shelly Dunn : It seals...and that's about it
No vacuum power at all and very noisy. I'm assuming, by all the positive reviews, I just received a defective machine (it happens sometimes) but I am going to return and not take any chances on another one. Disappointed after all the good reviews I sae.
baldrobguy : A must-have for the amateur and professional alike!
The Entrige vacuum sealer solves the issue of how much pressure to exert on your foods by having a simple set of buttons which ask simply "hard or soft" "dry or moist". My old sealer had no such settings and frequently crushed the food or squeezed the food out of the bag and into the machine necessitating a lengthy clean-up. The Entrige also comes apart easily for cleaning which is a real help .
The machine came with an ample supply of bags and rolled tubing to make your own bags to get you started. It also came with an accessory tube to use with vacuum containers (which I am dying to try out).
Great for those who cook for a crowd yet only have a mouth or two to feed. Leftovers can be boiled in the bag for a sous vide effect and the food comes out better than any reheat or microwave.
A must-have for the amateur and professional alike.
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.
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.
Truth Monger : Feels flimsy and erratic resutls
I had a high end food saver that went bad after about 4 years so I bought this to save $$. It feels like the unit is very sensitive to how thick the bags you use. It gives very erratic result to the point I dont know if this unit is bad. I have to try multiple times to get it to work,.
When it works, it does the job adequately, but with having to snap down the cover fairly hard every time, and having to wait at least 40 seconds between seals it doesnt feel like this thing would last long. I will give it a few more days before deciding if I am returning it, but I do wish I bought the warranty when I purchased the item.
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.
Little Lulu : I would like to know what the warranty is on this product
I bought this item from Amazon in July 2020. It worked great right out of the box, sealing large packages of meats into ones that were well suited for1. I went to use it today, Boo!, no heating element. The vacuum works but it is useless because the heat doesn't seal the bag. I looked on the box and found an email entrige.com, doesn't work.
I believe I'll think long and hard before I purchase a product from a company that you cannot contact for a warranty issue.
***Update*** I have received emails from Entrige offering me $30 Amazon gift cards if I change my 1 star rating to a 5 star. No Sir, I cannot be bought for anything, my review stands as it is!
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.
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
April S. : Vacuum seal did NOT work
Instructions were easy but I was very disappointed. While the sealing button Worked fine, it did not vacuum seal. We couldn’t get the suction to work. We turned it off and back on, and even tried different bags thinking we had a hole in the bag but this just didn’t work for us. I was hoping to try something different than the Food Saver brand but I may just go back. Needless to say we returned this.
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.
MDIrwin : So Easy!
I can not believe I did not buy this earlier! So easy to use and it has already saved me money.
I received the Vacuum Sealer Machine by Entrige four days after ordering it! Loved that!
Since then I have sealed a months worth of meat and veggies, but more importantly Left-overs! I always make more spaghetti sauce than I use in one meal. Most of the time it goes to waste. Now I freeze it in a plastic container, a serving at a time, then vacuum seal it. Now I just do the boiling bag and eat thing! Nothing wasted!
I am disabled. Many nights I am unable to stand over the stove and cook a meal. So TV Dinners. :-( Now I cook several meals in larger quantities, when I can, and freeze single portions for when I can not cook! Wonderful!
It, the Vacuum Sealer Machine by Entrige also saves me money because nothing goes to waste, and I can buy bigger and portion things up.
I had always thought this would have been overly expensive, but by buying the rolls it is just the opposite, quite affordable.
Give this a try, I believe you will like it as much as I am!
P.S. The cleaning cloth they include is a wonderful touch! Keeps the machine clean without scratches!
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!.
D. R. : Excellent and simple to use vacuum sealer!
Very pleased with this Entridge Vacuum Sealer. It does everything the product description claims and works flawlessly.
I had considered some of the larger, more expensive brands but I'm glad I decided on this model since it has a small footprint on the kitchen counter and has a stainless steel lid cladding that matches our other appliances.
At first, I had a couple of bags that weren't sealing because I had a wrinkle in the bag, but the trick to eliminating this is once the bag is in place, lock one side of the top and then with your now free hand, gently pull the other side of the bag taught before locking in the other side. Works every time.
As of this writing, as others have said, the company offers a gift certificate for leaving a review. As a long time Amazon buyer that relies on verified purchasers' reviews to help make buying decisions, I would not leave a good review to mislead others. This product absolutely deserves 5 stars because it's great!
Slow Reader, Old Eye's : Sorry my review's aren't for sell
I bought this because it was recommend by Amazon and had loads of good reviews. After receiving it it had a coupon for free bags if you gave it a 5 star review. My review's are not for sale! I don't review everything I buy but I am honest when I do. I try not to give bad reviews unless I truly believe it's warranted.
Let's start with the pros of the unit.
1. It's cost is good middle of the road.
2. It's seals the bags nicely and will do more than seal a meal will before it gets to hot.
3. It does pull a good vacuum although it is slower than others I've used.
4. The lid lock is almost a must for me as I am not that young anymore and it works. I like it better than the single lever used on the more expensive units.
5. The leds are somewhat helpful as to how close it is to having a good vacuum.
6. This one at first I hated but after sealing up more than 100lbs of smoked meat for my freezer I came to understand why it worked better than the units without it. When sealing up one end of a cut bag it draws a vacuum on the for a few seconds before sealing. I have noticed that I have fewer wrinkles on the seal. So I do like this a whole lot but it takes some getting used to.
Now the cons.
1. The is light and does not weigh much. I had a Black and Decker sealer that was the same way and it did good in the shop sealing up even heavy things. This unit does NOT have rubber feet. They are a hard material and slide around making it harder to use overall.
2. The dip area in the sealing area is very shallow, to shallow. It's make it harder to get the bags in right when the unit moves around and this unit is super easy to move around.
3. The short cord means you have to be close to your outlet. I would like the better if it had a longer cord
The few con's I have about the unit are big ones even though they may seem small at first. If it had rubber feet so it didn't move so much and a deeper drip bay then this unit very hard to beat. As it is it's not the easiest to use but does a good.
JudyD : Bag doesn't fully seal across top
Brand new out of the box today. I tried to seal 2 c chopped rhubarb for the freezer. The unit pulled a good vacuum and the 'seal' light came on as expected. However, as soon as I opened the unit I could see and hear air sucking back into the bag. I tried 4 times. I trimmed the supplied bag down to get to fresh plastic, wiped it with a paper towel, tried a new bag. Nothing. On the 5th attempt, after pressing the 'vac seal' button and watching the vacuum, I pressed the 'seal' button manually and the bag finally sealed.
I had a Food Saver that lasted 15+ yrs, and an off-brand that lasted 10+ yrs. This one is going back tomorrow.
No, I do NOT recommend. The box includes a card for a $30 Amazon gift card for a 5-star review. I think this is why there are so many 5 star reviews.
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.
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.
Suzy O : Not the easiest to use and lasted about 1 1/2 months before dieing
I bought this machine in July and it died on me in Sept. The instructions are not the best as to how to use the machine. Implementing the locking parts is somewhat difficult, almost to the point where it feels like you are breaking the locking parts. I feel that this product is a total rip off. I've used it 4 times in the last month and 1/2 and sealed 6 bags, (2 of which I've had to reseal, as the first seal did not stay sealed). I do NOT recommend buying this product as there is no way to have it fixed or returned if it fails in the first couple of times it is used.
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.
J. Fielek : A nice vacuum sealer at a good price.
TL;DR — great value, works well with a couple small idiosyncrasies that are just part of the learning curve.
I’d been looking for a vacuum sealer for a while and at this price point it was worth snagging.
The sealer came with a few larger bags and a small roll of 8” bags. The roll requires that you cut it to length, seal one end, put in whatever you’re preserving, and then run the vacuum sealing cycle. It’s simpler than it sounds. It’s extremely simple to operate, but may take a few tries to get a feel for how much bag you’ll need.
Usage is straightforward. If you’re using a roll, you first cut it to fit the item to be stored. Next, place one end of the bag over the sealing bar, close the cover, and press the “seal” button.
After that, you load the bag, and place the open end into the vacuum chamber (it will lay across the sealer as well), close the cover, and press “vacuum and seal”. It’ll suck the air out and then seal the bag after the air has been sucked out.
Two minor issues :
The bag needs to have an extra inch or so to ensure it reaches the vacuum chamber. If it’s too short the vacuum can’t suck the air out of the bag and it’ll never seal. The same holds true if the bag isn’t placed far enough over the edge of the vacuum chamber.
When sealing or vacuum sealing, the cover must be completely closed. Both latches (one on either side) must click closed, or the vacuum can’t do its job, and the sealer won’t have full contact across the bag.
I also purchased a couple rolls of 8” bags from another manufacturer and they work perfectly. You need a textured bag for the vacuum to work; smooth bags won’t let the vacuum suck out the air.
Meghan Dunigan : LOVE!!!!!
LOVE!!! I wanted to buy bulk food, now that I’m eating healthier. But I did not enjoy not having portion sizes freezer burned meat or having to thaw out entire packages just to get one portion out. This just came in and I’ve already done 10lbs of chicken in a mater of 10 mins. The buttons are pretty self explanatory, I didn’t even read the directions. You can see where the sealer is and there’s a spot that the vacuum seal area. You press the seal button if you have to seal one side and then insert the product in the pocket and put the other side into the vacuum seal area, close both sides till you hear the click then press vacuum seal and it with vacuum the area and seal it in like 30 seconds. If you notice it taking longer than that, then it can’t suck out all the air( there’s probably a crease) just press the stop button, adjust the close the lid again and vacuum. SUPER EASY. Not to loud, I was still able to hold a conversation with someone over the phone.
SmithHaus : Perfect compact model
We got this vacuum sealer machine for our RV, made by entrige this automatic food sealer for food w/starter kit, is perfect for all of your types of food, dry and moist food modes, and frankly very easy to use.
It is also very easy to clean with its led indicator lights, compact design, silver (stainless steel) compact design is key as it is in our RV. We actually have a couple these one at the house and the cabin but wanted one for the RV as we like to vacuum seal everything.
Like I said this one is the right size asn super versatility & convenient for your i kitchen or RV like we use it. It is simple when food is protected from air and freezer burn it last for a lot longer and is fresher.
This one is super easy to use and works will all bags that you can even buy at like a Walmart., we found vacuumed sealer bags at the Sams club in rocky point Mexico.
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!
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...

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.
Suzy O : Not the easiest to use and lasted about 1 1/2 months before dieing
I bought this machine in July and it died on me in Sept. The instructions are not the best as to how to use the machine. Implementing the locking parts is somewhat difficult, almost to the point where it feels like you are breaking the locking parts. I feel that this product is a total rip off. I've used it 4 times in the last month and 1/2 and sealed 6 bags, (2 of which I've had to reseal, as the first seal did not stay sealed). I do NOT recommend buying this product as there is no way to have it fixed or returned if it fails in the first couple of times it is used.
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.
izzy : SO DISAPPOINTED - short life span
i am soooooo disappointed. i was LOVING this product for the 3ish months it worked (bought it in april 2020). now, doesnt seal anything “moist” (think raw chicken or anything with juices). i have taken meticulous care of it. i wipe it down after every use; i store it in the box it came in; i wait 40+ seconds between seals as it directs. i really wish i could get my money back.
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.
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!
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.

Kindle Customer : Compact, quieter than most other sealers, works great
This is the first vacuum sealer I have owned and I purchased one at the urging of my sister who is an avid vacuum sealer user. She has one of those big clunky sealers that are LOUD but do the job. It is her 3rd vacuum sealer as she burned out the other two by not letting the unit cool off between sealing her bags. She gave me hints on how to get a good seal etc. and helped me figure out why the unit wasn't sealing well.
We discovered that in order to allow the cover to "click" into place you might have to PUSH DOWN ON ONE CORNER JUST UNTIL IT CLICKS AND THEN PUSH DOWN ON THE OPPOSITE CORNER. When we used both hands at the same time it would not click shut. If you don't click it shut it won't vacuum seal the bags. I suspect some of the reviews that say the sealer did not work were due to this little quirk in the sealer's design.
My sister was impressed with the tight seal and with how quiet it runs compared to hers. I like the different features and the rather wide heat seal at the top. She also mentioned that the seal was wider than the one on her sealer that cost closer to $200. You can choose a normal setting or a gentle setting and also whether the item inside is wet or dry. It does matter that you indicate wet or dry. Believe me. Even if you choose the wet setting be sure to watch carefully as you seal. If the liquid inside starts going towards the top of the bag, press the stop button or you will have liquid spilling into your sealer. Not only that but a wet bag won't seal properly so keep clean paper towels handy in case the sealer is faster than your stop button finger.
I failed to notice the insurance plan I could have purchased at the time and had to contact customer service and pay $8.99 for 4 years of coverage instead of $6.99 for 4 years had I added insurance to my cart at the time of purchase. So if you want to insurance plan, which I recommend, remember to add it on when you make your purchase.
The unit comes with a few pre-made bags, a roll of seal your own bag plastic, and a tube for vacuum sealing jars and containers.
If you are a vacuum sealer newbie I recommend this unit for it's simplicity, low cost, great suction capacity, small size, and lower noise level compared to other sealers. Just remember to add the insurance with your purchase and to push down on the lid one side at a time until the lid clicks into place before pressing the vacuum seal button.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Julie R. : What took me so long ?
After purchasing this vacuum sealer I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. It's fun and easy to use. I went through my entire freezer and found so many things to seal up. No problem with the vacuum or seal. Does a nice job. I feel confident now that my food will last and not get freezer burned before I use it. I made packages of all sizes and shapes and every one is tight and sealed. Thanks for making a good product at a great price. I like that it comes with a roll and precut bags as well as a cleaning cloth. Nice additions!
JLP : Best Vacuum Sealer
This machine performs as advertised. I have been a customer of the FoddSaver brand of vacuum sealer since they first came out. I have had seven of them. My complaint is that last for a year and a half or two years, then they fail to create a vacuum. I use these machines a lot as I buy in bulk, and sometimes package up 100 to 150 pounds of meat. I decided after last FoodSaver failed halfway through 60 pounds of pork, it would be my last one. I ordered this machine and it arrived on time as promised. It has done exactly as it was advertised. I am going to order an additional machine to take with me when I travel as I take advantage of sales, and need to seal and freeze as I buy.
