Q:
Is this basically for frozen food?
Answer: No. It is basically for sous vide. I did use some of my bags to freeze my food though.
Answer: No, I use it for all food I'm storing in the fridge. Cheese, lunch meats, little pieces of onion, green pepper what ever. They keep longer vac sealed. I love this system. It's a very good value.
Answer: No. They can be used for any type of food storage including dehydrated food. Especially good for long term storage.
Q:
How long does this rechargeble vacuum pump work?
Answer: As I know, it works long time, I charge one time, until now, I have used for 5 days, and it still works.so it may work longer, but I think it depends on the times you use every day.
Answer: Mine only lasted about 6 weeks (through one charge). the next time I charged, it no longer worked. It seems like that is the story from other buyers on here. I liked the product too and now am stuck with all of these bags.
Q:
How long I can keeep food In the freezer with these sealer bag?
Answer: I have had mine for more than 5 months

Answer: It comes with everything you need... it charges the same as a cell phone..i believe it's in the description!
Answer: I don’t know.but the handheld pump only worked for a week or so
Q:
It says “especially good for women for kitchen”, does this mean my male husband is unable to operate it?
Answer: Of course not. It’s very easy for anyone to operate. I just think anything for a kitchen is often associated with women. Men cook too, and operate any kitchen appliance or instrument in their kitchens. One of my sons has been doing Sous

Answer: No all the Opposite is a very easy to used every one can used it
Answer: That’s right
Q:
the video showed them clipping a bag into water. didn't make sense. what are the clips really for?
Answer: That's what the clips are for. Sous Vide cooking is cooking food placed in a plastic bag suspended in water. The clips hold the bags in place on the edge of the container.
Answer: There are to clip the sides of the bag to some container so water doesn’t get inside the bag when you warming something. I haven’t used that ‘feature’ yet.
Answer: The clips are used when your cooking with a sous vide; they prevent the bag from floating around in the water bath. You don't need the clips if you don't plan on using the bags for sous viding.
Answer: They actually clip the bag to the side of the transparent container.
Answer: Clipping the bag to the side of the pot of boiling water????
Answer: I am not sure abt this, but I am not so happy with the product coz it did not suck the air out, very weak. I tried many packets but don’t seen to work. Sorry, I am telling the true.

Q:
I just got mine. not working. plugged it in and no red light…. why ?..help!
Answer: I don’t know as I never could use that little pump so I just cut the top part off the bags and used in my food saver machine even though the pump was working after I plugged it in and let it charge up but was just too slow and too much work. The bags however are excellent and a good price.
Answer: Hi, sorry but can only say that when I received the pump and pushed the on button it worked, was already charged. It has been used a number of times with no problem. Just plugged the charge lead into a powerbank and I have a red light when charging. Very happy with the purchase.
Answer: Hi. Sorry your vacuum isn’t working. I don’t know why. Maybe try another outlet or make sure the connection to the unit is completely pushed in. My unit showed a red light and I kept it plugged in until it turned green. Hope you get it to work.
Answer: Should charge easily in 30-45 minutes
Q:
can't find the gh appliance lab , kitchen time saver, small but mighty vacuum sealer
Answer: Don’t buy it. I received it and the pump doesn’t work. I purchased additional bags at the same time. Now I have all of these bags and can’t use them. I was planning on using them to freeze meat. If the company can send me a replacement pump, that would be great
Answer: I received on sept.18th, it already broke. Poor quality
Q:
Can you use the battery operated FoodSaver V1100 portable pump with these?
Answer: I would think so, there are other devices out other that look the same. If the hole on the bag is not bigger than the opening on the other device, you should be ok.
Q:
Why do i need to replacement air values?
Answer: If the bag doesn't evaluate air properly, we need to replace the air valve to make work
Q:
how easy to clean and dry bags?
Answer: I don't. I thought I would but all bags types are usually full of oily marinade or meat juices, and are just kind of gross after using them to cook for 10+ hrs. I suppose you could wash and hang them to dry, and I might try with a less messy dish, as these are substantial bags. These are great bags and the vacuum works perfectly. I will repurchase.
Q:
where can I buy more bags
Answer: I'm hoping that Amazon sales them without buying another machine.
how long do you have to charge the pump before using it?
Answer: I changed it for a couple of hours, but I think it has alight on it that turns green when it’s fully charged
Q:
My New bags are not staying sealed
Answer: It helps to use the little white clips to help slide the seals closed. And if that fails, return them. It's always possible you got a bad batch of bags.
Answer: 1. Make sure the bag is not over full. 2. use the provided sealer and run it over the seal a couple of times.
Answer: If there is a lot of liquid forming that could be the problem but there shouldn’t be a problem with the ceiling of those bags are they are very hard to even open
Answer: These bags are "One Works and the next DOESN'T". THE ZIP IS HARD TO LOCK (AIR-TIGHT). when they do they are still not reliable.
Q:
Where to buy replacements air valves?
Answer: This package comes with them. If you need more, try contacting the company.
Q:
Where can i purchase more replacement air valves?
Answer: someone menions in the questions section where to get them on Amazon.
Q:
Preparing for the zombie apocalyse, aka, Covid and things in the frig/freezer are out of control. Are the sealer bags on Amazon?
Answer: Yes, you can buy them seperatly
Q:
What is the negative psi for this device - looking for at least 15-20 psi?
Answer: Have no idea, just know they work great..
Q:
Where can I find more of the Large bags (12x13)?
Answer: Bags are ok but vacuum don’t work you need to close them manually
Q:
Were is the usb cord?
Answer: It comes with a small usb and the plug in on the unit is on the side near the top next to the indicator light
Answer: Hole for cord is by the white button...on the side, near the top.
Answer: you should ask the provider. It should be included in the shipment. Also, my vacuum only worked for four months. It literally doesn't suck.
Q:
Do any of the bags have pleats at the bottom So they can expand a little to fit larger items?
Answer: No. They do not have pleats at the bottom. But neither do FoodSaver bags, of course. (Good idea though..!!) If you don't need the vacuum capability and only looking to use with sous vide cooking, you can use regular, large Ziplock bags which do have pleats. Don't seal the zip all the way until submerging into the water which will force most all the air out, then zip the top closed. Works fine for Sous Vide cooking.
Answer: They don’t.
Q:
Where is this made?
Answer: It's made in China.
Q:
After pumping, how does the bag seal?
Answer: After pumping bag seals well.
Answer: It takes the air out. Make sure your seal is tight on top.
Answer: After you close the top & use the vacuum to seal the bad it should stay sealed (no air inside) if yours keeps unsealing try changing out the small circle where the vacuum attaches. Sometimes they are just bad.
Q:
The instructions included in the package do not mention coming in the bags. Are they truly safe for using with my sous vide?
Answer: I am not sure how safe the bag is. I wouldn’t use it for Sous vide myself.
Q:
Can I use these vacuum bags to keep foods for panic and trip?
Answer: Yes, you can use the vaccum bags to keep food, and vacuum air, food keep fresh.
Q:
Can this be used as a chamber to seal ziploc bags? (put ziploc bag in resealable bag)
Answer: The bags came with machine has hole ! It suck from the hole if u use ziploc bag I think the result is worse coz I really think that suction is not strong! I have problem using it!
Answer: I can’t see why not. There is a limit of how much you can fill the bag so the vacuuming continues to work.
Answer: Hello there I have not done this but i think it could work bags are big enough.
Answer: Yes. In fact it is easier to hold powder spice or milk powder by putting them in Ziploc first before vacuuming.
Answer: I really don't understand what your asking but honestly i returned the product. Wasn't impressed. Seems cheap.
Q:
Is there a warranty on the pump?
Answer: No, it's just a small cheap pump with a USB charger
Answer: Probably not, but honestly its cheap. I don't expect a warranty for a product this low in price. Spend a little more on a higher quality product and get a warranty.
Answer: Not sure. No problems so far.
Q:
Can I use regular ziplock bags with this

Q:
I just got this and it's been charging for 6 hours! The red light is still on and I'm going to bed now. How long does it take to charge?
Answer: I only charged it for about 15 minutes and it worked again for the last bag I was closing. But I couldn’t get it to charge again after that & had to return it. Got a quick refund though!
Answer: Interesting. Mine was already charged when I got it and I have used it several times over the past couple of months. I just checked it and it is still working. Could it be defective?
Answer: The one that we purchased was charging for about 15 minutes. Just to verify, did you remove the battery plastic pull? Other than that, it should charge much, much quicker. We love ours! Good luck!
Answer: It shouldn’t be that long, I usually charged it for 15 minutes and it will turn green, something’s not right.
Answer: not that long. Make sure it is plugged in good at each end. Then return it if it still doesn't charge.

Answer: It. Took me 8 hr
Q:
what percentage of bags hold tight? how do replacement seals for bags work or did You get them? TY
Answer: I have arthritis really bad and it's hard for me to seal the bags even with the little white thing that comes with it. But I'm stubborn and keep at it till I get it sealed. I haven't had any yet that don't stay sealed. I haven't had to use the replacement seals yet because I just got this a month or so ago. Sorry this is not much help to you.
Answer: Well you have to press an press and double check the slide seal kinda like freezer bags. Their tough to turn inside out to wash them but they're perfect. The vacuum is weak and takes some effort to get it to suck the air out. Bags are reusable but they're cheap enough to just restock
Answer: Only had one that didn’t seal after several washings. Haven’t replaced seals yet, still very happy with the purchase. I recommend purchasing extra bags to have on hand.
Answer: So far I’ve only used 3 bags, but they have all preformed successfully, and I have not needed to replace the seals. So far it’s been well worth the money.
Answer: Every bag I’ve used has held tight. I’ve never had any of them leak or open. I don’t understand your second question.
Answer: I haven’t used the replacement seals that were included so I can’t comment on that, but all the bags in the set held perfectly for me. I bought some more bags from a different manufacturer and they were all junk.
Answer: So far 70% and replacement seals don’t work
Answer: All of them so far have held tight. Yes i got them, Have not used the replacement seals yet.
Q:
Can this be used for packaged frozen chicken (Tyson)? Will it work for pita bread & tortillas? How do you open sealed bags later? thanks
Answer: I've used these to store chicken breasts in the freezer without any problem. I have stored pita bread in the freezer but not using one of these bags, though I don't see why not. As far as opening them afterwards, just pull the zipper seal apart, like you would with any regular zipper seal plastic bag.
Answer: My problem was not with bags there well made and
Answer: The bags are zip lock and can be opened just like and freezer or sandwich bag and be filled with fresh or frozen foods
Answer: You can package anything in these bags except for liquid. you don't want the unit that takes the air out of the bags to suck up any moisture. also you can unzip the bags to remove what you had in them and can also wash them and reuse them. I just love these bags and highly recommend them

Q:
Why are there replacement air valves? Do these need to be replaced? I have a different set and I have had no problems with the air valves.

How many times can you reuse the bags?
Answer: I only got mine recently, so not sure, but I’ve reused some bags 4 & 5 times already...
Q:
Is anyone else having difficulty getting a seal on the bags to suck out the air?
Answer: The little pump I got did not have an oring seal in the end that you sit on the bag. If that seal is missing pump won't seal on bag. I am still looking for one.
Answer: Sometimes when I need to charge the vacuum it doesn't have enough suction, or I initially leave to much air in before I start. Make sure your bag is sealed use the little white sealer not just your fingers.
Answer: You have to make sure you are either pressing the bag firmly to the counter or firmly with you hand on the backside. If neither way works then change the seal
Answer: You have to work it. Try pushing all the air out with your hands. Then place the gadget over the hole. I had issues at the beginning then all of sudden it was working like it should. I know this is not a lot of information, but maybe you should contact the seller. Best wishes.
Answer: It has to cover the seal area perfectly and sometimes it just takes a little time to seal the bags, overall works pretty well
Answer: Make sure to use the slide clip tool thing that came with the bags. Press and slide back and forth 3 or 4 times making sure to go end to end.
Q:
Where can I buy compatible bags or air valve seals without buying this whole set again?
Answer: I just ordered me a pump set and did check before buying. You can buy bags here on Amazon. I didn't check for the valves though. I myself will just buy more bags. I won't bother with valves.
Answer: I’m not sure
Q:

Answer: You can buy more bags here on Amazon.
Answer: Not that I seen. One of the reasons I returned mine.
Q:
Mine came without charger can i use another charger?
Answer: Didn't you get instruction sheet? Mine came with a USB cord which I plugged into my plug and plugged into wall socket. It charged for about 12 hours before light went out. Yes use your own charger with the USB cord that it came with.
Answer: I just tested another cord we had and it worked fine.
Q:
How thick are the bags? Are they durable for long term/reusable use?
Answer: YES! They are as thick as the normal sealer bags. I've used a few of my large ones a handful of times now with no problem.
Answer: They are thick like the vacuum seal bags.
Answer: Yes, they are. I have washed and reused mine several times and they are still in great shape.
Answer: Yes and you could reuse them.

Product reviews of Sous Vide Bags, 42 PCS Electric Vacuum Sealer Food Vacuum Sealer & Reusable Vacuum Food Storage Bags for Anova, Joule Cookers -30 PCS Reusable Vacuum Sealer Bags,5 Clips & 5 Sealing Clips,Rechargeable Vacuum Sealer Set
Enna : It doesn’t last
I bought this product December 2020 and used it probably less than 20 times. The food didn’t stay fresh when frozen for longer than 3 months. Also, the part where the charger is inserted broke off so I can’t charge the device and now I just have the bag. The quality is low but I’m assuming it comes with paying a low price. It was ok while it lasted. It wasn’t always easy to suction the air out of the bags.
Christine : Vacuum sealer breaks easily
This works pretty well if the vacuum sealer actually held up - it takes a bit to get used to how to position the sealer and the bag to get it to seal properly, but this worked great for sous vide until the usb port for the sealer where you connect the charging cord broke off. Pretty cheaply made and I read other reviews where it had the same problem so I decided not to issue a replacement and am buying a different brand to try. I really wanted to use this for the re-usable bags as I have another larger food sealer but know that it's not very environmentally friendly with the use of the plastic sheets.
Kindle Customer : Works ok
Works ok, but does let air in after about a week for non-flat items. For example, my avocado lasted so much longer in the fridge with this but after about 6 days, there was air in the bag. Didn't matter too horribly since you should use your avocado w/in that amount of time, but does make a little worried for freezer items.
M L : Just buy the real sealer
I wish I had just bought the Anova sealer. These bags are very difficult to open. The valves leak. If you try to vacuum seal anything with juice, the juice ends up in the vacuum. Raw meat juice? Gross.
If you use any oil in the bag, just throw it away when you’re done. It’s not coming clean. Same with paprika or other red spices.
I will continue to use these until they are gone, but I don’t recommend them at all.
Terry Burroughs : When it works it works great.
This runs out of suction power very quickly. If I have more than 2 bags to seal have to recharge between. Use the bag sealer to close bags completely. If not the suction will not remove all air. Do not use on bread, even if freezing. Do not use with liquid in bag. Works very well with fresh fruits and vegies.
Neat freak : How? Why? What? How do you use it? Why won't it work? What do you do with the seal clips?
Nothing happens. It's fully charged and sounds like it's working but isn't sucking any air out. Totally bummed as I looked for awhile for simple vacuum bags since I cannot find the Ziploc vacuum bags. I even tried using the Ziploc pump but nothing happened. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Kyle Crotta : Bags work great until electric pump doesn't
I ordered these bags two weeks ago and already the electric vacuum pump has completely stopped working. In the time I've had these bags I've used them 4 times for sous vide cooking. The first 3 times the bags worked great, the pump sucked out all the air and everything I cooked came out great. A little tricky to get the pump to begin vacuum sealing, but after adjusting its position a few times it would always end up working.
But yesterday the electric pump decided to die rendering the bags no more useful than normal ziplock bags that I paid more for. Tried charging it all night and it's still useless and doesn't function anymore. Not sure what could have caused it to give out so quick, I have only been cooking with dry rubs/seasoning. I'd recommend if your going to get a bag set like this rather than an actual vacuum sealer to stick with a product that uses a hand pump over an electric one. As soon as the pump dies your just left with a bunch of ziplock bags.
Amazon Customer : Needs instructions included.
No problems very good product. So far have not had any problems. Did not come with instructions. Very difficult to finslly figure out how to use properly (trial amd error had to be used).

Thatdude : It works
I would have given it a 5 stars but, it is hard to find the right spot when you put the vacuum over the valve it takes a few tries and hovering over it till starts sucking up all the air. I mostly use it for chesses and it has saved me pounds of them, I use it on imitation crab meat it kept it fresh, HAM! I buy it fresh slice and with in a couple of days starts to spoil NOT any more this vacuum really keeps them fresh longer and I use it to freeze thigs too.
Teresa Thompson : Perfect food & money saver
I'm very pleased with these bags (after only a few weeks) and the vacuum thus far. I believe it's going to save me a lot of money for helping food last longer, and staying fresh. The vacuum is easy to use but I have to make sure the bag is sealed securely and sometimes the vacuum may need adjusted over the valve. I hope they last, and come in a smaller size (like a pint). The quart size are great but I like to freeze cut up vegetables and smaller would be better. I couldn't pass up the special offer which included 10 each of small, medium, and large bags. I'm happy I didn't. Thanks for the great deal, Amazon!
Aiza Abelon : Pump stopped working after 4 uses,
Pump wasn't working when I tried to seal a bag. Went to charge it and the charging light turned on. After a couple hours, I try using it again. Nothing. Overall I like this product and think it's effective but I wish there was a way to diagnose what's going on with the pump.
Candace Bice : Good while it lasted, get the extended warranty!!!
I purchased this item on January 6th, 2021. I have used this with multiple items I wanted to freeze, vegetables, meat, etc., items in the fridge like cheeses & veggies & it worked well. I did try to marinate a steak & seal it, there was a small amount of liquid that kept getting sucked into the unit & it wouldn't work, so that was a no go, but I wanted to try. Other than that, it was working fine. Skip forward to today, February 13th, 2021, I charged the unit this morning & while unplugging it, the whole charging port came out of the unit with the cable. I am out of my return window as of February 8th & can not return it. The suction unit obviously doesn't work now & I can't find any information as to how to return it to the manufacturer for replacement. If you purchase this item, I highly recommend getting the protection plan. I have already ordered smaller bags & can't return those after all of this, so another purchase will have to be made, with a protection plan. I will update this review if further issues occur after the next purchase, with the warranty.
Amazon Customer : It's good
I'm changing my review again because I found the correct cord and it has a longer male end which actually does allow the unit to be recharged. It was my error. I apologize for my previous complaint.
Ive changed my opinion. I cant recharge it because the insides has shifted just enough so the charger cant be inserted far enough to recharge. I will hope to receive a replacement. Until then i cannot recommend this product as i see from other posts it is a common problem with this unit.
I have a little problem sealing the bags before removing the air but that is because I have very bad arthritis. I found that the wooden handle on my spatulas does a fine job of helping. I'm mostly using the bags for seasonal things like fresh strawberries (that I freeze on cookie sheets first), nuts, whole grains, anything that can become rancid quickly, and leftovers. The suction is not as strong as my bigger machine but it is more than adequate for the small daily jobs. And it is easier to store in the kitchen so my big machine can stay in the pantry until I have bigger jobs to do.
JOHN : NOT WELL MADE
The product has a problem with the charging port. The 1st one I ordered I was only able to charge once. The second time the port would no longer accept the input. I returned it and was very pleased with the quick replacement. I used the product for2 or 3 months and liked the way it worked. Very happy. Then on the 5th or 6th charge, the port would not accept the input again. Understand that I was specifically gentle and careful trying to insert it. It disappeared inside the unit body. Gone. I tried to reach the company thru Amazon and was told 90 day guarantee was expired. No further communications with the company or Amazon was acknowledged Very disappointing. So While I liked the performance of the product, I am not prepared to buy one every 3 months. Shame on both companies. John A

Hunting Gear Products : works great but...
While I really like having a vacuum sealer that is portable and does a great job. What it did to disclose is the difficulty of cleaning the bags once you have stored meat in them. I use dish soap, ran them in the dishwasher and also ran them through the washing machine to get the smell and residue of the meat product out. I even tried bleach to get the smell out after using the bags and of course, running them in the sous vide. It's a great concept, going forward I will be using a vacuum sealer machine which will cost less out of pocket than these bags, and no clean up needed.
Grace Lee : Hard to use. Not worth the money.
I had high expectation for the product. I made sous vide quite often and like the idea of inexpensive vacuum bags. However, I found the vacuum pump hard to use. I had to move around the pump until it hit the exact sweet spot for the vacuuming to start. Sometimes it takes me several minutes to my great frustration. I am much better off just using the water method for zip lock bags. Washing the sous vide bags after each use is also a pain in the a**. I cleaned them by hand and then put them in dishwasher, and I still can't get rid of the remnants at the corner of the bags. Not worth the money and effort! Stick with the old fashioned zip lock bags or invest in a real food vacuum sealer.
Christine : Vacuum sealer breaks easily
This works pretty well if the vacuum sealer actually held up - it takes a bit to get used to how to position the sealer and the bag to get it to seal properly, but this worked great for sous vide until the usb port for the sealer where you connect the charging cord broke off. Pretty cheaply made and I read other reviews where it had the same problem so I decided not to issue a replacement and am buying a different brand to try. I really wanted to use this for the re-usable bags as I have another larger food sealer but know that it's not very environmentally friendly with the use of the plastic sheets.
Sharron : No more waste!
I love this! At last no more wasting groceries that go badly because of not being able to seal them and hold their freshness. I love the fact that I can wash the bags and reuse them, such a money saver in so many ways!
Thatdude : It works
I would have given it a 5 stars but, it is hard to find the right spot when you put the vacuum over the valve it takes a few tries and hovering over it till starts sucking up all the air. I mostly use it for chesses and it has saved me pounds of them, I use it on imitation crab meat it kept it fresh, HAM! I buy it fresh slice and with in a couple of days starts to spoil NOT any more this vacuum really keeps them fresh longer and I use it to freeze thigs too.
Nitamcb : Small but mighty!
I don’t know how long it will last but so far, it’s the best thing I’ve bought in a good while. The bags alone are worth the cost, but the little unit charges fast, and you won’t believe the suction! It gets all the air out. Only had it a few days so I’ll see how long they stay sealed and check back in. Buy!
Kindle Customer : CAUTION: Bad vacuum sealer!
I was hoping to contact the seller directly before leaving a negative review, but that wasn't an option. So here we go: I sous vide and freeze stuff ALL THE TIME! It's been a game changer in the way I run my personal kitchen. I feel in love with the technique of sous vide in a white linen upscale restaurant I apprenticed for years ago. As a private, personal chef, it makes cooking for a large crowd very easy to make things a precise temperature. My ONLY major complaint about this product is that my rechargeable vacuum sealer failed after a couple months. That's pretty crucial to this system. You can try to get as much air out as possible by hand, but there's no way to get it air tight without the vacuum. The light goes from red to green as though it has fully charged, but when I go to use it, it doesn't work at all. For that reason, and that reason alone, I can't give this a high rating. If the seller replaces the unit, I will let you know and revise my review/ rating.
Gavin : Can't hold a vacuum
These bags can't even hold a vacuum for a few minutes. I would vacuum them and within a few minutes they were already starting to lose their vacuum and was completely gone in less than an hour. I thought it may have been the bag but it failed on all 25 bags I tried.

Mohamed Haroun : Fresh food will las longer now :)
As a bachelor who lives alone and feel lazy to go to supermarket every week for fresh vegetables, i had to buy this to save the vegetablesfruits and meat fresh for longer time and that product did the trick, It has multiple bag sizes to fit almost anything Also the pump was very good i did use it and sucked the air from the first time didn’t dropped a sweat like some people complain.
I like it and i hope the battery will last long
Eva : Easy to use
It is easy to use. I use it for everything I put in the freezer, even the leaves like curry. Each time I use a few leaves, I vacuum again quickly and easily.
David P. : Updated one year after purchase. Rating downgraded from 4 to 3 stars.
This is a review for the KOSBON 47 PCS Electric Vacuum Sealer & Reusable Vacuum Food Storage Bags, purchased August 2020.
Updated one year after purchase. Rating downgraded from 4 to 3 stars. I was using the vacuum pump with the charging cable attached and I inadvertently applied a little pressure to the cable where it connects to the pump. This slight pressure was sufficient to break the cable housing inside the pump, rendering the unit useless. Granted, this damage could have been avoided if I had removed the cable before use. Nevertheless, I believe that the pump should be more robust.
I have had the product for only a few days so I cannot offer any long-term view. The product arrived complete, on time and as advertised. I charged the pump using the provided cable connected to a computer USB port. I tested the system using a small bag and the last inch of a home-baked loaf of bread. The pump worked as expected, it was easy to position the pump over the air-valve for the few seconds required to remove the air. The attached photos show the result two days after sealing. The pump was able to create sufficient vacuum to almost flatten the bread; and the air-valve held the seal well for the two days; so I am satisfied that the product is working as expected. There are many bags and spare air-valves in the set so I expect to get good use in the coming years for storage of different foods. A few minor points which detract from my complete satisfaction. 1. The set does not include a power adapter...... Be aware that, for charging, you will need to connect to an existing USB port (such as on your computer or mobile phone charger). 2. The charging port is deeply recessed in the body of the pump. So a standard USB cable will not fit ... do not lose the charging cable supplied with the set. 3. The instruction sheet has many horrendous typos. This does not affect the product functionality; but it does lead me to question the quality control used by the supplier.
Louise Davis : Good value and easy to use
My product arrived yesterday and I sealed 2 bags with salmon and 1 with pound cake to freeze. Very easy. Good suction and bag seems sturdy. Would have been even better with basic instructions, as I had to guess what the clear, plastic piece was for but figured it out. So much simpler than the large, sealer machines!
Amazon Customer : The Smartest Purchase I Made Ever!
Took a few minutes to figure it out but this item works perfectly. The key is to make sure the bag is tightly closed. The suction is perfect and I can say with certainty after almost a week a head of lettuce is as fresh today as the day I purchased. This will return the cost in a month and will save me a ton of money over the year. When the unit dies I'll buy it again and highly recommend to anyone. By the way the bags work great and keep their seal.
djcovey : A must have for perishable foods!
At last, a fast, easy, and effective way to preserve perishable foods. We primarily use them for lunch meats, hot dogs, and cheese. Items that we open and close frequently. It keeps them fresh and last much longer than regular zipper type storage plastic bags. We also use them when we buy bulk meats and separate them into meal size portions before putting them in the freezer.
Linda : Pump failed after 2 months
Worked great for only 2 months, then was toast. Great concept. Pump did not last long.
Aiza Abelon : Pump stopped working after 4 uses,
Pump wasn't working when I tried to seal a bag. Went to charge it and the charging light turned on. After a couple hours, I try using it again. Nothing. Overall I like this product and think it's effective but I wish there was a way to diagnose what's going on with the pump.
The Lake Lady : Eco friendly
First one didn't work but they sent new one very fast. This one works great. Cheaper than zip lock bags and great that are reusable.
Update 4-1-21- I was using it for chicken & the first bag started to suck up liquid. I thought I had dried the chicken but not good enough. I froze the chicken on a jelly roll pan lined with saran. The next day the bags sealed with no problem.
Aminalee : Doesn’t work
It did not work. Plus there were no instructions. I spent $25 for nothing more useful than a ziplock bag
JB : Almost perfect.
It works very well removing air. 10/10. Rechargeable 10/10. Strong vacuum. 10/10. I had some difficulty NOT drawing liquid into the device: mehhh 7/10 (If the pliable vac/draw port was a couple inches away from the motor, this would be a non-issue. This makes it a 7, instead of 10. JB
Amazon Customer : It's good
I'm changing my review again because I found the correct cord and it has a longer male end which actually does allow the unit to be recharged. It was my error. I apologize for my previous complaint.
Ive changed my opinion. I cant recharge it because the insides has shifted just enough so the charger cant be inserted far enough to recharge. I will hope to receive a replacement. Until then i cannot recommend this product as i see from other posts it is a common problem with this unit.
I have a little problem sealing the bags before removing the air but that is because I have very bad arthritis. I found that the wooden handle on my spatulas does a fine job of helping. I'm mostly using the bags for seasonal things like fresh strawberries (that I freeze on cookie sheets first), nuts, whole grains, anything that can become rancid quickly, and leftovers. The suction is not as strong as my bigger machine but it is more than adequate for the small daily jobs. And it is easier to store in the kitchen so my big machine can stay in the pantry until I have bigger jobs to do.

jackie mattera : Not exactly reusable
Can’t exactly reuse these as stated. The bags get gross after using. Suction device sucks up juice from the bags from fish or beef and the clear piece doesn’t come off to clean inside of it. Not thrilled
Meghan : Great impulse-buy, so far going well!
Only been using it for the last week or so but WOW has this been a great impulse buy! Love getting a ton of veg from the farmer's market & being able to prep and freeze most of it. Will update if anything changes, but so far I'm really impressed for what really was an impulse buy when I got fed up scraping freezer burn off of everything in my freezer lol.
Paddyrollingstone : Leaky bags even when properly sealed
This was a massive let down. First the directions were a little hard to navigate and badly translated, but the product is pretty easy to figure out. Bought this to sous vide with. First sous vide attempt of my life was ruined by this product when one of the quart bags took on water making the steak less It was fully sealed and when I tilted the bag after pulling it out of the water there was a drip coming from the sealed corner! I double and triple checked it and used the clip to get a better seal. Still leaking. Worthless. Don't waste your money.
M R S MR : Vacuum low quality
Had this product for about a year and two parts of the vacuum broke. This item was never dropped and never been through stress. One day it stopped vacuuming then the usb connector just broke off and is now stuck inside. There's no way to open it cleanly. My bags when using this would stay fresh slightly longer than usual, but they would get air again no matter how tightly I seal it.
Ricky D : Great product
Easy setup, nice seal, works great, cleans easy. Used for the first time yesterday. I like these and best of all reusable. Recommended for Sous Vide, and everyday storage and freezing. This is a very good set and comes in different sizes bags, from 1-gal. and 1 qt. What I really like is the vacuum seal pump, works great and is very easy to use.
D. Jacoby : Vacuum dead on arrival - not worth the price.
Bags seem durable and would have probably been great for what I needed but the vacuum did not work. I plugged it in thinking it needed to be charged first, but the red indicator light never came on. Tried a different cable in the same outlet that I know was charging another device and nothing. Left it plugged in thinking MAYBE it needed time before there was enough charge to light up but after being plugged in overnight (8+h) still nothing.
Candace Bice : Good while it lasted, get the extended warranty!!!
I purchased this item on January 6th, 2021. I have used this with multiple items I wanted to freeze, vegetables, meat, etc., items in the fridge like cheeses & veggies & it worked well. I did try to marinate a steak & seal it, there was a small amount of liquid that kept getting sucked into the unit & it wouldn't work, so that was a no go, but I wanted to try. Other than that, it was working fine. Skip forward to today, February 13th, 2021, I charged the unit this morning & while unplugging it, the whole charging port came out of the unit with the cable. I am out of my return window as of February 8th & can not return it. The suction unit obviously doesn't work now & I can't find any information as to how to return it to the manufacturer for replacement. If you purchase this item, I highly recommend getting the protection plan. I have already ordered smaller bags & can't return those after all of this, so another purchase will have to be made, with a protection plan. I will update this review if further issues occur after the next purchase, with the warranty.
Faith : Charger
Love the bags that come with it, but there is a defect in the charging cord. The charger is ill fitted for the device. After plugging in the charger a few times the charger grabs hold of the inside of the device. When this happens the charger is no longer useful. I did return the device. I received a new one. I am not sure if it will last because the fit for the charger plug is not right. I am debating if I will send the second one back.
M L : Just buy the real sealer
I wish I had just bought the Anova sealer. These bags are very difficult to open. The valves leak. If you try to vacuum seal anything with juice, the juice ends up in the vacuum. Raw meat juice? Gross.
If you use any oil in the bag, just throw it away when you’re done. It’s not coming clean. Same with paprika or other red spices.
I will continue to use these until they are gone, but I don’t recommend them at all.
Anne P. : Vacuum Pump arrived unusable
I purchased these bags/vacuum for a Sous Vide unit I had recently purchased. I didn't use until 3 months after receiving. The bags seem of high quality; however, I could not get the vacuum pump to work. It arrived in 3 pieces so assumed I had to assemble. There was no way that the silicone part would fit on the unit. At closer look, it appears that the area with the red arrow is broken. I searched YouTube and Googled instructions and all videos showed it as one complete unit. Since I'm past the return period, I'm stuck with the bags but cannot use the vacuum. I purchased another vacuum unit locally but it does not work on the bags. If you purchase this unit, be aware if it arrives in 3 separate pieces (a plastic adapter was also included but there is no picture to share - it fits inside the silicone part. I only gave 2 stars because the bags are nice but the vacuum is unusable.
Brian Ellerby : Impossible to charge
The suction unit is impossible to charge as the outside blue case is too thick and the usb charging port is too far inside for a cable to stay connected to it. The suction unit was the only reason I bought this item and it is useless once it needs charging.
melvina burgener : I think the fact that you can take some out of the bag and resell it.
I save my veggies for salads in the bags last longer. I’m the only one eating them , I save my block cheese in them too no mold. ????
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
