Questions about 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
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
Q:
Does the vacuum pump need batteries?

Q:
what kind of battery, nickel cadmium?
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: As a Male, most of my pants had zippers. Thusly, I was able to work the bags. However, I did have to ask my Wife how to push the button on the Vacuum.
Answer: Works for me (male husband) Also works for my female wife. Kids can use it as well. (Boys and girls)
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.
Answer: They are just used to hold it to the pot so the bad isn’t against the Sous Vide cooker

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:

Answer: Yes, you can buy them seperatly
Q:
What is the negative psi for this device - looking for at least 15-20 psi?

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.

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: Must be a problem, mine charges in about 30 minutes
Answer: Mine charged in 30 minutes. Sounds like it’s not accepting the charge or your cord is not working.

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: 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.

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
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?
Glorysaber : Bad value as its not really reusable
Trying to get the smell out of a bag of even frozen greens is impossible, yet alone the work it takes after meat was stored in the bag or you use it for sous vide... Each bag is one use.
Aminalee : Doesn’t work
It did not work. Plus there were no instructions. I spent $25 for nothing more useful than a ziplock bag
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.
Surfsup : Works well
I have used several types of vacuum sealer food bags over the years. The first one (a very l-o-n-g time ago) worked great but it was eventually discontinued along with the bags. Then I tried a counter top version which also worked well but there was an excessive amount of plastic waste. Then I tried a manual version that I liked and was available at the grocery store for several years but the bags - which could be reused - were discontinued and the plastic sealing device eventually pooped out and couldn't be replaced. So far, this one looks like a winner. The bags are substantial and can be reused and the sealing device is easy to use and does a good job. I think I'll be happy with it - the owner's manual is full of typos but not a problem because it's easy to figure out and there's a video online.
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.
Amazon Customer : These a fantastic, they work better than my food saver.
I bought these mainly to use for storing my produce in, hoping it would keep them fresh longer. I tend to toss out a good amount of my fruits and veggies because I don't use them fast enough or I just bought too much. These bags have far exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how easy they are to use, and love that the pump is small and rechargeable!! This little handheld pump sucks the air right out of the bag, if it isn't working it's usually because the zip close isn't sealed tight, easy fix. This works better than my food saver system, and that is enough reason to use them for freezer storage. I love to sous vide and these bags are perfect for that!! I bought a second set for my brother, who's a truck driver, and prefers to eat healthy and prepare simple meals on the truck. He has a small refrigerator/freezer, microwave and outlets for instant pot, microwave etc. These might work out nicely for simple meal prepping. Highly recommend this product.
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.

Deborah Dixon : A greener option to disposable sous vide bags.
I'm new to Sous Vide, and had concerns about using the disposable plastic bags or vacuum packs, so I was pleased to find these. I like having several sizes and am happy they are reusable (greener!). They seal very easily. Having them reusable/sealable is especially good for a newby like me. I forgot to place the herbs in something I was making the other day. Rather than opening and trashing a disposable bag, I just opened this up, added the herbs, resealed and started cooking. When I'm finished, I fill them with hot soapy water and let them sit for awhile which makes them easy to clean.
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.
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!
Debra Brook : Good results
I have ordered 2 sets of these. The first came with no directions and the loose parts were just tossed in the box. It wasnt rocket science to figure it out. The second one came this week. It was nicely packaged with the bags in a protective plastic bag and the parts were neatly corralled in a nice little bag, along with the instructions this time. I think the first one must have either been a return/damaged unit, as the charger didnt quite fit right and the suction cup was loose fitting. It still did a great job of vacuum sealing all the bags except one. The second unit charges fine and the suction cup fits snuggly. All in all, I will order this again. For me, it is fine to get the full set each time. I like the convenience of having one in the kitchen and one in the rv
MTB : Needs more sucking power.
I gave a 5 star to bags,they are great. Buut,the vacumn pump is a little weak. Also you have to play around with(too much IMO),to get it to suck,(that sucks),once you find the sweet spot, it does a good job sealing. I don't really see much advantage of the portability over the regular seal a meal. But the bags are great. ! MATT
REA : Not as advertised pump failure
Have owned it for several months. The little pump does not create that good of a vacuum. Mine certainly does not suck out the the way it shows in the video. So if I had to buy it again ? No ! Not good enough. The bags are pretty good Here is a follow up. The pump has failed. The Connection on the pump that allows it to be charged has broken off. No way to replace the pump, since it can not be sold separately. Buyer beware.
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.
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).
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.
Eduardo A. Cabezas : The pump don’t do the job
Bags are ok. But the pump is total frustration. First 3 attempts over a flat are Nothing ; no suction at all. I recharged the pump. But no changes. So I try different positions. The only one that do something x me is placing two fingers behind the valve and after replacing them in different directions I’m able to get the pump to partially it’s work. Somebody from this item send their concerns so Iam giving my report. I decided from my end to buy a manual pump that comes with more bags...... so let’s see if I improved the suction. Bye the way I did first coking with my new Anova......I LOVE IT. I finished it in my bbq plancha. IT WAS PERFECT. THINKING IT IS GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY DIET
Richard Henderson : Nice System
This is a really good, complete system for the price. Much better than expected. Nice selection of bag sizes and the pump is actually stronger than expected. I just sealed some bella mushrooms and I think it will really extend the lifetime. Give this system a try.
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.

meg,astrid : doesn't work or last
The part where you put the plug in adaptor into the device broke within minutes of use---charged, removed charger, and the piece where it attaches disappeared somewhere into the device. The device failed to remove any air besides. Would ask for a replacement, but, it didn't work before the piece broke off, so what's the point?
AM Twitchell : Works fine
Picked these up as I start the adventure of cooking sous vide. Liked the idea of re-using the bags instead of creating more waste. However, I don't find these easy to clean at all. I find myself jusy treating it as trash to be far easier. Maybe I am just impatient. Otherwise, works great.
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.
Amazon Customer : These a fantastic, they work better than my food saver.
I bought these mainly to use for storing my produce in, hoping it would keep them fresh longer. I tend to toss out a good amount of my fruits and veggies because I don't use them fast enough or I just bought too much. These bags have far exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how easy they are to use, and love that the pump is small and rechargeable!! This little handheld pump sucks the air right out of the bag, if it isn't working it's usually because the zip close isn't sealed tight, easy fix. This works better than my food saver system, and that is enough reason to use them for freezer storage. I love to sous vide and these bags are perfect for that!! I bought a second set for my brother, who's a truck driver, and prefers to eat healthy and prepare simple meals on the truck. He has a small refrigerator/freezer, microwave and outlets for instant pot, microwave etc. These might work out nicely for simple meal prepping. Highly recommend this product.
Will-Review4U : So many Sous vide bags and more
This set of sous vide bags and supplies is one of the best bundles I have purchased since I started to cook with my new device. The items are packaged within an unmarked brown which can also serve as a statute container for the bags, clips, and pumps. This is the first set of bags I have purchased that provide additional blue circle suction stickers for the bags. The pump is a small handheld size that charges using standard micro usb cord. I use these bags to not only prep and use in my sous vide pot but also to preserve food for a few days after items are cooked.
Aminalee : Doesn’t work
It did not work. Plus there were no instructions. I spent $25 for nothing more useful than a ziplock bag
jesse : Highly recommend.
The ziplock bags will not let air in after you use the vacuum pump, the pump works very well for something so small and its rechargeable. Overall I love this product and I will be buying more in the future. I highly recommend this product.
M E King : Easy to use and store
Love this hand held vacuum sealer does a great job sealing. The sealed bags have held up in the freezer for many days. I have a big vacuum sealer that is easy to use but it is so big it's not handy to use. It came with so many different size bags, I feel I will not need to reorder the bags for years. I've only had this product for a week so I can't speak to it's durability ,yet. The delivery was quick and the price was very reasonable. I am very happy with this purchase.
Jeremy L : Vacuum sealer doesn't last long (couple months)
Bags are fine, but what's the point if the vacuum isn't going to work. It worked well the first few times, but after about a month or two, the vacuum no longer works. It charges and it makes the noise, but there is zero suction now.
Save your money, stay away from this type of vacuum sealer, it's too low quality.
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.
C-Mac : AMAZING!!!
$24.99 bought all of this minus one bag drying and 3 in use in the fridge. I freeze alot and I can freeze these flat, which will allow them to fit better. This is brilliant since air is the culprit for making things go bad. And the bags are reusable!!!!!! The little instruction booklet looks like its been typed up by a person with dyslexia, and nobody bothered to proofread, but, the product itself is amazing!!!!
Hopeinformer : Very Slow but seems to work
I just received the SealVac and used it a couple times. We'll see how it holds up over time. I'm a bit confused. The manual says its the "As Seen on TV" SealVac Deluxe and even shows that image on the vacuum sealer but the sealer is completely blank. Also, they didn't even spell the word "seal" correctly. Also, I don't know what Strong Pre-Made Meals are, but the instructions say these are great for them.
What I do like about this set is that comes with extra vacuum seal stickers. I haven't tried the attachment for liquids but it looks like a brilliant idea for keeping the liquids out of the vacuum while using it. I actually got this for the large bags so I can vacuum seal my rolls of filament.
Wurdywoman : Electric Vacuum Sealer
Revised: I received this sealer July 7, 2020. It is now November 17, 2020 and I wish I could say "it sucks" because it doesn't. Fortunately I kept my old hand pump as a backup. If you want a pump that lasts 4 months, this is your deal. Otherwise, NO. The ONE star is just for the bags, they're great.
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.
Tony Olbrich : It works well and it's cheap!
This is a great little kitchen gadget! While I do have a couple old style vacuum sealers, this is much more convenient to use because of the reusable bags and pump. The bags come in 3 very useful sizes, are easy to seal and clean. The kit comes with a couple sealing tools if you don't have the finger strength. I really appreciate the extra parts to repair the bags in case the air valves wear out. The USB rechargeable pump is descently strong, and has a removable suction cup attachment that traps liquids getting pumped out of the bag. That makes it easier to empty and clean.
Note, it's very important to not overfill the bags. Also, it's not super fast so it takes a few seconds to start seeing the bags decompress. I like it, and would buy again if needed. We'll see how durable it is long term, but so far, so good. And like I said in the title, it works well and it's cheap!
Rick Brafford : AWESOME
This thing is amazing! Reusable bags are a Hugh Plus! Works better than I expected. I am no longer loosing food! Put cut avacados in a bag and 3 days later they were just as fresh as the day i cut them! They didn't get riper or mushy, the color was still perfect and they tasted amazing! If you are an avacado eater you know how quickly those go bad! Everything I've sealed from fruits to cheeses to meats in the freezer are maintaining their freshness way longer than just bagging them. And unlike sealing machines you can open these and take out part of what you've saved and seal it right back up! Hiw cool is that!! In case you didn't already know, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!

Carol J. Roberts : So glad I took a chance on this!
Initially I had planned to buy a Foodsaver, but the seller let me down, so back to square 1. This handheld vacuum sealer looks more like a toy than a serious kitchen tool. It was really the videos that convinced me to give it a try. I've only had it a short time, and I'm already looking to buy more bags, because I can see using this on a daily basis for keeping produce fresh and for freezing. I often forget about produce and end up having to throw it out, so this will mean less waste and more money saved.
I've already used it to sous vide a steak, but I forgot to take a pic. Even so, these pics of broccoli (cooked), mushrooms, pecans, and tomatoes show how tight the vacuum sealing is. They look positively shrink-wrapped, don'tcha think?
Cons: The only shortcoming I've found is that you can't use it for anything wet, because the vacuum pump will suck up the liquid. For wet stuff, just dunk the bag into a container of water up to the zipper lock, which squeezes out the air, and then zip. I also wish the kit came with some sandwich-sized bags.
Pros: Less than half the cost of a "traditional" vacuum sealer, reusable bags, compact size, rechargable, quiet operation, extremely easy to use. You don't even have to hold on to it while it's vacuuming!
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.
Rick Brafford : AWESOME

mc : hard to get air out
not easy to get the suction started
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
Jamie George : Good choice to avoid waste
Ok, minuses first: if you plan on reusing these bags, clean them immediately after using. Food can be difficult to get out of the corners. Other than that, the bags and vacuum are very easy to use. Each bag will likely hold up for several uses. I’m glad I bought this product to make my sous vide experience less wasteful.
Farida Bashirova : Very useful!
Before having this vacuum sealer I always had to purchase plastic bags to keep my food in it, but now I don't need to get it anymore. These plastic bags are reusable, strong, and most importantly keeps my food fresh and longer. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone because your life can be much easier by making small changes in your kitchen. The vacuum pump is re-chargeable, so you don't put any effort on vacuuming your products, which I think it's a plus. Also, using vacuum bags help you to organize your refrigerator so your food doesn't take much place.
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!
Glorysaber : Bad value as its not really reusable
Trying to get the smell out of a bag of even frozen greens is impossible, yet alone the work it takes after meat was stored in the bag or you use it for sous vide... Each bag is one use.
