Questions about Inkbird Vacuum Sealer Machine with Starter Kit, Automatic PowerVac Air Sealing Machine for Food Preservation, Dry & Moist Sealing Modes,Built-in Cutter,Easy Cleaning Storage with Sealer Bag*5 (8"*11.8")and Bag Roll*1 (8"*79")
Q:
Where is the canister attachment to be able to seal mason jars?? Why is this not included? Where do I purchase one?
Answer: Inside the unit is a port to attache the included vac hose, and the other end attaches to mason jar. It is included.
Q:
What about excess moisture from the food in the bag? How good is the seal with beef juices getting pulled towards the sealer?
Answer: I follow directions and keep the meat at least 3 inches from the top of the bag. When I am sealing meat with juices in the bag, it pulls some juices toward the sealed edge, but it's so fast that the juice never gets to the sealed edge. Of course I do not add a lot of extra juice, just the natural in the meat and maybe a teaspoon extra.
Answer: You have to try and eliminate as much moisture as possible. But, when sealing, I watch for the liquid to start getting toward the sealing iron area and will hit the Seal button to make it start its heat seam early. Once done, I wipe the sealed area and make a second seal about 1/4" past the first just to ensure it is not going to leak.
Answer: When set to Moist food, it pulls a much softer vacuum and begins sealing much sooner. As mentioned in another answer, you can press 'Seal' to stop the vacuum and seal the bag.
Q:
Can this device be used with the Foodsaver mason jar sealer? In other words, will the accessory tube fit the mason jar device?
Answer: Yes, this will fit. I have both. :-)
Q:
Can this vacuum seal soups? Like chicken noodle soup? Any tips on Technique?
Q:
I want to vacuum seal canning jars of dried food. What do I need to do this?
Q:
I know the sealing bar is 11.8 inches long, but how wide is it? 3mm, 5mm?
Answer: 1.27 cm or 1/2 inch.
Q:
Can i use for guava leaf? if i can which food mode should i use? can i know please.
Answer: fresh leaves, yes.. wash and pat dry. place inside a small (quart size) bag. vacuum using the dry mode, and gentle pressure or the bag will krinkle up. if it continues to krinkle up, try using the moist mode, as that does not continue to pull air out as long as the dry mode does. The other thing you could try doing is use an ice cube tray, add water to it, add one leaf per section and then freeze. once frozen, pop the ice cubes out and store in the freezer in a ziplock bag.
Answer: Not familiar with Guava Leaf, but when vacuum sealing anything moist you can pay careful attention to when liquid begins creeping towards the machine an press seal. This stops the vacuum and begins sealing immediately.
Answer: Yes, you can use the dry setting.
Q:
Can you vacuum seal cooked foods?
Answer: Yep I do it all the time
Q:
Which bags should i order? will foodsaver bags work?
Answer: Food saver bags will work fine
Answer: Yes, Food Saver bags work. I'm using https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B089B19X8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these work very well.
Answer: I've only used the Inkbird brand, and they work great. I'm sure you can use other brands of vac seal bags.
Q:
Can you use this on mylar bags?
Answer: It would depend on the thickness of the bag because you can't adjust the heat seal setting. If the mylar bag is too thin, it would burn right through.
Q:
How to order extra bags? Any brand will do? Are they reusable?
Answer: I do not think bags are reusable. I order more bags online. But you can get them in stores too.
Answer: Yes, the bags are reusable. I checked the listing for replacement bags to verify.
Q:
What are the dimensions of this machine?
Answer: Length: 15” x 4” Wide
Answer: Scroll all the way to the bottom it shows ya in detail
Q:
What canisters can be used with this vacuum sealer? I see some listed but can’t tell which are compatible.
Answer: If the cannister has the port on the lid, it is compatible. Its not a specialty port dedicated to one brand or the other, but universal, unless otherwise stated in the write-up for the items.
Q:
Which bags should i order? will foodsaver bags work?
Answer: Food saver bags will work fine
Answer: Yes, Food Saver bags work. I'm using https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B089B19X8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these work very well.
Answer: I've only used the Inkbird brand, and they work great. I'm sure you can use other brands of vac seal bags.
Q:
Seller: why is the cannister lid to use on mason jars not included?? where do i find one?
Answer: Same reason French Fries are not part of buying a hamburger. Its an add-on. Just search for vacuum sealer cannister lid on amazon.
Q:
will the accessory attachment fit the food saver Wide mouth jar sealer? (it looks like to be a much wider attachment)
Answer: yes, just cut off one end and heat the hose a little and it will fit onto the inkbird port
Q:
Is this made in the USA?
Answer: NOT made in USA, product of China.
Answer: No. China.
Q:
Is this a dual voltage device? (110-220/240V)?
Q:
Will this seal quart and pint or canning jars?
Answer: Yes, it comes with an attachment to vac seal jars. If you open the unit lid, there is a port to attach the little vac hose, and the other end attached to the jars.
Q:
Can you re-seal things like potato chips in the bag they came in?
Answer: You can and I do!
Q:
Does it work with smooth bags?
Answer: I've only used the bags provided. But I don't know why a smooth bag wouldn't work provided the thickness is the same.
Answer: The not-smooth bags are made to let air get sucked out past the food. Smooth bags won't work as well for this part and you may end up with air left over. Should seal just fine though.
Q:
Hello, can this sealer work with both 110-220v? Thanks!
Answer: Not sure as I have only used with 110v.
Q:
Has anyone had this sealer overheat? I have had cheaper ones that if you run them too much they stop working until they cool down.
Answer: It has not overheated on me with doing 10+ straight seals ( have had need yet for more). I can tell you the Mueller I bought on Amazon would stop pulling after 3, drove me nuts. I own multiple different Inkbird products like insta read therms, multi port therms and everything works top notch. I would not hesitate to buy it.
Answer: The instructions say to wait one minute between sealing. Therefore, fill a bag, vacuum seal, open unit and remove sealed bag. Repeat process. Today I sealed 8 bags of homemade Bratwurst this way (small bags). I would suggest anything beyond that small task, you will need a larger Vac/sealer. But for my operation, it worked perfectly!
Answer: I’ve done up to four bags in a row. No issues.
Q:
Can the vacuum hose be used on food saver containers?
Answer: I returned the Inkbird Vacuum Sealer because it was extremely difficult to lock and when locked did not perform as well as I expected. Also, it was not large enough to accommodate Food Saver 11.8" bags. I did not even try to use it on the Food Saver containers I still have from my old Food Saver Vacuum Sealer, which I used for many years before it finally gave out.
Answer: I’ve been trying, but I can’t figure out how to make the hose compatible with Food Saver brand containers, which is a bummer.
Answer: Yes, if the container is airtight you can suck the air out. Good luck.

Amazon Customer : Overall good
More often than not I have to hold the lid down when sealing.
Michael K. : Awesome for the money
There’s absolutely no need to spend $300 on a vacuum sealer. This is excellent and works just as good. I haven’t found a flaw yet.
Amazon Customer : Overall good
More often than not I have to hold the lid down when sealing.
Kelli : Great purchase!
Instructions were not great but once figured out we love it! Easy to use, love the small size and provides exactly what we were looking for!
Krystal : Moist reheated brisket
Food saver has helped save those extra pieces of meat and cheese last longer. Definitely useful in reheating brisket. Just place the vacuum sealed meats into a boiling pot of water to reheat meat without dry meat out.
Patrick Skipper : Great Vacuum Sealer.
Been wanting to get a vacuum sealer for a long time. Very happy with the one that I decided one. When I cook on my smoker, I like to “Fill the Grill”. This allows me to do just that and know that I can safely freeze leftover. Very easy to use. Price point is right on.
Lisa Winkler : Great
This is awesome and has certainly paid for itself!
Jennifer A. Cerciello : Easy to use and quieter than expected. Great value!
Nice! Arrived quickly and well packaged. This is our first vacuum sealer and it was very easy to setup and use. It sealed three bags of chicken wings quickly and the machine is quieter than I expected. The build seems solid and I expect this to last us a while. I own several Inkbird products which work well for me. Great affordable products.
Mark : Good product
Works great easy to use
Lauren J. : Blown away
Blown away how easy to use this is. Perfect chicken every time now.
BB : I love it.
I really like the vacuum sealer. Its a real good value. The slim design make for ease of use. Once I read the instructions, it was very easy to use. I was getting stuck on the vacuum not working, but its because I didn't have the bag placed correctly. After that, it was a breeze to use. The bag sizes are good sizes as well.

Steve Hernandez (Mexibeast) : Great value great price
I absolutely love this product, works great and a great price compared to other brands. Highly recommend
John I. : Good Deal.
Purchased for small batch sausage making (under 5 lbs) and kitchen use for a retired two person household. Perfect! Any intended use beyond that you might consider a unit that does not require 60 second cool down between sealing cycles, But for us, it performs as expected.
Ray Claytor : No bag cutter
Hello,
It was pretty easy to use the suction is ok. If the bag is not lined up perfect it will not work. It does not come with the bag cutter which is disappointing because it is advertised.
James Kelly : Money saver
This is going to save me so much money in lost frozen food due to freezer burn! Perfect size and seals as expected. Also has suction feature for my reusable sous vide bags. Love it!
David : Worked great!
Sealed 10 pounds of jerky without any issues. Worked very well.
Joe C ODonnell : Great compact vacuum sealer!
This Inkbird vacuum sealer works great. It's easy to use. It comes with 5 bags and a roll of customizable material so i was able to vacuum seal stuff right away. Highly recommended for portioning meat for meal prepping, or those stupid giant bags of chips at costco that go stale before you're done with it: Open, portion it out and seal.
Having this opens so many other options for buying in bulk.. Buy, it rules!
J.Hernandez : Great value
Honestly can’t beat it for the price. It comes with a nice starter kit to get you sealing right away. It’s well packaged and well built. Don’t hesitate to buy.
Lauren J. : Blown away
Blown away how easy to use this is. Perfect chicken every time now.
LeonGT : A Versatile and Convenient Sous Vide Companion
I started sous-vide about a month ago using Ziploc and the water displacement method. What I have found is that air bubbles inevitably form on the contact surface between the steak and the bag and those places turn out to be unevenly cooked. I am sure it doesn't matter that much if you cook for much longer but I am kinda always in a rush for a meal! This vacuum sealer works very well in suctioning out all the air, which makes the steak in perfect contact with the heat transmission surface. It is also quieter and faster than Foodsaver from what I've seen in comparison videos. Great buy overall at the sale price!
CODragonJr : Great Value!
This saver was a great product to receive. I have enjoyed using it to seal chip bags, meat, freezer foods, etc. Why some people spend 4x the price is beyond me when Inkbirds products are top-tier quality and their customer service is impeccable if you have any issues whatsoever.
Jen Herzberg : Powerful, space saving maching
I've been looking at vacuum sealers for awhile now as I like to shop in bulk and freeze meats. I also want to be able to do sous vide. After looking around I chose this one because of it's low price, and because of the brand. I own some other Inkbird products I use for smoking and grilling, and they have been great, so I know they make a great product.
The instructions are very easy to understand. Out of the box I was able to set it up easily, and started sealing bags and vacuum sealing meats right away. The seal is strong, there has been no air leaking (which I have had problems with other sealers).
One feature I really like is the choice between wet/dry foods. Other sealers have problems when things are still a little moist. This takes that into account so it doesn't mess up the seal.
It comes with enough bags to get you going.
Overall a really good item. I would purchase again.
David : Worked great!
Sealed 10 pounds of jerky without any issues. Worked very well.
Smokey Jones bbq : EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!
This product is GREAT!! I love the built in cutter on the top makes it super essential to not have to look for my scissors to cut the roll. The speed is amazing and the vacuum suction is super strong. I highly would recommend this product to anyone who wants a great food storage system.
Gordon : cutter doesn't work.
the slider (cutter) does nothing. for my purposes (sous vide) it is working OK so far. next time food saver goes on sale, I'll get one of those.
tnich : Great vacuum sealer
This sealer really does the job. Suction and sealing are very good.
peter ogden : Perfect Sous Vide companion tool!
I avoided trying Sous Vide cooking for a long time. It sounded like too much of a hassle. Really? Put your food in a plastic bag and let it cook in water for several hours? With this vacuum sealer, I can buy several steaks, add a little marinade to the bag, seal, and then put in my freezer. Food is already in the bag and ready for sous vide cooking. Great compact design of this device allows for easy storage.
Jean Michel Juin : cant get bags to stay vacuum sealed
I have hardly used it and unfortunately past my return date. I have wasted so many bags trying to get my meat to be vacuumed properly, read all the reviews and took others suggestions. The gold sealing bar is damaged and after i seal something, bag sticks in places when I pull it off. I'm really disappointed because I have the inkbird sous vide which I love and thought this would be just as good of a product. I can't sous vide my meat if bags aren't sealed.
Jacqueline : Easy to use!
Easy to use. Small enough to leave on counter. Looking forward to use all the time for freshly brought foods and fresh vegetables.
Patrick Skipper : Great Vacuum Sealer.

Derek G. : worked once
Worked once then never sucked again. It sealed but no suction.
Jeff S. : Great vacuum sealer
I've been using a Food Saver for years. This Inkbird is great! easy to use and a very small unit. Highly recommended!
Mark : Good product
Works great easy to use
S. Fleming : I love this machine, but it stopped working
The Inkbird Vacuum Sealer Machine stopped working all of a sudden. I loved it before that. Company has poor customer service.
David : Worked great!
Sealed 10 pounds of jerky without any issues. Worked very well.
Meadowviewbbq : Has great suction and repeatability. Nice Vac Sealer.
Bought this to replace a vac sealer that was sub par at best. My old until was around $100. This vac sealer has a small footprint and seals up bags for sous vide and freezing like a champ. Great value
tnich : Great vacuum sealer
This sealer really does the job. Suction and sealing are very good.
DSmith : Easy to use
My wife likes this better than the foodsaver one we've had for a while. Let's see how long it lasts.

Madina Mirkholdarova : You don't need to freeze the meat
Very handy for storing food and keeping it fresh
Darrin : The ability to vac seal wet items.
Love this vacuum sealer. I love that it has a wet and dry button. I use this mainly for marinades and my old one would always suck the juice out. With this one, I don't have that problem. Highly recommend!!!
Tyler and Lindsay : Great value
Recently received this vacuum sealer and I must say I am impressed. Not only is it’s size idea for storage it’s ability to seal is great! Perfect for the everyday home user! As good if not better than my food saver!
Ali k : Good
I like it
Meadowviewbbq : Has great suction and repeatability. Nice Vac Sealer.
Bought this to replace a vac sealer that was sub par at best. My old until was around $100. This vac sealer has a small footprint and seals up bags for sous vide and freezing like a champ. Great value
K. Wheeler : My first vacuum sealer!
This is so fun to use and comes with a pretty decent supply of bags. I buy large packs of chicken breasts from the wholesale club, cut into bite size pieces, and season for soup. I was able to seal 4 bags of chicken in just a few minutes, and am looking forward to trying to store other items, like herbs.
K. Marshall : Poor suction
This definitely has little to no suction power. Unfortunately, I am returning mine. I did have high hopes for this, but it just didn't seem to hold up as I had expected. This would be replacing another older vacuum sealer that finally stopped working. Knowing what to expect, I tried moist foods, dry foods, things like rice and solids like steak. None of them seemed to be a good tight seal. I thought I had found a great bargain on Prime Day, but it was not to be.
DSmith : Easy to use
My wife likes this better than the foodsaver one we've had for a while. Let's see how long it lasts.
Arnie A : Not a good product
Fails to seal half the time. Thicker bag don't seal properly. Can't slip bag through top to get an angle to seal larger bag diagonally. Don't recommend. Throwing mine away today as it is too late to return it.
