KEY FEATURES
Luminous LED Ring
After extensive research about the way in which people work in the kitchen, we make food vacuum sealer machines more user friendly. The unique luminous LED ring will give you a clear sign of vacuuming and sealing, or when it is done.
One-Touch Operation
FRESKO V8 eliminates the multiple manual operations necessary with typical vacuum sealing devices. Intelligent one-touch vac-seal offers true convenience, true automation, and true ease of use.
Removable Magnetic Drip Tray
The magnetic drip tray catches falling crumbs or excess liquid, keeps your countertop clean, the removable design is for easy cleaning.
Sous-Vide Cooking Assistant
With moist mode, Fresko V8 is a perfect way to finish the first step in sous vide cooking. Instead of using a microwave, you can boil your vac-sealed food.
Easy to Use
Step 1 - Insert the open end of bag with food into the sealer and make sure there is no excessive moisture and overfilling.
Step 2 - Choose the vacuum mode you want - just one touch, Fresko V8 automatic vacuum sealer will do the rest.
Step 3 - After the LED progress bar turns to be a circle, and hear a "click", take out the vacuumed food.
Preparation Guidelines for Meat and Fish:
For best results, pre-freeze meat and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging in a FRESKO Bag. This helps retain the juice and shape and guarantees a better seal.
If it’s not possible to pre-freeze, place a folded paper towel between meat or fish and top of the bag, but below the seal area. Leave the paper towel in the bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during the vacuum packaging process.
Note: Beef may appear darker after vacuum packaging due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an indication of spoilage.
Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables:
Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum packaging. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color, and texture. Note: All vegetables (including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases during storage. Therefore,
after blanching, they must be stored in the freezer only.
When freezing vegetables, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen.

Q:
How does this machine operate fully automatically? Is it better to use than the traditional open-cap vacuum sealer on the market?
Answer: This product breaks the traditional rules of the game. You only need to feed the bag into a vacuum-sealed cavity, touch it gently, and it will automatically complete the rest work and release bag. Traditional hand-pressed vacuum machines often encounter wrinkles in the seal when releasing the hands to close the lid, causes the vac sealing effect is poor. This product can solve these problems well, free your hands, and ensure an efficient and stable vacuum seal.

Q:
What’s the difference between this and V8? Are they the same features wise and only differ in size?
Answer: As far as I could see the features of the V3 and V8 were much the same. The taller narrower profile of the V8 suited me better and it has been excellent so far. It is also a good deal heavier, which seems good as you do not want it moving as you have to slot the bag in and have it stay while you seal. For detail comparison can only suggest that you contact the vendor

Product reviews of Automatic Vacuum Sealer Machine, FRESKO 5-In-1 Hands-Free Food Sealer for Food Saver, 95Kpa Vacuum Sealer, Dry & Moist Food Modes,Compact Design with 20PC Vacuum seal Bags
Tasha : I wish I had returned this
I have sat in my kitchen for 30 minutes trying to steal one bag. Do you think that it’s hands-free know you have to make sure that the bag is bigger than the ledge or you have to place the bag on something to lift it up in order for it to work but also you have to squeeze Sierra and maneuver the background to make sure it’s still sucking or else it’s not gonna work. I wish I had returned it.
Desirae : Where has this been all of my life?
So easy to use and store. There are small wrap hooks for the cord on the bottom of this unit. I use these type of wine corks since the company doesn't make any at this time: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004SAF5/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 Although it's rare for us to not finish a bottle of wine these days...
Game changer if you're trying to cut back on food waste!
JW : Almost perfect
It’s great….except the hose attachment is WAY too short, almost rendering it useless. Huge design flaw in my opinion. To use it, you have to flip the entire machine around. Big oversight. Otherwise, works well.
julie w : Wow
I love this thing. So easy to use and clean
Robert Johnson : Great for the price!
I know there are better units out there but at his price point, it is hard to beat! I have sealed maybe a 100 bags now. Works great! I seal up all kinds of things! Love this unit.
Girlwerks : Absolutely Best Buy in a long time!
Everything it said it was and more!! How did I ever live without it? Small and light enough to grab it from under the counter with no problems! I love it!
C.Lacroix : Love it, but it doesn’t like making longer seals with eco/biodegradable bags on moist setting
I love this! It’s easy to use! My only grip is that it doesn’t like the biodegradable compostable bags I purchased separately when used on the “Moist” setting. The longer the seal I need lengthwise for these bags, the more of a problem I have with them. I believe that this is due to the fact that those bags are a bit thinner and less stiff than regular plastic ones and when I need a longer seal, the bags tend to get a little warped on the inside of the machine. There’s a 50/50 chance of wiping the interior seal gasket off and/or simply flipping the bag around and trying again and again gets it to work finally, but not always. With these bags, I have to plan to seal them on the shorter side or just end up using a dry seal or doing a moist seal and then quickly canceling the process and then pressing the seal button just to get it to work, but I wouldn’t push my luck trying to do a moist seal this way with something that completely full of liquids being not sure if that would ruin the machine or not. I’m not sure why the two different seal options don’t work equally with this bag, but they just do. I didn’t come across a single issue with the dry setting at all after I learned how to use this machine, which was quick and easy to do! With the bags the machine came with, I did not have this same problem as the biodegradable bags. However, I didn’t by this machine with the intentions of using it with regular plastic seal bags polluting the planet with more plastic so it’s a minor inconvenience of working around this problem (making sure the vacuum sealing of the bags is on the shorter side or cutting the bags smaller) for trying to do better for the environment. So it DOES work with these bags (Vesta Eco pouch bags) but it just doesn’t care to work as well for the bigger seal only on the Moist setting, but this is more so probably a bag issue than an issue with the machine. I also DO love the smooth internal buttons with a simple hidden touch screen, but after wiping this off a few times, I can see that it does scratch easily even when using a gentle touch. I keep mine in the box to keep it in new condition because...well...kids! Lol!!...but I’m still curious how long the top will stay in new condition with only a few gentle wipes can put light scratches on it. Also the silver is not a stainless steel, it’s a grey plastic in case anyone is wondering. My kitchen is stainless steel and black, which is why I chose this color, but had I known it was just a hard grey plastic, I would have just when with all black, but that’s just my personal opinion on that one. Looks and feels nice and sturdy so it feels like it will still last a long time.
Mangmang : Does not seal when I use 11inch width bag.
Everything went well until I used a 11inches width bag to do the dry seal. It stays at dry mode forever and does not do the seal mode. I had to use the small bag that came with the machine to do the dry-seal mode.
Fischer : No more squeeze box with the vacu sealer
This unit closes and opens with a touch of button. My old device required me to push down hard on both sides of the sealer to close. Often it still would not work, and I would have to repeat. After returning home from Costco with 30 items to seal it was a real pain. I have only had this sealer for a short time but if it continues to work as it has I will be very happy.
AskTheNanny : PIECE OF JUNK
Bought 3 of these, two as gifts. Two have stopped working completely at less than 6 mos. One was only used once and on 2nd time it crapped out. WHERE IS CUSTOMER SUPPORT ??
TabbieFayth : Quick and perfect seal
While this is noisy, I love the sealer. Gives a perfect seal every time. I've done dried rabbit heads, liver jerky and ground rabbit. And every item sealed with no issues.
I tested with both bags, and rolls and both worked smoothly. Now I just want to vacuum seal everything in my house.
Jan Blaylock : Great product
Love this, so easy to use!
Amazon Customer : Easy to use Vacuum Sealer
For the price point is does a great job on vacuum sealing food goods for the freezer. Just broke down some steak loins into the individual bags. Great way to save money buying bulk.
RQ : works well
I bought this to replace a very old seal a meal that was on it's last legs. The price was right and the reviews were positive. It is compact, easy to use and works well. Recommend
James : Easy to use
Easy to use, my wife loves it.
Tasha : I wish I had returned this
I have sat in my kitchen for 30 minutes trying to steal one bag. Do you think that it’s hands-free know you have to make sure that the bag is bigger than the ledge or you have to place the bag on something to lift it up in order for it to work but also you have to squeeze Sierra and maneuver the background to make sure it’s still sucking or else it’s not gonna work. I wish I had returned it.
JM : Great product...especially for the money
Ease of use was important to me and this machine was born easy to use. It efficiently removed the air from the bags and sealed the packages of steaks I had bought on sale.

Iris Rodgers : Fair
The “moist” setting doesn’t always work.

Carole B, Colorado : Plug
The plug won't stay attached for sealing. It falls out if you even touch the unit.

LoKo671 : Does not work on gallon size bags
I received this as a birthday gift from hubby to replace my 10yr old foodsaver. And although it does vacuum great, it cannot seal a bag that's 11 inch wide. It would not work with the bags I use with my Foodsaver. So I'm not sure if the unit I received is defective or it only seals using the quart size bags it came with. Unfortunately I just discovered this 2 days after the return by date.
j p : Awsome
Easy to use just push one button it takes care of the rest
M.Seif76 : What a deal
Just what I wanted!! Inexpensive, easy to use and not to big. I love using it!
Jessica Corey : Decent for the price
I've used this vacuum sealer several times now and there are pros and cons.
Pros: The price point was great. Very affordable. It's also very sleek and sits on my countertop nicely, but is small enough to fit into a cabinet for storage. It's also really easy to use. WHEN it vacuums and seals at the same time, it works great. I bought 2 different bag brands and both work just fine.
Cons: I'm having to unplug and re-plug the machine to get it to vacuum and seal all in one motion. I've worked with it multiple times, assuming that I'm doing something wrong, but it's hit and miss and doesn't appear to be something I'm doing wrong. It works perfectly each time I unplug it and plug it back in. It's a bit annoying, but it works.
Overall, not a bad purchase. I've gotten a lot of use out of it and I feel like I got my money's worth.
Likeitblue : A good one!
After two other well reviewed food vacuum sealers failed miserably, this was my last try and it works beautifully! Without cutting feature is minus but no buggy.
TAMI : By far the best sealer on the market!
After doing a lot of research on vacuum sealers, I finally decided on this one and boy am I glad I did. It’s small, stylish and works great. So easy to use.
Manuel Munoz Murillo : Good sealer but not perfect
Some times it doesn't work vacuum sealing and you have to figure it out how to properly put the bag in the right place to allow the sealer to suck the air from the bag. Sealing very well and perfectly and when you know how to align the bag with the vacuum chamber, it works well as well.
Carol Smith : Sad????
I only use it once a week to seal around 10 small bags and it is showing signs of failing , the heat strip is not hot enough to seal and when you use the Moist setting it pulls out to much liquid. I had a lot of hope for this one . I waited for the machine to get a couple of months old before writing a review , because sellers always want your review right after you get the product , and that is not when it fails ...

The Man on This Page : IT DOES SUCK!!!!!
A great little contraption for the money. Just be careful with some items you have to put that bag in exactly right in order for it to vacuum and seal.
Brad B. : A little trick to have control of the vacuum seal
Great product! My only complaint is it does not have a manual button to stop and seal at my preference. I solved this problem by using a 3/4” x 3/4” piece of wood about 24” long and added a strip of window sealer on the wood. I then apply this over the vacuum bag that is inserted in the machine. I hit “moist” and allow the vacuum process to happen. I push any button to stop the process while pushing down on the wood. The machine will reset and I then push the “seal” button and the machine will only seal. Some air might escape, but it works great for doing bread and soft pastries. If the machine, takes out too much air, simply decrease the pressure on the wood. It might take a few tries. But you can make it work. If your counter is tile or a rough surface, simply smooth cutting board or smooth plywood. I have a tile counter, but using a 16” x 20” plywood (3/4” thick) works just fine.
Amazon Customer : It's got power - good price
This food saver has very powerful suction. It's simple one touch is great and it's attractive on the counter. I've only used it a few times since I've had it a short time, on dry & moist food. It's just right for moist vac & sealing. When I used it for burger buns it squished them so I had to touch the button to stop it where I wanted it to seal - not a bad thing, good suction is what you want in a food saver! I'm happy with it so far.
Nana Nanny : Problematic
The power cord does not fit snugly into the slot at the back. The unit did not fire up until I jiggled the connection and as soon as I released my hand the unit went dark. What is up with this vacuum sealer???
Mar : Stopped sealing after 6 months
It worked good at first but 6 months later it doesn’t seal at all. Disappointed.
DENYALE HARRIS : Good product
I like the that it's easy to use. I don't like that sometimes you have to seal it twice depending on the food.
MoltoMama : Do not buy. Doesn’t work!
Right Out of the box it didn’t work. It’s sleek and beautiful and the instructions are idiot proof, but it just doesn’t “suck” the air out at all. Sending it back.
DJL : Great value. Helps me eat healthier. Way less food goes to waste.
This is my first vacuum sealer, and I chose it because the FoodSaver brand had horrendous reviews. Many of the other machines seemed to be garbage and offering people incentives for manufactured reviews. I'm pretty much in love with this Fresko sealer because it saves me so much money and helps me eat healthier. In conjunction with the Rubbermaid FreshWorks produce saver containers, I'm throwing out far less than I used to. My freezer is organized now. There aren't all these disparate bags of soon-to-be-freezer-burnt foods, and it's also aesthetically pleasing and appetizing to open a refrigerator or freezer and have these pre-made, pre-portioned bags ready. Conveniences like this are what stops the psychological will for me to go grab a quick bite (fast food) instead of having to cook. I notice myself going to the grocery store and not second guessing my produce purchases because I know I can keep them fresh. Normally, a helping of fresh green beans would promptly go to waste in the fridge before I could use them. Now they don't. That's one example. The thing shown next to it is cooked rice that I plan to freeze if not used within a day. I highly recommend purchasing Fresko's pint-sized resealable bags (as shown in photo, available here on Amazon). At $20, it's a bit pricey, but I find that they're worth it. I haven't tried with other brands of bags yet.
The one gripe I have is that it can occasionally be flaky about sealing if the food pouch isn't level with the sealer or if it detects an improper seal (even though it might look to you like all of the air has been removed from the bag). If you face problems, you can put your hand under the pouch while it seals, make sure you're not leaving too much room in the bag (slide it in close to as far as it will go), and make sure you're using the moist setting for anything remotely moist. While you can sometimes get a really tight seal with dry, it's inconsistent.

Melanie Griffith : Very powerful
I love this machine, it is very powerful and works very well at sucking all the air out. I have owned several machines in the past and I feel like after a while the machine needs a break to work properly, i did not seem to have any problems with this one. I vacuumed about 25 bags of steaks and it was still as great with the last one. Very happy with my purchase.
Simone T. : DO NOT BUY IT IS A WASTE!!!
I received and opened immediatly because I was excited to try it out; I had pretty high hopes. Let me tell you don't waste your money. I literally tried it 8 times with my husband and it was an epic fail! It will seal the bag everytime and only vacumed once. And then when it vacummed it took a long time. WE have a FoodSaver and my hubby pulled it out to compare the two. It was shameful how awfully this thing performed. It's soo cute and the ad makes it look so handy I didn't want to give up. I called customer service because maybe it was user error...now mind you there are only 3 buttons and no moving parts. But hey it could have been me. I called the number on the manual which has the model numer and specs on the back. The lady didn't know what I was talking about. I named the machine and gave the model listed. She kept saying " I need the model # from the manual" I was literally holding the dang manual in my hand. Then I turned over the machine and read her what was on the the machine (V8). Thats it thats all nothing else. She kept saying thats not it. It litterally says MODEL : V8. I was like screw it. So you can't get service or use the warranty if you pass the return period because they don't know what it is. All I wanted to do was find out if MAYBE there was something else I needed to try to make the machine work. It is packed up now and going back. DO NOT WASTER YOUR MONEY!!!
JW : Almost perfect
It’s great….except the hose attachment is WAY too short, almost rendering it useless. Huge design flaw in my opinion. To use it, you have to flip the entire machine around. Big oversight. Otherwise, works well.
Lena : LOOKS SLEEK AND PERFORMS GREAT!
I received the product very fast after placing the order. It was well packed. The machine looks sleek and performs great! I started to use it immediately. It is easy to use. It didn't take extra space on my kitchen counter top because I found it the same size as the foodservice film I used to use. It is a nice replacement. I used to throw away meat after sitting in the refrigerator for too long. I don't think I will after using this one. It is a good investment for saving and for health.
Bronzebunz : best Ive used
The Fresko vacuum sealer is fast, easy to use and compact in size. We do not have a lot of counter space for a bulky appliance so we took a chance on Fresko. It is everything it claimed to be. It is very fast and surprisingly quiet and the one touch operation makes it super easy. I have to give credit to the person at Fresko who put the video on how to use the machine on the site it literally made the difference in our decision to buy the unit. I have already recommended this product to a couple of friends and family. Greta product for a very fair price!!!
Greasemonkey : Mine doesnt work at all
I watched a YouTube video if this and it cant get any easier for me even...soon as i tried to use mine..it made the noises and it would seal the bag...but wouldn't vacuum at all...even through the hose you use for wine bottle..good news is...i reordered another one very easily and its easy to return if it doesnt work. I just received the new replacement Food Saver and it works like a charm..just like the YouTube video...its a keeper for me now...i guess i just got a bad one the first time..
IronMan883 : Awesome product to have.
This has been a great product to help keep my food fresh. I have my own meat grinder and it allows me to vacuum seal my fresh ground meats for deep freeze. I cut up my veggies and seal them when I have extra left over. Such a great tool in the kitchen.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
