Product reviews of Wevac Chamber Vacuum Sealer, CV12, ideal for liquid or juicy food including Fresh Meats, Soups, Sauces and Marinades. Compact design, Heavy duty, Professional sealing width, Commercial machine
Tamera Tower : Sealed 20 bags
After sealing 20 bags, the machine started throwing error codes for not enough suction. It appears the seam in the gasket blew out during the process. It's either a defective gasket or the quality of materials. It's too bad; we were excited about our purchase.
Update**** we got a second one sent to us and it worked well for a few months and then the heating element for the sealer fell into the machine. Thus making it impossible to vac or seal. Waiting to hear back from the company....
WILLIAM H UTTRICH : Beware, pay more for better reliability.
Product worked fine for the two or three times I used it. But the no suction, no seal, product just quit working. Just outside of the 30 day return standard. So now, i have a GIANT paperweight, when what i really need is a vacuum sealer! Would not recommend.
Diancatzdogz : Good machine
The instruction book leaves a lot to be desired. I tried to seal a bag of water and it took me 4 tries. For one the sealing wasn't long enough, I thought it would be set for the thicker bags that are normally used for this type of sealing and it isn't I had to up it to 4.5 to get it to seal. Auto bag size is easy since it has a measuring ruler on the outside to determine the bag size. These bags come in rolls so sometimes they curl and if it doesn't sit just right the bag will not vacuum properly. I feel I have finally figured out how to properly use it and look forward to doing some soups and things I could never do before with my regular unit. I am not sure about the custom settings and how to determine how long something will take to vacuum properly and the book is of no help in that area. Even the part about just sealing the bag without the suction is barely mentioned in the instructions. The way I did it is to close the lid and immediately press the seal button, that seemed to work. It is a nice machine but the instruction booklet should explain the steps better especially for those of us that have never used this type of machine before. BTW it did do a decent job on sealing the water when I finally got it to work but there were still some air bubble in it. I did enjoy watching the water while vacuuming it, the water actually bubbles while it is suctioning the air out.
Frank E. Trinkle : Probably the best Chamber Vacuum Sealer in this price class. Excellent (but big!)
I am a Professional Home and Personal Chef and I also teach cooking and knife skills. I take all of my kitchen items, tools, utensils, knives, serving items, other accessories, and food products very seriously. When I test and review culinary items, I am highly critical and meticulous in evaluating and rating them. My reviews are honest and unbiased. Good is good…bad is bad!
I use a vacuum sealing almost constantly for various purposes...including very frequent sous vide cooking. Additionally, I generally buy bulk meat and butcher to portions regularly and freeze for storage. I do the same with many other items as well, so vacuum sealer quality is important to me to assure tight seals that hold without leaking in Sous Vide, and allow no air intrusion to prevent freezer burn when storing for the long term. For freshness, I also vacuum seal dry items like nuts and beans to extend their usable life.
This chamber vacuum sealer is probably the best in the price class that I have tested, evaluated and reviewed. While it is not likely to be a permanent placement on a home kitchen counter due to its size, it is easy to move and use when needed.
Details: * Excellent sized chamber to handle bags up to 11" wide. * Control settings are easy and functional. Choose either auto or manual sealing * The unit has a size chart located just under the front cover to determine large, medium or small bags for the most efficient operation of the sealer vacuum. * A special "Marinate" setting will effectively marinate in-bag and produce results in short order that would take many hours longer via refrigeration marinating. This is also effective for sealing liquids for storage. * Time adjustments can be made to address needs for vacuum and sealing times.
Pros: * Extremely well-made and constructed. Robust design built to last. * Relatively medium counter footprint when brought out to use. * Controls are easy to operate per instructions and very intuitive as time progresses. Simple/Effective * Marinating feature is awesome and the time for the on and off vacuuming can be adjusted. * No click-lock down press is required for either operation. Just shut the lid easily and let the machine do its thing! * Easy to clean and store Simple wipe out the chamber with a clean, damp towel and you're done. * Only requires 20-seconds between vacuum sealing * Dry vacuum motor is robust and built to last.
Cons: * Truly, none found
The internal chamber sealer can utilize any plastic vacuum bag, with or without a "bumpy" (dimples) side. Seals are excellent and torture tested by hanging a full bag of water for 6-hours without any seal issues.
I will get a lot of use out of this unit in my own home kitchen...especially the marinating feature. It is easily going to replace a chamber vacuum unit that I already own, but this one is superior by far! It will be used in conjuntion with a more traditional vacuum sealer that has a max bag width of 15" that I also use with very long bags for fish and brisket. For Sous Vide, Food Storage, and other vacuum sealed needs, this is a superbly designed machine and a fantastic value price for the quality. Glad to see that these are coming down to the Prosumer level and more affordable than the grossly expensive units found in Commercial Kitchens, yet as functional for the sizes of product to be vacuum sealed!
I rate this with a very strong FIVE STARS, and expect it to last for years with simple care. It gets my professionally honest and VERY hearty recommendation! Best in its class in my opinion! Bon Appetit!

tom webb : A very good value and works great
I have had the CV12 for about a month with 50 uses so far. It works quite well with no trouble at all. Some people may criticize for it being made in China but try to find one that is not where you don't have to get a second mortgage to buy it.
One note. Some have had problems with the seal bit you may want to consider a little vegetable oil to prevent it from drying out.
aScotsman : faulty product on top of late delivery
Sadly this is the second time Amazon has dropped the ball. Received a faulty Vacuum sealer, did not even switch on, followed by a delay in issuing my refund.
Terrible customer service!
Scott Campbell : Does the job well with minimal effort
I’ve been shopping for chamber vacuum sealers for about a year now. Many of the models I found look like they are industrial, way too big, or international shipping would cost nearly as much as the appliance itself. This one caught my eye because it looked presentable enough to keep in the kitchen, was large enough that it would take the biggest vacuum sealer bags I need, and was small enough that it didn’t require me to get rid of any of my existing appliances. The price was reasonable, so I decided to buy it despite not having any reviews.
It arrived triple-boxed, with thoughtful placement of packing paper. I read through the entire instruction booklet right away. There were several grammatical errors, but I understood what the manufacturer was saying. I installed the sealing bar (in which you simply push it into place), connected the power cable, and it was ready to go.
My first attempt failed to seal. I realized that with the lid open, you can press the sealing button and adjust the sealing time up or down. I increased it to 4. My second attempt failed with the error E01 on the LCD, and I believe this happens when you don’t gently press the top down for a second or two when it first starts sealing. This was my fault. My third attempt partially sealed, and I knew from my first attempt that I needed to increase the sealing time slightly, so I changed it to 4.5. The setting you need may vary depending on the vacuum sealer bags you use, but 4.5 worked for me.
I made some soft ice packs with water and isopropyl alcohol, something I wasn’t able to do very easily with the vacuum sealer I bought more than 10 years ago. It’s almost grilling season, and these are nice to keep food at safe temperatures when it’s hot out.
The machine beeps twice each time you use it, and I’d prefer the beeping to be a little quieter. The vacuum pump is a little loud (as expected), so I won’t be using this late at night, but I’m happy with my purchase. I would recommend it to anyone who has a need to vacuum seal marinated foods, liquids like stews and soups, or other items that wouldn’t seal easily with an inexpensive consumer-grade sealer.
