Q:

What is the suction Kpa rating

Answer: MagicVac specs: Nominal pump flow rate: 18 l/min, Vacuum Pump Value: 61 cm/Hg -0,82 bar / -11.9 PSI

Q:

What's the warranty?

Answer: Yes our Magic Vac warranty is one year. In addition we stand behind all our vacuum sealers. if there is an issue we get it fixed. Located in Kansas City area we are here to support our customers. Thanks!

Answer: One Year

Q:

What is the best rating some machine say 75 to 85 Kpa.

Answer: Yes, we are one of the few Brands that will actually print our vacuum levels and pressure. Our pump Max Vacuum is indicated in the product manual. It is -0,82 Bar which is equivalent to -82 Kps, This level of vacuum is why we can state that using our vacuum products will increase food life up to 5X longer. Performance of MagicVac Maxima 2 pump has been measured both in vacuum bags and using canisters. Thanks!

Q:

With this work with Mylar storage bags?

Answer: Unlikely, if you're trying to seal mylar bags without some sort of modification. Like other vacuum sealers, this requires a textured material providing channels through which air flow. There are probably techniques you can use though to work around this limitation - check the search engines and Youtube.

Q:

How long is recommended to wait between seals? Website says back to back sealing but there’s usually still a wait time to avoid overheating.

Answer: I was able to use the seal only button four times in a row as fast as i could move the bag, lock it, and seal with no wait time in between. It did start to feel hot and smell like hot plastic but it did not force a delay.

Answer: The instructions and a separate sheet that came with the sealer state two minutes between complete cycles. In practice it takes me about that amount of time to setup the next package to be sealed. I don't have many times I'm sealing more than 5-10 packs at a time and if I do take less time it hasn't been a problem.

Answer: Our Magic Vac vacuum sealer is design for repetitive sealing, meaning back to back sealing. Our tests include 100 back to back seals. The seal bar design is different than most sealers and designed to displace the heat thus making a constant seal. Thanks!

Q:

Can this be used to seal Mylar storage bags?

Q:

which power volteg 120v or 220v

Q:

Can you use the Avid Armor bags with this unit and will it seal as good as the magic vac bags??

Q:

Does this vac system work like foodsaver vac systems?

Answer: Yes. Also as noted in my review Food Saver Jar sealers work with the Maxima2. Just use the tubing that comes with the Maxima2.

Answer: Yes very similar, with a few improved features. Plus this unit is made in Italy vs China. Thanks

Q:

How wide is the seal

Answer: 12.4 inches or 315mm

Q:

Do you have to use their bags or can you use other brands?

Answer: The Maxima 2 will vac and seal other brands of vacuum bags with channels or embossing. My suggestion is to try the MagicVac bags and rolls. They are awesome! Thanks!

Answer: You can use other bags but they might not fit into the compartment which makes it tricky for cutting.

Q:

I'd like to use this unit in a small business. sealing 1 to 200 bags per day. Would this machine be up to that task?

Q:

Cuáles el tamaño de bolsa más grande q esta máquina puede empacar ?

Answer: The maximum width is a 12" bag or roll. Our MagicVac Maxima 2 will handle the gallon bag which is 12x16" or a lengthy tube made from a 12" roll with no problems. Thanks

Q:

Can you get car adapter for this unit? Need to vacuum while hunting and need a really wide seal. Skinny ones pop to easy

Answer: The plug is hardwired into the unit - I don't see a way to exchange it for or plug into a a 12V or other adapter.

Q:

Why is the price cheaper on your website?

Answer: Good catch! Yes the new sale price on Amazon starts today! Thanks!

Prince of Peas : Simply, much better than I thought it would be. It should be standard in any kitchen.

I’ve been using vacuum sealers for many, many years now, both professionally, and at home.
Besides using them for freezing foods and other food storage, I typically use them a few times a week for use for my sous vide preparations which is something I do frequently.

For years I’ve been using another brand, well-known and considered a leader in the field. And, I can say I have never had a complaint about their quality or performance over the years, with one exception.

When I looked at this unit, and I saw all of the many controls it had, my original thought was that while they were good to have, a simple vacuum sealer does not need all of them and that they were selling fluff, adding gizmos, and gadgets just to be different and “better” because there were more bells and whistles. I admit that I have often bought items that were over-equipped because I thought they would be “better” and I always want the latest and greatest but, with my vacuum sealer, I stuck with the old “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” adage. And, do I really need LED lighting and a viewing window on a sealer?

When I saw this unit, however, I thought “would being able to control the speed, the vacuum, and the moisture to the degree that this unit allows, help me with the one issue that I had with my other sealers?” The issue I have always had was with very high moisture foods. The other sealers handled most of what I needed to vacuum, such as sealing a piece of meat that was high moisture or which had been marinated, without a problem. But very high moisture products, such as you’ll see in my photos, have been an issue. They would draw too much of the liquid into the vacuum chamber making it difficult to get a good vacuum and/or a good seal. They would also create a mess which is one reason you want your sealer to have a removable vacuum chamber, which this and most of my other sealers do.

I won’t go into detail about the sealer, most of it is there on the sales page and in other reviews. The only negative I had was that the body is all plastic. I’m sure it’s high-quality plastic and I know that the internal parts must be strong because this sealer weighs far more than my other similarly sized equipment.

The key for me is in the proof of the attached photos. I took a chicken salad that was about 80% solids and 20% liquids and decided to see if this could handle pulling a vacuum on and, be able to seal something like that. In my experience, only the industrial clam-shell type vacuums could do that, and even then, many couldn’t. As the pictures show, being able to adjust the speed, the vacuum, and the moisture content did the job. We lost a bit of liquid but not so much that it choked the vacuum by filling the chamber, and it was still able to heat through the wet plastic bag. BTW, I used a generic bag for this, not the higher quality bags that come with the unit because I will usually use generic bags!

I’ve put my other unit on the bench as a standby, but I’ll be using this from now on. If I see a change in its performance, I’ll update this review.

Review of: MagicVac Vacuum Sealer Machine Maxima2

Geoff : Best Vacuum Sealer I've Owned

I have had a classic 'vaucseal' for a very long time and I have put it through its paces. I didn't realize how overdue I was for a replacement until I gave the MagicVac Maxima2 Vacuum Sealer a go. This is a prosumer level sealer which does an amazing job. The sealer comes with a roll of bags and a handful of loose bags which have been pre-sealed on one side. It took a few tries to figure out the sweet spot for this machine, it's sensitive to getting the lid locked down correctly. Once you hit that sweet spot, it does a far better job than my old sealer ever did. MagicVac has their own proprietary bags, which are top quality, but the machine can use third party sealer bags. Top notch quality in a product that looks and feels like a professional tool, priced for the home.

R+L HOME : A must have!

This is my first experience with a vacuum sealer and I am solidly hooked. I was really overwhelmed when I first received it, but became pleasantly surprised when I realized how easy and intuitive it is to use. It took me all of 2 minutes to read through the manual and there was virtually no learning curve to sealing food in the bags. The machine itself is really, really nice. It’s heavy, stout, and just pleasant to look at. It came with a bundle of bags to try immediately. The bags appear heavy duty and I feel they will last a long while in the freezer. I have used all of them to seal various meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc. for long term storage in our deep freezer and did not run across a single issue with tearing. There is a handy chart within the manual that provides an estimated time of storage. It is really extraordinary the length that this machine adds to the longevity of your food. I would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to keep foods fresher for longer, but especially to large families with children. This is a Costco shopper’s dream!

WSW : Works Great!

I have never owned a vacuum sealer before so I was a little hesitant to begin with. Once I read the instructions, it didn't take long to catch on. I had four steaks that I did separately, and then I had a bunch of hotdog and hamburgers buns which I packaged in smaller meal-size portions and froze. The steaks I didn't freeze. I cooked two sous-vide style because they have to be in sealed bags, and the other two I put in the refrigerator. A week later I cooked the other two pieces of steak, and they were still fresh. That's a big win! The buns have also been in great shape when I pull them out of the freezer while I make burgers or dogs. I'm very satisfied with the ease of use and the preservation of the feed you seal. I used the bags that came with the machine, but I also used some other branded sealer bags, and they worked well, too.

R. Sebring : Awkwardly clunky and oversized for what it does.

I got this to replace a smaller $40 vacuum sealer that we got at a big box store and that did not survive it's 5th trip from the countertop to the floor thanks to inquisitive children wanting to 'help'. I though I'd like the larger size and more robust construction, but...

What we like:
- This thing sucks. Well, in a good way. It really pulls out the air from even the cheapo bags we still occasionally get from the big box bonanza store. Sous vide cooking is wonderfully easy using this, but the old cheap model, despite not being quite as efficient at removing 100% of the air, still led us to tender flavorful steaks and pork chops.
- Easy operation. Set up bag ends, press down lid, hold lightly... done! Still, that's like nearly every other unit I've seen.
- A lot of options. We didn't use many of them, but it comes with a plethora of options for partial suction, partial pressures, etc...

What we found lacking:
- Too big. It's a sealer, and it takes up as much space as a toaster oven. This thing is HUGE! Since we only sous vide and/or buy groceries in bulk about twice a month, this lives in the cabinets above the fridge and has to be dragged down every time we use it. Much too big to leave on the countertop unless you have too much counterspace, which as any cook knows, is never, ever the case.
- Heavy. A larger unit demands more weight, but still this thing is dense.
- Noisy with an annoying high pitched hum at the end. It's odd, but after the normal vacuuming (which is as loud as a basic unit if not moreso) there's a high pitched squeal from inside the vacuum housing, almost as if a teensy tiny bit of air is escaping. Think tightly pinched balloon neck very slightly opened. It's just loud enough to be noticeable (and annoying)

Overall, we like the unit, but for the size, weight, and cost, it doesn't outshine the cheapo version we had prior which was $150 less expensive and much more portable (for better or worse)

Billye : Like it so far.

It is hard to adjust the correct placement of the bag at first. The instructions could be a little clearer. The seal on the custom size bags don't completely seal each time even if you have waited the correct amount of time.

MOCTODNOZAMA : Awesome semi-professional quality vacuum sealer...

THE GOOD:
--------------
* Strong double pump vacuum
* Built in roller holder and cutter
* Built in storage for power cord, as well as vacuum tube accessories.
* Easy to use and intuitive.. I skimmed through the instructions. LOL!
* Made in Italy.

THE BAD:
-----------
* I don't know. Can't think of anything right now. It seals our food perfectly thus far. We'll see what issues may arise down the road, but as for now, this is 5-stars!

Beth A : I cannot recommend this vacuum sealer at all

I cannot recommend this vacuum sealer at all

I have tried everything I can think of, short of putting all of my weight on it, and I cannot get it to work. I've read and re-read the instructions, but haven't been able to identify user problems. It does not seal the material into bags. Parts will be untouched, while others are starting to melt through. I've tried it with the bag material provided, and a variety of others, and the results are the same. Then there's the issue that when I try to vacuum and seal pre-made bags, it doesn't vacuum the air out, so it doesn't even attempt to seal it, not that I would want it to seal an unvacuumed bag, but I can't see if it would seal better on that setting than on the one just for sealing. I cannot recommend this even though it's attractive, and stands on end for storage, which would be much more convenient than the FoodSaver I meant for it to replace.

Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.

IMScrat : I was warned Italian sealers were good

I have a US made sealer here but I heard that italian sealers are better made. That turns out to be true. It seems well made and it functions fantastically. It was easy to get up and running in a few minutes. The video really helped as the instructions are in Italian. I'll put up with that for a quality sealer. I love that you can seal jars like my old one...I use that function quite alot for quite a few things. This is definitely worth the money.

Whidbey Mary : Top of the Line Sealer With lots of Options

This MagicVac Vacuum Sealer is top of the line. I have a couple of earlier models of vacuum sealers and found them to be very useful. This one has more options which make it even more useful. The graphics make it understandable and easy to operate right from the box.

The dry, wet, and very wet sealing options are critical to making it a useful sealing machine. Cleaning is easy because of the removable drip tray. The tube allows jars to be sealed as well. Having the roll of bags stored in the sealer is very handy as well.
