Questions about MagicVac Vacuum Sealer Machine Maxima2 Commercial Double Piston Pump 12" Smart Sealing Bar Roll Storage Holder and Cutter Locking Lid with Look-In Window Includes Starter Kit MADE IN ITALY
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!
Product reviews of MagicVac Vacuum Sealer Machine Maxima2 Commercial Double Piston Pump 12" Smart Sealing Bar Roll Storage Holder and Cutter Locking Lid with Look-In Window Includes Starter Kit MADE IN ITALY
EveryDayCarry : Wish I had this years earlier
We just got and started using our Magic Vac 2 Sealer. It's our first, and we can see using it for many things for years to come. So far, we have used it to vacuum seal hamburgers and bread for the freezer. Oh yes, my wife has also used it to vacuum seal some coffee. The applications are endless. The machine is easy to use, fast, quite compared to some others we saw, and does not take up too much room. And it looks very nice - nice design and lines.
Amazon Customer : Does not work
When it was opened, missing feet, the unit was warped and would not sit without rocking.
The instruction manual was ripped into about 10 pieces. Tried the unit and it would not seal nor vacuum one of the bags included. All the bags included were waded up and were unusable.
The unit was immediately sent back, once burned will not have the same unit.
Amazon is great, unfortunately this product should not even be considered.
AnitaAZ : YAY, No waiting for the seal bar to cool,
I'm very happy with this machine, I've had 10 plus vacuum sealers and this is my favorite.
First you don't have to wait 30 plus seconds after each time it vacuum seals for the sealing bar to cool.
Second it has excellent suction, and isn't labored when it's close to the end.
3rd it has a manual pulse button, so you can vacuum breads and other fragile foods without crushing them.
4th you can vacuum and seal liquids by using the pulse button and setting the sealing time longer.
5th it can be stored on its back, which brings me to my only complaint. The cord storage hole is really tight, and if you don't have the cord and plug tucked in perfectly you will not be able to store it on its back.
Again I'm very happy with it and believe you will be too. See my video for a closer look and demonstration.
Thank you!
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
Gunny V : Nice
It’s all in a foreign language from the instructions to the the provided literature but the video on how it operates is in English. I’m impressed with how quick and easy it was to work for us. We had it going in a matter of minutes. It has a ton of graphics that insure getting it right the first time for all of it’s different ways to use it. Having the addition of being able to use it on jars just added more convenience. It’s very well made and the pieces and parts fit well together and seams and gaps were consistent throughout the sealer. It also can use other brand bags but not all of them so test them if you got them. Very nice addition to our kitchen as it fits our current decor. It is a bit big but it does a lot. Four Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!
Claire : Best of the best vac sealer.
Have had one for 8 plus years and still works great. This is an upgrade since then and am very impressed. Would highly recommend.
Amazon Customer : Works as advertised
Needed a vac sealer that wouldn’t overheat when putting up sweet corn from a big garden. I did overheat it once making bags but I made a bunch at once so that is a non issue to me it way out did all the other sealers ive had. Far as vac sealing it does a excellent job the pulse feature is nice and its a strong vacuum really pulls the air out. It seals generic or name brand bags all the same. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.

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.
Frank E. Trinkle : WOW WOW WOW!!! This is a MASTERPIECE of design, construction and performance!!
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 have been totally blown away by the design, construction, operation, and attention to detail that this phenomenally well-made and performing Italian Vacuum Sealer has elicited! It is the best I have ever seen or used at the prosumer level...bar none!
I never would have believed that I would ever see a vacuum sealer at this level that would outshine my long-time Weston Pro model that I have relied on for years. Yet, this new Maxima 2 system simply blows the socks of of it!
The number of superlatives are very numerous! * For all the great functions this sealer is capable of, it is still compact and smaller than my Weston while doing more. * Dual vacuum pumps provide strong suction and exceptional performance. * Vacuum settings include Auto function, plus manual sealing and manual pulse vacuum * THree sealing levels are selectable for regular or somewhat damp and very wet sealing to assure a tight seal * A marinating selection is for external containers and highly effective * The drip tray is removable and DISHWASHER SAFE!! * A roll of vacuum bags can be stored internally * A bag cutter in integral to the interior of the unit * The power cord and be stored internally in the unit, relieving space and a hanging cord * The canister suction hose is stored internally in a compartment under the unit, along with a manual bag cutter. * The sealer has a transparent window on the top of the unit to assure that bag placement is proper. * The top locks easily with a click lever operable from either side and released the same way * The unit is quieter than most other vacuum sealers I have tested and reviewed. * The included starter pack of bags and roll are of a unique design that channels vacuumed air better than others.
Available containers for the system include a 2L marinating dish as well as a 3-sized round container set with a vacuum plug for wine bottles or other bottled liquids.
This will clearly become my primary external vacuum sealer unit and replace the hard working model that has served me until now. It is just THAT much better, and the typical European attention to details is extremely evident in the model as well as the appearance!
This is a VERY VERY HIGH FIVE STAR vacuum sealer that will easily make its home in any kitchen, and in some commercial kitchens as well. I cannot express just how impressed I have been by this outstanding product. Cheaper than others at the Prosumer level, yet far surpasses them for functions and details. HIGHLY recommended it you want a vacuum sealer that will do it all and do it phenomenally well for years to come! Bon Appetit!

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!
