A great addition ot my kitchen devices
I decided on this model after examining a wide range of reviews on various models available. Based on the reviews and customer feedback this one had the best satisfaction to purchase ratio and even though I didn't originally intend to spend this much, I eventually discounted the cheaper models due to their apparent lack of suitability and durability.
I love it when a product does what it says it will do with a minimum of fuss and that's what this machine does. Its easy to use and the instructions are fairly short and to the point, though I did spot a grammatical error on the sealing operation which threw me for a second.
Page nine section 5 reads - 'Open the upper lid and place either the open end of the bag material on the sealing strip'.
It should read - Open the upper lid and place either end of the open bag material on the sealing strip. ( the second "the" being superfluous)
I've used it half a dozen times only, so can't speak to durability or longevity, but it does seal, vacuum, and generally work very well. Before purchasing I was initially concerned the vacuuming in process wouldn't be sufficient to provide proper extended life of the sealed contents, but the process is really quite thorough with all the air being properly evacuated from the bag, so my fears have been allayed. It's sturdy, well made and also comes with two rolls of vacuum bags which you can cut to length, something I found particularly handy.
I do recommend buying this device.
