This is a great vacuum sealer!
Let me start by saying that that I have been vacuum sealing for years. I had an old FoodSaver®️ brand that I got from a garage sale, but unfortunately it finally quit working. So, after a few months of not having one, I decided to start looking for a new one.After a lot of research and reading a lot of reviews, many hours worth, I decided to get the Gasbye VS5166. Not only did it have a lot of great reviews, and a great price, but the 5 year warranty really sold me on it.It arrived a day earlier than expected (kudos Amazon & UPS), which made me happy, as I was anxious to start using it. It came well packaged, and included a roll of vacuum bags and a few premade bags as well.The instructions were straightforward, easy to understand and follow. I read the instructions, got it all set up and got started. The buttons are intuitive and easy to understand. I like the removable drip tray, options to pulse seal a bag, and the fact that it has the option to double seal the bags if you need to. It includes an air suction hose (many brands don’t) for vacuum seal food canisters (not included, but Gasbye informed me they plan on offering one in March) and mason jar sealer’s, either of which can be purchased on Amazon.Now, on to my testing: The roll cutter (so you can make custom sized bags) is easy to use and works great with a nice smooth motion. For my testing, I used the roll and precut bags that came with it, and some leftover FoodSaver®️and Bosenkitchen vacuum rolls that I had.I started by vacuum sealing some dry goods that I buy in bulk (almonds, pepitas, dry beans etc.), to see how well the seal holds up on non refrigerated or frozen items.Next I vacuum sealed over a dozen boneless skinless chicken breast halves (my local grocery had a really good sale on them), some for freezing and some for Sous Vide. Then I went on to fresh produce (celery, bell peppers, carrots etc.) for freezing.The Gasbye performed great, with good suction power and worked equally well with all the different brands of bags. It’s been over a week now, and none of the bags have lost their seal, including the ones I used to Sous Vide in. If that changes, I’ll update that here.I am very happy with my purchase, and recommend it.

Great product and company!
The Gasbye Vacuum Sealer Machine is wonderful. I have had mine for over 10 months. The suction and ease of use are great. It's a good value for the money, the cleanup is a breeze, the food remains very fresh and the auto feature works superbly. I would easily purchase this unit again and if I need other products that this company sells/manufactures, I would definitely consider them Their customer support is outstanding.I ran into a small problem with sealing and contacted their customer support via e-mail. I was not only surprised, but impressed with the speed at which they responded to my inquiry and their level of concern for my satisfaction in resolving my issue. Amy was the customer support person that I worked with over the phone. She is the epitome of customer service. I would gladly do business with this company again!! I have purchased their containers and bags, and I would highly recommend them.

This is an amazing Sealer. Must Have.
I have been wanting to purchase a sealer for years. I bought this because of the great reviews. I used it for the first time today. Easy to use, Fast, not very loud, very well built, and the instructions are well written. I used it to seal meat that I purchased on sale. I must say it did the job great. No learning curve just easy step by step directions. I love that they gave me a 5 year warranty. I am sure that this will save me time and money in the years ahead. Great Product. I sent them an email to let them know how well I liked it. I was amazed at the quick kind response from them. will not go wrong with this.

Good sturdy machine
Machine works great and the bags are sturdy and easy to use and cut. We used it to stock up on and freeze meals. The seals are strong and tight and the bags are durable.

Great Vacuum Sealer with many functions. Well worth the money
Very happy with this Gasbye Vacuum Sealer. I've purchased other brands in the past and was not happy with them at all. This Gasbye Vacuum Sealer is good quality, has many functions, very easy to use, vacuums and seals perfectly. Well worth the money.

Easy to use and versatile.
I wish I had found this years ago. I love it! So easy to use and it’s going to really make a difference because I usually buy food in bulk and thus will be great for storing food in the pantry or freezer. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Great manual control
So far this works beautifully! I'm very impressed with the quality of the seal and the function of the vacuum. It seals very well on the automatic setting, but I am most amazed with the manual vacuum. It suctioned down perfectly on shredded cheese, never let any air back into the bag and sealed very securely. I've owned a food saver before, but Im honestly more impressed with this machine!
