Good buy
Glad to purchase the food vacuum sealer. The product is well made. It doesn’t sound loud when turned on for vacuum sealing. The bags are well made and don’t smell. It’s very simple to use. Hopefully it will be a reliable product. Only time will tell.Update 10/11/25: I have used the Chef Preserve vacuum and the bags since my Amazon purchase. What a game changer having the vacuum sealer that’s so easy to use for food storage. It’s like having a new toy when I was a child that I just didn’t want to put away.I ordered more smaller storage bags. The bag sealing was very good, but I did have one medium bag not stay vacuum sealed in the refrigerator. After about a week after I sealed the food, it inflated.Here are tips that I learned using the bags:1. Make sure to seal the bag using the small white plastic bag sealer. I then put the bag on a flat surface and use my thumb to press against the top opening, checking for any leaks.2. I held the bags upright and used the Chef sealer to take out the air inside the bag. This also helps when I put frozen food in the bag and watery condensation builds up, which can get sucked out by the Chef sealer.3. If I see too much watery condensation building up inside the bag before I am ready to seal it, I use a paper towel to wipe dry the area around the white plastic attachment on the bag. I then seal the bag and use the Chef sealer to take out the air.4. I handwash the bags with warm soapy water and let them air dry.5. Plastic storage bags can absorb food smells due to their porous nature, which allows odors to cling to the material if the bags are not sealed properly or cleaned immediately after use.6. I reuse the same bags for storing the same foods. Some food put in anything plastic will still have the scent of that particular food. Seasoning meat or fish placed the sealer bags will still have slight scent after you wash the bag. So, when I buy more fish or meat I use the same washed bags.Update 10/23/25: I noticed one bag in my refrigerator; the small bag size that had baby carrots in it was starting to inflate. I checked the top opening to make sure it was sealed, and it looked good. I used the Chef sealer to take out the air again. I decided to put a food label on the white round attachment after it was vacuum sealed. (See arrow.) I put it back in the refrigerator, and after several days it’s not inflating. It looks like adding a label on the white round attachment helps with some bags that don’t vacuum well.
