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.

Great product!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I just used this product for the first time and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I just went in my Deli drawer in my refrigerator and bagged all my food. It’s a little pricey, but I don’t regret paying the price. It’s definitely worth it. So easy to use and so practical. I had made a review about not receiving the small bags and only getting 30 medium bags. I went to remove the comment on Amazon and could not figure out how to remove it. It was my fault for not checking all the bags that were included. I DID receive them. I absolutely love this product. Works exactly as advertised. I’m so glad I didn’t get that OTHER PRODUCT that takes up so much counter space. I highly recommend this product!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Small, convenient and easy to use
I’ve been using it quite a bit in the kitchen for the 3 days that I’ve had it. It works well and it’s nice how the bags are reusable. I have a large Food Saver unit which didn’t get used as much unless I had a larger amount of stuff to seal since it was large and awkward to get out and use. Also since the bags were single use you couldn’t get a portion out without wasting the bag and having to start over. This Chef Preserve is so small and conveniently within reach, I find myself using it more often. I’m pleased I made the investment.

Chef Preserve Compact Vacuum Sealer Review
This little vacuum packs a punch! Once I received the Chef Preserve Compact Vacuum Sealer, I put it to the test on Hickory Farms cheeses and sausages, vegetables, and various other meats for the freezer. I couldn’t believe how this little device sealed my food as if it was professionally packed. The overall kit is thoughtfully designed, coming with a charging cable, a great cover that lets it sit on the counter perfectly, and three different sized bags that make sealing food simple and straightforward.After a full charge, the vacuum sealer runs for hours, providing ample time to seal everything from small snacks to a large, full-size dinner if needed. It’s compact, efficient, and incredibly user-friendly. For anyone looking for a space-saving vacuum sealer that truly delivers, this is a must-have addition to your kitchen!

Easy, convenient, works well!
So far I’m loving the Chelf Reserve Compact sealer. It does what it says making it easy to reseal cheeses, onions etc to make them last longer in the fridge. The machine is small enough to fit in a drawer making it super convenient. This would have been a 5 star purchase if it had come with a VARIETY pack of bags instead of just the medium size bags. Yes, I will order the smaller bags but it should have come with a few. Great purchase!

This product is a little gem!
I have a big sealer, but this is so small and easy to keep handy right on the counter. It came with the 30 bags, 15 med and 15 small, although it looked, upon unpacking, that it was 3 pkgs of 10 med. The smalls are folded within the mediums for 3 pkgs of 5 and 5 each. I only had one bag draw air back in, but that was my fault as the zipper seal was not quite sealed. Once that was corrected and sealer was reintroduced, the bag has remained sealed. Sealer automatically stops when all the air has been evacuated.I have sealed veggies after cutting up as prep to roasting, stir-frying, etc. I've even sealed shredded greens, but I haven't allowed sealer to vacuum fully so as not to bruise the delicate leaves. And I've sealed grilled meats for leftovers. Be sure to keep moisture away from sealing point by either holding the bag corner up a bit to keep liquids running down away from sealing point, or place in freezer a short bit first to solidify moisture.I have used shredded greens from sealed bags, and resealed, and produce still tastes great. Meats, too.It's just a quick and simple way to preserve freshness. Seal up a refrigerated item, use from it and seal it again! Bags wash up nicely for reuse. I love it every time I use it.Comes with the bags, zipper guides (although I've been able to zip with fingers only) and a charging cable, but no adapter to wall outlet.
