Always wanted a vacuum sealer. Decided on this one because of the higher 90Kpa and 8 in 1.
I like the idea of not wasting food. As a single guy making opened food and meals last a little longer is must, especially when I BBQ and end up with a ton of leftovers. And most food packaging isn't designed for singles or small batches. Also like the option to seal and protect non food items as well. Vacuum sealer to the rescue.Shopped around quite a bit before settling on this one. Is compact, has one the more higher powered vacuums and has all your basic features plus hose attachment. Have sealed a few bags and items now, that's pretty much the bulk of what I'll be using it for ... so far has it has done an excellent job of sucking the air out and heat sealing the bag, very tight shrink. Pretty easy to use and compact. Bought a roll of extra bags, comes with a bunch of two size pre-cut pouches. Only thing odd is the cutter on top, it's a razor slider, it works but it's a little awkward to use while holding things in place with one hand and trying to get a clean straight cut with the other. Comes with replacement foam strip for the inside vacuum reservoir, instructions were tucked between the bags. Hopefully this unit as a whole will last.

Works well and fast; couldn't be happier
My old Tescook vac sealer fell to pieces, so I read reviews -- the most persuasive by a woman familiar with the brand -- and ordered this Koios model. I couldn't be happier. No need for me to add another video; just watch those with five stars. It's far faster, more efficient, simpler and smarter than my old sealer. It pulls the air out of bags with moist food without also sucking the moisture into the machine.My Koios vac sealer just came today. I've already sealed and frozen maybe 12 cooked chicken tenders (for my miniature Aussie), six fat cooked chicken breasts, and bunch of peeled bananas (great frozen snack), all in individual bags.I use a vac sealer all the time and have a good stock of bags. I dehydrate sweet potato slices for healthy dog treats and seal them into small bags. Vac sealing keeps dry nuts, beans, rice, etc. fresh and saves space.It came with nice extras: an external slicer to cut bigger bags into smaller ones; an exterior tube and stopper to suck the air out of wine bottles and other containers. Best extra: a replacement foam gasket. The sealer didn't come with instructions. No problem for anyone who's used one before; otherwise look on YouTube.I loved my old sealer. I love this one more.PS: since this review, I’ve vacuum sealed dehydrated sweet potatoes as dog treats nearly every day.

Seals well.
Used as soon as it arrived. Works well. Time will tell how long it will last but appears to be good quality for home use.

Great no-frills vacuum sealer 5/5
I bought this vacuum sealer to replace an old foodsaver I bought circa 2011. I was looking to get a newer foodsaver model - since my old one endured years of heavy duty work - but I was discouraged by some of the reviews I read about their newer machines and the price tag, so I decided to give this one a try and I' glad I did!The first thing I noticed is how small and lightweight the unit is. While it can handle big bags, the unit itself is quite small and can easily be stored without taking up much space.The suction power is great for such a small machine. I put some popcorn kernels in a bag to put the suction and the sealing to the test... it did a great job! Although the seal on the bag seemed weaker (by weaker I mean thinner) it has been close to a week and no air has gotten through the bag. I have yet to test it on moist food, but I am sure it will do well. The only downside is that it doesn't have a drip tray inside of the machine like my old foodsaver had, but I can live with that.Although it is a budget machine, it does have some pretty nice extra features. Inside of the unit there is a little bag cutter hand-held tool and it came with a hose attachment and some replacement "foams" in there too.Another plus is that they are adding a free 2-year extended warranty which I think none of the other ones in that price range are doing right now. Would definitely recommend!

We love it. Works best with dry food
We put the wet food in a zip lock, throw it in the freezer first to make it "dry" and then use this to seal up everything and get the food ready to Sous vide for next time.We haven't had much luck with wet food.Not very noisy. Great suction! Seals well for dry food - not for wet food. Works fast. Small size so stores easily.

DOESN’T WORK
I’d give zero if I can. It barely worked the first use, but I was able to make do. I used it two weeks later and it completely doesn’t work. Vacuum sealer take little to no air out of the bag then seals it 1/2 ass as well. I’m doing everything the instructions say. This is a terrible product. Don’t waste your money, this thing lasts a few uses and thats all.
