Anova Culinary Precision Port Handheld Vacuum Sealer,BLACK

Works great with the Anova sous vide. The bags that are included can be reused. We sous vide a few times a week and have had this item for 9 months so far and it works great. We have had to clean it and charge it, but it is still sealing nicely.

The suction power is better 1000% better than my 30 year old food saver. 50% better than my Food Saver when it was new. I charged it overnight using a phone charger and it was ready to go this morning. We are always wasting onions because we don't use the whole onion soon enough so I put some cut onions in a plastic bag which I didn't seal completely. Then I put that bag in the Anova bag so as to keep the Anova bag clean. In less than 20 seconds I had a perfect vaccuum seal. This will pay for itself quickly in food saved, not to mention the extra freshness of the food. I really like the small size for storage reasons. If it only lasts a year, I will just buy another.

First one i received had to be replaced. This replacement worked about 100 times and then flat out DIED.;Would not buy this product

I really love this vacuum sealer and its flexibility utilizing resealable bags. The only downside is that it didn’t last very long — about 8 months and it just stopped working. It was very effective while it worked. At least it is not exorbitantly expensive (so far) so replacing it is not bankrupting.

I got this after a more popular alternative died (twice). This one has amazing battery life (100+ vacuum seals) and has been very reliable. Huge improvement over the other brand I tried.

We bought this in July of 2023. It stopped sealing in September.We tried to have the internal battery changed by our local Batteries Plus outlet. However, they were unable to open the compartment. We liked the sealer, but can't recommend due to the short life of the product.

Others might be good at throw away bags but this handy one rules for ported bags. Keep it on the counter or in a drawer, it’s always handy. Pro tip: place it firmly and walk away and let it finish.

Works just ok.
