Inkbird Vacuum Sealer Machine with Starter Kit, Automatic PowerVac Air Sealing Machine for Food Preservation, Dry & Moist Sealing Modes,Built-in Cutter,Easy Cleaning Storage

This is my 3rd meal sealer. The other brands broke so quickly. I chose the Inkbird after reading tons of reviews and comparing prices and reliability. I love the functionality of the Inkbird, especially the moist food option, the pulse option and ease of use. However, it started to malfunction after 7 months. I simply could not throw out yet another. I emailed Inkbird through the Amazon link. The manufacturer was VERY responsive. After a few email messages with Lily at Inkbird, sending video of the issue, A NEW ONE IS ON THE WAY.I am impressed with their speed of response and their willingness to work with me on a resolution. Because of this, I’d buy other products from this company.

I recently purchased the Inkbird Vacuum Sealer, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From its innovative design to its impressive functionality, this vacuum sealer is a must-have for anyone serious about food preservation or meal prepping.Versatile Food ModesThe upgraded six food modes—Dry, Moist, Liquid, Pulse, Seal, and Canister—make this device truly stand out. I love the Liquid Mode for vacuum-sealing marinated foods and soups, which is often tricky with other sealers. The Pulse Mode is a game-changer for delicate items like bread, allowing me to control the vacuum process manually to avoid squishing. The ability to preserve wine and use canisters is another fantastic addition.Compatibility and ReliabilityThe flexibility to use different bag thicknesses is a huge bonus. Whether I'm sealing thin vegetable bags or thicker bags for meats, the Inkbird handles it effortlessly. It ensures an airtight seal every time, even with moist foods, which can be challenging for many sealers.High PerformanceWith 130W power and -80Kpa suction strength, it vacuums and seals bags in as little as 10–20 seconds. This speed, combined with a wide 2mm sealing strip, ensures liquid and moisture don’t compromise the seal. Plus, the built-in overheating protection is reassuring for extended use during meal prep sessions.Compact DesignThe compact and lightweight design is perfect for saving counter space. It’s also portable enough for camping trips and picnics. Despite its small size, the 11.8" sealing length allows for sealing multiple bags at once, which is a great time-saver.Complete Starter KitThe included starter kit, with vacuum bags, an air suction hose, and a sealing strip, means you’re ready to start sealing right out of the box. It’s also ETL-certified, adding peace of mind regarding safety and quality.Final ThoughtsThe Inkbird Vacuum Sealer is a powerhouse in a small package. It’s perfect for home cooks, food enthusiasts, or anyone looking to reduce food waste and keep meals fresh longer. The versatility, reliability, and thoughtful design make it a fantastic investment.

Seems to work well so far, I have used it a few times and and it fast and works well. I like the compact size so it is easy to store. I did have an issue with my first use because the directions are kind of lacking so it did not seal correctly due to the bag being overfilled.

Years ago I had a food saver and I gave up using it because I tried to seal some fish that happened to have liquid with it and it escaped the bag and got all inside the unit and made it stink. In hindsight I probably didn’t make the bag long enough. But I gave up on trying to clean it and never replaced it. Nowadays I have been tossing too much food in the bin because I don’t get around to eating it due to my busy schedule. I also have started smoking meats and cheeses and I would like to Start cooking ahead to save time in the evenings. I considered another food saver since they seem to be ever popular and I was amazed at the selection of different machines from a plethora of manufacturers, most of which I’d never even heard of available from Amazon. There was too much to choose from but I recognized the Inkbird name because they also make high quality meat thermometers for barbecuing and grilling enthusiasts. So I thought I would investigate further. This sealer has a lot of positive reviews and it just felt like the one I should take a chance on. The price is great on this machine but that wasn’t necessarily a factor for me, I just wanted something of quality that worked really well that I wouldn’t have to worry about the problem I had before with. It got delivered yesterday and the first thing that I sealed was a block of sharp cheddar cheese from the grocery that I smoked a week ago and wrapped in plastic wrap. So I sealed it with The Inkbird and I was impressed at how quickly and easily it worked. One feature that I really loved is the bag cutter. It makes for a convenient way to custom cut the size of your bags without having to haul out your kitchen scissors. I haven’t sealed anything with liquid in it yet but I think it’ll do a fine job with that. I also have to make the bag a little longer to give the liquid a place to go other than out of the bag. The price of this unit is extremely reasonable. It seems to be a high build quality and it’s solid. It has a detachable power cord and is small enough to be unobtrusive on your kitchen counter or easily stored if you don’t want to keep it out. I imagine that you could use any brand of freezer bag with it but I am the kind that likes to use the genuine accessories that’s supposed to be used for whatever it is. So I was happy to see that InkBird Also offers its own bags for its sealer but like I said I am sure that it will except other brands of bags as well as long as they fit properly (ask the manufacturer). I think it’s a good product for a small to medium household with a moderate amount of food sealing to do. I enthusiastically recommend this item!.
